Setup and First Use

Operating Instructions

CorningWare French White bakeware is designed for versatility in your kitchen.

• Oven Use: The stoneware dishes are oven safe. Glass covers are also oven safe, typically up to 425°F (218°C). Avoid placing hot dishes directly on cold surfaces or vice versa to prevent thermal shock.
• Microwave Use: Both the stoneware dishes and glass covers are safe for microwave use.
• Refrigerator and Freezer Use: The dishes are safe for storing food in the refrigerator and freezer. Allow frozen dishes to reach room temperature before placing them in a preheated oven.
• Serving: The classic French White design allows for elegant oven-to-table serving.
• Avoid Direct Heat: Do not use CorningWare stoneware on stovetops, under broiler elements, or over any other direct heat source.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your CorningWare bakeware.

• Dishwasher Safe: All components of the set are dishwasher safe for convenient cleaning.
• Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Stain Resistance: The non-porous surface of the stoneware resists absorbing food odors, flavors, and stains, making cleaning easier.
• Stubborn Food Residue: For baked-on food, soak the dish in warm, soapy water before cleaning. A plastic or nylon scouring pad can be used for gentle scrubbing. Avoid metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, which can scratch the surface.
• Storage: Store dishes carefully to prevent chipping or cracking.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure dishes are adequately greased or lined when baking foods prone to sticking.
• Chipping or Cracking: CorningWare material is designed to resist chipping and cracking. However, extreme temperature changes (thermal shock) or impact can cause damage. Always allow dishes to cool gradually and avoid dropping them.
• Cloudy Glass Cover: If the glass cover appears cloudy after washing, it may be due to hard water deposits. Try soaking it in white vinegar for a few minutes, then washing and rinsing.
