4.0 out of 5 stars Use these all the time, December 12, 2009

I've had very good luck with these and use them all the time. The two quart is perfect for the entree casseraole, the 20 oz for the veggie side, and the small one for a sauce or gravy. At first I was dissapointed that the two smaller dishes didn't have a knob on the lid. But then I realized that the flat top allowed you to use the lid as a hotplate for the dish so the lid was always handy.
In fact, I'd buy a half a dozen of the 20 oz ones if I could find them. My only complaint is that I could only find this size as part of a package deal.

This set is perfect for microwave cooking and refrigerator storage. I do not like to microwave in plastic containers or lids. Sizes are just what I needed.

You need the whole set, not just the big casserole.

Why? Because when you cook vegetables in a microwave, it is the steam within the vegies which does the cooking. If you use an open container, the vegies just dry out, and never cook. Try it, just try microwaving string beans in an open container---you can't do it. You have to use a covered container, and the container needs to be as small as possible. The glass tops work very well, releasing pressure, but holding in as much steam as possible.

Unlike the reviewer who claims that the 12 oz casserole is useless, I used them heavily. It's the right size for one large serving or two small servings of your favorate vegetable. Just fill it to the brim, and microwave for 3--5 minutes. For example, dice a 2 1/2" potato, microwave for 4 minutes, mix in a little mayo or butter, and you've got 2 servings of great-tasting mashed potatoes.

I actually have 6 of the 12 oz casseroles, and also use them for baking French onion soup, baked custards, and other single-serving dishes.

The 24 oz casseroles are my workhorses (I have 3). They are great for 2 vegetable servings. Ever cook a cup of brown rice, and find that not all the water has been absorbed? Pack it in a 24 oz casserole and microwave for 5 minutes---the rice will be perfect. Honest!! The 24oz are available individually under Marenex brand Marinex 23.7-Ounce Small Round Casserole with Lid

The 1 1/2 quart size is most useful for 4 vegetable servings, or to prepare a 2-servings of a 1 dish meal, such as chili, chicken and rice etc. For a family, a 2 quart and 3 quart casserole would be useful.

Some reviewers use the dishes for storage---of course you CAN do that. But I recommend Pyrex or Anchor glass storage bowls with plastic tops. They are cheaper and better for storage. The plastic cover seals tighter, and can be used for moderately long term storage in the freezer Pyrex 6022369 Storage 14-Piece Round Set, Clear with Blue Lids

The 2 cup containers are similar in size to the 12 oz casserole, and the 4 cup containers are similar in size to the 24 oz casseroles---the glass casserole tops do not perfectly fit the storage containers, but are usable when microwaving a storage container to warm the contents.

Yes, I know, microwaved vegies are kinda bland---want to perk them up? Brown them in a gridler. With this set of casserole dishes, a microwave, and a gridler, you can make many great dishes in just a few minutes. Can you imagine great potato pancakes in 6-8 minutes, including cooking the potatoes?---it can be done. How about nicely browned chicken thighs from frozen to done in 8-10 minutes?
