dangers of buying online
I was so excited to find a somewhat inexpensive 5 quart casserole in the Spice o' Life pattern. When I emailed the seller, she said the piece did not have cracks, chips or stains. But when I received the piece today, it had a small chip in the lid and a long stain on the handle. The stain might be removable, but I can't do anything about the chip. It's small and I could see how she missed it, but I've heard that once your glass piece has a chip in it, you can't use it anymore.
I'm not sure if this is true, but I may be in the market for a new lid =/ I've emailed the seller, so we'll see what she says. Other than those 2 things, the set is in good shape. I've been looking in my cookbook that I mentioned for a recipe to try out the larger casserole.
Also, I picked up these small plates from the local thrift store yesterday for $3 total. I was going to sell them, but they are stained pretty good, so I'll just keep them.
*Update* The seller gave me a partial refund, so I feel ok about it now.
Also, my Sidekicks came in and they are perfect. It's like they were never even used. They are a lot smaller than I was imagining, but I realized that I never actually read the measurements. Whoops. Oh well, they are still awesome. Now if only my toaster oven were big enough to fit them.
