CorningWare French White Bakeware comes in 27 different vessel shapes and sizes. Included are casseroles, loaf pans, round dishes, au gratin sets, ramekins, pie plates and even mugs. This line has a white, fluted design with elongated edges for easy handling, and transparent Pyrex glass covers so you can see your food as it bakes.
The CorningWare French White product line is dishwasher safe and healthy.
World Kitchen bought the brand in the late 1990's, promptly "redesigned" the product, and shipped manufacturing overseas. WK is trading on the reputation of CorningWare while offering a product that bears no resemblance to the original in versatility or durability."

The Amazon ratings for this bakeware are spotty at best, with one star and five star ratings alike for the separates. A set sold in 8 pieces receives a 3 1/2 star rating overall. One reviewer who rates it poorly is aware of the history,
"For those who are not familiar with the original U.S.-made glass/ceramic CorningWare, this cheaply made substitute may seem like a good deal. For those of us who still have pieces of the original CorningWare, this product is a horrible substitute.
Almost half the reviewers disagree, however, and give the line 5 star ratings.
"I am thrilled with the versatility and aesthetics of the French White CorningWare. I have baked several casseroles and desserts in these with perfect results. I like that I can take the dish from the oven to the table and they look very nice with my other white dishes and serving sets.
"I like the timeless look of all the white that won't look dated in a few short years. After a meal it is extremely handy just to pop on a lid and place them in the fridge. They also wash up very nicely. I usually hand wash them due to their size, but from time to time I have put the pieces in the dishwasher and they come out fine. I always make sure to put the plastic lids on the top rack so they don't melt and they have not warped at all."
Of the separates, the set of four ramekins rates five out of five stars. All but one reviewer gives it five stars. For this set most were happy with everything except that they don't stack,
"These little ramekins are very useful. They great for use as little fruit cups, desserts, or just for snack dishes. They're also perfect for those parties as dip holders. The only drawback to me is they are not stackable which would make them more than ideal but it's a small drawback!"
