Lasagna has requirements. It needs straight sides to keep the layers honest, enough depth that the top browns while the middle stays moist, and a dish handsome enough to go to the table because nobody wants to serve lasagna twice. The Lastra White Rectangular Baker holds two and three-quarter quarts, which covers a full pan for a family with leftovers. Handcrafted of Italian stoneware in Tuscany, it carries Lastra's overlapping edge, borrowed from the wooden hoops Italian cheesemakers bound with twine. Oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe, it takes the whole route from assembly to freezer to oven to table. Layer it with other pieces from the collection and the baking dish stops looking like cookware and starts looking like part of the setting.
