Bunzlauer Polish Pottery 2-Quart Rectangular Baker, DU60 Design



Arrived Broken
Very disappointed with amazon. The item's very beautiful but I received it in pieces.. I wish they could have packaged the item properly and not in a big box with a lot of space and not enough protective layer. I ordered this with a number of Bunzlauer Polish pottery all of which are broken when it arrived :-(

perfect potluck dish
I made my signature hot dip recipe for a potluck and everyone commented on the beautiful dish. What a showstopper!

Instantly addicted to Bunzlauer...
This just arrived and far exceeded my expectations. Without mentioning names, lately I've been gravely disappointed with the ceramic/stoneware that I've seen in places where higher quality would be the norm. Amazon comes through again (not surprisingly) with this heirloom piece that I will be able to use forever--unless I purposely break it. For the record, it was only packed in bubble wrap and rolled around the large Amazon box as I accepted it from the carrier--this worried me. Alas, whomever packed this must know how sturdy it is. I'm usually one to buy Le Creuset (whose quality has only dropped marginally since its inception) and bought the Polish "rectangular baker" on impulse. Though there are no reviews, the item was listed as low inventory--which I consider to be a silently positive review of an item...

Needless to say: presently I will be looking for more Bunzlauer. For anyone with even a vague sense of aesthetic will find themselves feeling exulted by the...

Pyrex 4-Piece Oblong Portables Set, Turquoise



Microcore pack
The Pyrex dish is great, but you have to be careful not to over heat the Microcore pack. I've recently found that repalcement packs can be purchased from Vesture Corporation
120 E. Pritchard Street
Asheboro, NC 27203
800-462-4201

faulty inserts
This product is a great idea and would be wonderful. However, I have to versions and both of the thermal inserts that you heat in the microwave have exploded. Also, I have been unable to find replacements.

pyrex
great to take to gatherings and a name you can trust

Spode Baking Days Black Rectangular Handled Bake and Serve Dish



Love the Quality and the Look!
Honestly, I bought this dish because I love black & white and I love polka dots. But I have been so pleased with its performance. It's the heaviest, nicest large baking dish I have owned in terms of even heat, holding heat, and presentation.

Adorable
Love this dish. Was a gift for a wedding shower and a huge hit. Great quality. Adorable spots and great weight to dish. Nice size. I would buy more. Worth the price.

CorningWare French White 15-Ounce Oval Dish



15-Ounce Oval Dish
Have to be careful when microwaving. Lid pops off and creates spills, if left sealed. If not liquids still seap out over the edge and spill.

It's not what you think of when you say "Corningware," it's only stoneware.
The original "French White" Corningware was made of Corning's famous pyroceramic glass, which could be used on the gas stove, put directly in the freezer, put under the broiler right from the freezer, and oh yes, also used in a microwave. And it was very unlikely to shatter if dropped. If you pounded on it with a hammer and nail you might have gotten it to break. Most people are thinking of this stuff when they say the word "Corningware."

Back in the 90s when World Kitchens bought the license from Corning, they decided to halt production of a line of cookware that would take anything and last forever, and dupe customers, especially brides, into thinking the stoneware "French White" was the same thing as the wonderful French White pyroceramic cookware previously available to their mothers and sisters.

The pattern is very attractive and can be used with any decor, and they do offer many sizes, but this stuff is not, repeat, really not, what people mean when they...

Corningware
I love it. It's perfect for taking food to work and it cleans up so easily. [qrq0t[ ertw er9tuq w[er9u t[wq0ertu[wpywretouwreu[erotpreyee

Wilton Armetale William and Mary 2-Quart Baking Dish, Rectangular, 14-1/4-Inch by 10-1/2-Inch



Outdated photo and description - actual product is fine!
I can see why the other reviewers were disappointed as the picture and description here clearly show a pyrex insert. However, on the Wilton Armetale website, this is not there. And when I bought mine at BB&B, there was no insert either. The baker is meant to be used as is and works great! Like with a pyrex, you must of course grease the pan but that is it. I love that I can put my recipe directly into this, bake in the over, and then serve. No need to transfer to a nicer looking serving dish and dirty two items. I also like that it holds heat well and keeps the dish warm for seconds (conversely, for cold dishes it keeps them chilled when put into fridge). I have several of these pieces and love them all!

DO NOT BUY-NO PYREX GLASS!!!
I can not rate the actual Wilton metal baker because I haven't used it yet but you may want to pick another item to purchase. The Pyrex glass insert does not come included in the box. I received my first one with no Pyrex insert, returned it and waited for the replacement just to receive another Wilton baker with no glass insert! It has been a hassle and Amazon said this is a widespread problem. It still hasn't been resolved and it's been a month!! I don't see why the glass insert can't just be shipped out alone!

...missing the Pyrex dish
I'm really glad that it occurred to the customer from Delaware to warn other people that the Pyrex dish is missing, because it is really frustrating and disappointing, and I'd hate to see it continue to happen to other folks. My experience was pretty much identical to theirs, and they are right - it's no good to bake in without the glass dish (and that's a lot of money for something that looks good but you can't use!) After the second shipment arrived with no dish, I went out and got my own because I really like the metal baker and was determined to make it work. I've contacted Amazon.com several times to let them know the problem, but it's been nearly two months and no resolution. They only offer to take it as a return, but as I keep telling them, I don't want to return it, and especially not now that I've gone out and gotten the Pyrex dish! Mostly I just don't want to see it continue to happen to other people, so do be warned. Thanks, Delaware, for the heads-up.

Housewares International Porcelain Dream Serveware Collection 9-Inch Oval Baking and Serving Dish with Porcelain Handles and Lid, White



Arrived broken, probably would have been too small
This arrived already broken in several places. I thought about requesting a replacement, but when I looked at the item in the box, I decided it was probably smaller than what I wanted anyway, so I just returned it and got my money back. I guess Amazon needs to find a better way to ship it.

Chantal Talavera 3-1/2-Quart Rectangular Baker, Apple Red



Great color and size
This compliments my Mexican talavera collection; like the shape and size as well as the color. Wish there was a smaller size in the same shape.

Thanksgiving gift.
The recipient of the Chantal Talavera baker had previously owned one, which broke. She was thrilled to get a new one.
