Reviews
"Was glad to find them online with Amazon because the local stores seem to only sell the easy grab dishes which I don't like because only one at a time fits in my oven."
"On the old dish the handles measured from underneath are 3 inches."
"For as long as I can remember in my married life, I've always had one of these versatile baking dishes."
"OMG, FORGET ABOUT METAL PANS - oh, I bought a non-stick metal pan this size which worked a couple of times but the coating wore off and became difficult to clean."
"Although the quality seems consistent with all other Pyrex bakeware I’ve owned, the dimensions are measured differently from what is most likely now called “Vintage.” The older bake dish is 7x11 at the top AND the base."
"It fits into my small electronic counter small oven!"
"Pros: large, durable, high-utility, easy to clean, clear. Cons: the handles are not very robust and can lead to slips while wearing oven mitts. This dish is great for meatloaf, casseroles, etc."
"I have been using Pyrex all my life."

Pyrex 2-Quart Glass Bakeware Dish
There's no substitute for Pyrex, the original glass bakeware. 2-Quart Glass Dish with Glass Lid.
Reviews
"We bought the covered dish for cooking and also to pop popcorn in the microwave--a healthier method than using a plastic popper or coated paper bag."
"I bought this to replace a similar Pyrex dish that I had received as a gift over 30 years ago."
"After extensive online research, I settled on Pyrex, despite the "pay-your-nickel-and-take-your-chances" reviews I had read. Also, don't take it out of the oven or microwave and put it directly on a cool or wet countertop."
"Graduate up from heating foods in plastic containers or old soup bowls; with proper care, this can last a long time and you'll feel like a grown up."
"This old standby has been around for decades, and is still a great addition to any kitchen."
"Works very well."
"The lid does not fit properly so there is a gap that lets air in and out."
"Doesn't sit inside the rim of the bowl."

Best Cake Pop & Mini Cake Makers

Wilton 2105-1620 6 Cavity Nonstick Donut Pans (2 Pack)
Makes 12 Donuts.
Reviews
"This is a review for the Wilton 2105-1620 6 Cavity Nonstick Donut Pans (2 Pack) by Wilton. After filling one of the pans with batter using a spoon (it can be done but it's a bit time consuming when you have salivating guests gathered about), I piped in the batter to the second pan with my pastry bag."
"I use this all of the time and I think I need to invest in a couple more so I can bust out more awesome donuts at a time."
"Here's a photo of what my doughnuts looked like even after I attempted to grease a nonstick pan. I'm sorry Wilton, I love your nonstick pans and I will continue to use them with a generous amount of nonstick spray. But I think you should change the name of the pan to just 6-Cavity Donut Pan because they are not nonstick."
"To ease removing the doughnuts from the baking pans, I used some Wilton Cake Release to ensure the doughnuts slipped out of their nonstick pans. If you put too much batter in the pan, the doughnut holes will fill-in and the doughnuts look more like muffins."
"I ordered 2 of these pans to make doughnuts with my little granddaughters."
"The doughnuts come out skinnier than what you'd typically find in a bakery but that's no big deal, they still look wonderful."
"Donut making is a cinch with these bake your own donuts."
"great quality!!!"

Style Name: Lasagna Pan |. Size: 14-Inch. Ideal for Lasagnas, Casseroles and Au Gratin Potatoes.
Reviews
"This is my second purchase for Cuisinart crepe pan. There are many pics available for this pan on internet. You can not go wrong with this pan."
"I like the size and weight of this skillet. One issue I'm having is that it seems to be slow to heat."
"The lid design is a minor drawback--it performs well for sealing and steaming food but is a bit cumbersome to set it down on the counter when it's hot."
"This is a great non-stick stock pot, but it is smaller than the measurements indicate."
"We love this pan...bought two...BUT after about 2 months the nonstick value is going fast and dosas stick all the time...so we cannot use it."
"The extra handle on the pan helps a lot in manuvering the pan for the weight of the pan to carry and move or pick up. Now, I think because were more use to the handling of the fry pan we really like it."
"She once made a comment that if only she had a thin crepe pan with even heat distribution, she would make crepes more often."
"The glass in the lid broke and the handle on the lid buckled in into the pan. Don't buy this pan, if you buy it don't use the lid. I have solid evidence to what happened to the pan just 20 days after I bought the pan."

Reviews
"The item came packaged correctly and unopened (New in box) but one of the lids had a side piece that was cracked, which means the cover will not stay on correctly."
"As far as 'safety' the lids are plastic, seemingly very high quality as well, but they may melt if you aren't careful."
"I purchased this set because I liked the sizes of the dishes and especially because Pyrex is made here in the USA!"
"One lid didn't fit correctly (the lid for the smaller oblong pan)."
"I use them everyday and they are working well for refrigerator storage warming up in the microwave."
"I purchased these because every metal pan I’ve purchased rusted!"
"We really like being able to pop these in the microwave from the fridge without worrying about plastic."
"Not only have I spent an hour of my life scrubbing out my oven, picking up tiny little glass pieces from parts of my oven that I didn't know about (which I was completely ok with by the way). I have wasted 2 full boxes of scalloped potatoes! I am now off to pick out the tiny little pieces of glass from my hands."

Reviews
"The first covered casserole I received had a bulge on the bottom and would not set flat on the burner. The second casserole I received was perfect! It works wonderfully well as an open or covered skillet as well as it's intended purpose of a casserole. Update: 05/05/2016.......I use this covered casserole all of the time, not only for casseroles, chili, soups, stews, etc., but also for bacon, eggs, sauteed foods, and a myriad of other tasks!"
"Like most cast-iron products it takes a while to heat up."
"It cleans up well and does the job of much more expensive cast products."
"So if you have a regular stove it's a great pan to have."
"I absolutely love this!"
"Purchased this for my husband."
"I love the rich color and quality of this pan."
"This is a heavy braiser but easy to lift from stovetop to oven with the handles as the cast iron is a solid piece."
