The Iconic White And Blue CorningWare Dishes Are Officially Back In Stores

Aug 15, 2018 by apost team

You may remember homemade casseroles and bread from your youth, made in the simple white dishes with a blue cornflower on them. You might be surprised to know that demand has spiked for them recently, with people paying hundreds of dollars for the vintage dishes on online auctions.

The dishes came out in 1958 after the material known as CorningWare had been used at NASA for a few decades. It was originally made in a laboratory on accident in 1952 by Dr. Donald Stookey. He was melting a piece of glass as an employee of Corning Glass Works but baked it above temperature on accident. When it developed a white film and didn't break, it was sent over to NASA and eventually turned into a line of dishes.

The pans are a simple throwback to a time when people cooked more and ate a bit healthier, and the nostalgia doesn't hurt for cooking inspiration. But they were bestsellers for many decades due to their easy nonstick surface and the solid form, which isn't too shallow or too deep.

These are great, affordable pans that come with lids. They are perfect for stuffing, sweet potato casserole, roasts, baked gravy, and more. The new release of the full collection of pans offers a better option than used, which can sometimes come without lids. The release commemorates the 60th anniversary of the company, which distributed the pans as a bestseller for decades.

You can now get the famous blue and white set as a measuring cups, or just add to your collection of casserole dishes. Also new in the blue and white line from Corelle Brands are ramekins, plates, and a knife set. The many variations and sizes of casserole dishes and bread pans are sure to give you options for cooking like never before.

The dishes are easy to clean and nearly impossible to scratch or break. They withstand extremely hot and cold temperatures and temperature changes exceptionally well. These are sure to get your cooking mojo going as you recall family dinners and homemade bread. But they bake modern dishes just as well and resist grease and sticking as well as they did before.

With round corners and gentle angles for easy food service, these are sure to become a go-to pan for you, just as they might have been for your mother or grandmother. What a great way to try out that new bread recipe or Thanksgiving dinner this year.

And you know what the best part is? The dishes are extremely affordable and available for purchase online and in stores.
