CorningWare French White 15-Ounce Grab-It Dish with Cover Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)OVERALL: This product is a solid workhorse. I have six, and they are favorites for convenient storage of leftovers. They stack and are durable. Unlike plastic, the stoneware cleans completely and does not transfer odors. The size is right for 2 normal servings (~1 cup) or one super-sized serving (15 oz.) which can be frozen or reheated in the same container.
If this CorningWare's Grab-It dish still came with the original version's glass lid, it would definitely rate five stars. The current version, however--despite Amazon's product description, which mentions glass AND plastic lids--now comes with a single (opaque) plastic lid. Handy enough, but not as durable as the glass lid or as convenient.
FOR WORK: No one would expect a spillproof seal from the glass lid. I wouldn't count on it with this plastic lid, either. If you are taking something to eat at work that contains even a small amount of liquid, consider leaving this lid at home, and covering the Grab-It with Press N Seal or a similar film--you can poke a few holes in it to vent when reheating it. If you want to use the Grab-It cover, pretest it by filling with water and holdng it at an angle. The manufacturing tolerance for the lid vary. Yours may or may not leak.
AT HOME: For storage of leftovers at home, the glass lids were superior: You could see the contents. For this version, you may want to mark the date on the side using a whiteboard marker to avoid those ghastly green surprises when you clean out the refrigerator. You can also simply use a plastic film, but then you can't stack it.

This shallow 15-ounce dish is ideal for making individual desserts like crème brulee, serving and storing nuts, or keeping leftovers fresh. Made from sturdy glazed stoneware, it is durable enough to go from freezer to oven and stylish enough to look good on the table. A tight-fitting plastic lid keeps food covered in the fridge or freezer, and the lid features a large tab to make opening easy. The Grab-It dish is dishwasher safe and covered by a 10-year limited warranty.

CorningWare French White 15-Ounce Oval Dish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This dish is OK, but has a couple of issues:
- Cannot emphasize this enough: THINK ABOUT HOW SMALL 15 OUNCES REALLY IS!
It's not much. Even a can of prepared soup is 16 ounces. This is an individual serving size dish. I know they give you the dimensions...but they should call it a "single serving" dish or something, just to be clearer. If in doubt, get out a ruler and look at how small 7 x 5 inches is.
- The lid could be a lot better:
It would be nice if it was clear, or had a vent. As it is now, you have to position it carefully in the microwave so the dish does not "seal" while cooking (which will ruin it).
Also, the lid kind of "dips down" into the dish - it should be the opposite - "domed" - so you can fit a bit more food in. The concave shape means that if you fill the dish to the top, some will squeeze out when you seal it. Thus making it...well, more like a 14-ounce dish! :-)
- That being said, if all you want is a teeny dish to heat up a little bit of something for yourself, the quality is good and it will do the job.

CorningWare French White 1-3/4-Quart Loaf Dish Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The extra depth and weight of this loaf dish make it easy to let breads rise higher (without going over) and the stoneware makes it bake very evenly. It is easy to get stuff out (I use a little PAM).
I bought two and I am very pleased.
(Plus they are attractive enough to server in!)

CorningWare French White 2 Piece 4-Quart Covered Oval Roaster Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
