#corningware set

[msbarrows]

Oct 14 - Busy, busy day. It was Thanksgiving today, so I spent the day rotating between various turkey-dinner related tasks, doing three rounds of dishes (pre-prep, after-prep, and then after dinner), playing some more Planet Crafter, doing laundry since said game meant I didn't get it done earlier this weekend, and crocheting whenever I was giving my feet a rest.

I go into way too much detail about the meal under the cut.

The turkey wasn't too much of a problem since I was roasting it unstuffed, but it proved to be too big for our regular roasting pan so I had to dig around and find the giant aluminum roasting pan (complete with lifting rack) that my brother and I have inherited from our dad, and give it a wash before using, which delayed getting the turkey in the oven.

When our cousin was here last weekend he brought over a ziplock of wild cranberries he'd picked at his camp, so I turned those into orange spice cranberry sauce (1 lb of fresh cranberries, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon each of ground cloves and ginger, 1/2 teaspoon each of allspice and cinnamon, about 1 teaspoon or so of orange zest, bring to a boil, turn down and simmer 10-15 minutes, then remove from heat and let cool, it should form into a stiff jelly). It made enough for today plus some to have with the leftovers plus enough to throw a small jar of it into the freezer for future use.

Also cubed the slightly-less-then-a-half-loaf of cornbread I had left (good job past me on randomly deciding to bake a loaf of that last week, that was a particularly good choice for making dressing out of) spread them out on a cookie sheet and let them dry for most of the day. Then I combined it with minced onion, dried chives, coarsely chopped walnuts, poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper, then stirred it while gradually adding chicken broth and some melted butter to moisten it. Lightly pressed it down in a Corningware casserole, and when it was getting close to time for the turkey to come out of the oven I microwaved it to heat it through, then after the turkey came out it went in under the broiler to crisp up and brown the top. I was VERY pleased with the end result.

Other than that the only mildly complicated thing was making gravy; the drippings from the turkey were a little salty so I grabbed some homemade chicken stock out of the freezer to dilute that with. Was tight on time (especially since I was having to thaw chicken stock at the last minute) so rather than cooking a roux first I cheated and brought the drippings & stock to a boil then whisked hard while gradually pouring in some thin flour paste, then turned it down to medium and continued whisking until it thickened.

And of course there was mashed potatoes to go with the gravy, plus some green beans and peas for the veg.

Much to my surprise there was very little actual dishes to do after the meal; the turkey is in its lidded roasting pan in the (uninsulated, unheated, and it's currently 0C/32F outside) front porch overnight for me to do something with tomorrow. The leftover dressing and veggies and gravy are in the fridge in the Corningwaer pieces they were cooked in (we have the 4 cup saucemaker piece, including the twist-on handle; it is excellent for making gravy with and I'm glad it's one of the five surviving pieces from my parents' set). Which left just the pans the potatoes and cranberry sauce were cooked in and the chicken stock was melted in, a few utensils, plus the couple of dishes and cutlery the two of us used.

I am feeling pleasantly accomplished for getting all of that done and actually getting the timing of everything more-or-less right

Hey I saw that you are possibly using a vintage Corningware set for the recipe you shared. (Looks like the square Spice of Life or the cornflower blue)They are unfortunately pre OSHA, and the paint contains lead. I have heard they're not recommended for eating :(

I know this because I also collected and ate out of corningware until I realized it was early 70s and did a deep dive. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news but please don't eat out of these dishes- especially if you stack them inside of each other- if I am correct in identifying the top of that bowl handle 😭

I'm currently looking for the model numbers to try and track down production dates.

Thanks for the heads-up

curse the fact that i need to save money for three separate and expensive bills coming up because someone here in my hometown is selling a moose dinnerware set.

and another person is selling a 6-quart kitchen aid stand mixer in almost-new condition.

and yet another person is selling vintage corningware and pyrex bakeware

Can Corningware Lids Go in the Oven?- Safety Tips & Insights

Corningware lids can go in the oven if they are made of glass. Plastic lids are not oven-safe.

Corningware is a trusted brand known for its durable and versatile cookware. Many home cooks use Corningware for baking, roasting, and storing food. Knowing whether the lids are oven-safe is crucial for safe cooking. Glass lids can withstand oven temperatures and are safe to use.

Always avoid using plastic lids in the oven, as they can melt and release harmful chemicals. Checking the manufacturer’s guidelines ensures safe cooking practices. Understanding these details helps in making informed choices. Enjoy worry-free cooking with the right Corningware lids.

Corningware Lids And Oven Use

Many people love using Corningware for cooking and baking. But can Corningware lids go in the oven? Knowing the answer is important for safe cooking.

Material Composition

Corningware lids come in different materials. The two most common are glass and plastic. Each material has its own benefits and limitations.

Glass Lids — These are typically made of tempered glass. They can handle high temperatures.

Plastic Lids — These are often made of BPA-free plastic. They are great for storage but not for high heat.

