DIMENSIONS: for anyone else, like me, who is interested in the INTERNAL dimensions, they are as follows.The bottom of both tins fit the 35.5 × 23 cm MasterClass Smart Ceramic Cool and Roast Rack - MCCER08GRY perfectly. It's not a tight fit, but neither can you expect to get anything between the sides of the tin and the edge of the rack. The track sits ~2 cm high with its feet folded, and ~5 cm high with them open.The height of the main tin from the base to it's lower lip is ~8 cm, as is the height of the "lid" tin from its base to its top. This means when placed together, the interior is approximately 16 cm high.REVIEW:I purchased this set, along with the rack mentioned above, and the MasterClass Smart Ceramic Large Baking Tray - MCCER07GRY. Had the "lid" tin been included in either the MasterClass Smart Ceramic 5-Piece Stackable Bakeware Set - MCCERBAKE5PC or the MasterClass Smart Space 7-Piece Non-Stick Nesting Baking Equipment Set - MCSPSBAKE7PC, I would have got the set, but alas it is not.First impressions are impressive. I cooked a 2.2 kg turkey crown, which just fitted height wise, with the rack in its high position. The turkey cooked perfectly using the lid for "self basting", and the grease that looked like it was burnt on just wiped off with a sponge under warm water.It seems like it will be hard wearing, but it's too early to tell. They claim to be dishwasher safe, but I'm always weary of that.The smart stacking system is very clever, and allows for the baking tray listed above to also be used as a lid. It will fit the main tin upside down or right side up, but it will only fit the "lid" tin upside down.I do have some minor niggles though.1. When stacked, the "lid" fits the main tin TOO well, and it's tricky to separate them. With the rack placed in the main tin with its legs folded, it raises the "lid" tin just enough to make them easier to separate without making it too tall.2. Not safe for use on the hob. It's not specified in the details, so I emailed Masterclass and they confirmed that while it might work, it would risk damaging the coating.3. The pouring spout, while a great idea in principle, is a little too shallow and awarkdly placed. A corner spout would've been better in my opinion.4. The dimples in the "lid" (and the above baking tray, to me, are the wrong way round, and should be more like the dimples in the base.5. Not a perfect seal. The pouring spouts are slightly different sizes between the 2 tins, and there isn't 1 on the bashing tray, meaning it doesn't completely seal.6. Doesn't come with a rack
