Morning!

I wondered if anyone had ever found a really deep lasagne dish? Anything up to a foot deep would not be considered excessive.

I'd just like to make a really deep lasagne with different clever layers.

Clever layering ideas welcome.

Nope, that's cheating Ludwig.

Everything is cooked beforehand so food-based murder would be unlikely...

.... Unless someone who couldn't swim fell into it of course.

It would be a long time in the oven though!

I'd slow cook it in a pit for 12 hours with some hot rocks and cover it with soil and foliage. I saw Ray Mears do it on an episode of 'Ray Mears Italian cooking bushcraft and survival'.
If you want your lasagne to stay whole, cook it for a couple of hours onba very low heat with foil over the top. Turn up the heat towards the end of cooking time to get it throughly cooked. Stand for 10 minutes before serving.

The other day I made some creamed spinach and then blasted it in the processor with goats cheese (but you could use a cream cheese such as ricotta). That would make an interesting layer.
Battery hens - they are clever layers.
Apparently there are some going begging on a motorway somewhere.....
you need really high tubes...this would probably work but it would be fiddly

Trot to the supermarket and buy the tallest tins of canned food that you can find..foreign wurst type canned sausages are in tall narrow cans. Buy one more can than you need. Remove the contents and cut out both ends of the can. Remove any paper labels. Wash thoroughly and allow to dry. Line each can with a roll of silicone paper, the kind that has one side foiled would be easiest. cook the lasagne and very carefully fit a piece into the bottom of each can with the edges tucked up inside the can. This will be the base and minimise leaks. Set the base lined cans on an oiled non stick baking sheet. Use the spare can to cut out circles of lasagne pasta. layer up the cans with ragu, cheese sauce and pasta as usual. You will need to make the sauces a bit dryer than usual to get the tower to stick together so have extra cheese sauce and ragu to serve on the side. Bake in the oven. Set each can on your serving plate, cross everything, slide off the can and peel off the liner. et viola!

And all that trudging about in humid swampy rainforests provides foot-rot parmesan style shavings for the top...
This may be too narrow...but it IS deep... http://www.advantage-catering-equipment.co.uk/advantage-5-litre-stainless-steel-napoli-pan.html
Even deep catering roasting tins are only 4"deep.

Woofgang - that's a pretty good idea. Reckon I could make it lean?

Hello ed - are you looking to feed the five thousand eastern european imigrants massing at the border ?
they are constructing tunnels under the Channel out of old food cans. Heaven knows where they got the idea.

I think Snags' suggestion might be a bit over the top, but I just really like deep lasagne? So no, I don't intend to share :)
Ed I reckon you'd be very lucky if it didn't lean!

Can you tell that I like to watch the more creative kind of cookery program?
// I just really like deep lasagne //

Deep lasagne is only deep when you're cooking it. Once you serve it it becomes tall.
only if they don't have a hole in them liza (sandy)
Liza + Henry would surely have a straw somewhere about the house. They fix it with that.
indeed they could,
But how would they cut it?
