I would not ever part with any of my old Corning Ware as long as I'm still cooking. All my Grab It bowls are in the dishwasher every day. I love the nice handle to safely transpirtt a hot bowl of soup to the table. It cleans up easily. If there is an old USA business that deserves to be revived, it's definitely Corning!

We got married in the 70's, and like most couples, we received a ton of Corning Ware as wedding presents, which we added to. In that it was the 1970's, ours was "The Spice of Life" design. My mother and my grandmother both had the "Blue Cornflower" design. When we built our first (and present) house in the early 1990s, we designed our new "modern" kitchen in shades of blue. One day, my mother visited us with her car trunk full of both (she had inherited her mother's), their collections of the "Blue Cornflower," and swapped out with me. I use several pieces of it every day. It still looks wonderful and is, as you stated, the best cookware ever!

Still have mine 😊 40 years and counting!

The old commercials had a jingle that said, "From the freezer, to the oven, to the table!"

Great video, thank you. The blue flower one reminds me of happier/simpler times in the 80s.

Inherited all of my grandmother's corningware and love it!! The coffeepot still makes good coffee.

I have the exact same dish you took out of the microwave. I received it from my great aunt for a household shower right before I married. I still use it 54 years later.

I have pieces 51years old given to me as wedding gifts. Use every week. I have bought up pieces from yard sales, thrift shops, and estate sales in the last few years. Love it!

To remove any metal stains from any kind of ceramic you just have to use cream of tartar and a damp sponge. It works all the time

I have this set and I have used it for longer than I care to say. Its still the BEST EVER

I use mine daily. I have the vegetable ones. I also have the serving/mixing bowls that I serve side dishes in. They are all in the colors of fall. Brown and red. I also have the ones that have handles that flare out.they were hand-me-downs and I still use them and love them.

Here is a fact you probably don't remember about your very OLD Mummie. In the 60's I worked at General Electric Major Appliance Division in Vernon, CA. For a time & as a special promotion, a 3-piece set of the very NEW, exciting Corning Ware was packaged in their ovens. To this day, I USE my set! In fact, the oval meat platter graced our table for a family dinner last Sunday!

I recently started using the Corningware that I grew up using. I was "holding it" for my mom who has aged and lost interest in cooking - which is no problem for me, I'm happy to use the pieces. I remember what we cooked in the pieces and look forward to showing my husband why this stuff is the best! Thanks for sparking my interest in taking them out more often!

My first Corningware had the garden veg graphic. That's when i learned that baking soda is the perfect cleaner for Corningware. I later acquired the white, and I now treasure my first MIL's 3 quart cornflower casserole.

Have several pieces of original Corningware and also the handle! After seeing this, I’ll use it more often.😊

The vintage Corning ware is the best I don’t understand why they stopped making it.

Very informative. Well spoken. Very pleasant. Thank you.

Fantastic historical presentation. So informative. Thank you and God bless you, Chef Matt!

I have six pieces of this vintage cookware from tiny to large and I love it! It is decades old!

Thank you for the info! I just acquired some corningware from the thrift store and I love them! Thank you

Enjoyed your video and loving your shirt😊 I am glad you showed up on my feed !

Love these....have a bunch that I inherited from my late mother-in-law

We have several pieces we use nearly every day. Wonderful stuff.

I had no idea it was this versatile. Man have I been missing out. I have this at home too.

I loved your video! Great information. Thanks for the cleaning tips too! I have my mother's corning ware from the early 60's and have bought pieces for myself over the years at thrift stores and antique malls. I use it every day.

Wow.......!!! great video after I watch your video, I am also fan of Vintage CorningWare. Thank you so much for showing the value and great usage of this product!

I totally agree with you! I collect and constantly use my vintage Cornflower Blue pieces. 💙

What a fun video and really informative. I pulled out my early-grandmother and early-thrift-store 9 pieces and checked the bottoms. The square-ish ones had the Corning name under the handles and one turned out to be Pyrex (so sad). None were of the blue cornflower variety, so now I want some like that. Thank you for another super-great video!

