The size of these mussels is perfect for me. The small on-bottom elevation surprised at first but is actually not embarrassing. The important thing is that my tarts Quick release easily, and this is the case. The biggest problem, and I have discovered that reception is that they do not go in the dishwasher. In time, I might forget and thus damaging them. Honestly, they are fine, but if I had seen earlier, they were banned from LV, I would not have taken them.
