Amazon.com Product Description

Long known for its reliability in the kitchen, CorningWare adds easy use and simplicity to cooking with its SimplyLite bakeware line. A versatile collection, SimplyLite is made from a super-lightweight glass that acts like traditional glass or ceramic in use. Surprisingly durable, this material makes its easier to retrieve the dishes from high or low shelves, allows for nesting storage, and gives the arms of busy cooks a break. A smart choice for daily meals, SimplyLite comes in a crisp white with rounded corners, clean profiles, and integrated handles. Some pieces include bake-safe glass lids, while others feature durable plastic lids for storing food before or after meals. All pieces are notably easy to clean by hand or in the dishwasher.

Safe in the microwave or oven without its lid, this SimplyLite oblong baker holds up to three quarts of lasagna or deep-dish apple pie. Made in the U.S.A., it comes with a plastic lid and nests for storage with other SimplyLite dishes. CorningWare also makes a similar baker in a 2-quart size.

From the Manufacturer

Form and function are combined in an innovative and stylish next-generation bakeware, the CorningWare® SimplyLite™ collection, which delivers the cooking performance of traditional ceramic bakeware but at half the weight* of comparably shaped ceramic stoneware baking dishes. (*On average versus the leading ceramic bakeware brand.)

Made in America, CorningWare® SimplyLite™ bake and serveware is made of Vitrelle™ glass laminate, a proprietary advanced material made of three layers of glass which produces a bakeware with a durability far exceeding that of any single glass composition.

An alternative to weightier ceramic dishes, the SimplyLite™ collection was developed in response to market research that strongly indicated a consumer desire for bake and serveware that is easier to handle and maneuver in and out of the oven, to carry from kitchen to table and for guests to pass while entertaining.

SimplyLite™ bakeware offers real space-saving solutions, as well. The dishes with glass and plastic storage lids are designed to nest and stack within just 12 inches, leaving cabinets free for other storage.

And the bakeware is designed for effortless cleanups. The Vitrelle™ glass produces a smooth, non-porous surface that is both stain and odor resistant and dishwasher safe. Available in pure white, the CorningWare® SimplyLite™ bakeware collection is available in a variety of sets and open stock pieces.

Stylish accessories, including serving cradles, multi-functional serving pieces and portable carriers for transporting dishes, add to the contemporary look of the SimplyLite™ collection.

Features and Benefits:

• 50% lighter*; 100% Corningware®
• Easy to clean glass

5.0 out of 5 stars CorningWare from Corning, New York, USA., January 18, 2009

This review is from: CorningWare SimplyLite 3-Quart Oblong Baking Dish with Plastic Lid (Kitchen)

If you ask World Kitchen via email, they'll claim "MADE IN USA" is insignificant to American consumers who welcomed imported CorningWare stoneware with open arms and consider it an improvement over the dear departed American-made Pyroceram.

Why, then, is "MADE IN USA" one of the major selling points of CorningWare's new SimplyLite lineup? Because it DOES matter and because CorningWare isn't just a brand. It's the very reason to buy the stuff as the superior alternative to stoneware.

SimplyLite recaptures CorningWare's heritage of innovation. It's made in Corning, New York from Vitrelle, the same material as Corelle LivingWare dishes. I bought this oblong baker at Target and handed it to my wife who immediately commented "What is this, plastic?" It really is that light in weight, but it'll do anything glass will do and a few things stoneware can't. Bake in it, freeze in it, put away leftovers in it without any worries about staining or reactions from acidic foods like tomato sauce. When you're through, throw it in the dishwasher. The only two places you can't use it are on the stove and under the broiler.

The surface is unusually smooth because Vitrelle is a composite of milky white glass under a layer of clear glass. That's why even baked-on mac 'n' cheese slides right off. Should there be any leftovers, the see-through plastic lid snaps on and leaves the contents visible.

1.0 out of 5 stars It's the lid, April 14, 2011

By 

FD5 - See all my reviews

This review is from: CorningWare SimplyLite 3-Quart Oblong Baking Dish with Plastic Lid (Kitchen)

We bought the Pyrex 6 piece set but rarely use the large pan because the lid is damn near impossible to remove. I am writing this review because my wife just got through screaming because her fingers were being pinched trying to remove the lid. We do use the other 2 pans and 2 glass lids. Cleanup is easy and bakes evenly. We will not buy another one until they redesigned the lid. If not for the lid I would have rated it a 5. Your food containers SHOULD NOT hurt you to use them. If I haven't been clear "It's the lid" that I rate it so low.

4.0 out of 5 stars Corelle dish is perfect, lid is not, January 28, 2011

A Kid's Review

This review is from: CorningWare SimplyLite 3-Quart Oblong Baking Dish with Plastic Lid (Kitchen)

I purchased this at a local grocery store when it was going out of business. I love Corelle because if anything sticks or bakes or (in my usual case) burns on, a little soaking makes clean up so easy. The LID on this though is almost impossible to take off! I'm surprised no one has said anything about this.
