Pro: This cookware is beaiutiful, looks just like the original stuff I had in the 70's. It washes up very easily. I also love that I don't have to worry about flakes of teflon in the food!
Con: You have to remember that you need to turn down the heat some, or it will still stick! Also the handles that fit the old ones do not fit these new ones. And so far as I can see so far, nobody is making a new handle to fit these new models. I dearly miss the attachable handles so that you can use these as a pot with handle on one side.

Overall, I am thrilled to be able to get stovetop cookware again..and the new coating on the bottom, I suspect is to make sure that the reason they removed the original corningware stovetop from the production line doesn't happen again. (I did some research online a good while back and found out that some of the originals shattered during use on the stovetop). Anyway, I am doing the happy dance, holding onto my wonderful new cookware!

I was happy when I found that the old, do-everything Corningware was alive and well and available. I can cook rice on top of the stove, serve and refrigerate leftovers in the same dish. I made mac n' cheese last week. I cooked the white sauce and cheese on top the stove, poured in the macaroni and then baked in the oven. It was served in the same dish and leftovers in the fridge. I should also mention that clean up easy.

April 23, 2014 There seems to be confusion as to the size of these Corningware pieces. It would take a little math to convert dimensions to quarts so I did the following. I have an old 1 quart Cornflower Blue dish and I filled it with water and poured the water into the smaller of these. It took two fill-ups. I used a 1 quart measuring cup for the larger one. 4 quarts filled it to the top. So I would say the size of these dishes are 2 quarts and 4 quarts.

Four quarts is big for most families, but don't forget you can cook on the top of your stove...like boiling water for pasta. When I make soup for the two of us, I will use this. I cook the soup, serve in the same dish at the table, refrigerate it and reheat it again all in one pan.

Equal parts nostalgia and appreciation of quality. I really do like these Pyroceram pieces.

Honestly I don't use them on the stove but the fact that I can use them there just reinforces my trust in them in my oven. I had a pyrex glass baking dish crack down the middle while removing it from my oven. It dumped glass and potatoes au gratin on the oven door, my leg and the floor. Since then I'm always leery taking taking glass from the oven.

That being said, I'm a lot less leery using these. As it is hard to buy "new" other sizes of this line. I have since purchased 3 other smaller pieces on ebay and amazon market place. All have been great. Interesting tidbit on the small pieces that usually don't have lids. They never came with lids. The small pieces are actually meant to have one flipped over on top of the other (handles at right angles) to serve one as the lid for the other.

Forgot how much I love these! Great for microwave and oven. So beautiful. Easy to use and easy to clean.

Both my wife and I grew up with our moms using this type of corningware. My wife inherited some of her mom's older pieces and what she really likes is the versatility of this cookware ESPECIALLY that it can be used on the rangetop!! Unfortunately, our adult daughter mishandled one of the old corningware dishes dropping it on the floor and breaking it into pieces. My wife was literally distraught and told us you cant find this type of corningware anymore. I said not to worry and went directly to Amazon, Found it and although not eligible for amazon prime, we ordered it. When my wife opened the box, the smile on her face was priceless. She was so happy that this is just like the one she lost and now she has a NEW 4 pc set. Should you buy it.......my wife quickly cleared space in our litchen cabinet for her new Corningware Pyroceram Blue Cornflower 4 pc set....nuff said!!

Needed a set for my daughter who loved the ones my mother always used and that I have now. She was so happy to get them.

As these are considered an antique, price was great compared to anywhere else you could find them

Toujours la même très bonne qualité.

Does Corning still make Pyroceram?

It became the trademark of Corning's products for three decades. But production of the original Pyroceram-based CorningWare products ceased in 2000. The brand was relaunched as a line of stoneware-based bakeware in 2001.

When did they stop making CorningWare?

As of early 2022, sales Pyroceram-based CorningWare were again discontinued in the USA but it continues to be sold in other regions of the world.

Is CorningWare OK on stove top?

Unsafe for Corningware The Corningware company advises against use of its stoneware and ovenware dishes on the stove top. The dishes should also not be used in the oven's broiler. Doing so could cause the dishes to break, resulting in personal injury.

Is CorningWare and Pyrex the same?

Essentially, the main difference between Corningware and Pyrex is that Corningware tends to be smaller, and more aesthetically pleasing. No one wants to see grandma's gorgeously glazed holiday ham in a Pyrex dish; presentation is everything!
