I was skeptical. I shouldn't have been!
This is something that's surprisingly difficult to find: a well-made, attractive, heavy STONEWARE baking dish with a matching cover. It is beautifully crafted (yes, it's made in China—but remember that China essentially invented high-quality porcelain and glazed stoneware while Europe and the mid-East were still cooking in crude clay pots over smoky fires). The glaze on the piece I received is excellent and uniform. It is, in short, a terrific addition to my kitchen and table. It's also very attractive visually, with interesting lines and textures.One of the most compelling features is that it has a perfectly-fitted lid. While I haven't experimented with it much, I suspect the lid fits tightly enough to help with basting whatever is cooking inside the baker.Cleanup is a breeze. First time out of the box I managed to come close to burning some sauce onto the baker. I let it cool completely. Then I used a plastic scrubber and some warm water, and the potential problem washed away immediately. The whole thing went into the dishwasher and it looked brand new when it came out.I'd buy this thing again in a heartbeat, and, in fact, I ordered some more pieces in the same line.I hope you'll like yours as much as I like mine. This is CLASSY stoneware!! And, for some things, there's nothing better than stoneware for even cooking. I smell some lasagna around the corner...

Nicely made baking dish
I love this stone baking dish, first it is very heavy well made, love the brownish color and it bakes nicely It use to take me 45 min to make a cornbread with this dish it only take 30 min, bakes well and your food comes out delicious with a nice brown on top. The dish is deep enough for a casserole, or lasagna.

Perfect for lasagna
I bought this specifically for making a lasagna recipe I found. The pictures submitted were in a pyrex dish and they all were overflowing. I decided it was time to find a deep dish casserole specifically for lasagna and I found this. It was perfect. The dish came out wonderful and not a single bit of it overflowed because it's deep enough to contain it all. It was easy to clean and it's white as it was when I bought it. Great buy!

Very Deep!
It's beautiful and deep! It's hard to picture just how deep this casserole dish is in the pictures on Amazon, so I tried to demonstrate its depth with my hand in these pictures. My traditional casserole dishes just aren't deep enough for my lasagna. I'm excited to make it in this!It came packed very securely in Styrofoam, so no worries about breakage in shipping.

Great dish!
Large. Tight fitting lid. Sturdy. Attractive.Since CorningWare got bought out and went straight to hell, this is the best stoneware dish on the market.

This thing weighs a ton
OK, so this item is described as 'ceramic', and I'm sure that's what it is--on the outside. But when I pick it up, I'd swear that it's cast iron with a ceramic coating. Maybe l failed to read the description well enough; I'm going back to check after I finish this review.But it's very good-looking and will be a great casserole baker. I'm not sorry I made the choice, even if I will need some help getting it out of the oven.
