Cheap Corning Vision Visions Amber 1.5 L Saucepan with Lid

Customer Ratings:

I love Corning Visions cookware because it is very versatile. It can be used in all of the places in your kitchen you don't need to keep using extra dishes. They can be use on the stove top, in the oven, in the microwave, in the refrigerator or in the freezer. You can cook your meals in them and actually see them cooking in without having to open a lid to check. This is great because you can see all the way to the bottom to make sure the food is cooking evenly and not burning or scorching, etc..

And this cookware is so beautiful you can serve it in them, and then put any leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer right in the pot or pan!

This is because they are not just made out of glass, but a unique glass/ceramic mixture that is highly heat resistant. You can't do that with other glassware and you can't use metal pots in the microwave or oven.

Another awesome thing about them is that since they are glassware, you don't have to worry about metallic compounds leeching into your food like from metallic pots. Also, it never stains. And because it's glassware, it transmits the heat more efficiently, so you can cook at about 25 degrees less than you would in metal.

A neat and interesting fact: In the original commercial for Corning Visions, they took an aluminum saucepan and melted it in a Corning Visions Saucepan at over 1560 degrees F to show the incredible temperatures this cookware can withstand! Pretty awesome (though I wouldn't recommend trying this at home!) :)

Even though this glass is highly resistant to thermal shock, there exists a possibility that it can break or shatter if it is handled improperly. There are some simple things you can do to help make sure your Corning Visions last. Some of them are:

1). When you use a Visions pot/pan on the stove, make sure to place it

on the cold burner and turn on the burner don't put a cold

visions pot/pan on a hot burner. This allows the glass to expand

slowly as the burner heats-up instead of [too] rapidly.

2). When you use them in the oven, make sure you allow your oven to

preheat to the desired temperature first and then place it in the

oven. The reason for this is that the if you put the visions on

a rack that too close to the heating element, the potential for

thermal shock and damage to the glass exists.

3). When you take a Hot Visions pot/pan off of the stove or out of the

oven, place it on a dry towel or pot holders avoid placing it

directly on a cold surface like cold burners or the kitchen

counter this could cause the glass to contract too rapidly.

4). If you chip or crack a Visions item, you should not use it anymore.

A chip or crack is a weak spot and could break/expand when heated

and/or cooled.

** These are simple rules that make sense, and are not hard to follow. And once you get into these habits, it's completely second-nature.

Why would anyone want to cook in a glass pot?!!!!! Got one as a gift years ago, put it on the gas with too little water in it, and it literally exploded into tiny shards that scattered all over me and the kitchen. I was fortunate not to have been scalded or injured by jagged glass chips. There was evidently not enough water in the pot to absorb the heat, and the glass expanded and shattered with a loud crack that scared the hell out of me! Do not use this line of "cookware" ! No serious cook would consider it. Google "Danger Vision Cookware", or "Exploding Vision Cookware"! You'll be afraid (and rightly so) to use this crap for anything more than to catch a drip from a leaky ceiling!
