Emile Henry 14-by-11-Inch Lasagna Baker, Cerise

You will not be disappointed in Emile Henry products
This lasagna baker is pricey, but so worth every penny. This is my second one as my husband dropped the first one and, well, yes, it cracked. We contemplated whether we should just buy a cheap version of this size or pay the extra bucks and get the same one. With my really good experiences with the first one, I decided I did not want to chance it. The following are the positives of this baker:
1) Great size for family sized lasagna, potato gratin and generously sized dishes;
2) Bakes evenly with no "hot spots";
3) Glaze is so smooth and without defects so often found on cheaper bakers that clean up is super easy;
4) You can stick this in fridge, freezer, oven, dishwasher without worrying wheather it will crack (the only place you cannot use this is the stove);
5) It looks so good that it can go directly from oven to table; and
6) The handles are perfect for getting a secure grip when handling in mitts, but not too protrusive that storage in fridge...

cleans easy
Wow! I just had to make two back-to-back dishes of my Crepes Ensenada and needed to hurry doing it. So I made one full dish, cooled it, took it out, and without cleaning it first (I never would do that with any other dish!), baked another full dish. Yes, I had to use a scraper on it after it soaked, but it came out clean, without too much time spent doing it too. No scratches and lovely crepes to boot. The only thing about this dish is that, because of its size, one has to be very careful washing/rinsing it, so it is not banged in the sink. If banged, like glass, it may crack at a future date.

The color is a bit darker than the picture of the red Cherise and the yellow Citron dishes. Of course, when one is viewing colors on a computer, the type of graphics card and its settings can cause variations on the color we see vs. the color that the host site is actually displaying.

LOVE this BAKER!
I have two in this size. Absolutely, hands down --- love this baker. It cleans beautifully, I made lasagna for Christmas dinner, of course some cheese burned onto this baker............ cleaned like a champ. Looks brand new. The price can't be beat.
And as I always state with Emile Henry, Le Crueset, Fiestaware....... they are safe to cook in. No toxins being released into your food. For "me" this trumps all of the other wonderful qualities!

Great purchase.
