Amazon.com Review
Most of us have become masters of multitasking--answering phones, checking e-mail, and reading simultaneously, and Corningware follows suit with dishes designed for the microwave, oven, tabletop, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Corningware's French White bakeware combines the functionality of classic designs with contemporary styling. This 1-1/2-quart round baking dish is ideal for pastas, casseroles, or meats, and features a glass lid with an easy-to-grasp handle (but as with all Corningware and other ceramic or glass bakeware, you'll always need to use potholders when handling the dish or its lid). The dish itself has no handles; however, its impressive 10-year warranty (one year on the glass lid) more than compensates for this shortcoming. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

 Worthless for stated purpose March 12, 2010

The glass lid doesn't sit securely on the dish either right side up or upside down so you can't move the dish with the lid on. There aren't any handles on the dish -- not even a slight protrusion -- making it impossible to hold the dish in one hand unless you're willing to support the bottom of the dish with your fingers and fold your thumb over the edge and into the interior of the dish. I don't recommend that if the contents happen to be a hot casserole or if your dinner guests are finicky about hygiene.
 Love this dish... November 13, 2009

Bought this to replace one that broke, could not beat the price anywhere.
Love it, use it almost every day.
Love the casserole dish August 24, 2009

We purchased this dish to replace one that had broken and just love it. It is just the right size for a small casserole. With all but one of our children gone, we don't need as large a casserole as we did before. The quality is excellent and we expect many good years of service from this dish.
It's not the original Corningware pyroceram & will break August 8, 2009

The original "French White" Corningware was made of Corning's famous pyroceramic glass, which could be used on the gas stove, put directly in the freezer, put under the broiler right from the freezer, and oh yes, also used in a microwave. And it was very unlikely to shatter if dropped. If you pounded on it with a hammer and nail you might have gotten it to break.
When World Kitchens bought the license from Corning, they decided to halt production of a line of cookware that would take anything and last forever, and dupe customers, especially brides, into thinking the stoneware "French White" was the same thing as the wonderful French White pyroceramic cookware previously available to their mothers and sisters.
The pattern is very attractive and can be used with any decor, and they do offer many sizes, but this stuff is not, repeat, really not, what people mean when they say "Corningware."
Le Creuset can do most of the above mentioned, but it being metal you cannot use it in the microwave. Stoneware cannot go on top of the stove, and repeated trips from the freezer to the oven will eventually cause it to craze and crack. And stoneware will also chip, and break if dropped, etc. Pyrex glassware cannot go on the gas stove although you can take it from the freezer to the oven, and also microwave it.
The only product which could do anything was pyroceramic, and World Kitchens has chosen to remove it from the market because it is "too good."
They have recently brought back a few of the old square shapes, with the Cornflower, or plain white, calling it "vintage," but the French White shape is not making a reappearance yet. If you want it, email them and ask for it!
Meanwhile, get Le Creuset for cooking and roasting (yes it is expensive but it lasts forever and cooks beautifully), and reheat things in Pyrex in the microwave.

I have been using corningware daily for at least 5 years with great results. Once in a while you come across a product which works so well that you want everyone to know about it. This is one such product.
