This dish is OK, but has a couple of issues:

- Cannot emphasize this enough: THINK ABOUT HOW SMALL 15 OUNCES REALLY IS!

It's not much. Even a can of prepared soup is 16 ounces. This is an individual serving size dish. I know they give you the dimensions...but they should call it a "single serving" dish or something, just to be clearer. If in doubt, get out a ruler and look at how small 7 x 5 inches is.

- The lid could be a lot better:

It would be nice if it was clear, or had a vent. As it is now, you have to position it carefully in the microwave so the dish does not "seal" while cooking (which will ruin it).

Also, the lid kind of "dips down" into the dish - it should be the opposite - "domed" - so you can fit a bit more food in. The concave shape means that if you fill the dish to the top, some will squeeze out when you seal it. Thus making it...well, more like a 14-ounce dish! :-)

- That being said, if all you want is a teeny dish to heat up a little bit of something for yourself, the quality is good and it will do the job.

Who ever says that these dishes are too small is missing the point entirely! I have used these dishes to bake, store, and freeze individual portions since I first moved out on my own (yes, like many people, my first "grown-up investment" was a set of Corningware French White)... now that I am more settled (10+ years later), I bought more of these so that I can make and store good meals for my husband and I. The 15 oz size is perfect for a single portion of stew, lasagna, potpie, etc. My advice is buy 6. If you make a large pot of stew, you will have enough for 8 portions - eat two, freeze the other 6. When you want a quick meal, pull two out of the freezer and warm as is, cover with pie dough and bake, cover with biscuits and bake, cover with puff pastry and bake... you get the idea ;)

The oval dish was as I expected but one of the covers doesn't fit. The other cover fits both dishes but is difficult to use even when I preheated it under hot water to stretch it out.

I love this little dish, perfect for making individual pot pies for my family...not too small and not too big for my boys with big appetites :)

I ordered this because it says: "Glass and plastic lids make cooking, serving, and storing easy and convenient". Glas and plastic lids - sure shounds like there are more than one lid there. Lids - plural. Silly me, it only came with one plastic lid. I contacted coustomer service and they were getting ready to send another one just like it. I finally got them to check to see how many lids and what kind of lids were included. I wish someone would proof read the ads.

It's a nice little dish with ONE PLASTIC LID and NO GLASS LID.

This wonderfully sized piece of Corning Ware is perfect for microwaving those frozen vegetables. There is room for two servings. The lid is a bit challenging to remove especially with arthritic thumbs, but once it is off it all works great. I wish I had ordered more than one.

Corning makes great dishes that last for years. This one is small and perfect for single servings to heat up or bake. It will hold a side of vegetables or a cutlet.

This is small, might be good for making a nice looking dip or small dessert, lid is not that great. A classic for the kitchen, but limited in it's uses.

Just what you would expect form corning. Durable, nice design, functional. I have several pieces of bake ware I some times use for serving as well. Excellent products.

corningware as stoneware and Pyrex as glass are the best bakewares for baking breads, cakes, muffins, etc.,

I bought this 15 oz. size instead of ordering 4 piece 4-oz. ramekins.
So the size is OK for me.

I used to bake with aluminum foil in gas stove; however we had to move and our new place has electric stove. Unfortunately, aluminum foil does not bake good in electric stoves.
So I switched to stoneware and glass recently and corningware is my favorite!
