Glass Baking Dish with Lid - Large Oval Shaped Casserole - 3 Qt with Ridges

First , I have several different pieces of Simax , each of which I use frequently . When this one arrived , I promptly washed it and put it to use that day . I first made enchiladas , hot sausages the next day , and lasagna the following day . I usually rub the thinnest possible film of olive oil ( not necessarily the expensive EVOO ) on the interior , and clean - up is then comparable to a non - stick surface . Second , note that Simax is true borosilicate ( special heat - resistant ) glass ; I don't know of any other readily available glass cookware that is so composed . [ note that even if one buys a name - brand cookware that suggests that it is made of the same material as lab glassware , one is still getting ordinary flint glass with tempering to give some heat resistance . ] This is one of the pieces that has raised ridges on the bottom , and " Bubble " - like structures on the lid. This allows evaporating juices to rise to the top , condense , and baste or moisturize the cooking food . One has to check the individual item descriptions - some Simax has a plain surface on bottom and lid . I have some very large pieces that I use for ham , turkey , roasts , etc. This is an ideal size for everyday use , as I often cook only for the two of us . I hesitated when rating its suitability as a gift ; basically because I consider it "too good to give away" . However , if you know someone who is an avid cook , and will appreciate this , don't be selfish .

Thick design makes it sturdy. The clear glass allows you to view whatever you're cooking. I use it in the microwave mostly but, would be great for the oven. Well worth the money. Only wish it were an inch deeper and another 1/2 Qt larger. Hint, Hint.

Excellent Product facilitates my needs.

I’ve always wanted a glass container with a lid that I can use for cooking in the microwave, and this product is perfect. I used it to make vegetables and steamed fish on the very first day I received it. It’s so convenient. Highly recommended. The quality is excellent and the glass is thick and sturdy.

The borosilicate glass is thick and durable, and the baking serving dish is attractive.

A very serviceable casserole unit for the oven or microwave.. It is spacious, easy to clean and has no issues in transfer between services.

its nice and use it in 350 to 450 in the oven no problems

This is by far one of the best baking dishes that I own. I use it almost every day and have had zero issues. Highly recommend!!
