Mario Batali Extra Deep Lasagna Pan, Pesto

 (5 customer reviews)

My family is Italian and as far back as I can remember my Mom made lasagna in a restaurant pan so it would be deep enough and big enough for the family. My own kids aren't crazy about lasagna, but I was still tired of making lasagna in small baking pans. While searching for a lasagna pan, everything I came across was too shallow. Lasagna needs more than a couple of layers!

I ordered this pan hoping to solve my problems and I couldn't be happier. The pan is long enough to fit the length of a lasagna noodle perfectly, and about three noodles wide. I used a pound of lasagna, two pounds of ricotta, one pound of mozzarella, two eggplants, one box of chopped spinach, and about a quart and a half of home-made sauce...not counting all the little things that get added in!

Can't explain why it made the lasagna taste better but everyone raved about how good it was and I made the lasagna the same way I always do. Being that it's made out of cast iron, it keeps it warmer longer than the pyrex bakinkg dish that I normally used. You can use this pan for other things other than lasagna but it makes a darn good deep, thick lasagna the way it should be. After using this, the cost of the pan was soon forgotten. Worth...Read more
