4.0 out of 5 stars
Good set, October 30, 2008
This review is from: CorningWare Simply Lite Glass Bakeware - 10pc (Kitchen)
I purchased this set at Sam's Club for under $35. I just wanted good-quality food storage containers with glass lids, primarily for use in the refrigerator and microwave oven.
Good thing I found that deal, because the 2- and 3-qt. rectangular casseroles do not have glass lids. I don't know why CorningWare has chosen not to include glass lids for these 2 casseroles, but it's royally annoying. I'm not impressed with the plastic lids. They don't look like they're going to last long, and I'm not sure they're not going to get stained. I don't even know if the plastic is PBA free. For these reasons, I only want the glass lids... another reason not to pay full price for this set.
On the plus side:
**CorningWare advertises that all CorningWare® oven bakeware products (including metallic banded French White® products) can be used in conventional, convection, toaster and microwave ovens; and in the refrigerator, freezer and dishwasher.
**CorningWare Simply Lite is made in the USA.
**Unlike stoneware, vitrelle glass can be soaked.
**Vitrelle glass is lightweight; looks and feels just like Corelle Livingware dinnerware.
**I like the design and fit of the glass lids.
**The casseroles and lids are easy to store.
**The solid white color goes with anything.

Very disappointed, March 30, 2009
This review is from: CorningWare Simply Lite Glass Bakeware - 10pc (Kitchen)
Prior reviews must have been by CorningWare employees.
1) Product photos cleverly "suggest" they stack inside one another. They do not.
2) For some reason only 2 of 4 sizes come with glass lids - all 4 do have plastic lids.
3) Unlike another review, I do NOT have Arthritis and find it very difficult to remove plastic lids; especially when dish comes out for the refrigerator. Look at the photo and ask how you would hold the dish as you pry-up on lid-removal TAB? The rounded bottom makes this an interesting task.

Very Light and Kind to my Hands with Arthritis, March 4, 2009
This review is from: CorningWare Simply Lite Glass Bakeware - 10pc (Kitchen)
Love this product. So much more light than other bakeware. Easier to pick up and use with the arthritis in my hands.
