Best pan out there at this price point and design. Yes, it's a cake pan. A nice one. Also good for various casseroles, enchiladas, burritos, lasagna, baked spaghetti, chili-mac, veggies, and many other gustatory monstrosities and gastronomical delights. Packs up well too for a pot luck. Comes in handy for storing leftovers too, easily reheated. Versatile pan, for sure. Easy peasy clean up. All stainless, including the lid. Cooks evenly, no hot spots. Fits in a Breville 900 and Breville 800. Lid is tight when hot, this is a good thing. A bit of a trick to remove the lid when hot from the oven. Best to let it sit a few minutes. I use silicon gloves, heel of hand on top with a very slight downward pressue and gently pull up on the lid's handle with fingers. Hold the opposite end with the other hand, or turn it lengthwise using hip instead as leverage pulling it gently into hip while lifting the lid handle. Dont force it, let it stand a few minutes more if necessary. The lid is more easily removed by letting it stand and rest for about 10 to 20 minutes out of the oven beforehand. May want to adjust cooking time, depending on whats cooking. It's hot, and fairly well sealed, so whats in there will continue cooking while the temperature ramps down while standing. I liked this pan so much I purchased another, and may get one more.

The stainless steel is noticeably higher quality than another (cheaper) stainless pan I tried. The finish is almost mirror and very smooth, and the material is thick. It's been in the oven and dishwasher a couple times, and there is no rusting or other tarnishing to speak of. The top is a bit difficult to get on, but it's snug once on there. For me, this pan is worth the extra cost compared to some bad experiences with cheaper stainless ones.

Excellent 13x9 stainless steel pan. Easy to use, the lid snaps on so is secure if transporting the pan somewhere. Good weight stainless steel, bakes things nicely, cleans up nicely, too.

This isn't the cheapest stainless steel pan, but it is a nice one. Solid, real stainless steel with a super-smooth, easy to clean, mirror finish, and a nice, simple design. Even after 5 months of fairly regular use (several times a week). it looks almost new asides from some minor scratches - still shiny and polished so smooth that food can barely stick. I saw some bad reviews that stated it isn't good as a cake pan because the bottom is indented. This is true - the bottom is indented about 1/8 inch, but I don't see how this would affect its use at all. I believe that this is an intentional design so that it always sits flat even when the metal expands or contracts with temperature changes, and doesn't affect its function in any way. I use it mostly for casseroles, but have also done several cakes in it and it works very well. The only negative that I have noticed is that the lid can sometimes be hard to remove.

So far I've used this for brownies and for chicken. It worked just fine for both. I like that it's stainless and not aluminum for health as well as for the fact that it looks so much nicer than aluminum and it's much more sturdy. The lid fits nicely. Some complained that the bottom is not even, it is a little higher in the center. I noticed this too but I believe that's to provide for more even baking. As I said, I have made brownies in it, more than once and no one noticed if some of them were thinner. I honestly could not tell that some were different when they were out of the pan and on a plate. There's not that much of a difference in the finished product.

This is a good pan. I hesitated to purchase because of the price. Seems quite high to me. Thus 4 stars. However, this pan is well made and, unless I abuse it or run over it with a car, it should last many years. I wanted a replacement for my old, steel, peeling non-stick, covered pan. I wanted a pan that would last, didn't have a non-stick coating, was non-reactive, was deep enough for hefty cakes/casseroles/lasagna, wouldn't rust, and had a metal lid (strong and wouldn't melt) for stacking, storage, and transport. This SS pan fits the bill. I also have covered pans made of aluminum, which are much less expensive, but are not good for acid foods and are not as resistant to damage from use. Of course, I'll need to grease (and flour) it for most recipes. But I do that most of the time anyway, even with non-stick, often due to a poor or failing coating. And, there will be no non-stick flakes in the final dish with this pan. Finally, the lid fits well.

I had this in my cart for a few weeks trying to decide if I wanted to spend the money or not. We're trying to cut back on baking and cooking with aluminum foil and I've been searching for a pan for years. One pan that will let me do cakes, casseroles, chicken, and lasagna. It's been hard to find anything that comes close to fitting those requirements. And this is a lot of money for a pan that I am not able to see first. I finally just did it. I am so glad I did! I have no actually used this for cakes. I probably wouldn't. I have a pyrex for that. I have baked chicken casseroles, just chicken, rice, veggies, and finally lasagna. I was worried about the bump in the bottom. Like other reviews say, there is a bump in the bottom. It looks and feels like "Oh man....that's going to be an issue" but when you're actually putting food in the pan, it's not that big of a difference. My lasagna came out BEAUTIFUL! The lid fits perfectly and tight, but not super tight. It fits about as tight as foil would fit. I don't have any issues removing the lid. It's easy to remove and easy to put on. Things I would change? I wish It had handles. I would also love it if it were about 1 inch bigger in every direction! My regular oven mitts slip on this so it's not very safe without handles. Easy fix? I bought silicone oven mitts. Now I can grip that and other things. Problem solved. Admittedly I am bummed that I can't find anything bigger. But, while this isn't perfect, I use it at least 3 times a week. It cleans like a dream, cooks evenly, the lid fits tight, and you can use the lid as a cookie sheet by itself! If you have a small kitchen and can only get one pan, skip the pyrex collection. Just get this. We got rid of almost all our pyrex and haven't looked back.

I usually never review anything and if i do it's usually to tell people it was a bad purchase. This pan on the other hand was a excellent purchase. Just made a pumpkin bread/ cake mix and it's great quality and very thick. The lid was a really great thing to have for saving cake several days without it drying out.

Best pan I've ever had.

This pan meets so many needs in the kitchen. I recommend

Good quality, very satisfied.
