I ha...Once again, thank you for great information! I have the Kyle Coroneos book, and while it does contain useful information, I have found the pricing information to be quite inconsistent. A one quart in one rare pattern will have a price suggestion that is very different from the price suggestion for a one quart in another rare pattern. An alphabetical index to help locate patterns in the book would be useful. It would also be nice if the pattern list was a bit more complete. There are lots of patterns that are not even mentioned in this book. The information that is there is a good starting point, though. Keep up the good work, Shane. You're a wealth of information, and a pleasure to read!Heather M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03397167253273413659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-77838382181024532842013-09-02T09:31:34.510-07:002013-09-02T09:31:34.510-07:00Hi Shane,

Does this make me a collector? When I realized I couldn't just go to the store and buy some more, I started buying it at Goodwill. Now I've given some to my sweet daughter-in-law. I spread the pyroceram gospel. Thanks for a great post and for all your good recipes.rhonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10918177294505118411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-43468774316666794152013-08-30T18:01:04.918-07:002013-08-30T18:01:04.918-07:00Shane - a great post and some great information on...Shane - a great post and some great information on Corning Ware. I still do occasionally see pieces that I've never seen on either of the websites you've given. Most recently, I saw a Spice 'o Life rectangular pan that was larger than a brownie 8x8, but smaller than the A-21-B lasagne pan. I wasn't sure what it was. <br /><br />As for collecting, I'd say something becomes collectible only to the person who deems it worthy of collecting. If not a soul wants object X, it's not very collectible. You could throw Corning Ware at my friends and they would probably hurl it right back at me. They have absolutely no interest in it. <br /><br />As for me, I'm a burgeoning collector, bordering on obsession. It's taken me a substantial amount of restraint to not pick up every Corning Ware piece I see in a thrift store. I'm more a mish mash pattern collector, with most of mine in the Blue Cornflower. Then I have a few Spice 'o life, some French White, some Grab Its, and Spring Bouquet/Wildflowers pieces. <br /><br />daeiranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-18473385711005831102013-08-30T10:46:03.113-07:002013-08-30T10:46:03.113-07:00I just placed a second order for the plastic stora...I just placed a second order for the plastic storage lids from World Kitchen. They are having a sale making the price for the small ones anywhere from about .99 to 1.49 if you buy two or more. Also ordered for the 1 1/2 quart round french white and the 1 1/2 <br />qt. square blue cornflower. <br /><br />Denise K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-79275948378581817702013-08-30T10:03:55.352-07:002013-08-30T10:03:55.352-07:00HA HA HA!!!

She thinks I am insane. <br /><br />The best thing about the Grab-Its and the Minis (P-41 & P-43) is that if you have a "Corningware Corelle Revere outlet" nearby... You can still get the platic lids for both the Minis and the Grab-its. I got a bunch up in Centralia, Washington a couple years ago for 1.49 each. They DO make excellent freezer storage for individual portions. Love them!Shane T.

My resent acquisition of plastic storage lids has increased the usefulness of the grabit-it's and minis making freezing small servings of soups and sauces a snap. My cupboards boast of Blue Cornflower, Minis, Grab-its and French White. <br /><br />Looking forward to you next post. -- Denise K.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
