I cover mine with foil loosely until the last 5-10 min, that way the cheese does not burn.

Rachel Ray 9 by 13 Lasagna Pan Review

First let me say I have never seen a pan that was packed so well! I actually had a hard time getting it out of the box. I actually liked that because it meant it would not be broken when it arrived.

I loved the idea of the handles on this pan, it was so easy to wash, to pull out of the oven and then to rewash.

I used it twice tonight that is how much I LOVE IT!

First recipe was banana cake for my daughter

I could not believe how well it pulled away from the pan, it was evenly cooked and it came out nice and clean.

 The second recipe I made in the pan is some family size brownies

 Again they cooked so nice and even, they removed quickly from the pan and I was just so amazed.

To be the biggest reason I love this pan is the handles, it really makes a huge difference to have an easy way to maneuver it. I love that it cleans so easily, it also cooled pretty quick too.

If there was one con it would be that it is so big that I will have to try and find somewhere to store it, it is a little heavy so if you have trouble holding on to things it might not work as well as some glass pans the same size. I love the color and the stoneware feel to it though.

I am betting I purchase a set of Rachel Ray's smaller pans because I could see using them several times a week. As for this 9 by 13 one, I can't wait to make a lasagna in it.
