These casserole dishes are GREAT! I love the handles....they make for easy handling in the oven. The pieces easily go from oven to table. They heat & cook evenly. The only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is because of the depth of the side walls, If you have a juicy/saucy casserole you'll have to really watch and make sure the juices don't overflow out of the sides. Other than that, I am well pleased with them.
