I bought this to replace my regular Pyrex casserole glass pan. With the amount of time and energy that goes into making them I thought they should be presented in a nice dish. It went beyond presentation. The food actually tastes better. It cooked evenly, and the cheese melted and browned perfectly. It gets better. Clean up is a breeze because of the nonstick surface on the inside. Best investment for hard to make casseroles or sticky items.
