CorningWare
© Copyright 2010. Do not copy. All rights reserved and enforced.CorningWare is a glass material that cooking dishes are made of. Electric stovetops are also made from it.
Most CorningWare can be used on both the stovetop and in the oven. Just check the bottom; if it is stovetop safe, it will say so on the bottom.
It can also be used in microwaves.
It is opaque; you can't see through it, like Pyrex. The classic pattern is white, with a blue cornflower pattern on it.
There is no CorningWare in the UK; it never made it across the pond. There is, however, Pyrex.
CorningWare was invented accidentally by a Dr Donald Stookey in 1953. He overheated a piece of "Fotoform" glass, and called the new glass "pyroceram."
It was introduced commercially in 1958 by the Corning Glass Works.
