This bakeware is both a classic and smart design. I love cooking with glassware as I find my dishes cook evenly and true to temperature. This is the perfect size for a sidedish or a complete meal for two. It cleans up well and I also like that I can put it in the dishwasher. Also having its own lid means I can take it right to the refrigerator if there are leftovers. The lid also makes it handy to take to a potluck. It is attractive too so I can put it out with company. It's so convenient.