We purchased a house in Connecticut 32 years ago and the builder left a huge set in the cabinet for us. (the one with the veggies on it). I really only used the smaller ones and donated the majority several months ago when we moved. I didn't know of the versatility or history, so thanks. I hope someone else will enjoy them to their fullest.

Bravo! I love Corningware! Using it is a joy for me since the 1970s. Your passion for and appreciation of this fantastic cookware is contagious. Thanks for educating others on the genius of this American invention.

I love that you love this vintage cookware! I have my collection all bought from my neighborhood Fleamarket’s. Love the blue logo. I still look for finds on items, shapes that I don’t have. They have the clear amber cookware meant specifically for stovetop. They are beautiful and lasts a lifetime. I have no doubts when buying them as I find them.

Here in Australia we still have the Corning Ware branded shops which sell a range of products including brand new Corning Ware items such as these "vintage items"- yes they are a bit more expensive but not too bad compared to the stoneware etc. You can even buy replacement lids separately etc. I shopped there only a few months ago. They had updated their recommendations decades ago that you never place a very cold item onto a hot stove or barbeque because it can explode, as has happened to many people. I also have some original pieces passed down from my mother and that she purchased and gave me as a wedding gift. I have more recently bought them to give as wedding gifts to others. And I often use mine in the microwave,

Great video, thanks for sharing the history of these wonderful products. I received my first set of Corning Ware as a wedding gift in 1976. It is the classic three-piece casserole set, and I still have and use it today. In addition, I have picked up many pieces at thrift stores over the years, including one massive square casserole (with lid!) and assorted other pieces. I stick to the blue cornflower as it remains my favorite.

My Corningware is the best!! I have had some for 50 years and it still looks new. Have some of my mother's also. Always on the lookout for more!! Thank you for this post.

I have a set of 3 casserole dishes I got as a wedding gift in 1976. Still use them a few times a week.

Thanks, Chef Matt!

Thank you this very informative video. I just LOVE my Corning Ware…. But I never knew I could use it on my stovetop ! And it just so happens I purchased two complete square pots today…so my dinner is on the stovetop 😀 I have been collecting so many of these items….I will add more to my collection now😍

I have used this for over 40 years, and it is the very best! Easy to clean, efficient and pretty.

Great video. I have lots of Corning Ware and I never knew you could cook with in on the stovetop. Thanks so much. 😊

Hi I'm Brenda I'm new I just picked up several great corningware pieces thru online auction was surprised to find one of the percolator was electric. Doesnt look as though it's been used. I typed in cooking on range top with corning ware and your video popped up. It was so helpful to me! Thank you for such valuable INFO! Enjoy your day!😊

Wow! Ty Ty ty! I inherited my great aunts set( so many pieces!) but I never knew it could go directly from freezer to oven! Oh my Ty aunt Trudy! Can’t wait to cook come thing up in them! Or pre plan some dinners!

I only have 1 or 2 pieces with lids and handles and I sure wish they were still made today. I agree with you. Best cookware ever made!

Thank you for the info on how to distinguish between vintage and newer, as I have both. Very helpful and informative.

Bonjour, je suis française et chez nous nous avons Arcoflam fabriqué à Arques. J’ai encore les miennes que je me suis achetées en 1976 et qui sont encore impeccables et blanches, les carrés avec des couvercles. Je les entretiens soigneusement, les passe au four et sur la gazinière. Bien sûr, mes décors sont différents des vôtres, mais les produits sont jumeaux. Nous avons aussi les Pyrex, des incontournables ! J’ai regardé votre vidéo avec grand plaisir 🤩😍

So interesting! This all clad snob is rethinking my cookware!!

Hi Matt! Was reading an article in OC Register today about the new EV VW Bus, and I recognized your name from the many years you wrote for OCR. Miss your columns in the OCR. WOW! It’s been a long time since you departed OCR, seems like yesterday! When I Googled your name this is how I found out about your KZfaq channel on cooking. My Mom always had Corning Ware in the kitchen, and for a time, I had Corelle plates, bowls, etc. They are practically indestructible as you elude to! I see that Corelle Ware and Corning Ware were sort of interchangeable in their descriptions. And YES, I have seen ALOT of vintage Corning and Corelle in Antique stores, very moderately priced. Some at bargain prices too!! Very easy to get a set going just by Antiquing, yard sales, eBay, Etsy, and thrift stores. Thanks Matt for your informative videos and again, as a car guy, miss your column at OCR!!

