A lasagna pan is a rectangular, deep baking dish specifically designed for preparing layered dishes like lasagna. Typically made from materials such as stainless steel, ceramic, glass, or non-stick coated metal, the pans high sides allow for multiple layers of ingredients, such as pasta, sauce, and cheese. The pan's sturdy construction ensures even heat distribution for thorough baking, while its ample size can accommodate family-sized portions. Some lasagna pans feature handles for easy transport from the oven to the table. This versatile dish can also be used for casseroles, roasting, and other baked meals, making it a kitchen essential.
