Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 You hate it? I have a set of Corelle dishes, never broke one, not a chip or anything, same set for 15 yrs. I use lots of Corelle, I love it. Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I think it gets too hot in the microwave. And whenever I break a piece, it shatters everywhere (unlike my regular dishes). I think I'm down to one cereal bowl, from odds and ends of Corelle I had in college. I do like Corningware, which is made by the same company. I like Corningware better than Pyrex because when Corningware chips, the chip isn't as sharp as Pyrex.

I would heartily recommend arcoroc dinner ware -- I have a set and they have lasted me quite a while. I started buying them back in 1984 and when I come across pieces in my pattern I snatch them up. I believe my pattern is called " fleur " . Really pretty but I have to use a brush on the bottom of the plates when washing to get the pattern clean -- well worth it in my estimation.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 I have a set of Corelle that I bought in 1976--the year before I got married! Most of the plates are still around; someone gave me extra saucers and cups a while back, but in a move, I found the saucers but none of the hand-me-down cups, except for one lonely " original " from my set. I have somehow also acquired a few odd plain white bowls that didn't come with the set... Whomever said they shatter and make a horrible, splintery mess was right. I have had a few Corelle dishes/plates and all but one of the cups break--usually shattering into needle-like shards that are truly scary! My DH and I have talked often about replacing the old Corelle with something prettier, sturdier or at least more up-to-date, but so far, we've stuck with the old stuff for our everyday table-ware. We also have a set of china that gets pulled out every now and then--it's nice to USE it and not just keep it in the cupboard all the time! The china was a gift after we'd been married several years... " open stock " it was, but not so now! We've broken pieces of that and have had a harder time replacing them...about that, we also are saying, " one of these days we might replace this stuff... " Ah, well! I'm most of the time just happy we have abundant FOOD to eat than worried that my china or Corelle is old and getting broken or chipped! I'm enjoying the posts: Thursday this week I'm going for a week-long visit to my daugher, son-in-law and grandson's home & may not get to see any e-mails for a while. I'll read them and save the good recipes when I get back, however! Peace! --Laura B., in Illinois PS: My daughter & family live just a block's walk from a lovely small supermarket that's like a tiny " Whole Foods " , called " New Frontiers " . If anyone's ever in the neighborhood of Flagstaff, AZ. or Sedona, AZ. check out those stores--they have a wonderful hot and cold food deli and are very " veg-friendly " . Sedona's not a big town, but it has several really NICE places with good food options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love Corelle (at least the set we have) because it's light and microwaves well, but like Audrey I don't like it because it shatters in a 1000 pieces when it just barely touches a hard surface. This has happened with 2 sets. One was my mothers and she didn't like it so I got it, the other we had and both sets break. One shatters in 1000 shredded pieces, the other set just breaks into 3 or 4 chunky pieces. Stoneware is too heavy, so we're looking to replace our sets with something light, useful and sturdy if such a thing still exists.
