This baking dish is really nice, but it's not 4 inches deep as the product description notes. It's about 2 1/2 to 3 max... I bought it because I wanted a DEEP casserole pan.

Well I guess I will be the first to complain about this dish.. I had a party and put a large chicken and olive oil and special sauce in this dish and started cooking for the first time. Then Disaster! The dish cracked !!! not separated but enough to allow the juice and sauce drip on oven element and made a huge mess. I contacted the LeCreuset customer service a couple of times and they just ignored my complain. I probably will never buy another one of this until they get a better customer service.

I have been thrilled with the heft and quality of the Le Creuset poterie line - and this is no exception. After years of trial and error I have found this to be the perfect pan for my lasagna. I like to make BIG batches of lasagna, and this pan lets me feed an army. The color and finish are flawless and that famous Le Creuset non-stick ability is in full force here. Even after baking a big lasagna in it, washing this thing by hand is a piece of cake!

So, to sum up: Its large, it looks great, it cooks evenly, and it is very easy to clean after use. All of that for a pretty good price too! Highly recommended!

I HAVE BEEN MAKING LASAGNA FOR YEARS AND MY VERY BEST RESULTS WERE FROM USING LE CREUSET. IT DISTRIBUTES HEAT SO EVENLY THAT THE CHEESE ON TOP WAS A BREATHTAKING SIGHT- PERFECTLY BROWNED, EVENLY FROM SIDE TO SIDE, NO BURNED EDGES, AND THE INSIDE OF THE LASAGNA WAS PERFECTLY COOKED - NOT COLD OR OF A DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE, AND TO TOP IT OFF, WHEN I WAS DONE, ALL I HAD TO DO WAS RINSE IT UNDER THE FAUCET AND ALL THE FOOD SLID RIGHT OFF! NO MUSCLE NEEDED TO CLEAN THIS BABY!

This is the ultimate pan for making a deep-dish lasagna, stuffed crepes or enchiladas. I appreciate the heft of this pan and the fact that it holds the heat so well.

If you have a high wall oven and/or are a diminutive female this pan can be a challenge to get into the oven fully loaded. However, I wouldn't consider not using this product just for that reason.

This product is very easy to clean even if you burn cheese on the sides. A thirty minute soak in a sink full of hot water and it came right off with a "scrubby" sponge.

I am glad that I ordered this product. I purchased it on a "Friday Sale" and got a really good price. If you are interested check the Friday listings I have a seen it on there a few others times since I received mine approximately a year ago.

I received this baking dish as a gift and used it 5 times without complaint. The next time I used it to bake chicken it was completely broken in half when I went to remove the dish from the oven. I had done nothing differently but there has to be a problem with this product. I went online (Amazon had one complaint about breakage) but typing in LeCrueset resulted in several such complaints about the product breaking while in the overn.

I had intended to buy other pieces of LeCrueset Stoneware in different sizes but certainly will not do so.

This is NOT true le creuset. Mine also split in half in a 365 degree oven while cooking a chicken. This isn't the 'high end' line of the brand, but the ultra cheap version. Save your money and spare yourself aggravation. Check out Chantal, Portmeirion, or just about any other ceramic bakeware. I'll never buy this garbage again.

I also had the cracking problem with this deep dish pan. The first time I used it, I roasted a chicken and it cracked in 2. The juices from the chicken ran all over the place and it was a liquid greasy mess. I have many other Le Creuset pots and pan and have never had this type of problem. It is too bad because I love the line.

I was cooking a chicken breast in a 350 oven, and this pan just cracked in half. That's right, into two pieces. Never again!

It's larger than the standard sized lasagna pans! Bakes great and is so easy to clean, not to mention that it looks great. If you're going to be using it a lot it's worth it.
