| 89 of 98 people found the following review helpful  It breaks because it is only stoneware, not Corning pyroceram!, By Elly (NJ) – See all my reviews This review is from: CorningWare French White 7-Piece Bake and Serve Set (Kitchen) 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 an appearance yet. If you want it, email them and ask for it! Meanwhile, don’t buy this stuff. 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. 6 of 7 people found the following review helpful Lids are ill-fitting, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: CorningWare French White 7-Piece Bake and Serve Set (Kitchen) We’ve had ORIGINAL Corning French White items for over 30 years and these have stood the test of time. These aren’t those. This ‘Corning’ is actually just the purchased/leased trademark that World Kitchens is using (Jarden has done this with Sunbeam, etc, I believe) to ride on the coattails of the original Corning Glass Works quality reputation. These have the rubber/plastic covers, too, but the cover for the larger casserole is NOT sized properly to fit ‘airtight’ for effective containment. It is off measure by about 1/8th inch in the diameter – too big. This is also the same problem with the duplicate set I purchased. Also with the 7oz ramekin pair sold by Amazon, too. See that review, too. Not worth the money, unless you don’t care about using the rubber/plastic covers. We’re looking into Pyrex products for better satisfaction for our needs. Maybe Amazon should drop this company’s products to avoid disappointing its customers? 4 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Received with flaws but replaced, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: CorningWare French White 7-Piece Bake and Serve Set (Kitchen) The glass lids had chips and flaws. They were quickly replaced by a phone call to the supplied 800 customer service phone number. Very satisfied with the purchase. |
