That Good Old 9×13 Pan. Only Better.

Like so many couples, one of our wedding gifts was a glass 9″x13″ baking pan. Just like the old standby ones our mothers had as we were growing up. Back then, it seemed huge for just my husband and me (although we do love leftovers).Today, with the addition of three children to our family, that size seems just about right, whether I’m cooking a casserole, roasting vegetables, making brownies or baking some other dessert. I use this pan almost daily, which is why I’m seriously considering buying another one. 

Well, here’s that same good old 9×13 pan, updated in gleaming stainless steel. Glass is good, but stainless steel is even better – easier cleanup and much more attractive, in my opinion. Plus, my clumsy self can’t break it if dropped. All in all, a super-sturdy, elegant solution!
