I still think they should have called it CorningWare InSight. Don't know if they'll sell it in the USA. CLICK HERE TO GO TO joeekaitis's LINK |

We had a friend who considered Visions his dream cookware set back in the '80s when it was introduced. I think he finally got it, but after buying a brand new GE side-by-side with the fold-down beverage service tray, it took him a while to save up for it.
I had lousy luck using plain old Corningware on the stove top. Everything got burnt on the bottom no matter how low I adjusted the flame. Based on that, I don't think Visions is for me. These days, the only Corningware I use on the stove top is the "Sauce Maker" with the liquid measurements on the inside and uniquely shaped glass lid. |

Promptly soon moved them on.
Was using one pot for rice and yes, everything either burnt or stuck to bottom. Quite honestly for things like soups or anything that required lots of water they were fine one supposes. Have a few of the individual sized covered bowls that one uses for microwaving things and such. They are fine for that purpose which is why have remained. Looking back at the adverts, tend to think perhaps Visions cookware was meant more for soups, stews, sauces, etc.... Then you have that whole "from the freezer to oven to table thing. |

I remember using some Visions with the non-stick bottom, and, as I recall, those pans weren't hard to wash.
Later on, I bought a plain Visions pan in a thrift shop. I probably bought it partly because I'd found the non-stick variety satisfactory. But I discovered quickly it wasn't as easy to live with... |

I had no problems if something stuck. I just threw it in the GSD1200 PotScrubber and it cam out clean as a whistle, even as my corningware and pyrexware do to this day. All casseroles are prepared and baked in glass, not metal. Current dishwasher using Pots & Pans and High Temp I have no issues and I don't scrub them out, just scrape good. |

It appears there's still a healthy market in the UK and in Asia because World Kitchen has expanded the Visions line on the other side of the world.
Diamond, faceted and nearly as clear as Pyrex:
Flair, casseroles that resemble Luminarc Amberline but with the classic CorningWare round knob on the lids:
Patterned Casseroles, apparently laser-etched without compromising the thermal shock integrity:
And, of course, Reverse, though for some strange reason they're using the same image for all three sizes: |
