(More customer reviews)I chose Corelle for my everyday dishes when I got married in 1975. I really didn't know what I had! When I got tired of the pattern (even though the dishes were still going strong), my head was turned by some pretty stoneware and these hard-working champs were put out to pasture. I didn't move them out of the kitchen though but they lost their spot in the main cabinet. I liked my new stoneware but the chips in the bowls and plates were sad to see. I never had that with my Corelle - I guess we were not used to being gentle with the dishes.
Corelle is excellent for the microwave. It doesn't absorb the microwaves like the stoneware did and it takes far less time to heat up leftovers! Everyone learned this pretty quickly and I noticed more and more that I was seeing more Corelle in the dishwasher than my stoneware, especially as the children grew older and were eating later due to school activities. The stoneware only gets used when the Corelle is dirty!
Corelle is not prone to breakage in the same way as other dishes. My children and I have dropped them with no consequences on many occassions. It will break when hot though and it shatters into sharp shards of glass that explode throughout the room when it does! My sister-in-law picked up a HOT bowl of broccoli at my mother-in-law's house, burnt herself and dropped it. What a mess! When my mother-in-law moved from her house several years later, she found broccoli in places you wouldn't believe and was still finding shards of Corelle under things. It really sprad. Instead of chips, I've found that a bowl or plate will have a shard of glass missing from the edge.
My Corelle - in Butterfly Gold - was removed from the cabinets today. I replaced it with a new pattern. My daughter (who has a nice set of Corelle of her own, in a beautiful pattern) took it to her home. I had, at one time, 12 place settings plus serving pieces, smaller bowls, luncheon plates, etc. I notice that Corning has not continued offering the serving pieces, etc. to match and that is disappointing. I'm going to be looking at open-stock pieces to see what I can find to work with it!
I never realized when I selected my dishes for my bridal registry, that I would get nearly 40 years service out of them! Eventually my daughter may donate the leftover pieces when she gets more dishes but, for now, their life goes on in another place.
