) Anyway, whenever the discontinued list comes out at the end of each season, I try to get at least one or two of the items from my wish list that are going away. This year it is the Deep Dish Baker Lid and the 2 Recipe Card sets and if I can swing it, the Tart/Quiche Pan.

Is the new deep dish baker smaller? I think I want to get the old one.

I believe the deep dish baker that will be discontinued is the unglazed, round one...the one that is used for deep dish Chicago style pizzas, not the rectangular baker. The rectangular baker lid/bowl will be discontinued. The glazed deep dish bakers will still be available and they are the same price. As for the new stoneware piece, it will easily fit a chicken.
