Since the 1990's after World Kitchen acquired CorningWare the bakeware has been made of non-porous stoneware instead of glass-ceramic. This puts the emphasis on the newer types of cooking available (microwave, induction, etc.) and allows for a greater variety of styles and colors.
CorningWare Traditions vessels go from oven-to-table, and sometimes can function as your service as well making them your bakeware, serveware, and dinnerware. It's completely microwaveable and oven safe.
You should handle the heated bakeware with a potholder. You cannot use this line on the stovetop or under a broiler/griller, in your toaster oven, or under any direct heating source including open flames. CorningWare Traditions can be hand washed with non-abrasive soap, or loaded carefully in your dishwasher. It comes with a limited one year warranty.

CorningWare Traditions usually receives five star reviews. Of the Corningware Traditions Embossed Distressed White Pie Dish a five star reviewer gushes, "I love this pie dish. This looks like a plate that might grace the table of an old French farmhouse, passed down through generations, but it can stand up against an oven, a microwave, a dishwasher, a car trip, and, to my relief, my mother-in-law's heavy, knife wielding hand scraping at it. What more could you ask for? The whole set is now on my wish list for Christmas."
One says of the 2 quart covered round casserole dish with lid, "I just received this covered casserole dish and it's really good looking. It's nice to find an attractive casserole with a lid that's not just the standard CorningWare White -- although I have those too. The color and traditional styling of this casserole are really pretty as well."
