Whether or not mac and cheese or tuna wiggle are in heavy rotation in your house, you need a casserole dish or two — especially around the holidays. Even if your candied yams start out in a can, and it's just fine with me if they do, you can gussy them up by serving them out of a pretty heat-and-serve dish. You can prep your mashed potatoes ahead of time, pile them into a casserole dish, and then pop it into the oven or the microwave just before feast time.
A casserole dish is always oven-safe and you can find a fairly shallow one for baking a lasagna or an apple crisp, or deeper ones that can hold a beef stew. Some are made of metal so they can also be used on the stovetop and others are glass or ceramic so they can go in the microwave. I'm partial to ones that are attractive enough to double as serving dishes. More specifically, though, here are some of my faves that check off a few key boxes.
Why You Should Trust Our Gear Pro
For more than 30 years, I was in charge of testing and reporting on everything from wooden spoons to connected refrigerators at the Good Housekeeping Institute. I've walked the floors of every trade show and read every new product release for longer than most digital publications have existed!
My street cred? I also worked as a chef in New York City restaurants for seven years. And, at home, I make a fair amount of casseroles.
I've played with, tested, and used nearly every piece of kitchen gear (including casserole dishes) to come on the market for years. When it comes to gear, it takes a lot to impress me, and I know what actually works.
Picked by a Pro. Tested by Real Home Cooks.
I've tested what feels like every casserole dish on the market (at all the price points, low to high!) and these are my all-time favorites. But you don't have to take my word and my word alone, either. Kitchn editors — a unique hybrid of professionals and home cooks, who develop and test great recipes in real home kitchens — and real Amazon shoppers weighed in on some of these picks too, testing my favorites in the context of their actual home cooking.
After all, when it comes to kitchen gear, what matters is that it works for a home cook — not just that a chef endorses it, or that it passed some high-flying bar in a sterile test kitchen. You want gear that is, above all, practical, long-lasting, and mindful of real cooks, real kitchens, and real budgets.
