All-Clad 11644911256 Gourmet Accessories Square Baker with Lid, Stainless Steel, Silver

All-clad products are always “reassuringly expensive” and this small roasting tin / lasagne tin with a plastic lid is no exception. As is often the case, you wonder how the price is justified until you handle and use the item! Immediately on unpacking you’re struck by its weight and sturdiness. The spacey, easily gripped handles are clearly designed with real cooks and cooking scenarios in mind. This is just steel rather than tri-ply ( with a layer of aluminium sandwiched between two layers of steel ) or d5 ( two aluminium layers between steel x3 ) or copper core etc, but even so it’s a quality item that’ll serve for years as a constantly used ‘workhorse’ item. Some reviewers have found the plastic lid awkward. It did take me a moment to get used to it but it’s a doddle and it clips securely and opens easily. The lid is not heat proof so can’t be used either in the oven or placed on the pan while it’s hot. Nevertheless I’m delighted with it. It’s size ( 8” / c.20cm square ) is actually very useful for everything from lasagnes and pies to hot deserts, brownies and granola bars etc. Expensive? Yes - but cheap kitchenware is a classic false economy. It’ll give you a lifetime of quality service in the kitchen. A definite thumbs up from me.

It’s what I’ve waited for a roaster with a lid oven to table to fridge perfect

Perfect size for layering two pre cooked lasagna sheets side by side.As shown in the second photo there is barely anything stuck to the bottom. I did brush butter on the bottom and sides before layering.Will be buying another one of these. Perfect size for two generous portions.Well done All-clad!!
