I've owned French White for years and years, and they were the first casserole dish I always reached for. We had a mishap, broke my 10+ year old large oval casserole and replaced it with a new full set.

What a disappointment!!! CorningWare has changed something in their process or raw materials. The new dishes have tiny little "pits" in them that allows water to penetrate underneath the glaze. It looks unsightly when serving. The heft and feel aren't the same. Neither is the quality. You can tell the new pieces, as the bottoms have a ridge molded into the base. The older pieces are completely flat.

Using the new large oval dish, my adult daughter removed a full dish on lasagna from the oven and set it on a room temperature (burners turned off)stove top to cool. The dish shattered into pieces, and we had to throw everything out. CorningWare sent a replacement at no charge. The new dish has the same defects as the one that shattered.

I've been shopping at thrift stores and have managed to find older pieces. So disappointing the manufacture has cheapened/changed what was once a fabulous can't-live-without product.

Be careful with the new CorningWare (as well as the new Pyrex). It is not the same quality as what your mother used to use (and may still use). The new stuff is OK for refrigerator and microwave use. Oven and freezer use is risky. The stove is definitely out. This set is probably worth the ten dollar sale price, but not more than that.

I understand the negative reviews. I bought a french white CorningWare set from someplace else and I, too, am not pleased. The glass lids don't even fit right on the bakeware. There are gaps between the dish and the lid. I don't use them as much as I thought I would.

I ordered 2 sets and they both arrived with the big 2-1/2-quart round dish broken. The packaging is very poor. The dish itself is just OK quality for the sale price. In order to get refund, you have to return the entire set including all the broken piece back to Amazon. It is a pain to package all the broken piece without cutting your fingers.

I got an awesome deal on this Corning Wear. It looks very elegant. It's very useful, since it can go from fridge to microwave or oven to dishwasher. Note: the plastic lid is NOT oven safe. Also, do NOT use this on a stove top.

Not sure why other people are having problems. I love all of my corning ware pieces. I use them all the time in the oven and then clean them right away. I've had them for about three years now and never had one break or look old. I've got the french white set and i think they are so cute. Great price too.

These pieces look nice. You can put them in the refrigerator or microwave and take them out of the oven without worrying about cracking. I can also use the small dishes to store peanuts. But, the glass cover and the big round dish don't match very well, and it is the only fly in the ointment.

We got this as a house warming gift. Within a few months, we noticed a crack in one of the 16-ounce round dishes. We've owned the set for less than a year, and the 2 1/2 quart casserole dish just broke! Really disappointing.... I will not buy another one. We've had good luck with the le creuset brand. The have a 2 quart casserole dish for around $44 on Amazon. It costs more, but if it doesn't break? well worth it.

I ordered this because it said the dimensions where 11.7 and it is not even 8 inches wide. I ordered it specifically for the width so I am VERY disappointed.

Disappointed. Bought what I thought were replacement pieces for my Corningware bakeware. They are nothing like the white bright and light originals and I will not be buying Corningware in the future if it is not the same as the original .
