Corelle Dish Demo - Page 3

I have Corelle dishes from the 80s. I still use them everyday. Very few have broken in all these years. Any dish other than plastic is going to shatter if you slam it down. I would have liked seeing that demo though. It would have been hilarious.

We used to have a beagle. The scamp discovered that he could hop up and ****** the Corelle dishes off the counter. The Corelle was lightweight enough that it would easily become aerodynamic. The food would go flying. The Corelle would smash on the floor. The beagle would get the food. He broke all of our Corelle dishes in that fashion.

Smart doggie @AuntMame !

Shifted to plain white Corelle for every day years ago. The main appeal was its lightness, that it was thin ( you can stack and stack), and ease of replacement.

It's made of the type of layered glass ( vitrelle) that is break-resistant. Not break proof. It does resist breaking more than ceramic does.

BUT, if it hits a hard surface, at just the right spot, it does that shattering -nto-a million-pieces thing that everyone noticies.

Ours have very rarely broken over the decades on our wood floor. If one does, I have to quickly sweep up, so curious kitties don't get shards in their soft paws.

Since it very rarely does break, the risk is worth it to me for the other convenience factors.

Yes, I've used Corelle for decades and they are CHIP resistant, not shatterproof. I've only had one dish break because it fell out of a cupboard to the hard floor.
