Cuisinart 14" Stainless Steel Lasagna Pan with Roasting Rack — 14.2x9.6" Encapsulated Base, Oven-to-Table

This lasagna pan from Cuisinart's Chef's Classic collection combines a polished stainless exterior with an aluminum-encapsulated base to deliver consistent heat distribution for layered casseroles, baked pastas, and roasting tasks. It offers riveted stainless side handles for a secure grip and includes a removable stainless roasting rack so the pan doubles as a roaster. The non-reactive stainless interior preserves food flavors while the elegant finish makes the pan suitable for serving right from the oven to the table.

How does this pan ensure even cooking for lasagna and casseroles?

The pan’s aluminum-encapsulated base spreads heat quickly across the bottom to minimize hot spots and encourage even baking throughout multiple layers. The mirror-polished stainless sides and interior help retain heat, so fillings cook consistently from edge to center.

• Aluminum-encapsulated base for uniform heat distribution
• Generous 14.2 x 9.6 x 2.8 inch usable interior for multi-layer dishes
• Mirror-polished stainless reflects heat and supports steady oven temperatures

What features make handling and cleaning simple?

Riveted, comfort-grip stainless side handles provide a secure hold when transferring the pan into and out of the oven, even with oven mitts. When cooking is finished, the pan is dishwasher-safe to simplify cleanup after meals and gatherings.

• Solid, riveted stainless handles for stable lifting and carrying
• Handles designed to stay cool on stovetop use where applicable
• Dishwasher-safe construction for fast cleanup

Can I use this pan for roasting and serving, or only for lasagna?

The included stainless roasting rack converts the lasagna pan into a versatile roaster suitable for vegetables, poultry, or hams that benefit from elevation and airflow. The pan’s polished exterior also makes it attractive for direct oven-to-table presentation at buffets or family dinners.

• Stainless roasting rack lifts foods for even browning and air circulation
• Large overall dimensions (including handles): 17.8 x 10.2 x 3.2 inches for oven compatibility
• Polished exterior doubles as an elegant serving piece
