Sophie Conran by Portmeirion 11-1/2-by-9-1/4-Inch Lasagna Baker, White

Measuring 11-1/2 by 9-1/4 inches, this rectangular baker is generously wide and deep for lasagna, a fruit cobbler, or a casserole. The rimless sides are slightly wavy and uneven, giving it a rustic yet modern appeal. Extremely strong and chip-resistant, the baking dish is safe not only for use in the oven or microwave, but can be placed directly on an electric (not gas) burner to sauté onions or reduce drippings to gravy. A pre-made casserole in this dish can go right from the freezer into a hot oven and from there to the table for serving. After use, the dish can be scrubbed clean by hand or slipped into the dishwasher. The lasagna dish makes a great gift for the cook who appreciates life's simple pleasures. --Ann Bieri
