I just measured my pan and it is 3" to the lip, but there is a very small
lip on it, maybe a quarter to 3/8".
This pan will hold 20 pieces of cooked lasagna (I think 20 pieces in a
pound). I usually put three pieces longwise and cut 1-1/2 pieces into 3
pieces and put them across. So, each layer has 4-1/2 slices for each layer.
Using it this way, it will easily give 4 layers. Generally, I use a tomato
sauce, mozzarella, ricotta, sometimes olives (not canned), separately
prepared Italian sausage, and grated parmesan reg or grana padano always on
top. I could have missed something :-))

Gee, I've never heard of this. I know you post occasionally on alt.coffee
and I've not seen any mention of it; perhaps I've just not seen it. But
wading thru the 2 or 3 egoists' postings there, it's hard to want to read
anything anymore.

I started to research Technivorm, but can see there more here than just a
casual bit of reading.

I've been drinking coffee from a french press which I don't care much
about - as DH has not had time to clean the espresso machine. Tomorrow
might be the day. We've been thinking about a separate coffee maker, but
haven't got too far doing our research. Thanks for the mention of it.
