When a casserole dish makes food look as good as this one does, we're tempted to forgo plates altogether. (Amazon)(Amazon)
Doesn't the thought of a cheesy lasagna bubbling away after emerging from the oven make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside? How about the promise of gooey homemade brownies, or, come Thanksgiving, some piping-hot stuffing? Of course, all three of these comfort foods have something in common: They require a baking dish. And if you're ready to ditch the flimsy, disposable aluminum trays for a sturdier, prettier option, we've got just the one. The Dowan Casserole Dish is an Amazon bestseller and just so happens to be on sale, so scoop it up ahead of the holidays.
More than 11,000 Amazon shoppers love these sturdy food containers from JoyJolt, which have airtight seals to keep food fresh and come in varying shapes and sizes for different appetites and needs.
They're made of borosilicate glass (used on thermal tiles in space shuttles) for durability and clarity and are oven-safe up to 1,040°F.
What's more, they can go in the microwave without a lid for quick warm-ups, plus the freezer for leftovers you won't get to very quickly. Grab them at 43% off for all of your storing and prepping needs!
Use the included pan protectors to store the pans and keep them from getting scratched.
Whether you're storing shorts and sundresses in the winter or puffer coats and comforters in the summer, these roomy storage bags will keep everything nice and organized from season to season. Each one has an impressive 60-liter capacity, along with see-through front panels so you won't forget what you stashed in them. Now is a great time to buy, considering that they're 65% off.
"I can't say enough how these containers have changed my life," raved one shopper. "These are handy to reorganize your closets, bedroom or anywhere in your house. They are strong and are stackable. I would recommend these."
This cordless shower scrubber makes cleaning grimy tubs and tiled floors a breeze.
Why keep tripping over bottles of shampoo and conditioner when these handy shower shelves exist? This top-selling set claims to hold up to 40 pounds (that's a lot of shampoo) and comes with five storage racks in different sizes for all of your bathtime essentials. All you need to do is apply the included adhesives to stick 'em on the wall.
This small but mighty chain saw is powerful enough to take down tree branches, yet weighs under 2.5 pounds. It's also cordless. Overgrown shrubs, you've met your match. This is the lowest price we've seen.
If your ratty old dish towels have seen better days, this 100% cotton set is an excellent swap. The waffle weave pattern not only looks nice, but it also offers a bit of texture for more effective scrubbing.
This is close to as low as these kitchen staples have ever been on sale for.
Alright, enough tooling around — this deal won't last forever.
Want something a little more festive? This cheery red is on sale for just a few bucks more.
Functionality aside, this also might be one of the chicest-looking food totes we've ever seen.
This dish hasn't dipped lower than its current price since 2021, according to our price trackers — so it's safe to assume this is just about as low as it'll get. And considering how much use you'll get out of it during the holidays and beyond, it's an absolute steal. (For comparison, this Le Creuset dish costs nearly four times as much, and it's smaller!) Prices vary depending on color, and the classic white dish is currently on sale for the lowest amount.
The best bakeware is the kind that's attractive enough to double as a serving dish, and the Dowan Casserole Dish delivers. It's a classic 9" x 13" with chic ridged details on its sides, so you could absolutely take your gratin directly from oven to table. Fewer dishes to clean!
Made of smooth-glazed ceramic, it retains heat to keep food warm for longer, and the slick coating makes for less scrubbing. (It's also dishwasher-safe if you'd prefer to let a machine do the dirty work — no shame in that.) With a 4.2-quart capacity, it's large enough to hold a whole chicken and large cuts of meat, as well as baked pastas, green bean casseroles and cakes, and its taller sides help prevent dreaded spillage onto your oven floor.
Over 2,400 Amazon customers are dishing out praise for this kitchen essential.
"I have used the old-fashioned, clear glass baking dishes for decades," shared one convert. "Because I am now making more casseroles and one-pan dishes, I decided to buy a very nice baking dish for future endeavors. I ordered this dish in plain white so I could use it with any dishes on my table. Not only is it nice-looking, it is deep and substantial. I no longer have to worry about food dripping over the sides. Best of all, every recipe comes out a winner. I highly recommend this for any cook's kitchen!"
"It was bigger than I expected, which is awesome," raved another. "[I] got lots of compliments and it looks really elegant. It makes simple food (whether a main dish or dessert) look fancy."
"It's built quite rugged and easy to grab using the handles," said a happy home cook. "Now I can make my lasagnas super deep without worrying about making a mess in the oven. A little soaking to soften the baked-on bits, and it cleans right up to looking new again."
"[This] heavy-duty, deep casserole pan is great for lasagna or baked spaghetti," wrote a generally pleased reviewer. "My one wish is for it to have a lid — the pan holds a lot of food; you're going to have leftovers!"
"Perfect for my baking," swooned a final fan. "I like this dish because it's a lot more attractive than a metal pan. And unlike metal, it won't rust." That said, they added, "This is not a light dish, so beware of this when handling your baked goods. Because of its weight, I can understand why a metal pan would be preferred."
