Not only is the new corning ware apealing to the eye it is versatile. It blends in to whatever dish pattern or table cloth you are using. I bought a set for my Mom who is 85 yrs old. The new corning ware is much lighter in weight and makes it easier for her to handle and carry the dish. At first glance it does not look like this product will be as sturdy as the older version but after dropping it (accidently) and having it ding into other pots and pans I was happy to see it is stronger than it looks. So far nothing has left a staining mark ; I also like the extending edges that blend well with the design and make it easier to keep a handle on a filled dish. I gave this 5 stars because the product is appealing visually; it is sturdy; handles well and washes beautifully ; looks great in the fridge and the price is very reasonable.

Never thought I would write a review on CorningWare!
But this is not Your Mothers CorningWare with the silly blue flower.
Its lite weight (love it), All white but more modern looking, has side handles,that do not stick way out, a Lid with a wide handle on top, and even a great Plastic cover for the Frig.
The plastic cover is not cheesy, and fits snug.
I was surprised by the lite weight of this, but Don't let the lighter weight stop anyone from buying this CorningWare.
Its indestructible, unless you take a hammer to it, and then I have my doubts!
That said, I have not dropped it, or smashed it into anything.
I have had other sizes of 2 1/2 qt,casseroles but they are bigger on the outside part, and awkward to fit in the microwave,but not this one. Its very compact, and takes up less space to store also.
Has allot of flat wide space on the inside bottom, with rounded up sides, which makes for
easy washing, or put in the...Read more

This very light weight casserole dish seems like it would break as soon as you touch it, but it seems to take all the punishment that I deal it. Easy to use, easy to clean and does not need a forklift to get it out of the cabinet and into the oven. If I had room I would get more. The plastic lid is a nice add on, but yet have seen a need for it.
