Bakers Edge does it again and lasagna is just the beginning!
I was already familiar with Bakers Edge because of their wonderful Nonstick Edge Brownie Pan I purchased last year, so I was anxious to try out the Simple Lasagna Pan. In fact it was less than 6 hours from delivery from Amazon to delicious lasagna being served on my dinner table.
My first step was to read the care & use guide, along with the recipes that were listed. Although I have my own recipe for lasagna, I knew that I might have to adjust it based on this pan. The only thing that surprised me was the use of uncooked noodles. I have used Barilla’s “No-Bake” noodles before, but this required regular uncooked noodles. Otherwise the recipe suggestions were very close to my own.
After I had my sauce ready, I began assembling my lasagna. The pan allows for 3 layers of noodles, sauce and whichever cheeses you use. Once…
How did KitchenAid and All-Clad miss the boat?
I bought this company’s first product (the Edge Brownie Pan) about a year ago. We absolutely love it (I use it weekly), but the 9″ x 12″ x 2″ size sort of limits its usefulness to brownies, bar cookies, rice krispy treats, and similar desserts. When I discovered this new pan in a gourmet catalog a few weeks ago, I bought it entirely on impulse — simply because it’s much larger in size. After a week of use, I’m a little surprised that Baker’s Edge didn’t introduce THIS pan first. The zig-zag design is so perfectly suited to lasagna, it makes you wonder why the biggest brands in bakeware continue to make plain rectangular pans. Creamette and Barilla box noodles fit like a glove, and the pan’s partitions keep those slithery layers and noodles together when you’re plating. (Genius.) It’s a heavy pan, so get a good grip on it when cleaning. And be sure to use the spatula that comes with it… the shape is a little odd-looking, but once you use it the unconventional design makes perfect…
Where has this pan been all my life??
My husband and kids are ravenous lasagna eaters, and they insist that I make it with a lot of sauce. If you’ve ever made it the same way, you surely know that saucy lasagnas are horribly messy and almost impossible to serve without falling completely apart. With no real way to solve the problem, I’ve always served my lasgnas with two utensils: a wide spatula, and a big serving spoon to scoop up what didn’t survive the precarious journey from baking dish to dinner plate. I bought this pan entirely out of curiosity (desperation?), and I’m blown away by how well it works. The inside walls keep all of those soupy layers neatly in place, and they do a fantastic job of cooking the middle more evenly. It’s tough to get the first serving out, but I guess the same is true for any other pan. I do have a fondness for the polish and shine of those stainless steel bakers from All-Clad (which, gulp, cost twice as much), but the unique design of this pan is pure genius, and it does feel substantial…
