I had a saucepan which I didn't like, but I can't remember why.

Oh yes, I bought a set for the only apartment I ever lived in. For some reason (maybe it was so heavy) I got rid of my set. I stayed in the apartment seven years though!

I have Visions.....

3 same color as shown in pic- 5 qt pots (Currently, I only use them when I cook greens and melt sugar for lemonade.

1 - tiny pot (the only time I use it is to melt butter for my popcorn)

I purchased all of the above 20 yrs ago off of eBay for $11. It was my 1st & last bid that I've ever won!

1 purple large casserole bowl

1 purple small casseroles bowl

Not sure where I purchased the above from. It was over 20 yrs ago. I only use them when I cook ox tails.

EDIT: Now I remember where I go the 2 casserole's bowls from.....FLEA MARKET! $1.00 each.

I had these in three sizes and used the smallest in my microwave. I found them to be too heavy as I became older.

i remember this line well. i hated it. As i remember everything cooked hot and fast in it.

Can't remember wether or not things stuck (as another poster mentioned)

i think i got a set for xmas or some such, (i'm sure i asked for it) and then ended up getting rid of it.

I have been re-buying pyrex, and corning ware. Prices on both have shot up to head shaking prices. (you want how much???)

I remember my mother having them when I was a teenager. She hated them. We had hard water and she boiled water to make pasta and they were no longer crystal clear. She sold them at a yard sale.

Years later I think there were news stories saying they exploded when cooked in?

I had 2 pieces and couldn't get rid of them fast enough. Wouldn't consider buying them again.

That's my set, @loriqvc -- even the amber color! Got them 30 years ago.

We had a set and hated them. They needed a much lower heat or things would scorch which was difficult to clean and they were so heavy and hard to lift to serve or clean! Holding just by the handles like you can do with other pots and pans made them umbalanced if you didn't use the other hand with a potholder to stabalize it! Nothing good about them!!

I had some of these in the cranberry color when we had an Americana kitchen. They got passed along to one of the kids and are still being used.

I'm currently reoutfitting my kitchen with Corningware Cornflower but if I had known about these first, I would have considered them in blue.

wagirl — Fri, 17 Jun 2022 14:25:22 GMT

Yes I still have some---works just fine. got some in that brown color then in the burgandy? or purple color that had black non stick on the inside bottom----but got rid of that, years ago, as the nonstick was scratched up

@loriqvc I saw that same ad too on an email I received and thought why would they bring this back.
