Libbey Baker's Basics Glass Casserole Baking Dish with Cover, 2-quart

These casserole dishes are tough to find in our local stores—especially these larger sizes. I use mine to make stuffed peppers in the oven and a Chex trail mix in the microwave. I like being able to use it in both. It saves space in my cabinets.

The old amber Pyrex casserole developed round edges around the edges of the lid and the dish. I found this 3-qt dish to replace the Pyrex, which works. (Pyrex was 2 qt.)

Great for buffet

Great product. Exactly what I was looking for

Expanding family required a bigger casserole dish and I needed one that could go with me and make my efforts look even better. This covered dish did it, no problem.It cooked evenly, the lid fits well and it was heavy enough to feel sturdy. It fit in the meant to be reused grocery bag the I use to transport my contribution to the potluck. I could not ask for more.

I bought this same Libby casserole dish with the same Libbey product number 55952.It is 3.2 quarts, not 32 quarts. 3 liters in metric. 32 quarts would be enormous; just picture 8 gallons full versus 3/4 of 1 gallon.Although 3.2 quarts, not 32, this is among the widest round casserole available in glass.It is very heavy glass; maybe too heavy for some. It cannot be managed by one hand. It is the heaviest pan I have encountered (with exception of cast iron pans). Libby brand casseroles seem heavier than other glass brands. However, such comparisons may be apples to oranges, if some competing brands are a different type of glass, for example borosilicate glass. (This was not labeled borosilicate.) An alternative that seems a little lighter, but is taller, 3.5 quarts, and is borosilicate glass: Simax  Simax Glassware 6226/6236 Round Casserole Pan with Lid, 3.5-Quart I am glad that the casserole came with a lid; a feature we prefer in all bakeware. The cover helps keep the food from drying out in the oven. We don't want to hassle with aluminum foil.Note that these casseroles have flat bottoms, with just a little rounding where the vertical sides meet the horizontal bottom. Libbey has made other styles of casseroles that are much more rounded, like a hemisphere; I don't know if they are still available. We prefer these with the flat bottoms; they are more versatile for roasting and baking.Libbey also makes other glass casseroles in this same flat-bottom shape/style, but smaller capacity --1 quart and 2 quart sizes. For example:  Libbey Round Covered Glass Casserole Set, 6 piece . You may want to shop around.These casseroles are wide, but not so tall.This casserole, 55952, was labeled as '"DIA 10.5 IN / 26.7 CM" -- diameter is 10 and a half inches.The sides are angled slightly; thus the bottom is slightly narrower than the top edge.Interior diameter near bottom is 9 7/16", when measured about an inch above the bottom. 'Interior height without lid 2 '".'This casserole lid is not flat; it has a slightly domed shape.Lid dome interior is about 1 ½" high at the center, where it is highest (height excluding the knob-handle).Lid dome interior height is a little lower -- about 1 ¼" -- when measured nearer the side walls of lid 'interior. 'My favorite feature: This glass lid just happens to be a perfect fit for my round Crock Pot, from around 1990! That old Crock Pot originally came with a plastic lid, which I didn't like. BTW, the newer slow cookers all seem to have nice glass lids, but I like the way our old Crock Pot works.My casserole came with safety warnings; many that I have come to expect from glass bakeware. I will include some of the warnings in this review, so you can determine whether these casseroles are compatible with your intended usage.Readable (not too tiny) warnings on paper insert-label:''"Do not take directly from freezer to microwave or oven."''"Avoid extreme temperature changes". 'Icon picture-symbols on label show usage in microwave ovens, traditional ovens, dishwasher, 'refrigerator (but not on stove-top burners).' Also NOT with broiler. I think no type of glass bakeware is safe with broilers."WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions may cause the product to break. 'Property damage or person injury from cuts or burns may result"' it says.Tiny warnings, almost unreadable:''"Be sure food is completely thawed (before using in this casserole) to cook or 'reheat."' (So we should not put still-frozen food into glass casserole, directly into oven.)'"Do not place hot bakeware on cold or wet surfaces, and never add liquids to 'hot bakeware."' (Sounds like basting is out.)If a hot casserole is removed from the oven, and set in a puddle of water on the counter top, I think the glass may crack, because of thermal shock. We also avoid putting hot glass into the kitchen sink, because of the same risk.Microwave usage is OK, but NOT for use in a microwave oven with a browner; and NOT 'for use to hold or support popcorn bags.' "Chipped" or "cracked" glass ware may break more easily, and should be discarded, the label also says.Do not use on top of the stove, in broiler, toaster oven, with an alcohol burner. [By 'alcohol burner, do they mean those burners seen on some large buffet-style 'banquets? Sterno?] 'I bought this at a local store, and thus am unable to comment on the sellers here.By the way, my casserole was labeled "Made in Mexico". '

A sturdy, durable, and attractive addition to my cookware collection!

Had to replace a similar item and had trouble finding a casserole this size. This is just right for a small casserole.
