Get the Cheese Ready—These Are the Best Lasagna Pans for Layers of Comfort

Top Pick

Pyrex Deep Baking Dish with Lid

$30 at Amazon $17 at Walmart $43 $30 at Macys

We love this glass lasagna dish so much that we tested it on two separate occasions—once with Allstar Kim Shupe and again with Allstar Amanda Scarlati—and it excelled both times. Glass is an excellent option for lasagna because it allows you to monitor cooking and makes cleanup more manageable. Top it with the included Pyrex lid to save leftovers in the refrigerator or take the entire pan to a family potluck. (Hint: it will fit perfectly in one of our favorite casserole carriers.) 

In tests, Allstar Kim praised this glass Pyrex for its nearly 4-inch-deep sides, excellent for piling on the lasagna layers without worrying about cheese or sauce bubbling and overflowing in the oven. Despite the size, it still felt balanced even when filled. She also tested it with cinnamon rolls, which came out fluffy and had plenty of room to expand. “If you are someone who regularly makes deep-dish lasagnas or casseroles, or wants super tall cinnamon rolls, then this pan is for you,” she says.

Allstar Amanda appreciated the large capacity and durable material—although she found the handles to be on the smaller side. However, the attractive glass design makes it easy to use as a serving dish, and it also won’t stain or retain odors from your food. Both Allstars found this dish to be extremely easy to clean both by hand and in the dishwasher—always a plus when it comes to baked-on or extra-crispy lasagna cheese.

Note that this glass lasagna pan is made using tempered glass rather than borosilicate glass, so it can’t handle drastic shifts in temperature. It’s still plenty durable, but we still suggest allowing the glass to warm to room temperature before placing it into your preheated oven, just to be safe.

Best Large

USA Pan Roasting and Lasagna Pan With Lid

$41 at Amazon $60 at Macys

If you have a big family or simply want to make enough lasagna for leftovers, this large lasagna pan will help get you there. While most lasagna pans fall within the 9x13 range, this one is just over 10 inches wide, 16 inches long, and 3 inches deep. Even better, it comes with a generously sized lid with some extra height to it, so you won’t accidentally ruin your lasagna’s cheesy top layer. The corrugated surface and nonstick coating allow for even air circulation during cooking, and they easily release your pasta once it is ready to eat. 

Allstar Amanda is no stranger to the USA Pan brand and already had several different sizes in her kitchen before testing this one. After making two kinds of baked pasta, a batch of glazed meatballs, and a package of bacon in this pan, she reported that it was just as easy to clean as the others, thanks to the durable nonstick coating. “They are not dishwasher-safe, but the coating they put on the metal makes them super easy to clean up, even if there are burnt edges or cheese,” she says.

It cooked food evenly and produced a crispy edge all around. “The metal design and crisp corners allow for not only crisp edges on top but also crisp edges and good crust on the bottom,” she says. “Nothing burned or got too brown, and it held up well under the broiler.” Since the handles are a bit smaller than others and the metal material is slick, she suggests using a kitchen towel or oven mitts with extra grip.

Most Versatile

Chicago Metallic Professional Lasagna Trio Pan

$23 $20 at Amazon $38 at Walmart $17 at Wayfair

“This is a super fun and innovative way of baking lasagna,” says Allstar Terri McHugh. “The dish allows for three separate trays of four to five layers of lasagna.” This way, you can divide your lasagna rows according to allergies or ingredient preferences (such as vegan lasagna) or even bake three different recipes all at the same time. The sections are designed to accommodate the size and shape of a standard lasagna noodle, so you won’t have to spend time cutting them to fit. You could also use it to make bread or meatloaf.  

Despite the low price, this unique lasagna pan performs well in the oven and has a durable, heavy-duty construction. The nonstick coating helps food slide out effortlessly and makes it easier to clean.

In tests, the noodles fit perfectly in the pan, though Terri struggled a bit to find a spatula that was thin enough to cut and serve from the narrow sections. The lasagna came out evenly cooked, and the cheese browned beautifully even when covered with foil. Although the manufacturers recommend hand-washing this pan, Terri did run it through the dishwasher during testing and reported no issues. 

The Details: Alloy steel; 12 x 16 x 3 inches; oven safe up to 450°F; dishwasher-safe, hand-wash recommended

Best Splurge

Le Creuset Heritage Deep Rectangular Lasagna Dish

$115 at Williams Sonoma

Maybe it’s the porcelain enamel glaze finish or the vintage stoneware design, but there’s something nostalgic about this Le Creuset lasagna pan. We love the color selection that ranges from dusty rose Shallot to deep teal Agave, all of which are beautiful enough to serve directly from the oven. It’s designed for lasagna, but it would work equally as well for other pasta dishes, casseroles, and baked fruit cobblers.

Terri was a fan of this dish’s stylish aesthetic but noted that the weight made it more difficult to carry than others, especially once it was full of noodles. However, the wide, curved handles help with grip. “It's definitely on the larger side, so you can feed a large group with this one,” she says. “It cooks everything evenly!”

The dish produced a delicious-looking lasagna with a beautifully browned top, and it was easy to clean in the dishwasher. Like most Le Creuset products, this is on the pricier side but worth the investment. 

The Details: Stoneware with enamel glaze finish; 13.5 x 9.25  x 3.25 inches; oven-safe up to 500°F; dishwasher-safe

Best Stainless Steel

All-Clad Stainless Steel Lasagna Pan

$96 at Amazon $100 at Williams Sonoma $100 at All-clad.com

All-Clad makes a lot of our favorite cookware, and this lasagna pan is no exception. It’s slightly bigger than most of the other pans on our list—but we’re certainly not going to complain about an extra-large lasagna. What’s more, the added size also means you can use it for more than just pasta. 

The cutout handles make this pan easier to maneuver—but keep in mind that they do get quite hot and retain heat after coming out of the oven. It’s made using 18/10 heavy-gauge stainless steel, which is ideal for even heating and added durability. The hefty plastic lid is a bonus that allows you to travel with the pan and store leftovers in the fridge.

Allstar Terri loved the versatility of this All-Clad lasagna pan during tests—it worked just as well for four-layer lasagna as it did for sides like Brussels sprouts. The sturdy material performed well under the broiler, and everything cooked evenly in the oven. When it came to cleaning, a few minutes of soaking helped loosen any stuck food, and the rest washed up nicely in the dishwasher. “It looked just as great as when I took it out of the box,” she says. “Super convenient to clean!”

The Details: Stainless steel with plastic lid; 12 x 15 x 2.75 inches; oven-safe up to 600°F; dishwasher-safe
