Corningware Stovetop Cookware in Pyroceram is Back!
Were you even aware that stove-top-safe Corningware had gone off the market for a few years?
Corningware is hi-tech? Yes!
Corningware Pyroceram was invented in 1953 by Dr. S. Donald Stookey of Corning’s Research and Development Division. He was researching heat-resistant materials that would withstand thermal shock on the nose cones of ballistic missiles… and then adapted this technology for cookware.
Original CorningWare
The original CorningWare was made of pyroceramic glass that could be taken from freezer to oven and back without cracking or breaking. It was recommended for stovetop cooking on conventional and glass cooktops using low to medium temperatures, and for dishes that contained a significant amount of liquid.
New CorningWare
In the 1990s, CorningWare's pyroceramic glass was replaced by a lighter ceramic material that was not nearly as tolerant to fluctuations in cold and heat. The updated version was also not recommended for use on conventional or glass cooktops or stovetops, grills, under broiler elements or to cook food in toaster ovens.
CorningWare Compromise
Since consumers were used to the durable CorningWare of years past, they continued to use the newer cookware in the same manner, which resulted in dishes exploding inside ovens and on countertops as they were exposed to extreme changes in temperature.
Product Availability
Since the early 2000s, the only places to buy original varieties of CorningWare were garage sales, thrift stores and through online auction sites. However, since the change in ownership, all types of CorningWare are now also available at cookware shops and department stores.
How to Tell Which CorningWare You Have
Particularly if you are purchasing CorningWare secondhand, it can be difficult to tell which variety of the cookware you have. The first CorningWare was made with an embossed stamp on its base. In many cases, it read "Pyroceram," as well. A stylized flame design was often used on these pieces to indicate that they were safe for cooktop use.
