I got this set for a wedding present almost 3 years ago and I still use it all the time!! It works well in the oven, for storing leftovers and serving dishes at the table. It really cuts back on dishes. The classic style make it suitable for any decor and clean up is a breeze. I have never had a problem getting it clean. Great set!!!

As a teenager, I often find it difficult to shop for my parents. This dish set screamed "MOM GIFT" though, and the price was very fair, so I quickly bought it. When the boxed wares arrived, however, one of the small ramekins had a large chip in it, and the medium oval dish was completely destroyed. After searching for quite a bit of time for a means of having the dishes replaced, I uncovered a customer service number (1-800-201-7575) that directed me to a representative who quickly solved my broken-dish problem and order a whole new shipment for me! The service I recieved from the helpful customer service staff made all the difference. Besides the broken wares, the purchase seemed to have been a good idea!

I got some of these pieces 27 years ago when I bought a certificate of deposit from a bank.

I still have them and they look just as good as they did then. Strange to say that something so inexpensive is an investment, but they are.

After all these years, I bought more.

Great product.

We purchased 4 sets of these fabulous sets (one to keep, three to gift). all the pieces in the set are just the right size for our family of 4.

One thing to look out for is shipping damage. Out of the 4 sets, 2 had broken pieces. Amazon replaced those sets, with two new sets - both of the new sets had broken pieces - but between the 4 damaged sets, I was able to put together 2 whole, good sets.

This was not a packing deficiency on Amazon's part - the sets are just not packed well inside the sealed boxes.

The plastic "refrigerator" covers are a little difficult to get on, but seal well once you do manage to get them covered. I wish all 4 of the big containers had the covers, but only two of them do.

We received this set in perfect condition. It was very very well packaged, as has been everything I've ever received from Amazon (quite a lot recently from our wedding registry). I think most people know what to expect from CorningWare, but the composition of this set is particularly good I think. It has everything you need without repetition. I like that there are lids included, I just wish the ramekins also had lids.

I also received my set with a broken piece, but Amazon was more than gracious in replacing it with no cost to me. There is definitely a packaging problem, but I cannot say the same for the actual product. The Corningware is multi-functional and in french white, very stylish. This stuff lasts forever and takes quite a bit of abuse!

For those of you who remember when Corningware was not just ceramic, this will come as a huge disappointment. This is very fragile, and prone to break at a moment's notice. Shipping is traumatic for these wimpy dishes, as are very minor encounters.

The concept is great, and if this were Mom's Corningware, it would be a deal.

Caveat emptor.

I received this set as a Christmas gift in 2003 and I find myself using it all the time. I love using it to bake casseroles and also using them as serving pieces. They are so versatile! I also love the design. The French white pieces are so classic and will coordinate anything!

I was VERY dissatisfied when I receive this product in the mail. It's a 12-piece set and 3 of the dishes were broken upon arrival. I'm sorry, but if you cannot package a breakable set well enough to ship, then DON'T offer it for sale as an online product.

Second Attempt:
Amazon was great in sending a replacement set, but I STILL received a broken piece. Same issue applies - if you cannot package it well enough to ship, then don't do it. This is SO frustrating, because it's wasting everyone's time and money. Just do the job right the first time!

The product is beautiful and much nicer than I expected but the packing is poor. I had bought corninware stuff before and a third of it came broken, this time one of the items came completely shattered. But Amazon was wonderful and sent me a replacement right away.
