Plastic lids didn't fit our dishes
I just bought this set of CorningWare and to our dissapointment, the plastic covers were too small for both of the dishes. With a lot of effort - we were able to get one of the lids to fit, but there is no hope with the other one. It's unfortunate, because I thought the lids would come in handy for storing leftovers. Aside from the problem with the plastic lids - Corningware has continued to provide good quality dishware.
Glass lids perfect for microwave steam rice
These bowls, when used with the glass lids, are favorites for steam cooking in the microwave. They can even transform parboiled rice (like Uncle Ben's) into good tasting rice, if given enough boiling and steaming time in the microwave. Cooking in these bowls seems to take a little longer time in the microwave, compared to thinner bowls.
The bowls are thick, heavy stoneware, and somewhat break-resistant, but not as tough as your grandparent's Corningware. These are not made from the original Corningware materials that were used decades ago.
These bowls and glass lids are OK for conventional oven casseroles; and microwave use, and dishwasher and refrigerator. Of course the plastic lid cannot go in a regular oven. OK on top rack of dishwasher.
No handles at the sides of bowls. The top rim is slightly flared, but not enough to grasp as a handle. That is an advantage when nesting bowls for storage. On the other hand, it is tricky to grasp the hot...
classic set
Love this series of product. Arrived well protected. Despite concerns from previous reviews about storage lids-lids DO fit. Got these because one or both of these will fit in microwave.
