Is the French White CorningWare safe for stovetop at medium to low heat settings?

No not used for top of the stove, just fot baking in the oven. You can serve in the same dish.

No. The newer French White CorningWare isn't the same quality as the original CorningWare. They look the same but the current CorningWare is not as durable. World Kitchen, Inc. says this about their product. "We no longer manufacture Corningware that can be used on the stovetop. All Corningware products are now manufactured from stoneware."

I would not worry about it shattering, if that is your question. CorningWare is tough! but it's a large sized item (9" by 13")--it covers about a burner and a half on my gas stove, making it a little awkward when using it on top.

I have this pan as well as other sizes and exclusively use them on my gas stovetop. The info that comes with the pan says not to overheat it as it could effect the non-stick coating.

Yes - the pot and lid are made of glazed and fireproof ceramics and is safe for all food use. It is safe to put directly on stove or in the oven. Note that the bottom of accompanying cedar wood steamer basket is made of perforated terracotta and is not glazed. The brochure that comes with the set has directions on how to prepare the steamer set and the basket for best results and years of usage. Please read more in the product description or e-mail us and we will be happy to answer any questions. Counterpoint Staff.

That's probably ok. I ended up ruining mine be repeatedly heating it without anything in it (I kept getting the burner knobs mixed up). Eventually the enamel coating popped off the iron core. So there is some temperature sensitivity in the enamel coating. Granted, I was stupid. I should have been more careful. :(

I've used it over a medium gas flame dozens of times. It's always my practice to start on low heat for about 20 to 30 seconds and then up it to a medium flame. I put it back on the stove (same burner turned off) to let the tea steep. And then I leave it there or move it to another unlit burner. I never place it on the counter or in the sink while it's hot. I read somewhere that glass cookware can break if it comes into contact with cold water while it's hot. After the kettle has cooled I place it in the sink to wash it. With glass it's always safest to avoid sudden temperature changes.

I use mine for stirring soups I make on the stovetop and making scrambled eggs all the time and have never had a problem. I can't say that I've heated them to 500 degrees, though.

Nancy, I turn my electric stove all the way to *high* with this burner...it's cast iron, so, there are no worries. You have to be concerned with your percolator....is it glass? Then I would only go up to medium. I use vintage Pyrex flameware saucepans to cook with and they are glass....but they are a thick borosilicate glass and can withstand high temps. I also use a glass teapot, also Pyrex flameware, and put it on high to boil water....no problems.I have two of these burners and although the one side that was coated is all chipped off now, they work perfectly and appear that they will last for my lifetime.

My experience is that they were only useful for mildly warm handles. Definitely not oven safe! I ended up purchasing some Le Creuset brand that are far superior but not oven safe either.

It is indeed oven safe to at least 350 degrees. I use this dutch oven quite often, in the oven and on my stove top. It is one of my favorite pieces of cookware because it is so versatile.

On the stove top--any temp. is fine. Cooks great, holds and distributes heat evenly. The pans are also oven safe up to 400 degrees.

I have used both glass and Corning ware up to 350 degrees. I make sure that they do not touch the sides nor the top of the Breivlle.

I have not yet baked anything in my new cookware, so have no personal experience. My first thought would be that even though the handles on the pots and skillets will withstand up to 400 degrees, I would be hesitant to expose the glass to that temp. Try contacting Circulon directly. Sorry I'm not of much assistance.

I have used it on high heat on a ceramic top stove, and I have had no issues. I have mainly used the pot as a canner.

It is stamped on the bottom "hand wash only" and does not have an indication that it is oven-safe. The porcelain/china is relatively thin, so I would assume it would not do well on a burner without a heat diffuser and on a lower temperature. Despite the hysterics of one answerer, I do not think it is an unreasonable question. I have not used this teapot (because of its oval shape), but have used many porcelain/thinner ceramic teapots on my charcoal-burning samovar and they do get some heat and flames from the bottom. Other than brown discoloration on the bottom, they have done well -- Except I did crack a very beautiful and very large fancy teapot when I accidentally put it on the samovar dry :( It is stamped on the bottom "hand wash only" and does not have an indication that it is oven-safe.

I use a silular model on my gas cooktop all the time.. I find that a higher heat setting works better.. The more heat, there is, the quicker the corn pops and less time for the time there is for first corns poped to get burned. I use it to make kettle corn, I just use 2 teasoons of oil, 1/2cup of suger, a little salt, heat that up and put in a 1/2cup of corn.

The Le Creuset website states that stoneware can go in the oven. The maximum oven-safe temperature is 500°F / 260°C. But this isn't a garlic roaster. This is just to store garlic in to keep the garlic from getting moist. Personally I wouldn't try putting this in the oven, especially not with the lid on it.
