I agree with Amy. It would be awfully hard to get a serving of lasagne out of a 6" deep pan, or so it seems to me.

The only way you'd be able to do it would be to refrigerate the baked lasagna, then slice it cold and reheat the slices.

I figured I'd destroy the first slice but the others would be okay, like a good deep dish pie. I was excited about the 6" pan but buying an expensive pan right now is out of the question even if I find it. I am not at all excited about a 4" pan, so I am not sure it is worth keeping. Being that the 4" pan is here and the 6" pan is not available, I will think about it.

Lisa,

I highly recommend you don't make a 6" high version of this. At that height it becomes much more complicated to cut and serve, and I believe you'd be cursing me for even suggesting this recipe.

When I make this, it's in a 3" tall dish. It's perfect for the two of us for the first night, and lots of nice leftovers.

I'm curious where you found a 6 inch deep pan....I thought my Mario Batali pan was deep, and it's 3 inches iirc. Makes good lasagna though!

Thanks all, I apologize for my whineyness. It's been a bad week - 40% layoffs announced at work and my stress level is a wee bit high and my coping skills are not at their most shining. I appreciate all the suggestions.

Carey, the 6" pan isn't available any more at any rate. The only thing I have found comparable is a steam pan.

Lisa,

I forgot you work for BB. Is your job safe?

And, we all have our moments...you weren't as whiny as you think you might have been.

Hi Amy,

No telling on the job yet. You know it goes: no actual knowledge until D-Day. I am really worried about other folks frankly. I have team members on Visa's who will have to go "home" and others who are the only breadwinner in their family. We will get by, but I am definitely cranky this week, and minor disappointments are all out of proportion emotionally.

Current plan is to keep the 4" pan, and if I really don't like it I will donate it around Thanksgiving to someone who needs it. But it will probably be fine.

Thanks for asking,

--Lisa

Thanks Amy for the recipe. I'm going to make a plan for a day I can enjoy preparing this!!!!!

btw, I usually ladle some marinara sauce on the plate and put the lasagna on top of it. It's helpful to have a little extra sauce when you serve this.
