Yes, Corelle and Corning dinnerware are microwave safe because they are made from Vitrelle.
Corning ware indicates that it is safe up to 350 F. It is actually safe up to over 450 degrees, but the glass top is not. My Mom's used this stuff in the oven since the 50s (yes, original pieces even). Corning ware was developed from the same stuff they used on ballistic missles.
no, it is too fragile and has not been 'tempered' to withstand high temperatures. YES!! The Corelle website says that it is oven safe in a PREHEATED oven to 350 degrees. Ref: http://www.corelle.com/index.asp?pageId=28
Pyrex (the traditional borosilicate glass Pyrex made by Corning before 1998) is safe for both applications. Avoid the more recent Pyrex made by World Kitchen. The January 2011 issue of Consumer Reports indicates that it is not safe.
It will have to cope with much greater heat in a conventional oven. However, as oven-ware it must have been fired and glazed in a kiln, where it would be subjected to greater heat than a domestic provides. If you decide to try it, use a cold oven to start and then a low heat [140C] for half an hour then cool in oven.
No, ceramic ware is not cheap if you want it to be microwave, diswasher, and oven safe. There are some cheap ceramic products but those usually contain toxic chemicals like lead.
yes.
No, they are made of melmac/melamine which is not microwave-safe.
Corningware is specifically made to be able to go into the microwave and oven, so yes, you can as long as you are using the glass lid that came with the dish.
According to Gladware FAQ, they are microwavable but they recommend lifting one corner of the lid for ventilation.
When moving into a new home, you will need to make sure you have all of the pots and pans you need according to how much you cook. You will also need adequate dishes to eat on and drink out of, and you will need some kind of oven safe and microwave safe dishes.
They are objects decoratively covered with lacquer. The lacquer - a transparent or sometimes colored, very durable woodfinish - was and is often used to cover and protect decorations made on the wood of the object.
