I gave this set to my sister-in-law for Christmas and liked the color since she had recently received a cookware set the same color. They have very tight fitting lids with a good seal and the clear window is helpful to see the contents or how much contents are left. She liked them very much and thought they were very pretty. The only other thing that would be helpful is a knob or handle to pull up the lid, especially for people with dexterity issues.
