For the 50th anniversary of CorningWare, World Kitchen gave us CorningWare StoveTop, a revival of Pyroceram cookware in patterns ranging from Just White to the familiar Blue Cornflower.
For the 60th, well, see the link.
Blue Cornflower, yes. Pyroceram, no. Stoneware. One-year warranty, void if you put it on the stove or under the broiler, i.e.: all the places the original Blue Cornflower could go. Dumb move because people associate the Blue Cornflower with Pyroceram or even, as I found in the kitchen of a vacation rental, white cast aluminum and thus stovetop-safe. Strange piece, that was.
Back to the present. Only a matter of time until someone mistakes one for the other and, ka-BLAM! Lawsuit! CLICK HERE TO GO TO joeekaitis's LINK |

In all humility, your humble CorningWare junkie's suggestion of a product line called InSight (classic square CorningWare made from Visions amber vitroceramic) would have been a great way to observe the 60th.
Heard nothing after the obligatory "Thanks, we'll pass it along to the right people" email. C'est la vie! |

I thought that people knew that anything from world kitchens was cheap drek. There is enough Pyroceram cookware to last until the end of the world, some of it still NIB. |

But it is so great for microwaving. I guess youngsters use disposable stuff. Dishwasher loads always include Corning Ware. |

I am still using Corningware and Pyrex that my mother got as a wedding present in 1950.
On the older Corning the design hasn't faded even through all these years of automatic dishwashing. Now some of the newer stuff from the 70s and 80s, the design has faded. Same with Correll ware, I can't give you an estimate of how many times they have gone through the machine. They are our daily use dishes so some piece or another is being washed almost daily. |
