We have nearly the entire set of CorningWare French White baking dishes and they are fantastic! They go from fridge to oven to dishwasher, no problem. However, depending on what you're serving, you might want the 7 oz, too. The 4 oz isn't quite big enough for custard, better for dipping sauces.

These will hold up to 3/4 cup, or about that amount or dried ingredients. You will then feel like a chef as you toss the ingredients into the bowl when mixing. You may also enjoy making individual size portions, you can use these for mini-souffles or to serve fruit salad for breakfast.

They are also very useful for dipping sauces or for bite-size vegetables and dip. We mix half mayonnaise and half Italian dressing so we can dip baby carrots into the creamy mixture. I use them all the time when serving a small portion of soup with a sandwich or when serving gravy
with toasted chicken sandwiches.

When making certain recipes, you might want to measure out your ingredients before you start. (Known as: mise en place)

Also useful for when you are making spicy dishes and you want to mix up all the spices and add them all at once. When you are cooking rice, use these dishes to help shape a pile of rice (press freshly cooked rice into the ramekin) and then turn the dish over on a serving plate...then surround with sauce or your main dish servings. Very nice presentation!

Look for a "mini-whisk" for use when you want to mix up a small amount of ingredients in these very versatile dishes.

If for no other reason..buy them because they are SO cute!

~The Rebecca Review

Pyroceram glass that Corningware originally used? Erm, no. Just Chinese stoneware made to look like the original but without the original's thermal shock quality. Should've known better so the eight I ordered went straight to the thrift store as it never occurred to me to examine the bottom of the pieces, the original packaging being long gone - not worth the effort or cost to return. Live and learn.
