The pan itself, once you get past the material not being what you expected, is a nice design. All of the inside corners are (rounded) at >1/4" radius which should make it easier to clean than a pan with sharp corner bends. It also has a 1 1/4" flange around to the top edges that extends outward and upward at about a 20 degree angle from horizontal. The outside edge of the flange is finished in a full roll which should give it considerable extra strength and eliminate any sharp edges. The flange also provides some slosh protection if you're carrying the pan with a liquid inside and makes the pan particularly easy to carry even if you're wearing oven mitts. There are two embossed marks on the inside of one of the long sides of the pan that indicate the levels at which the pan is 1/2 and 3/4 full. There are also tick marks embossed in the tops of the flanges on all four sides a tad less than 1 1/2" apart. These are there presumably for you to use as a guide when cutting the contents of the pan into portions.
The coating looks like a typical silver/gray non-stick material that probably won't stand up to metal utensils. So make sure you use non-stick safe plastic spatulas and knives with this pan if you want to preserve the integrity of the coating.
The top is pretty much like it looks in the picture. It is made of a moulded semi-transparent clear plastic with a snap catch on each end which secures it quite securely to the pan. Of course, this cover is meant as a storage cover and would not be suitable for any application hotter than warm water.
I'm torn on how to rate this pan. It's not what you would probably expect and nowhere in the product description is it mentioned that this is not a Pyrex glass pan, but instead stamped metal. This is deceptive since I think it's natural that you would expect a smoke colored glass pan after reading the description and looking at the picture. However, if you want a medium duty non-stick metal pan this is a well-designed pan and will probably serve you well. That's why I've given it a 4. If the metal was a bit heavier gauge I'd have given it a 5.

I bought two of these for my mother who makes us breakfast casseroles every Christmas. I thought I was ordering glass pyrex baking dishes with covers and had them shipped directly to her. I was surprised when she gave them to me full and they were metal. Nevertheless, after our brunch of baked on eggs, cheese, sausage, etc... I put them in the sink to soak for an hour or so. You seriously could have wiped them clean with a paper towel! One swipe with the sponge and the pan was clean! No scrubbing required at all. As the edges are rounded, there is no scouring tight corners. I am concerned that over time the non-stick coating may degrade, but hopefully with use of plastic utensils they will last for awhile. I may order a few for myself and toss all my old Baker's Secret pans! I wouldn't trust the handle on the plastic lid unless you are carrying something very lightweight.Best Deals for Pyrex Advantage 9 x 13 Inch Rectangular Baking Dish with Cover
This is the best no stick pan I have ever owned, and the great tight fitting cover makes it even better. The cover has a handle recessed in it and makes it so easy to transport without worry of the cover coming off. It even has lines inside to make even cutting very easy to achieve. I had to go to Amazon to find it after my neighbor saw mine and wanted one. I was surprised it was "pyrex" brand, as I associate pyrex with glass products which I also have.Honest reviews on Pyrex Advantage 9 x 13 Inch Rectangular Baking Dish with Cover
Bakes and carries well, easy to use lid. Be careful with handle, I carry it holding onto base and not handle, it seems like the side clips would give way easily. They should try to improve the fasteners.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Pyrex Advantage 9 x 13 Inch Rectangular Baking Dish with Cover
Our old pans were scratched and rusted. These pans replaced those and are great! They extra wide lips on each edge work well to contain anything from spilling over. The pans are very easy to clean! I'd highly recommend these!
