I have to say I bought this size dish after I bought some smaller Le Creuset dishes at TJ Maxx. The other reviewers are right about the clean up. I bake chicken a lot, and trying to get the burnt chicken grease and gunk off of a glass dish is very difficult. This almost wipes clean with a paper towel, and what doesn't come off with that comes off when you soak the dish in water for as little as 10 minutes. I see no reason to not buy more Le Creuset now. Just look for it at TJ Maxx first. They are much cheaper there. For some reason there have been 2 or 3 price increases here on Amazon over the last week or so. I love the Kiwi color vs. red, blue and even white.

love this. perfect size for cooking a million dishes, cleans beautifully- can't beat Le Creuset!

This baking dish is great and just what I was looking for. It looks beautiful and cleaned up easier than my glass baking dish does. I was worried it would arrive in pieces after I read some other reviews but it was intact and perfect. Now I'll have to get some more in different sizes since this one worked so well.

I ordered this product last May 6 with prime membership, hoping to get it for mother's day, May 8. Arrived 5 days later, broken to pieces. Ordered a replacement and it arrived the next day. Very happy for a quick replacement till I pick up the box --once again, I can already hear the broken pieces rattling inside. I would have loved the product, love the color, but it seems that we are not meant for each other. I succumbed to the cue, I just cancelled the order. How am I gonna trust it to not be broken after few more handling by me when it was already beaten up in the mail? I blame the packaging. The box that first arrived I noticed they just fill it up with crumpled paper, no bubble wrap at all. Probably the same on the second one since they shared the same fate (I refused to open it, what's the use?). Funny though because I ordered a kiwi colored pasta fork and it arrived well packed, even with bubble wrap, even if it is made of wood and silicone. Oh, what am I gonna do with it now that I don't have the matching dish? Probably will return too. :(

The manufacturer says you can use this "baking dish" up to 500 degrees. Well, it broke in half at only 400 degrees after just a few uses. The warranty is not very good, because you have to ship it back to them so they can "inspect" the damage (to make sure you didn't drop it) and by then you are out almost half the cost of the thing brand new!

Plus, the few times we did use it we found it hard to clean - food stuck to it with a ferocity!

Maybe we got a bum unit, but I was NOT impressed with the quality.

This product might be very good... but I would not buy it from Amazon. Before I opened the package I could hear ceramic pieces rattling.
The box had clearly taken a beating. No sticker/stamp saying "FRAGILE" anywhere on the box. So disappointing!

I returned it and will try to buy it in a store.

I also got a corningware in the shipment. It was not broken, but now I feel a little paranoid that it might crack when I cook in it, due to the stress during shipping. This is a head ache. I think I learnt my lesson. Buy fragile stuff in a real store where hopefully it hasn't been beaten up.
