Mrs Anderson Baking Dish
No More Toiling When You’re Broiling
Many home cooks use glass and metal baking dishes interchangeably in their cooking. But if you’ve ever used these dishes to broil food, then you probably remember things not “panning out” as you expected. The likely culprit? Your pan. Metal and glass baking dishes can’t withstand the direct high heat of your broiler, causing them to warp or break when exposed to the broiler’s high temperature. However, broiler-safe baking dishes can bear the direct high heat of the broiler and give you the ability to cook, melt, brown, crisp, and caramelize foods safely and quickly. This is often referred to as “broiler bliss” amongst die-hard broiler fans. Fun, right?
Mrs. Anderson's Baking Lasagna Pan with Handle
WINNER - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
This dish had looped handles that were easy to grab, whether we were rotating the dish halfway through baking or removing it from the oven. We also thought it had the best capacity in the lineup at 14.25 cups—neither too generous nor too restrictive. Our winner accommodated all foods with ease and felt secure to grip even when full of hot, heavy food.
We maintain strict objectivity in all testing.*

How We Tested Broiler-Safe Baking Dishes
We purchased seven broiler-safe baking dishes, priced from about $37 to about $110. We used each to make a cake (using our winning boxed yellow cake mix), Classic Macaroni and Cheese, and One-Pan Salmon with Rice, Broccoli, and Shiitake Mushrooms. After baking the cakes, we used a paring knife to slice the desserts in the dish, cutting them into 24 squares (4 rows of 6) and checked for scratches. We used a metal spatula to portion and remove the other two foods from the dishes, also checking for scratches. We used oven mitts when placing the dishes in and removing them from the oven while baking cakes, and we used dish towels to place the dishes in and remove them from the oven when making Classic Macaroni and Cheese and One-Pan Salmon with Rice, Broccoli, and Shiitake Mushrooms. We also washed each dish five times according to manufacturer instructions (all were dishwasher-safe).
