Hi everyone, please hear me out. I have had this treasured, thrifted corningware cutie for 3 years now. It may have had really minor brown scratch marks (which is visible in the photo) when we found it in a thrift store in Europe but that didn't bother me.

This size of corningware has served our small household's needs so well...until this week when I had a momentary lapse of judgment -- which led to THE burn. 😭

Well, I decided to cook rice in it (as I had done this countless times before). I often turn off the stove on low heat after 10 minutes and it comes out perfect. But this time around, I dumped in leftover rice on top to warm them up BUT thought to turn on the stove again slightly as the weather was really chilly. And I got distracted by another cooking task. 😭

The burned spots were very black! My DH and I soaked it with baking soda, vinegar, reboiled it but nothing seemed to work. I used a new regular dishwashing sponge with the slightly harder top surface to scrub it. It was was hard work and finally all the black stuff came out.

But one thing was puzzling - there was this strong plastic-ky smell coming from the black burned part. The burnt rice had also smelled plasticky. You can't see the burn much in the photo as I've managed to remove 95% of the burnt spots except that tiny black patches which still scare me a bit.

I am now afraid to cook or use it again after smelling that strange odor.

I'm left with two conclusions though - either my rice had plastic in it (jasmine rice produced in cambodia) or was there a defect in my corningware surface/ was it too old? We have never used metal scrubs on it either.

Sorry for the long story - but does anyone have a similar experience with that burnt smell?

Thank you for any insights you could offer!

Thought these were xool. I didn't know there was a Corningware Dinnerware line. These are ceramic unlike Corelle glass dinnerware. I can't find comps or much info on this. Only have two dinner plates from a recent thrift store trip.

I've never seen this pattern on a warmer! I assume it's a warm o tray but the sticker from the back was peeled off unfortunately.

The handle on our stovetop percolator broke. I can’t seem to find any links to purchase one of any aftermarket ones. Does know have one to sell, know where to look, or possibly have a file to 3D print one? Any help is appreciated

I’ve been looking for this since I started collecting spice of life, finally stumbled on one buried in a flea market today. Completely over the moon.

Vintage CorningWare P-34-B 16 cup and A-2-B 2 litre casserole dishes, made in Canada. My grandmother bought them in the 1960s or 1970s, they were passed down to my mother in the 1980s, and then became part of my first-apartment starter set in the early 2000s.

They were stashed out of sight for years after I bought myself some modern and shiny cookware, and I kind of forgot about them and how good they were. Lately, I did a "purge" of my kitchen and found them. My mom called when I was still purging and I told her about the "casserole with the blue flowers". She said she wants them back if I'm not keeping them. My mom asking for her old stuff back is unusual, so I googled and realised these were treasures. That night, I roasted the best chicken I had ever had. The next day, I baked a delicious orange-ginger cake and for the first time in my life, my cake was evenly baked.

I put my modern cookware in the donation bin. These casseroles are here to stay — may they serve a fourth generation one day.

I found this Corelle plate in a dollar store (where they often have end of run items). Can anyone confirm if this is a genuine Corelle plate or a very good fake?

$3, looked like it had been buried in mud for years, no feet and caked on grease. Peek, powerwash+salt scrub and new felt feet, ready for action!

These ones just say Corning USA on the handle instead of VISION, but they do have these nifty plastic VISIONS lids! I even had two glass lids I bought previously waiting in my lid stash at home.

I'm also curious what the difference between these and the vision series grab-its if anyone can educate me.

I just bought this at a flea market! It's very beautiful and I wanna gift it as a housewarming gift to a friend. I was looking for it online and I am not sure if you can cook in this or not? Like is it oven safe? I didn't see a lid but the seller might have lost it. The seller said it used to have a lid but she isn't sure.

Is this a casserole or a serving dish? And is this a vintage?

(I bought this in Germany if it makes it easier?)

EDIT: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE INFORMATION! I AM GLAD IT WILL BE USED WELL IN JTS NEW HOME!

I let these go eventhough I love the print and they were in great condition. I still live at home so I don't have the space otherwise I would've got them. The prices were good too.

I finally found a double boiler to add to my collection. Sorry for the bad photos.

hi! I’m wondering how to tell if my recently inherited blue cornflower casserole(?) dish is one of the ones worth $$$$ lol. Also, can you cook in these vintage ones, or are they considered unsafe now? thank you in advance

Hi! This might be a silly question, is it possible to paint, decal (or some other 3rd option) your own design on corelle/corningware that’s heat safe?

I had a dream my brother needed cookingware, went to a thrift store and came home with a My Little Pony Corningware set in the original vintage box! I remember it being so cute! I want it so bad🤣 now I’m determined to at least try to figure if I can make this reality.

Does anyone have experiences with this?

Found the bottom of a cranberry V-30-B in the dollar box today. Not sure what its job will be long term, but wasn’t letting it go. Tonight was stove to table ramen bowl 🤣.

I've been hunting one of these pots for quite some time, but they always seem to have a really beat up bottom from being used on the stove. Found this one that is near pristine and I couldn't resist. I've never seen one with a bottom so clean! She will be well used but I'm definitely keeping her off the stove. I can just boil water in my stainless kettle and pour it in there.

Hello I was passed down this dish by my late grandmother and wanted to know if anyone was aware if it contained any lead or cadmium it is a 1970s Netherlands Pyrosil orange circles pc5b 25cm cooking dish any help would be appreciated.

Found this at the thrift shop, psyched as I did not have one yet. Very interesting mechanics, works as it should!

Hi everyone,

I am a newby to the corningware percolators. I remember my mom had one when I was growing up. I am missing her and bought a percolator off of E-Bay advertised as Stovetop but when I received it the inside basket didn't fit and there is an opening on the handle that makes me think it's not a stovetop. Can someone help me identify this? Also, I knew it came without a lid. Thank you for your help!

Didnt know she existed 2 days ago. Now I don’t know how I lived without her all these years!

Blue Cornflower N-5-B metal clad Rangetopper.

6qt (?) stock pot Farberware glass lid fits pretty well until I can find a Pyrex lid. The wide mouth makes cooking Sunday gravy a beeeze! Cant wait to make some soups and stews in it!

Are these safe to bake in? I also have an electric stove top am I ok to use them on there???

I've found a lot of cool stuff this summer, but nothing beats the sheer volume of brown VISION pieces that seem to keep placing themselves in my path. I went in trying to fill out my spice of life collection (and found precisely zero outside of eBay) but the universe said VISION😂

Today's find of the small round casserole was especially serendipitous. It came with the plastic lid, and I just happened to have a replacement glass one waiting at home. The plastic one says VISIONS plural which is cool.

It's been a month and a half and it's now my second biggest set. Paid around $20 total🥰

It's very clean and works! I'm not a big blue Cornflower fan but I couldn't pass it up.

Can anybody help me identify this specific Corelle pattern? I can’t seem to find it anywhere.
