content: I had been looking for a nine inch square baking dish, and thought this one would work. When it arrived, I noted that the sides of the dish were so sloped that the capacity was greatly diminished, and when I test-measured using water, sure enough, it only held 1.5 qts. Was very disappointed. Quality was OK, so I kept it (shipping charges made it too expensive to return).So am still looking for a true nine inch square dish!
