I received this baking dish as a gift and used it 5 times without complaint. The next time I used it to bake chicken it was completely broken in half when I went to remove the dish from the oven. I had done nothing differently but there has to be a problem with this product. I went online (Amazon had one complaint about breakage) but typing in LeCrueset resulted in several such complaints about the product breaking while in the overn.I had intended to buy other pieces of LeCrueset Stoneware in different sizes but certainly will not do so.
