We love these pans... have the complete set plus 2- 1Qt and 2- 1.5Qt pans. The only reason for a "4" rating is because of the lids. Where the glass meets the metal on the underside, liquids and small particles collect, even when washed in the dishwasher. You can see it on the outer side. Much prefer metal lids. Other than that they're great... heat evenly, don't stick, clean easily and wear well... and the lids do fit well.
