I'm looking for a big honking lasagna pan that will properly fit the noodles. Currently the 9x13 pan just isn't cutting it and I want to get something great. Just doing an informal survey of what pepole are using and like.

I have a big Paderno pan that I use. Check out the specials page on their website I bought mine in PEI several years ago

It's been a while, but in the past I've used my non-stick Paderno roasting pan for lasagna. It may require a bit of cutting and reassembling to get the noodles to fit, though.

What type of noodles are you using? If you use cooked or fresh, they can be easily cut to fit any pan...

Again, depending on how big you want your lasagna to be, we use the old Corningware lasagna pans. They're great. They're just slightly bigger than the noodles, so I can get lots of space on the sides so I don't have to scrape it out when cutting.

Since I started using this size of pan, I don't think I could go back to one that is EXACTLY the size of the noodle. Of course, that would be a problem with making a larger dish because the noodles would float out to the edges. When I made it like this for my family last summer, they were amazed that they hadn't thought to do it this way.

I just hate scrubbing dishes, so this was a solution.

Also, you can sometimes find them at garage sales really cheap, so this was another solution.

@ hip funky fun , I'd want them to fit dry noodles for those times when I cheat and use oven ready. Trimming the cooked noodles is fine. Ideally I'd like to get three dry noodles in lengthwise and one across the top.

I have a couple of glass pans and just wide enough to fit 3 noodles side by side and just slightly longer than the noodles themselves.

I have also used some aluminum loaf pans that were just long enough for a single noodle.. some mini loaf pans for half a noodle if I want to freeze large single servings..
