ReviewMost 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 2-1/2-quart oval baking dish is idealisti 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 it is lid). The dish itself has no handles; however, it is impressive 10-year warranty (one year on the glass lid) more than compensates for this shortcoming. –Ariel Meadow Stallings

No handles
By anonymous
Very good, durable, nice-looking product but no handles – very slippery to get out of the oven.

Nice cooking piece and serving
By Nancy M Fazio
It’s great to cook and serve in one dish. We even store the leftovers right in the casserole. Just remember to tell the kids it’s hot when it comes out of the oven. Dishwasher safe.

Not your Grandmother’s CorningWare
By Zack Davisson
Once upon a time CorningWare was a name you could trust. Their unique pyroceramic glass cookware was almost indestructible, being devised from materials used for the nose cones of ballistic missiles. It was true “Space Age Technology” that could go directly from the stovetop into the refrigerator with nary a crack. A single CorningWare dish was said to have a lifespan of 1,000 years.

This was seen as a problem when the CorningWare brand was bought by World Kitchens Incorporated in 2001. They didn’t want to sell you a dish every 1,000 years, they wanted the dishes to break so you would have to buy new ones. And so the pyroceramic formula was discontinued, and regular white-glazed stoneware was sold under the CorningWare brand.

Which is what we have here. This “CorningWare 2.5-qt. Oval Casserole with Lid – French White” is a fine, serviceable casserole dish that will bake up some tasty things in your oven. It has a classic design, and does just what it is supposed to do. No real complaints in that department. If all you are looking for is an inexpensive, temporary casserole dish, then this will fit the bill.

It just isn’t really CorningWare. This casserole dish is designed to break, and it will eventually. Try and use it on your stovetop, or the extreme temperature changes that have become the hallmark of the brand, and it will shatter. Something to be aware of if you are buying this for the brand.
