The quality is excellent. It has good weight and color hues. It holds more than a "family" size meal. It is also easy to handle, in terms of portability. I love the handles, they really are potholder size. I think this may be a bit much for a small family. It is just simply gigantic. So modify your recipes accordingly. Or by the smaller size of this casserole. I think this will make 5 cornish hens. Or 2 large whole chickens. Or a ton of stew. Or an army amount of au gratin. In my opinion this is for a family size of 6 or better.
I would say conserve the lid life, and use foil to cover. Then replace lid, during serving.
Overall this is an excellent buy. Especially when it will be your FREE item, when combining it with the 3 other items.
This also can double as a mega fruit server. Or for Thanksgiving size cobblers, just don't forget to add wafers or lady finders, or pre-baked crust to make this a 4 layer cobbler.
It really is a great all-purpose baker.

Easy to clean great for anything from pasta to baked dishes. I was amazed at how easy it is to clean. MAn I tell you what I know how to put some stains on my dishes with you know that black stuff we all dread to clean and well I let is soak 30 min in warm dish soap and water and it came right off no scrubbing it was great! I love it wish I had 10 more just like it!Best Deals for Rachael Ray Stoneware 4-1/4-Quart Covered Bubble and Brown
I've always wanted to get a Rachel Ray item and until recently she only had orange items, so I was very excited to see this red casseroval with AMAZON FREE SHIPPING!!!First off, I didn't read the item description well, saw that it said "from stove to table" and stopped reading.
When I got the casseroval, I was so excited I opened the box, washed it, turned the stove on medium/high, and put pork chops on. Within 5 minutes, I heard a crack. The entire bottom was cracked into 4 large pieces. After cleaning up the mess and putting out a small fire (literally), I opened the instructions... first words in big black bold lettering: "DO NOT USE ON STOVETOP!!!" ... my $40 lesson learned.
Aside from that horrible lesson, I LOVED it for the 5 minutes that I took it out of the box, washed it, and put it onto the stove. The handles are large, it's not as heavy as a cast iron (which is stove to oven to table), and is a great size for a family of 4. You are to fit about 8 good sized pork chops into it (double layered) to put into the oven.
I must say that I even loved it enough that I will probably order another one, and this time, will be using IN THE STOVE and TO THE TABLE :) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
