I am trying to find a name for my 3L Dutch Oven pattern and cannot find it anywhere. Corning Ware, Made in France, under the handle, all white with bright red stem with 4 leaves (2 on each side of stem). Under second handle A-3-B 3L and 18 under that. Does anyone know what pattern it is?

I inherited a 10-cup electric percolator model P-80 not P-80-EP with trivet, complete. I tried to sell it on Ebay and it was taken down. That's when I first heard about the recall. Is there a difference between the P-80 and the P-80-EP models?

I have a large Blue cornflower Corningware Cookmate (totally flat bottom) A22B w lid. Also a Blue cornflower 4 Qt P34B Dutch oven with lid and metal cradle. Any idea of the rarity or value of either or both? We are older and don't need these any more.

Can you tell me what was the first piece available to public? I have a boxed set with display introducing CorningWare. Would this be a 1958 piece? It is a 10-inch Skillet with pyroceram lid included is a handle and cradle.

The picture is slid to the right, and about a third of it is missing. This casserole appeared in my house and no one will acknowledge ownership. My daughter thinks I bought it at a yard sale but I swear I don't remember! Anyway, any added value because of its misprint? Where would I sell something like this? Thanks!

I used the quiche dish often to transport and serve cookies and squares especially during the holidays. To my dismay, last Christmas I could not find my quiche dish. I asked all of my family members if I had left it at their houses to no avail. I figured, no problem, I would just pick up a new one at the Corningware store or Walmart. Well I soon realized I was sadly mistaken! That's when my obsession began and I have been scouring thrift stores for any original pieces of French White I can find. I will admit that tears sprang to my eyes when I found a quiche dish at Value Village! Today's find was an F14B roaster (no lid). It needed quite a bit of cleaning and I can't get the grey tinge off of the ridging so I guess the finish is worn. I also realized my Casual Elegance salad bowl is vintage, so I picked up a matching oblong bowl with lid at Value Village. I haven't been able to find any, but I would love to find some French Black. But my most exciting find so far has been a mint condition small white Buffet Server for 5 dollars! Now I'm really obsessed and want the other sizes! I have since had to buy a new shelving unit for my kitchen.Ellennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-59944365032344753672019-01-11T10:24:44.134-08:002019-01-11T10:24:44.134-08:00Yes, it can be cleaned!

Over the past 2 weeks, I've used various pieces from my Blue Cornflower collection to make eggplant parmesan, a quick tomato sauce (for the eggplant parm), General Tso's shrimp with broccoli, Chinese eggplant with garlic sauce, a mixed dal (masoor & moong dals), bhindi masala, aloo bhindi masala, zucchini in Thai green curry sauce, and rice pudding.ItsMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755761718900895617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-33767547416053806102018-09-15T02:22:27.965-07:002018-09-15T02:22:27.965-07:00Yellow can of Easy Off Oven Cleaner.

I have several of the plastic lids and really like them. They fit the corning very tightly and are handy in the fridge because you can stack items with the lids on. They say they are only top rack safe in the dishwasher but then I never use the heated drying cycle. So I figure I could use them in the lower one also. Just don't lose one or destroy one or you will kick yourself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276608745809098353.post-80598362818979310032018-08-26T15:07:24.288-07:002018-08-26T15:07:24.288-07:00I have been enjoying collecting Corning ware.

I would just put a small turkey breast in the big casserole and stuffing in the smaller one and pop them in the oven. I also had a recipe for a Chicken casserole that I made for years. My problem now is what do I make in my corning ware pieces. I have used a 10 inch skillet for Tamale pie. I browned the ground beef in the skillet, added the other ingredients and then put the corn bread batter on top and pop it in the oven. I need more recipes like this. I also use the large casseroles to make homemade soups. But I am inspiration lacking these days. I have read cookbooks and such and am not coming across good recipes for corning ware.
