Has anyone actually made a full recipe lasagna using this pan? Nine noodles or twelve? What temperature did you use? Did cheeses melt properly?

I made my own noodles so it was different from store bought. Cheese melted fine. I baked at 350. Love the pan

I don't remember how many noodles I used, but it made a full batch. It heats wonderfully (I baked mine at 350 F), and if you spray it with cooking spray before loading it, it releases beautifully. The whole thing cooked evenly, the cheese melted great and cleanup was easy. I highly recommend these. I have three of them, and they're the first things I reach for when doing casseroles.

I make lasagna in this pan all the time. I typically fit four noodles per layer and have room for three layers. Bake it at 375 for about 45 minutes to an hour (with uncooked noodles). Comes out great every time. And the pan is insanely easy to clean, which was a huge bonus because I have had some bad experiences with stuck on tomato sauce.

I have! 9 noodles, everything cooked the same as I always do lasagne. I believe I cooked it on 350*. Just cover with foil for majority of cook time. Turned out great!

Yes my sister and I made pierogi with pasta roller we rolled the dough to one setting prior to too thin so we could roll out and make slightly larger or regular sized ones. The first time we over rolled the dough and had small one. Good luck you should enjoy this because it did lessen the time to make them. We make potato and cheese what type do you make?

I would never store the lasagna in this. Pan is made for heat, not cold. Remove from pan and put in a sealed container. I use microwavable containers so I can heat and eat! With the spatula that comes with this pan, transferring the lasagna from this to another container is so easy!!

I use foil to cover the top and bottom to make clean-up easier. Cleaning is the hardest part. Panini's leak depending on their ingredients. If you shredded cheese out to the edges, it will melt or caramelize and seal. Too much cheese; and the cheese will run out, too.

Didn't you read the manual? I've made lasagna in this size crock. Comes out yummy.plenty for four people.

I wondered the same thing. The food is all kept safe with preservatives and packets that keep oxygen out. Make sure your product isn't out of date. You don't add water. The lasagna is in a box that holds a plastic tray with plastic wrap...same as you'd find in a refrigerated meal. You just vent the film and microwave. The pizza comes with the cheese in it's own packet, the sauce in it's own packet, and the bread in it's own. You have to build it and then mircowave with. Both are really good.

They call it that because it is the right size for lasagna and they have two others at least called roasting pans. I have seen this same pan used for roasting on the Food Network show The Kitchen. I fully intend to buy a rack for it and use it for roasting. All Clad is top quality so no problem there!

Take a look at the video on the Westinghouse site. I think it showed putting the pasta and water in at the same time which seems unusual. Then additional ingredients like brocolli and carrots were added so the end result was a complete dish.

Did you wait enough time before taking off the lid 'carefully'...all recipe's stress this. I have the 9 and 13 inch pans...this was the BEST recipe I've found, it is for the 13", but the fewer 'specialty' ingredients seem to work better...I searched and cannot find the site, but for the large pan 4 3/4 AP, 1 2/3 water, yeast, 1 Tbl salt, 1 Tbl sugar 1/2 stick butter...that's it...rise in bowl, put in pan cover with wrap till 1/2 inch from top, cover and bake 25 mins 350...carefully remove top..another 20 mins or so (some say check internal temp)..forget the milk, eggs and other stuff...hope it helps

I've used it over my BBQ and measured the temp with my infrared thermometer at 900 degrees. The pan suffered no damage whatsoever, but the pizza was toast :-D. I've also preheated it in a 550 degree oven and got the pan to reach over 600 degrees dozens of times. No issues of any kind. I've since moved on to 1/2" thick A36 steel for baking pizzas just to get more thermal mass and heat transfer, but cast iron does fine if you know how to work with it.

I reheated leftover Kraft mac and cheese yesterday--I added a bit of water (1-2 Tbs) and an extra slice of cheese on top, and it came out perfectly. There was a little bit of brown and crispy but that was tasty--I was more worried about it drying out or becoming mushy. The pasta texture was fine.

I use it at 400 degrees with a thin crust. I have a Viking , which I find runs a bit high. Always put a sheet of aluminum foil under perforated pan....cheese can drip over sides on to your stove, if you over load! I have two of these pans and would buy them again...nothing sticks to them, very easy clean up.

You would have to cut the noodles since the pan is thinner. They also make a lasagna pan.

Never used the no boil noodles. I use Barilla lasagna noodles, uncooked, and follow the recipe for quick and delicious lasagna that came with my pan. Actually my son puts it together and it is his specialty, lol. He's 14 now, but started making it when he was 11.

The included recipe book has an entry for ultimate lasagna which I use constantly. It calls for noodles that have been softened by warm water for ten minutes the pan cooks them perfectly, no boiling required. It was a great buy! Love this pan.

I bought this as a gift for my daughter who was always complaining about not having a big enough pan for lasagna. I asked her about temperature and she has only had it up to 350 degrees. Most pans can go up to 450 degrees and I assume as good a pan as this one, it can do the same. As for using it in a broiler, I have no idea. Hope this helps.

I break my instant noodles into 4 pieces. Then thow them in, add a bottle of water and nuke it for 2:30mins at high, bring it out, mix the noddles around and put it back in for another 2 mins without lid this time (or else it gets bubbles raising). I love it, it's great for soup, it won't spill
