CorningWare Pyroceram was always ahead of its time. When it was introduced in 1958, it's possible no one at Corning, Inc. would have thought its radio-transparent nature would predict the home microwave oven. The only place you can't use it is on an induction cooktop without some sort of heat-producing interface.
Reintroduced in 2008 by World Kitchen, Inc., the new StoveTop collection was an immediate hit, but for a few, that blue cornflower decoration might seem a tad out of place in a shiny digital-era chrome and stainless kitchen. Just White solves that dilemma with the same ever-modern shape and no decoration at all. CorningWare collectors will recognize the 2-liter pan as one of the shapes that would have been called a skillet back when CorningWare was introduced, while the 3-liter was called a saucepan back then.
Now made in France with US-made Pyrex lids, this set and its Blue Cornflower partner are ready to make the same culinary journeys from stovetop to freezer to oven to broiler, with side trips to the microwave.
With a little care, they'll look brand new and still ahead of their time on CorningWare's 100th anniversaryIt's great to be able to use Corningware on the stovetop again after these years of only the bakeware which could not be used.