I am still using the Grab-It bowls I got for a wedding gift in 1979. Over the years I have inherited my mother's, and other elder relatives. I have a generous collection of the covered dishes in various sizes........some of it with the spice design, some with the blue flowers, some plain white. I use it all and love it all!

Great video!! I love my Corning Ware!! I even use the daily dinner plates, soup bowls, saucers, & cups! They are my daily use plates of choice!! Nothing beats them!! Loved all your information!!

I have my mothers and grandmothers stuff and love them. Any time I see some in a thrift store I buy it.

I have two Corningware casserole dishes in the iris pattern (so pretty) that I got as a wedding gift in 1981. I use them all the time and they still look brand new. Best cookware ever!

I absolutely love my Corning Ware❤. I bought many pieces at thrift stores since i was first married in 1985. Paid only a few dollars for each of them. I use them nearly every day. They are harder to find now. So glad i bougt them when i did. For Christmas my daughter got me the blue cornflower corningware piggy bank. It is ADORABLE❤❤❤. Thank you for this video

Hi Matt I love Corning Ware - I still have mine from 1975 from high school Graduation! ❤

I have 6 cereal boils with Glass and plastic lids, a set of 3 Square casseroles with glass lids, a small round skillet without a lid because it broke, 😞 (those lids do break) and a small sauce pan with glass lid. And I love them!! Have had those since the70, 80 and 90s! and YES, all the things you said are truths!

I have a large collection of MADE IN THE USA cornflower blue that I inherited from my beloved MIL. Most of it has glass lids and some has plastic lids too. The more I use it the more I appreciate it. It’s amazing!

Thank you for the information. I did not know you could place it on range.

I have several pieces of that wheat set!! Love them

Wow, I thought it was just 'grandma' stuff but I didn't know it was so versatile. I'll keep searching for All-Clad, but now that I know, Classic Corning is on the list. Informative video and makes any thrifting outing seem more like a worthy prospect. 👍

I am excited waiting for an episode on Visions! I loved those pots and the frying pans! Years ago, I sold my set and have regreted it ever since!

This was my cookware when we were married in 1972. I kept burning my hands on it, but soon learned to use hotpads, lol.

I love Corning! I’m always on the lookout at Goodwill for pieces.

Using the VISION double boiler over direct flame gave me a good chuckle. I’m at a bit over a dozen pieces (VISION only) currently myself, not counting lids. :)

I have used my original Corning-made Corning Ware for over 60 years, and it is still my favorite! I use it every day! I received a few pieces as wedding gifts and bought more when my husband worked for Corning Glass 15 years later. Cook in it, and it looks nice on the table! It’s tough, but easy to clean. I wish Corning still made it. The knock-offs aren’t the same.

I'ma steal your t shirt!! 💙🤍 Also, I inherited my mom's CorningWare including her Cornflower Blue pieces from the early 60s plus the French vegetable ones from the late 70s. Now, anytime I go to a thrift store I buy whatever CorningWare I find. I wish I bought the dainty Iris print ones in the late 80s/early 90s. 😢

My vintage Corningware were very hard to clean with much soaking scrubbing!! I bought Emile Henry (French bakeware) and it cleans like a dream with NO scrubbing!!

My mom Had this set when I was young. I wish I had this again!

Aww I’ve got those exact ones. 4 different sizes. Love them

I just searched for corning plates on Amazon, and almost immediately this video appeared in my KZfaq suggestions. What a coincidence.😊

I absolutely adore my Corning!

Love Corningware. I have pieces, must look for more.

Oh, I've got one of those smaller white dishes with the blue flowers on the side. When we emigrated from the UK to Canada, my husband came first and he went to thrift stores to find stuff for the place he was renting before I and all the items in our home arrived. One of those was the dish. We came in 2006 and the dish is still going strong. I didn't realise what it was called, nor that it was so popular. I do put it in the oven and in the micro.

