I saw these in person at a manufacturer's outlet store and as a berry fan, I simply HAD to have them. They are very cleverly designed - the lids fit snugly and don't wobble, thanks to a little notch in the cover and a matching one in the bottom piece. As you can see from the photo, the lids all have handles for easy unveiling of your culinary masterpiece inside.

Amazon doesn't tell you how big these casseroles are, but I will: the package says the capacity of the strawberry, raspberry and blackberry casseroles is 14 oz. The blueberry, with its non-tapered bottom, holds nearly 50% more (20 oz.).

Your friends and family might get suspicious if you always take the blueberry for yourself, but don't worry - I won't tell!

Yes, if you are after low-calorie deserts, these cute little stoneware pots are for you. Nevermind that the mfg. doesn't bother to tell how much they hold -- just know that if you put more than a cup of anything in them and then put them in the oven to bake -- you'll have most of your petite endeavour all over the bottom of the oven.

Great for tiny cobblers (use about 5 ounces of fruit and then about 4 x 1T dollops of crust/topping.) Use them for tiny servings of baked lasagna. Or tiny cakes to top with cold berries and whipped cream.

Just know that the word to remember is tiny. Very small. Itty bitty.

And cute.

These are precious. They are great for displaying/adding a punch of color to your kitchen and they are also great for individual desserts or dip bowls. Too cute!

When I saw these, I just had to have them. Yes, they are cute. Yes, they are small but that is exactly as advertised. I don't use them often because they are not necessarily a practical item but they do make me "smile."
