Anyone know of a good, reasonably priced 9x13 pan?

[minnie1928]

I had a fabulous 9x13 that was made by a pottery company called Gerald Henn (they're like Longaberger) and tonight it exploded in the oven. I contacted a former coworker of mine that also has many pieces of Henn pottery to see if they warranty their products. She told me that the company has since gone out of business, so it looks like I'm out of luck.

So, now I'm in the market for a new 9x13 pan. Anyone have a pan that has a high side wall? If so, who made it? How much and where to get it?

Thanks!

My Pyrex 9 x 13 was my mothers, I don't know if they still make this one, but I think it will last forever. I also have a blue one I bought at Target last spring, so might check there as they bring out the new kitchen items. I don't think the Corningware French White I have has high sides, but you might check here: http://www.shopworldkitchen.com/inde...0&folderId=419

I highly recommend Fiesta baking dishes. They have both 9x13 and 8x8. You can catch them on sale at Macy's, Boscov's and the Bon Ton Department stores (there are different names in different states). I got mine from Boscov's online when they were running a sale. It was less than $40 and well worth the money. They bake really evenly and everything comes out great. They are also the easiest I have ever cleaned. They also come in lots of great colors!
Here's a link to Elder-Beerman (a Bon Ton store) and they currently have them on sale for $36.00. This is a great price!

The company does have a website, although it specifically states that their museum store is not open in Jan and Feb.

It also appears that you can order online.

Plain old Pyrex has always worked for us. I still have my mom's from the 60s and 70s, plus some newer pieces. It lasts forever.

Thanks for the website, just goes to show you how much my former coworker knows. However, it looks like they've discontinued the 9x13 product because it's not available in any of their color selections.

I'm leery of Pyrex, because we had a similar situation happen about 20 years ago (before we were married). When I mentioned what happened to my friend she said that you're not supposed to use the pans dry. Meaning, don't leave the bottom unlined if you are just baking a piece of meat or something that doesn't fill the entire pan. I typically made lasagna in this pan, rarely meat (in this case, pork loin). When she mentioned that, I remembered that that's what my husband was doing when the Pyrex dish exploded so many years ago (that time was chicken).
