7117-135 Chef's Classic Stainless 13-1/2-Inch Lasagna Pan

Comparison of Cuisinart Chef's Classic 13.5" vs. 14" Lasagna Pans: I viewed both, but was unable to discern any differences (other than the obvious 1/2" difference in length). I preferred this slightly more compact size, and it was $28 w/ free 2 day shipping (!), so I ordered this 13.5" pan. It arrived the next day. This 13.5" pan is stunning! Definitely high-shine mirror finish, both inside & out. Pan feels VERY sturdy, but not heavy. No way this pan will flex, bend nor buckle when you fill it to capacity, and maneuver it into/out of oven. It really feels 200% perfect- Sturdy, but light to medium weight- easy to handle and carry. Dimensions (both inside & outside) of pan: Length: 13.5" inside / 14" outside (including the exterior drip ledge of pan), AND 17.25" TOTAL- when measured from outside edges of handle to handle. Width: 9.25" inside / 10" outside (including the exterior drip ledge). Height: 2.5" inside pan (food capacity) / 3" exterior measurement (from countertop to top ledge of pan). So, note that the smallest oven you could possibly use this pan in, must be a MINIMUM of 17 1/2 inches wide, to fit 17.25" exterior width (including handles, which protrude sideways from the pan). Now, here's the ONE major difference between this 13.5" and the similar 14" lasagna pan (other than 1/2" in length): The handles on this 13.5" pan are solid stainless / tubular- Very sturdy, riveted into pan, and with "Cuisinart" engraved into the metal. View the photo closely, you will see the perfectly tubular shaped handles. Alternatively, the 14" pan has the wider, flattened handles which are EXACTLY the same as the rest of the Cuisinart Chef's Classic collection. Other details: 1) "Cuisinart" is subtly imprinted on one side of this pan. 2) Heat Sources- The outer box states that it is oven safe to 550 degrees (F), and that it may be used in oven, under broiler, or on stovetop with Gas, Electric, Glass Ceramic, and/or Halogen heat sources. 3) Seams- This 13.5" pan is seamless. Not so with the 14" pan- Other reviewers have stated that it is seamed, and that there are resultant performance problems with black residue continuously oozing out of the pan, making it impossible to clean, and presumably compromising it's core. 4) Looks- Brilliant! Can be used in oven, on range-top, and/or as serving presentation piece. Indeed it is STUNNING! 5) Price- This 13.5" pan, at the low price of $28/Free ship, is a STEAL of a DEAL! Summary- I have the entire Chef's Classic Stainless cookware collection. While I might have preferred the flatter, exactly matching handles on the 14" pan, my preference for a slightly smaller pan outweighed that concern... And, $28 is plenty to spend on a basic, 100% stainless steel, small lasagna pan! I'm thrilled with this pan! I may even end up using it to display candles, ornaments, serve hors d'oevres in, or just mini-pizza's, loaded nacho's, snacks/etc! It's SO beautiful! I expect it will clean up to perfection, easily, just like the rest of my Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless Steel cookware- Which I've had for over a decade, and it still looks new! BUY THIS WHILE YOU CAN GET IT!

Strong and solid quality, this mirror finish beauty is the perfect size for me (I'm petite); the substantial riveted handles are easy to grasp and slide the pan from the oven racks without much fuss. It is also is a dream to clean in hot sudsy water...I bought it to make my family's favorite, buttery Spanakopita during Thanksgiving weekend and nothing stuck. I know it will make an excellent roasting pan for meat or poultry, or use for my eggplant lasagne, or for any use one can think of. Guess I adore the idea even more because its size does not take up inordinate cabinet space in my challenged kitchen. And what a bargain!!!!!

This is my second one and I admit that I am a Cuisinart Nut to say the least. This is so handy and easy to keep clean and looking like new. All my pots and pans are Cuisinart and I love all of them. I've owned several brands and what I love the most is that Cuisinart is lighter and easier to work with yet cooking is I think even better then the heavy weight of other pans. This is a huge plus for my arthritis and fibromyalgia issues. I love to cook and have purchased 2 sets of the Cuisinart Copper/SS pans for myself. I gave away all my other expensive pans then purchase 3 full sets of Cusinart 16 pice pan sets for my 2 nieces and 1 step daughter. All 4 of us women love our Cuisinart products.

Classic Lasagna Pan. Right size. Right composition to heat evenly and melt those cheeses and sauces up into a gourmet delight. I bought this pan strictly for making lasagna (and Heaven help anyone in my household I catch using it for any other purpose) because my Mama always swore that Cuisinart made the best lasagna pans outside of Italy and after using it I'd say listen to your Mama! The number two reason I settled on it was the fact that there is room to top the pan with non-stick aluminum foil (a godsend here) and seal it all the way round. Yep there's just enough room even with the handles to do so. Cuisinart has lost a lot of luster in my eyes with their small appliances of late (but haven't they all since every thing on Earth except dirt is made in China now) but when it comes to their line of essential stainless steel cookware I think they're still holding up their end of the bargain even if it is made in China. You won't go wrong with this pan and your Mama's or your Grandmother's recipe...Trust me!

This Cuisinart 13 1/2 inch Lasagne Pan is the very thing for 8-10 servings of Lasagne or any casserole. You can wash it by hand or in the dishwasher, just don't scrub it with abrasive anything.

An excellent pan except for the rivets than hold the handles on. They are made of aluminum and badly corrode if you use acidic foods, which I always make tomato based lasagna. After a few years of use, the the handles fell off! I replaced the aluminum with copper rivets, so it's good now. I just don't understand how Cuisinart could have overlooked this. Another complaint is that the pan does not come with a cover, nor does Cuisinart offer a lid that will fit. I'm tempted to rate the pan to 3 stars, but besides these two complaints, it is a great pan.

The thickness of the stainless steel was a very pleasant surprise. Very good quality with the stainless steel. Also, the handles are nice and thick. The quality seems like it will be a pan that lasts for a very long time. Furthermore, the thickness allows for even heating. Cooks great, looks great.

I have only used this pan once and I liked it very much. Nothing burned and the clean up was very easy. Nothing was too tough to wipe away.

Muy buena para las pastas

Muy buena calidad, bonito, tamaño grande, sin ser inmenso.

I sent it back, because it was not as deep as the description of the pan said it would be. I was looking for a deep pan for Lasagna.
