Next, I have a dish that has embossed into the dish itself Corning with the flame and Ware underneath, then “9 in Made in USA” and A-30 ...is this dish pyroceram and can it also be used Freezer, oven, stovetop and microwave? What does the number 279 MA mean after Corning NY USA? More than 750 million pieces of CorningWare have been manufactured.
A partial product list includes: browning skillets, cake pans, casserole dishes, coffee pots (drip), dinner service (Centura by Corning), Dutch ovens, frying pans, grab-it bowls, loaf pans, percolators, pie plates, ramekins, restaurant ware (Pyroceram), roasters, sauce pans, skillets, souffle dishes, and teapots. (Especially since the Amana Colonial House house is missing - Amana's Trademark) There have been a few of these type items popping up over the last couple of months. I have an A-18, 10 1/4x8 1/2x2 1/4 roaster. Do you know your A B Cs? Hubby heard the radio broadcast & bought a piece recently at the antique store thinking it was worth something, lol It indeed is "Spice of Life" item # A-10-B 10x10 w/ lid perfect condition, I just don't care for it. The lids of CorningWare and Pyroflam (Europe) are typically made of Pyrex. CorningWare is safe to use so long as the manufacturer's instructions are followed. Much appreciated, I just bought an F-16-b for 50 cents today.
Great Site, I have a question about my Spice O' Life 6 Cup Teapot. These are oven safe, to a point. Ethereal theme. Vinegar and isopropyl alcohol will also do this.
I have a square plain white 3 liter baking dish with A-3-B 3L U.S.A under one of the handles.
I saw a tutorial somewhere showing that you should NOT stack saucepans (which don't stack straight anyhow) because there is greater chance of chipping.I have limited space for storage, and my question is this: would be be all right to stack casserole dishes of the same width -- for instance a 1 L dish within a 2.5-Liter dish? Arc International, Europe, sells equivalent cookware to Corning Ware under the name Arcoflam and, in the United States, through Princess House as Nouveau cookware with a slightly different design. Also, I have a butterscotch round, which I believe was only produced in 1969-70, that has the "Cornflower" stamp (similar to the 1969-72 version). I also have her Griswold cast iron that was probably a wedding gift (1939-1957 based on the stamp; she was married in 1948, but didn't really buy household stuff for herself until they bought a house in 1959). Every attempt has been made to make certain that the information on this web site is as accurate as possible. But the Graffia ones do not say, and I'm having trouble dating them to figure out if they're pyroceram or not. Then I started reading comments and saw you actually answer. There is a lot of variation in the shade of blue used for the design.
I have a Pyrex P-7-C lid for a Corningware dish, and I was wondering what is going on with it. I had no idea they did that to the Casserettes. Originally, it was made from a material known as pyroceram, which was a mixture of glass and ceramic. Pieces I added to my "Royal Family" set (10 in skillet with 1qt,1 1/2 & 1 3/4 qt saucepans) included a 2 1/2 saucepan around 1961. This is a non-commercial web site providing information for educational purposes only. It was a replacement option for all the recalled stainless steel rimmed ones they had been selling through the 60s and 70s. In 1998 however, due to slumping sales and retooling of manufacturing plants, Corning sold off the CorningWare and Pyrex lines to World Kitchen, LLC. Listed retail price is $19.95 as of November 2010. There is also a stamp on my butterscotch buffet dish with both the starburst, and cornflower designs. It also has a wavy groove pattern on one half of the lid but not the other. I found an Amama Radarware plain white browning skillet marked 1180 MA. Anyway, thanks for posting all this info - it's an excellent reference source!!! She should have taken a picture with design not just the numbers.
I have a question about my Spice O' Life 6 Cup Teapot. The coorisponding lid model numbers usually end in a C for "Cover". she is wearing an orange dress. CORNING WARE r(Flower design)6 CUPModel number not on pot, stainless lid and band, black bakelite handleMight you know the year? The B-34 in the photo is only the mold number designating which hand press was used to form the piece.
