9 x 13 x 2 inch Baking Dish
One dish I use over and over again in my recipes is a 9x13x2 inch baking dish.
This is a standard size dish that is readily available in kitchen shops and even most grocery stores. It will hold 15 cups of ingredients.
For my Sausage and Egg Casserole (video) you will need a 9 x13x2 inch pan. The amount of filling in that recipe is adjusted for this size pan.
The same is true for making my Lasagna Recipe (video).
Decorative 9x13x2 inch baking dishes are very useful for both baking and serving. Many of these decorative dishes do not quite measure 9x13x2. In the photo below, I am turning Chicken Cutlets (Video) into Chicken Parmesan. I just needed a dish big enough for the cutlets to fit in a single layer. So it wasn’t essential that the dish be exactly 9x13x2 inches.
7 Layer Dip (Video) was also made in a decorative dish measuring approximately 9x13x2. Two round, 8-inch pie dishes would have worked as well.
With my Meatloaf Recipe (Video) (shown below) I made a free-form loaf in a 9x13x2 inch baking dish.
A plain Pyrex dish costs less than $10. I think it is definitely worth the investment. Cheers!

I’m not sure how anyone could survive without a couple of pans like this in their kitchen. Like you, I use mine for almost everything I cook in the oven. I had to buy a second one because one always seemed to be dirty.