Very interesting ! Thank You

I have a kitchen full of old Corning and Pyrex products. The new stuff is really quite awful, but those vintage pieces are brilliant, and I use many of them daily.

Great video. Thank you.

I absolutely love this stuff. Well, the old stuff my mom had😢 But used is perfect!

My Mamaw got the Cornflower Corningware as gifts, occasionally. We still have all those pieces! We also have a few of the small Autumn designs. I have a few pieces of the amber pots and pans. I bought more of the Cornflower pieces at an estate sale! We love these, they are pretty and useful!

I bought quite a few when I went to US in 1984, had to buy a Samsonite suitcase to bring all back home to U.K. I still use these and they look as good as new.

Thank you for making my vintage Corning ware collection look highly reasonable in amount 🤣. Mine were all from an estate sale and still work great.

Still have my pieces that were wedding gifts in 1969…including the clamp-on handles. I still use them frequently!

Thank you so very much! I am On It!!

One of my best purchases ever.

Love this!!

Absolutely use it. Most is pretty old and as good as new!!!

When I was married my parents gifted me a beautiful set of white CorningWare. I still use it after 42 years. I also was able to pick up vintage pieces from thrift stores. It's my most treasured and used cook and bakeware.

Wow incredible product ❤

I treasure my vintage white and blue collection more than 60 pieces coffee pots and tea pots pie plates ect I love them

I don't know how to cook (hence why I'm visiting this channel!) but I ran across Corningware in my local thrift store and I couldn't stop myself from buying it...I find it so incredibly beautiful! I now have quite the collection. I'm determined to cook more at home, so I'll finally have these as more than just decoration 😂

Corning glass products are amazing. I have some of the old Corning bake/cook ware, but I also really like the Corelle dishes, bowls, plates, etc. which seem to be made of the same amazing stuff. They are very light, don't break easily and take up less room in the cupboard. Good for the tiny house folks. I just added a few of the dinner bowls to my collection which are like a flat bowl/plate thing with sides that come up so you can eat sitting on the couch in front of the TV. These dishes are reasonably priced and easy to get online or at Walmart. Just a few years ago there was still a "Kitchen Connection" store in the local outlet mall that sold all kinds of Corning. I guess they are just so damn durable they killed themselves off.

0:00 I was there. 😂 I don’t cook, but I love the stuff. So many shrimp/crabmeat casseroles. 😌

can't wait for the video about the brown glass ones. We just got a 15 piece set for $80. Need to learn about it!

Thank you for the info, now l know what l can use them for. 👍👍

Loved and used Corningware since first married @ 23, now 71! I’m looking for the blue cornflower and plain white pieces. 😊

I’m glad I have some vintage My first was 1973 & still use it

I inherited my mother’s set. It is amazing cookware.

I am new here. I tell you, the vintage cooking supplies are all the rage. I’m loving every minute of it! I got really into the by watching Anna from “Cooking the Books”, another great KZfaq channel. Question: how are you restoring your items from the thrift stores? Do you have an episode on that or are willing to make one? New subbie btw.

I have the 1 3/4 qt with the blue flowers and I use it to bake my personal sized loaf of sourdough bread... it it absolutely perfect and much easier to use than a cast iron dutch oven 😀

My mother had the pot you pulled from the microwave. Macaroni on Thanksgiving Day comes to mind whenever I see it. It's still in rotation these forty plus years later. Who knows how long she had it before then.

I have had a few pieces of CorningWare for years and never knew it could be used on top of the stove. BTW, I tried your way of making creme fraiche and love it. I never tried it before. Also, still working on the thrift store video I promised. (aka Saintrude :-)

I have been using my original wedding gift set of corning wear for over 40 years! It is amazing…cook on stove top, move it into oven, store leftovers in refrigerator, rehear in microwave! You can find this kind of “old” corningware in antique shops now, but each piece costs a lot! But still worth it 😁

I love mine that I got 47 years ago, and some of my moms. That I inherited when she passed away!

my late mom had this...including the clamp-on handle! haven't seen it in decades, though ...i have the "new" 2-piece that was mentioned, but haven't opened it yet
