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."

"It is a little larger than I thought...will look for a smaller type gel pack."
"Was happy to get another of these hot packs."
"When, after 20 years, the original pad just started behaving badly, blowing up like a balloon in the microwave, I didn't think I could replace it."
"I'm leary of the new pyrex inserts that can be used hot or cold. I bought this one instead of the pyrex brand because it was a little cheaper than the pyrex ones, too. My husband put one of my original pyrex hot packs in the freezer."
"Used this in conjunction with a "Lasagna Lugger"."
"We used them in the bottom of a cooler to keep corn on the cob warm, and honestly, they were hot to the touch for hours."

"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."

"I wouldn't use them to bake mini quiche-lorraine because they are not that deep, but I would definitively put already baked mini-quiche lorraine in it because these plates are really nice and can be used as presentation plates for individual mini breads or mini pies, or individual portions of cheese, etc...."
"The casserole was baked at 50 degrees, the eggs at broiler temp."
"The dishes are not as nice as the ones that cost $20 a piece but for as often as they are used, they look/work perfectly fine for the price."

"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."

"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."
