(More customer reviews)If you ask World Kitchen via email, they'll claim "MADE IN USA" is insignificant to American consumers who welcomed imported CorningWare stoneware with open arms and consider it an improvement over the dear departed American-made Pyroceram.
Why, then, is "MADE IN USA" one of the major selling points of CorningWare's new SimplyLite lineup? Because it DOES matter and because CorningWare isn't just a brand. It's the very reason to buy the stuff as the superior alternative to stoneware.
SimplyLite recaptures CorningWare's heritage of innovation. It's made in Corning, New York from Vitrelle, the same material as Corelle LivingWare dishes. I bought this oblong baker at Target and handed it to my wife who immediately commented "What is this, plastic?" It really is that light in weight, but it'll do anything glass will do and a few things stoneware can't. Bake in it, freeze in it, put away leftovers in it without any worries about staining or reactions from acidic foods like tomato sauce. When you're through, throw it in the dishwasher. The only two places you can't use it are on the stove and under the broiler.
The surface is unusually smooth because Vitrelle is a composite of milky white glass under a layer of clear glass. That's why even baked-on mac 'n' cheese slides right off. Should there be any leftovers, the see-through plastic lid snaps on and leaves the contents visible.
