Corningware Celebrates 60 Years of Kitchen Experience with Retro Look and Made-To-Last Design

There's no need to scour the vintage markets to find quality bakeware with a retro style. Iconic CorningWare has re-launched its original blue Cornflower motif to celebrate its 60th anniversary this year.

Made to last, the cookware, still in demand in antique stores in Australia, is the triple threat in the kitchen. It can be used for cooking, serving and storing food. As one early advertisement said, "It makes no sense to cook in one dish, serve in another, and store in a third."

The original glass-ceramic material, Pyroceram®, was a marvel of engineering in the 1950s but became an accidental hero of the kitchen. Dr Donald Stookey of Corning's research and development division in the US was testing a type of glass plate when a furnace malfunctioned, heating it to 900 degrees Celsius. Instead of melting, it kept its form and turned white. The glass also accidentally fell to the floor but didn't break.

Originally used as rocket nose cones and other military applications, the material then became CorningWare and was introduced for home use in 1958. But that doesn't mean CorningWare bakeware hasn't evolved.

The innovation continues

Fast forward 60 years and the ability to prepare, store and serve one-dish meals is as valuable today as ever. New designs and styles have also been introduced for every taste, from wedding-gift staple French White® bakeware to bold new colours.

Stoneware collections have also been introduced to provide home cooks with a more comprehensive range, and CorningWare is continually looking for ways to help make inventive, time-saving, family-friendly meals from start to finish with no stress and no mess. That's what makes CorningWare bakeware so indispensible.

The Classics range (Pyroceram) with the Cornflower Blue pattern compromises 1L, 1.5L, 2L, 3L and 5L (RRP $59.95 - $159.95) casserole dishes with Pyrex glass lids and is available from David Jones and Peter's of Kensington only . This range is suitable for oven, electric and halogen stovetops, and microwave use, and is fridge and freezer safe.

The CorningWare 60th Anniversary Collection (made of stoneware, not suitable for stovetop use) compromises four bakers (591ml, 1.4L, 2.3L & 2.8L RRP $9 - $30) and is available nationally at Big W.
