Libbey Bakers Basics Glass Casserole Dish Set with covers

These pie dishes are awesome! I love that I can feel comfortable cooking in these and not worry about lead or heavy metals in the glass. I had another set where that was a concern and the lids were made differently. These lids are very durable and actually seal to the top well so that more liquid contents don’t come out. They are the perfect size for any pies and stack easily for storage.

These are high quality, heavy duty, casserole dishes. What I like better about these than some others I've had in the past is that the handles are slightly larger and therefore easier to grip and hold. That makes a difference when you are pulling some heavy lasagna or other item out of the hot oven with potholders or gloves. The lid on the smaller dish on the set I ordered would not seal, no matter how much pressure I put on, the lid just popped off. Instead of returning the entire set through Amazon, I called customer service and told them about the problem with just the one item. After asking me to send them proof of purchase and some other information, I was surprised that they replaced it in two days! It was almost shocking how good and efficient customer service was in the day and age when it seems impossible to get customer service in many places. The replacement dish and lid were perfectly fine, so they all work great!

When my Libbey glassware arrived today and I unpacked the box, what a YUGE surprise! The three casseroles are really large and sturdy. I mean large. I am just delighted with this purchase and see many years of happy times cooking with them. Tonight, with some barbecue brisket sandwich leftovers, I reached for my usual plastic snap thingy. Then my eyes caught a glimpse of the smallest casserole with lid and I said: This would be SO much nicer! The brisket sandwich fit perfectly and will probably be a lot fresher tomorrow than if I had put it in my usual plastic storage container. And it looks so nice in the fridge. I hesitated buying these after reading some of the negative reviews about exploding glass casseroles. I don't plan on heating them up to high temperatures. I will use them to bake fruit desserts and will use Silpat liners under them. That should lower the temperature on the bottom a bit compared to putting it on a metal sheet pan or on the rack itself. Right? I will update this when I use them for the first time and report back. I can cook my side dishes the usual way and put them in the casseroles when they're done. Makes a beautiful presentation on the table, and my guests can see what's inside through the glass. The top will keep the food warm longer, too. I am just so happy I made this purchase. They arrived in great condition with no nicks and cracks. Very well packed. I will be showing them off this weekend. I am having some friends over for Chinese pork chops, Fried Rice and a Summer Berry Cobbler. Don't forget the sweet tea! My Red Zinger with Honey is always a hit. Just know my friends will be talking about my new Libbey glass casseroles and probably wanting to order some for themselves. Thank you Libbey and thank you Amazon. UPDATE: August 23, 2022 I love to bake inch-thick, center-cut, bone-in Pork Chops. I always marinate them (2) overnight in the fridge in large plastic baggies. I now marinate them in one of the Libbey glass casseroles and they turn out so much tastier. My pork chop marinade consists of numerous Chinese and Japanese oils. When I am ready to bake them (in my Le Creuset Kerala) all I have to do is pour out the liquid and clean it with soap and water. Sparkling clean. I am loving these casseroles more and more each day!

I was surprised that the weight of this casserole dish and I am pleased! Feels like it's good quality works well and as intended

The lids don’t snap on as securely as I’d like but they don’t snap on so tightly that they can’t be removed easily(had that issue with other dish/lids before). Suits my needs and the glass feels thick and durable. Hoping to get a lot of use of of these.

Love the midsize and small size because they fit in my toaster oven and are not too heavy. The large size barely fits, but it is too heavy, especially full of food.

This is well made...bigger than I was envisioning.

One of the best purchases I have made. I love having a lid to put on my pies and cheesecakes when I put them in the refrigerator. Love this purchase. I am so glad I bought them.
