If you put two uncovered (or just foil-covered) lasagna pans in this, will the top one touch the bottom one? Is there a stiff barrier?

I have done this with two different dishes. I put the heavy one on the bottom and lighter on top. Did not have a problem. However if I do two heavy dishes I think I would put a piece of foil wrapped cardboard between them just to prevent a problem.

There is not a stiff barrier, but it is a firm barrier. It is recommended that the hot dish be in the top tray and the cold dish, if you have one, in the bottom tray. I had a dessert covered in foil in the bottom tray with a heavy hot dish on the top. The dessert was not crushed and it stayed cold. Excellent potluck carrier.

There is a soft, well-insulated barrier -- the dishes would definitely not touch, but I'm not sure you could call it stiff. The upper dish would probably push the foil down on top of the lasagna. I definitely wouldn't do uncovered. Hope that helps.

The carrier comes with a cardboard liner that circles the bottom compartment. I decided to leave that in place as extra insurance against the top touching the contents of the bottom compartment. It works perfectly, but I didn't try it without the cardboard. If you have already recycled the cardboard packaging, it would be rather easy to cut another one to fit the inside of the lower section.

Yes, this pan is a deep 3" inch pan for baking your lasagna. However the construction is flimsy. I question even heat being distributed for proper baking. I don't see this pan lasting for a long duration. Would I buy this pan again? My answer would be no. I would rather spend more to have a pan last for the long haul.

Yes. I would suggest that the rack is covered with foil just in case of over-flow.

Although it looks to be a bit top-heavy if placed above the smallest diameter pot (I use a pot that fits the middle-diameter contour), I don't think there is an issue here.

It's not deep enough. I would barely fit one layer of my lasagne in it. I love these, though. I use them for leftovers.

Yes we have a layer of aluminum foil at the bottom of the tray. Just keep it away from the heat elements. Which is not a problem normally.hope that makes sense.

I did pretty much the same thing as the other person who answered, but only recessed it about 2", just enough so it wouldn't look like it was balanced on top of the counter. I prefer a little more solid look. Since the foil on the outside of the bowl can be delicate if it isn't well protected, read my reply to the question "does light go through...?" You don't want to damage the foil if there is movement between the counter and the bowl because of differences in expansion and contraction.

No, it will be too close to the element. I always put my oven rack at the lowest position & then put the 3-in-1 rack on top of the oven rack.

You can't touch the outside they created a barrier by adding two metal baskets on either side. So on the outsides there's about 2 inches between the oven and the metal band basket

Thanks for pointing this out to me. The L8SGP3 pan is deeper than the pan I purchased. There is no depth to the pan I have. There are no "sides". I might like this other pan as well.

Yes, but keep in mind, the with between walls are 2.5 inches and the depth is 1.75 inches. So it would be a shallow narrow lasagna.There is a bigger version of this as an all edge Lasagna pan you might want to look for. As for this brownie pan, I LOVE it! All chewy edges on all of my brownies!!!Hope this helps.

Sandy W. I have done both, but have to place the rack so that it is lower in the oven, which means you need to watch the bottom of whatever you are cooking. If you are using a shallow baking dish that centers your food quite evenly, everything seems to work fine! Hope this helps!

I would never store the lasagna in this. Pan is made for heat, not cold. Remove from pan and put in a sealed container. I use microwavable containers so I can heat and eat! With the spatula that comes with this pan, transferring the lasagna from this to another container is so easy!!

We used ours for that purpose and had no problems. I have also placed foil on the rack and used a toothpick to poke holes in it because there were small pieces that I didn't want to fall through the rack. Both worked very well.

Yes! Both the large skillet and flat skillet are big enough to cover the bottom of the dutch oven. It's not a perfect seal, but it's pretty darn close. Great idea!

I couldn't tell you this is the first I even thought about so I just got up to look at it.....I like it b cuz I just realized we slide the oven back on my counter often and the rubber in front keeps it from moving in the direction we don't want. I sorry I hope that helped.

I think it depends on what you are making. I didn't grease it for lasagna. I put lots of sauce on the bottom. But for bread, brownies or cake- It would probably would. be a benefit! Its a nice pan!
