Awsome lasagna dish May 22, 2008
Ive used this dish a couple times now and I got to say its great. I never had any problem with things sticking to it and it cooked my food evenly. Like other people say its a bit heavy but thats what you are to expect with a castiron.

The BEST deep dish pan! February 29, 2008
This is a beautiful pan that justs makes you want to bake something in it. It is great for big portions, big families and holidays. Cleans up well, better than any other pan I've had.

Loved this Lasagna pan!! February 28, 2008
I used this pan for the first time tonight for lasagna and loved it! It is extremely heavy empty, much less full, but that will not stop me from using it exculsively for lasagna in the future. It cooked very evenly and browned beautifully! Mario, great product....keep them coming!

Poor quality finish February 7, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Just bought this at a Lightning Deal price and immediately saw the enamel sag lines and dimples that another reviewer referenced. Since I don't plan to clean it in the dishwasher, I'm going to give it a try before passing final judgement. The price was good and the size/shape is fantastic. This is the mother of all lasagne pans. If the enamel crazes with oven use, though, Amazon and Wilton/Batali can expect an imperfection return.

Follow-up 3/20/08:

I used the pan once and one of the dimples became a pit after baking the lasagne. When soaked for cleaning (had I remembered to coat with non-stick spray this probably would have been unnecessary), water penetrated the pit and actually left a halo of moisture under the enamel. While that dissipated on drying, I was concerned that further use would exacerbate the problem and that the enamel would eventually pop off. I hated to return this pan. The lasagne baked beautifully, retained its heat even for seconds and thirds, and produced a lasagne of so many layers that it was worthy of a photograph. But.....the pan had several dimples which probably also would have become pits with repeated use. For peace of mind, I think I'll stick to the more expensive Le Creuset or wait until the Chinese quality control improves. btw, the return was incredibly easy. Thanks, Amazon.

Revised rating: two stars

Poor Enamel Finish Quality December 7, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

I am very disappointed with the quality of finish on this large made in China Lasagna pan. It is not coated evenly or very thick. There are long sag lines in the enamel finish showing the coating is uneven with these long drip lines, and there are several pin hole indentations in the finish too. ***After running once in the dishwasher with heat dry cycle on the pan developed micro-lines like a spider web or cracked glass in gray color in each 4 corner area inside the pan.*** These visual stress lines may further crack open, though I could not feel anything by touch. Warning: only wash by hand!!!

I own several brands of cast iron enamel finish cookware. Le Creuset, Lodge, Mario Batali, Calphalon. (I examined Rachael Ray's in store.) Le Creuset & Calphalon have the best quality finish. I would not buy Mario Batali or Rachael Ray for quality finish. (Lodge would be a better less expensive choice for less expensive items.)

If you want better quality finishes then go for Le Creuset or Calphalon. If short on cash, then Lodge's new cheaper line would be my choice.

I will return this Batali and exchange it & ONLY HAND WASH. I do give this pan 5 stars for its size. It's deep which allows for more and/or thicker layers of lasagna. Filled, it will serve 12+ people with some coming back for seconds.
