Rachael Ray Stoneware 4-Quart Covered Bubble & Brown Casserole "Casseroval", Orange

 (32 customer reviews)

I purchased the four-quart version in the vivid orange color as I wanted something noteworthy to transport and serve my holiday side dish I was taking to a dinner party. While the high handles make it a bit more difficult to fit into the oven or microwave, it did just fit into my friend's smaller-size microwave as I needed to reheat it just a bit--and it's a rather whimsical piece that is sure to start conversation. While it can't be used on the stovetop, the fact that it can go into the freezer, the microwave, and the oven is a big plus--and the fact that it comes with a lid made it even handier though I wrapped a sheet of foil over the top of the casserole before putting the lid on for transport. A set of the various other pieces in this range would be a great gift for a cook or a treat to add to one's own kitchen.

This baker has so much going for it that I'm crushed it's flawed! I've been admiring it for a long time and decided to take the plunge. But, the lid doesn't fit! It doesn't seal, rendering the baker useless in situations where the recipe calls for keeping the dish covered and sealed in the oven. Also, it lets leftovers dry out in the refrigerator. I'm so disappointed; I thought Rachel Ray products would be fool proof.

This is my third piece of Rachel Ray's. I love this line. Easy to clean, great size, seals tight and best of all it is easy to handle thanks to the ingenious handles.
