Pan is the pect size for lasagna, baked pastas and for crowd cakes. It's a great weight with handles that are so handy. This pan cleans up easily, looks beautiful and has become my favorite baking/roasting tool.
Would be nice if the pan handles were made of non metal that you could grip without burning yourself. But its a good size to cook extra large steaks or fish fillets for a large family.
The reason for my purchase was for high temperature oven cooking. The newest trend in cooking roasts is high temperature cooking at 500 degrees. So far the pan has held up.
