Product Description
Here we note that while the lids are still made of tempered glass, the dishes themselves are now constructed from stoneware. They still have the same classic styling that easily moves from oven to table, and here you have a complete set of baking dishes you'll use time and time again. Still oven, microwave and dishwasher-safe, Corningware manages to arrive at the dining table looking elegant and unruffled by whatever might have transpired in the kitchen.

4 out of 5 stars Sturdy and beautiful   March 6, 2010
Mom (KC MO)
This is a lovely set of kitchenware. I was warned that this Corning Ware wasn't as sturdy as the older Corning Ware but I have been really impressed with all of the pieces. We use them a lot (3 kids)and run them through the dishwasher over and over. They have stayed looking nice and fresh. The sizes are really convenient and the lids work really well. We found this to be a very practical and attractive set. It was also well priced! A great deal!


1 out of 5 stars The lids do not fit   January 29, 2010

My wife and I received this item as a bridal shower gift. They sat for a year while we lived in a small apartment, and we were excited to finally use them. Well, as we used each peice, we began to realize that none of the lids fit properly. For us, the whole purpose of getting these was to store leftovers without having to use plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Well, unfortunately, we still have to use plastic wrap or aluminum foil. What a waste.

Update:

When I contacted customer service to explain that the ldis do not fit, I received the following email:

Dear Chris,

The glass covers the come with our Corningware casseroles are not designed to seal. They are designed to sit along the rim / lip of the dish. If the dish shifts or is tilted to the side the cover may slide off. There will be a variance between the glass cover and the dish and this allows for ventilation so that a vacuum seal does not occur.

For further assistance, please contact our Consumer Care Center at 800-999-3436. Representatives are available from 8am to 6pm Monday through Thursday and 8am to 5pm on Friday, EST, and will be more than happy to assist you.

Sincerely,
April
World Kitchen Consumer Care Center

Now, don't get me wrong; I was not looking for these to form a seal. I am a reasonable person. I do, however, expect the lids to fit somewhat properly, and not slide off if the dish is shifted, as the customer service representative suggests will happen. So, I suppose, by this customer service representative's own admission, you should only use the lids if the dish is not going to be moved at all, or you risk the cover sliding off. Save yourself the headaches, and buy something that is made with quality in mind, from a company that has even the slightest desire to see that their customers are satisfied.

But don't buy this.



4 out of 5 stars Broken piece   December 15, 2009
Linda Barksdale (NF., NY)
I purchased the set as a gift for Christmas. I needed the pieces for a party which I was catering. When I opened the box, one of the pieces was shattered! The piece on the top was fine and the piece below was not damaged. I did not bother to return it as I was going on vacation and did not want to stand in line for the return. I just accepted the loss!

In spite of the broken piece--it was a good deal!

I bought this product based on the years of use I got out of several pieces given to me when I first moved out of the house and got my own apartment. I didn't bother reading any reviews as I thought I was familiar with the product. Boy, was I wrong. This new stuff ain't your mother's cookware. I read the reviews After buying it. When the item arrived I quickly opened it and saw it now says Stoneware and Made in China. The older pieces I have say Corning Ware on it, were made in USA, and look like milk glass, thinner than this new, heavy white stoneware.
The name on the box says Corning Ware, a name you can trust, but its not the special tempered glassware I thought I was buying. Its corning ware in name only. I'm returning it. I really feel cheated.



1 out of 5 stars Pretender ware!   November 28, 2009

This is not the original CorningWare, do not be fooled by this pretenderware. The original could go on the stovetop, the oven, the refrigerator and the freezer. This product is cheap and worthless. Do not buy!!!
