| 61 of 66 people found the following review helpful It’s not the Corningware you are probably thinking of–it’s only stoneware, By Elly (NJ) – See all my reviews This review is from: CorningWare French White 2 Piece 4-Quart Covered Oval Roaster (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 a reappearance 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. 24 of 30 people found the following review helpful Hard to clean!, By Jane “cjanetyp” (Washington, DC) – See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) This review is from: CorningWare French White 2 Piece 4-Quart Covered Oval Roaster (Kitchen) This is a good-sized dish that cooks food very well. However, it is REALLY REALLY hard to clean! Especially the lid. You have to scrub the heck out of the thing! 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful CorningWare 4-qt. Oval Roaster w/ Glass Cover (French White), By Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?) You can’t go wrong with CorningWare. Dishwasher safe, oven safe, freezer safe and microwave safe. I have several other pieces of CorningWare, but I wanted the roaster – it is perfect for whole hams, smaller turkerys, chicken – etc. Cooks beautifully, doesn’t stain – and you don’t need additional serving pieces, just bake and serve in the same dish. Plus, the French White line is a crisp white and is heavier than some of their other styles. |
