Arcuisine Borosilicate Glass Round Casserole w/Lid 17.8 Centimeters / 1 Liter

Wanted a small dish with lid and this fits the bill

Il miglior acquisto che ho fatto per cucinare con il microonde. Facile da pulire, grande il giusto per stare nel microonde. Ci scaldo/cucino di tutto in pausa pranzo e lo uso anche come piatto.

Las limitaciones de uso de esta cazuela con quemadores de gas , usando planchas de hierro intermedias, desaparecen. Las mejores cocinas económicas, las de leña y carbón de toda la vida, en eso se basan.Para quien sepa y disfrute, cocinar es un placer, no un falso arte ni un programa de televisión. Y a 'fuego bajo', una delicia el resultado. En cristal cualquier cocción es natural, por más que al acero inoxidable, al hierro fundido, o a cualquier aluminio prensado o fundido, pretendan hacerlos imprescindibles en la cocina: sin perjuicio de los vidrios sosa-cal templados que de tan buenos son de otra liga, hay vidrios borosilicatados que son químicamente inertes en la cocción, y sirven por poco precio para llegar a niveles de calidad culinaria por encima de historiados y muy caros utensilios de otra estructura metálica de diseño sofisticado.Cantos de Sirena...Vaya, que si te gusta cocinar, lo sabes...

I bought this item as a test--I've never used Arcuisine products before. I am very pleased with the results.I use this chiefly as a re-warming dish, both in the oven and in the microwave. My kids' meals are frequently leftovers from the night before, and I got tired of using the microwave, odd bowls, and covering them with paper towel. Believe it or not, since we bought this we've actually cut back on paper towel usage! Score right there.I also take this to work. I don't like the idea of using plastic (BPA-free/phthalate-free or not!) to re-heat food, so this was a natural. Our other Pyrex casseroles were, of course, too big. This one fits nicely into the insulated lunchbag I stole from my wife, bottoms-down.There is, of course, no gasket on the lid--so you have to store it right-side up. It is entirely clear, with that blue cast to it that you see in the photo. The design on the side is just a sticker, not an enameled design motif--I had mistaken it as such when I looked at it the first time on my tiny mobile screen.When I first got it, I was disappointed that I'd missed that it doesn't have a knob on the top lid. That means you have to use your fingers on the sides of the lid. On the other hand, it means that you can stack other stuff on top of it! I am using an exclamation point there because we live in one of those shoe-box apartments in NYC that you hear about on television, and this is a really handy feature.I'm going to buy another one because my wife has been eyeing it jealously of late.

Same as a pyrex, just a bit less expensive
