Corningware for me. That stuff is borderline indestructible. All the other stuff I have bought over the years is broken, chipped, etc. But that older corningware. Good stuff. Even the shape makes everything stack nice and compact. My mom and dad have gone thru 3 or 4 sets of other stuff. A couple of other sets for me. But this stuff...
- CarbyAu 6y agoI too am a fan of Corningware. The shapes and weights suit me. It practically defines the concept of a bowl for me. But I note you said "borderline indestructible". Not just "indestructible". Which means I have found a fellow victim of ceramic shard explosion! They take a beating, but when they go, they go big!
- sumtechguy 6y agoTrue story: My Aunt: "These are unbreakable" My Dad: "They look nice" My Aunt: "watch this" yeeets a casserole dish on the floor... It was quite the mess. The tea cups for me are hit or miss if they will survive. I think it has to do with the shape. Everything else is very tough.
- CarbyAu 6y ago"yeeets a casserole dish on the floor" ... you brought me to tears with laughter! :-) Thank you, I needed that.
