- 9 x 13 dish, 8 x 8 dish, pie plate, bowl, round casserole
A five-piece set can look skimpy next to an eight-piece box, but the pieces here are the ones that earn their space: a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, an 8-by-8-inch square, a 9.5-inch deep pie plate, a 2-quart mixing bowl, and a 2-quart round casserole with a glass cover. That mix covers a weeknight dinner, a batch of brownies, a pie, and a serving bowl without asking you to store three near-duplicates.
We think that breadth is what makes it the best default here. The 9-by-13 and 8-by-8 are the workhorses for casseroles and sheet cakes, while the round casserole gives you a piece that looks presentable at the table and can go into the fridge with its glass cover. The mixing bowl is the sleeper piece: it is not bakeware, but it earns its place for stirring batter before it goes into the square dish.
Like any glass set, it asks for ordinary care: avoid moving a hot dish onto a cool wet surface, and retire any piece that chips. We appreciated the clear sides for checking browning and the simple dishwasher cleanup; the set feels like a starter collection that can grow with you rather than a box of duplicates.
What We Like
- Covers core baking sizes plus a bowl
- Round casserole has a glass cover
- Clear glass makes browning easy to check
Worth Noting
- Only one piece includes a cover
We recommend this as the best all-around set for a first glass bakeware collection: it covers the core baking sizes and adds a covered round casserole without clutter.
