This set has EVERYTHING! The minute the set arrived, I baked a quiche in the pie pan. Perfect! The crust cooked on the bottom - not always a guarantee with some pie pans. I left the quiche leftovers in the pan and put them into the refrigerator, then reheated the next day. Refrigerator to oven wasn't an issue at all. This week I'll use the baking pan for eggplant parm.
The little bowls are perfect for setting out measured ingredients, as the professional chefs do. Everything perfect, and to hand when needed. After the cooking is finished, there are containers of every size WITH LIDS!! Just right for left overs. The bowls are not just for storage, in my opinion. They'd be suitable for serving, as well. I use the middle-sized bowl for mixed nuts. The smaller bowls would be lovely to serve dessert for two. Or for one! Treat yourself as well as you treat company.
The pieces wash like a dream in the dishwasher. Or by hand in the sink, of course. I had no difficulty with baked food sticking to the pans, and they came out looking just like new. The pieces are sturdy, so I wasn't a bit afraid of chipping if they bumped against each other when I was washing them.
The only issue I have is storage. There are LOTS of pieces to this set! Of course, if you're buying a 30-piece set, you probably already have an idea where you'll store it. The bowls nest, smaller ones in larger ones. But, except for the smallest sauce or ingredient bowls, the bowls of the same size do NOT nest in each other. Each will require shelf space.
