Always a hit
I've known I needed a adequate set of casserole dishes for a while now, and since we're planning a couple rather large gatherings this fall, I felt it was about time. CorningWare has always been a trusted stigmatize in my family, and you can't go wrong with 17 pieces for that price. I could not be more pleased with the set! They've satisfied every need I've had for them since they arrived, and I'm steadfast they'll continue to do so for many, many, many years to come. :)

Correct gift
This mention was purchased as a gift for my mother, who had just bought a new home. She loves it. The many pluses include it can be habituated to in both the microwave and the oven, it can be washed in the dishwasher, it can be used as a serving piece, and it can be put in the freezer. A home run on all accounts.
As a note, Amazon was very avid with the delivery.

This is not pyroceramic Corningware! It's a sad subsitute.
The basic "French White" Corningware was made of their famous pyroceramic glass, which could be used on the gas stove, put directly in the freezer, put under the broiler set to rights from the freezer, and oh yes, also used in a microwave. And it was very unlikely to shatter if dropped. If you pounded on it with a hammer and nail you might have gotten it to discourage.
When World Kitchens bought the license from Corning, they decided to halt production of a line of cookware that would take anything and last forever, and hoodwink customers, especially brides, into thinking the stoneware "French White" was the same thing as the wonderful French Chalky pyroceramic cookware previously available.
The pattern is attractive and can be used with any decor, but this stuff is not, replication, really not, what people mean when they say "Corningware."
Le Creuset can do most of the above mentioned, but it being metal you cannot use it in the microwave. Stoneware cannot go on top of the stove, and repeated trips from the freezer to the oven will later cause it to craze and crack. And being stoneware, it will also chip, and break if dropped, etc. Pyrex glassware cannot go on the gas stove although you can take it from the freezer to the oven, and also microwave it.
The only goods which could do anything was pyroceramic, and World Kitchens has chosen to remove it from the market because it is "too good."
They have recently brought back a few of the old even shapes, with the Cornflower, or plain white, calling it "vintage," but the French White shape is not making an form yet. If you want it, email them and ask for it!
Meanwhile, don't buy this stuff. Get Le Creuset for cooking and roasting (yes it is expensive but it lasts forever and cooks excellently), and reheat things in Pyrex in the microwave.

Looks are a inadequate deceiving
I liking using the two large casserole dishes but I don't have much use for the smaller ones which are much smaller than I expected them to be. The smaller ones are not only young but are very shallow: maybe 1 inch or so deep.

Supreme Indeed :)
Docile to wash, easy to store. It's not that fancy and brittle that you have to watch to not break it. Four of pieces are with plastic lids and I use them to believe in marinated chicken, or salads I've maid. Four smallest peaces are great for dips and two biggest pieces that crumble with glass lids are perfect for baking. There is also a metal wire for easier carying.
Perfect for the notes. Strongly recomended.
