I purchased this set of bake ware after I (a true klutz) broke a few too many pieces of my CorningWare and need more casseroles and heavy duty baking dishes. This set definitely fits the bill for being heavy duty and I am impressed with the quality of heat retention and cooking that the glassware offers. The price was right ($43.70 through Amazon with free shipping as I am a Prime member) for the variety of items included in this set.

Two drawbacks that anyone thinking about purchasing this set should consider though: The first issue is that the manufacture packages the glass with flimsy cardboard separating the pieces so you are probably going to have breakage in transit. My first box had several broken pieces, and the replacement did as well. Rather than trying for a third set I decided to combine the whole pieces together for one set and sent all of the broken pieces back together. The other issue is that they add some really flimsy spatulas and measuring spoons to bolster the item count in this set which I feel is deceptive in terms of the value of the set (especially at the regular Amazon price of $65.00). Disregard those items when considering your purchase as they are worthless, and should be thrown in the trash.

I gave this 4 stars but 3.5 would be more fitting.

Great product for a great price! Highly impressed. Very heavy duty glassware. Will definitely buy this manufacturer's product again!!

of course if you read the bottom it says not for stove top use...but...I decided to use it for minimal use in boiling some eggs. I set the eggs in water in the anchor bowl...set the heat on high .. and covered it with a heat resistent plate. When it started to bowl..I removed the plate...and BOOM!!!!...the entire bowl blew up!!!...Glass and hot water everywhere!..I don't mind if you have a disclaimer about not using it on the stove top..but...DANGER! It Blows up! is a little bit different than the statement...'For microwave and oven use only'...
