THERE WERE TWO REQUIREMENTS
1. The dish had to be see-through so I could view the chicken for meat thermometer insertion as my microwave is mounted high.
2. The casserole had to fit and be able to rotate freely on the microwave carousel.
RESULTS
The casserole passed both tests. It rotates freely and I can actually see what I'm doing when testing for inner temperature.
Here's the actual measurements of the dish which are slightly different than the Amazon measurements.
The Dish is 12-3/8 inches x 8 inches. This includes the length of the handles.
My GE Microwave inner dimensions are 19-1/2 inches x 13-1/4 inches.
I really like this casserole dish and especially the grab handles.

I really like this container. It is a great size, the lid is awesome. The handle on the lid is not detached at all (no hole through it) it just has a little lip to grab which I can do even with an oven mitt on.However I was hoping that buying this would provide me with a reusable oven lid that could be used with Pyrex Easy Grab 2-Piece Value Pack, includes 1-ea 3-qt Oblong, 2-qtOblong (No Lids) or
Pyrex Easy Grab 4-Piece Value Pack, includes 1-ea 3-qt Oblong, 2-qtOblong, Red Plastic Covers (which I have two sets of). However the oblong seems to be the key word as the oblong 2 quart is a tiny bit longer then this one (which is taller). I will try to get side by side photos of them when they are both clean.
I love Pyrex and have used the clear ones for years with the plastic lids (the red goes great in my kitchen). I just wish they had more of the glass lids so I didn't have to cover with foil and then throw it away. What a waste.
Best Deals for Pyrex Easy Grab 2 quart casserole with glass cover
I took a chance on this reasonably low priced casserole, and I guess I lost. It came solidly built and shipped very quickly, but I was searching for an affordable dish with a lid that fits close to snug to hold in moisture while cooking. This has huge 1/8th to 1/4th inch gaps that will release all the steam, which does not meet my needs.Pyrex makes makes better fitting lids and even an excellent fitted lid using a silicone seal, but that's not offered in more usable sizes.
It is U.S. made.
