Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Made of a non-porous glass-ceramic material, this durable 5-2/7-quart Dutch oven won't absorb food odors or flavors or react with acid-based foods. The versatile cookware can withstand high heat and moves easily right from the refrigerator or freezer into the oven or microwave, under the broiler, or onto the stovetop. Its see-through design allows for easily monitoring foods while they cook instead of constantly removing the lid to peek inside. For use as an attractive serving dish, two generous handles, one on each side, make it simple to transport from the oven or stovetop right to the table. In addition, the cookware reduces the number of pots used by offering the option to refrigerate or freeze leftovers in the same dish they were cooked or to reheat without transferring contents to another pot. The vessel is made in France and the lid is made in the USA. This dishwasher-safe Dutch oven measures approximately 10-1/2 by 14 by 8 inches.

Product Description

Visions is a revolutionary cookware which is truly visibly superior.

As a result, it offers real convenience and versatility unmatched by conventional cookware. Cooking with Visions enables you to easily monitor food to avoid overcooking or evaporating water, reduce the number of pots used, the convenience of refrigerating or freezing leftovers in the same dish they were cooked, and reheating without transferring the contents to another pot. Vessels are made in France and the lids are made in the USA.

I have had Visions cookware for about 17 years I guess. One of them has broken, but I loved them for all the years I've had them. They are great on gas stoves. They are great on electric stoves. I caution you to use low heat levels. High liquid items are no trouble. Baking is no trouble. If I burned something in one of them, I used a metal spatula to gently and carefully remove most of the charred crud, and then some cleanser or SOS to make them look like new again. I am looking to replace my beloved and well used 5 quart that had a coffee cup tossed into it by one of the kiddies :). I really like this cookware.

A L L....V I S I O N S....Cookware is perfect! I have
often thought that if I ever achieved all my dreams,
and became a millionaire, (or even a billionaire or a
trillionaire!), I would STILL want to cook, and would
STILL want ONLY "Visions", (or Pyrex, or Corelle, or
other glass or glass/ceramic cookare), to cook with.
This type of cookware is easy to clean, keeps correct
temperature, HAS NO HOT SPOTS, (which can ruin most
otherwise wonderful stainless-steel cookware), looks
quite beautiful, and just has an instinctive "feel"to
it that says, "pefect cookware".

"Visions" cookware is at the top of this list,
because one can see through it...all through it...and
not just from a glass top. This is very convenient
if one wants to do something else, and glance up, once
every few minutes, to see if the cooking is done.

True, "Visions" does burn...and burn very easily.
However, one can easily avoid this problem by putting
the stove on to a very low heat, while one is away.
Or buying a timer with a loud ring. With all the ad-
vantages that Visions, (and other glass or glass/cer-
amic) cookware affords, this precaution is a very
small bother. I myself have burnt three wonderful
Visions pots....yet I am buying more, and vowing to
be more careful!!!! (UPDATE....AND TIP! Yes, I've
burnt yet another wonderful Visions pot....but THIS
time, I decided to WAIT until the pot was COMPLETELY
COOL, before I tried to wash the burnt part off. IT
WORKED LIKE A CHARM! So, my (additional) advice now
is....if all else fails, and you forget to time your-
self or put on a lower light, and the pot burns
anyway.....take the pot off the heat, and WAIT AT
LEAST 2 HOURS -- before washing in warm, soapy water. I then used Bon-Ami Cleanser....strong, but never
scratches. I suppose any dishwashing liquid will
work though. Just be sure to WAIT those two hours!

"Visions" and "Corningware" are now being made in
very limited quantities. I hope that they can again
be made in far greater quantities....new generations
are always being born, and the cooks amongst them
will always want the best. No matter what the price,
(and there are so many more expensive brands of pots
around...such as Calophan)....Visions will always be
the best, as far as I'm concerned. The best for
health, and value, and beauty, and convenience, (that
ability to judge what's cooking from a distance.)
"Perfection" is a term to use rarely, if ever. But
"Perfection" in cookware, and serving eqipment is
what Corningware and Visions is. I hope they keep
making it -- and in larger and larger quantities --
forever!

P.S.: I see that this item has been reduced in
price from $120 to $79! At this price, it surely is
a bargain! If you are looking for a large stock or
cooking pot, this, in my opinion, is the one to buy!

I have a new GE Advantium 120 microwave oven and needed a large pot with a glass lid to cook stews, soups,etc. I received my order very promptly and it was in perfect shape! I had had some Visions pots some time ago and really liked them so I was so glad to find the 5qt. pot that I needed on Amazon.
