There are no cracks or noticeable stains, but there are some minor scratches. It was very useful as it can be used for freezing, thawing, and serving at the table (3-way). It has a handle and is divided into three sections, so when feeding baby food, you can hold all the food (rice porridge, vegetables, protein, or fruit) in one hand without having to hold a plate, which was very convenient. The lids also made it very convenient for stacking in the freezer. I don't think I could have gotten through feeding twins baby food without this. Microwave and dishwasher safe. I'm already selling a set of four.