Heat Tolerance

Heat tolerance varies between glass and plastic lids. Knowing the limits is important for safe use.

Types Of Corningware Lids

Understanding the types of Corningware lids is crucial for safe usage. Each lid type has specific uses and limitations. Knowing these can help you use your Corningware more effectively and safely. Let’s dive into the different types of Corningware lids.

Glass Lids

Glass lids are a common feature of Corningware dishes. They are designed to handle high temperatures. This makes them suitable for oven use. Glass lids allow you to monitor cooking without removing the lid. They are also easy to clean. You can wash them by hand or in a dishwasher. The only downside is they can break if dropped.

Plastic Lids

Plastic lids are another option for Corningware dishes. These lids are not designed for high temperatures. This means they should not go in the oven. Plastic lids are great for storage and reheating. They keep food fresh in the fridge. You can also use them in the microwave. Always check the lid’s specifications before using it.

In summary, knowing the types of Corningware lids is key to safe and effective use. Use glass lids for cooking and baking. Use plastic lids for storing and reheating. Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines for each lid type.

Safety Precautions

Using Corningware lids in the oven requires following safety precautions. Not all lids are oven-safe. Ignoring safety guidelines can cause damage or injury. This section covers important safety steps.

Preheating The Oven

Always preheat the oven before placing Corningware inside. Sudden temperature changes can crack the lid. Set the desired temperature and wait for the oven to reach it. Use an oven thermometer for accuracy.

Avoiding Thermal Shock

Thermal shock happens when a lid experiences rapid temperature changes. Never place a cold lid in a hot oven. Let the lid warm up gradually. Avoid putting a hot lid on a cold surface, like a countertop.

Proper Usage

Understanding the proper usage of Corningware lids is essential for safety and longevity. These lids can be used in the oven, but certain guidelines must be followed. This ensures your dishes remain intact and your meals come out perfectly cooked.

Temperature Guidelines

Corningware lids are designed to withstand high temperatures. Always check the specific temperature limits recommended by the manufacturer. Typically, glass lids can handle up to 450°F (232°C). This makes them ideal for most baking and roasting tasks.

For plastic lids, the temperature limit is usually lower. They are often safe for temperatures up to 350°F (176°C). Use these lids only for warming or low-temperature baking. Never use plastic lids under the broiler.

Handling Instructions

Proper handling ensures your Corningware lids last longer. Always use oven mitts when removing lids from the oven. The glass can get extremely hot and cause burns.

Place the lids on a heat-resistant surface after removing them from the oven. This prevents thermal shock, which can cause the glass to crack.

Do not expose the lids to sudden temperature changes. Avoid placing hot lids directly into cold water. This can also lead to cracking or breaking.

Keep the lids clean and free from food residue. This maintains their transparency and effectiveness.

Cleaning And Maintenance

Maintaining your Corningware lids ensures they last longer and perform better. Proper cleaning and storage are essential. This section covers cleaning tips and storage recommendations for your Corningware lids.

Cleaning Tips

Cleaning Corningware lids is simple with the right approach. Follow these tips for a spotless lid:

Handwash: Use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.

Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool or harsh scrubbers.

No Sudden Temperature Changes: Let the lid cool before washing.

Dishwasher Safe: Most lids can go in the dishwasher’s top rack.

Check for Damage: Inspect for cracks before and after cleaning.

Storage Recommendations

Proper storage keeps your Corningware lids in top condition. Follow these steps:

Dry Completely: Ensure lids are completely dry before storing.

Stack Carefully: Stack lids gently to avoid scratches and cracks.

Use Protection: Place a soft cloth between stacked lids.

Designated Space: Store lids in a dedicated area to prevent damage.

With these cleaning and storage tips, your Corningware lids will stay pristine. Enjoy cooking with confidence and ease!

Common Mistakes

Many people make mistakes with Corningware lids in the oven. These errors can lead to damage. Knowing these mistakes helps you avoid them. Let’s explore some common misuse scenarios and preventive measures.

Misuse Scenarios

High Temperature: Using lids at very high temperatures can break them. Always check the maximum temperature limit.

Direct Heat: Placing lids directly on a heat source can cause them to crack. Avoid direct contact with stovetops or broilers.

Improper Placement: Lids must be placed carefully in the oven. Uneven placement can lead to breakage.

Sudden Temperature Changes: Putting lids from the fridge directly into a hot oven can shatter them. Allow the lid to reach room temperature first.

Preventive Measures

Read Manufacturer Instructions: Always read and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines. This ensures safe usage.

Check Temperature Limits: Be aware of the maximum temperature the lid can handle. Do not exceed it.

Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven before placing the lid inside. This reduces the risk of sudden temperature changes.

Use Oven Mitts: Always use oven mitts to handle hot lids. This prevents burns and accidental drops.

Store Properly: Store lids in a safe place. Avoid stacking heavy items on them.
