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.
