Rectangular Stoneware Baking Dish, 13.5x8.25x2.5, White

after using this item for 6 months now I decided to finally review it.I will break this review down into 3 parts. First part is usage.The dish is easy to use as it has enough space to cook a meal for up to 5 people. The depth it has can hold juices or grease if your cooking something large like a ham or chicken in it and it still has room for flavoring like cut onions, carrots, or potatoes. Making a lasagna? no problem it can make a 6 layer easily. Casserole? it was made for it! It can make a nice flat meatloaf, a small batch of cornbread, a nice batch of brownies, or just to reheat some fried chicken. The handles on the side are great too, it's nice to be able to grip something with oven mitts so you don't end up dropping it or dipping the tip of your mitt into whatever you're cooking.Second part of the review is durability. Using this dish back to back cooking 5 items in a row over a 6 hour period and it held up beautifully. You can sit it directly on the oven rack and the design disperses the heat evenly so it doesn't crack or explode. the bottom has a beveled outer edge to put the weight of whatever your cooking on the walls of the dish and not the bottom. In a sink as it soaked it withheld the weight of a ton of dishes being on the bottom and didn't crack or break. Inside a dishwasher it didn't chip or wear off the coating. There are no scratches or surface marks it still shines after washed.Third part is upkeep. Very easy to wash even after the stickiest foods with a 5 minute soak in warm soapy water it comes clean or you can just throw it in the dish washer for a quick and easy cleaning. Storing it is no problem as it can be put in the bottom of a stack of dishes or hung by one of its handles. It doesn't need seasoning or any special treatment and there is no need to separate it from your pots and pans.Final thoughts:A nice size for a single person, a couple, or family of 4. Simple design that goes with any cookware. Not one of those cheap Chinese glassware.I will come back at the 1 year mark to update if any of this changes, but as for now I'm very happy with this product.

This dish is great for lite baking like veggies or fish. It's porcelain covered stoneware but not heavy at all. I love this dish for serving hot items, it looks really good and easy to clean up. The color really caught my eye. Goes well from the oven to the table with attention. It's the right size for a small party. I would recommend this product.

Love this baking dish. I've used it several times since purchase. Easy to fill. Baked well and evenly. Cleaned up well, but I tend to use a little non-stick spray to help. Very pretty in color and design. Love the oval shape.

I bought this dish to match with my other white casserole set but this dish is not white. The outside color is honeydew or seaglass and the inside of the dish is off white more of a cream color. The size is 11.5 by 8.5 but overall dimensions including handle is 13.5 by 8.2 (8 cups). This is heavy good quality dish.

I'm a single male and don't bake a lot... or hardly ever. But sometimes I get the urge for something a little different. This dish seems to fit the bill for what I need. It's fairly large and beefy and the handles make it easy to get it in and out of the oven!

I purchased this dish about 4 months ago and it has already cracked. I used it in a 350/375 degree oven, never anything hotter than that. First I noticed that the glazing looked cracked but I used it one more time and a slight crack appeared on the botton of the dish. Obviously made very cheap and I have no recourse to be able to take it back. Junk, a complete waste of money.

This dish is very solid, well-finished, and heavy enough to bake evenly. It is easy to clean even using cooking spray (which can get sticky on other dishes I have used). It is a perfect size for baking fish, chicken, and casseroles. I like the wide handles for grasping it with potholders or oven gloves, and the bottom which is ridged to protect the dish from the oven rack. A well-made baking dish. Highly recommend.

I just made 2 Quiche's for a party. Looked all over town at local kitchen shops to find Quiche baking dishes, nothing. One major chain store in an upscale mall store had a 9" pan at a cost twice as much as I paid for two of these dishes. These are everything I expected and more. They were packed well, everything baked evenly, withstood a 400 degree gas oven temp. I love when this stuff happens.
