原来是这样！
The original "French White" Corningware was made of Corning's famous
pyroceramic glass, which could be used on the gas stove, put directly in the
freezer, put under the broiler right from the freezer, and oh yes, also
used in a microwave. And it was very unlikely to shatter if dropped. If you
pounded on it with a hammer and nail you might have gotten it to break.
When World Kitchens bought the license from Corning, they decided to halt
production of a line of cookware that would take anything and last forever,
and dupe customers, especially brides, into thinking the stoneware "French
White" was the same thing as the wonderful French White pyroceramic cookware
previously available to their mothers and sisters.
The pattern is very attractive and can be used with any decor, and they do
offer many sizes, but this stuff is not, repeat, really not, what people
mean when they say "Corningware."
Le Creuset can do most of the above mentioned, but it being metal you cannot
use it in the microwave. Stoneware cannot go on top of the stove, and
repeated trips from the freezer to the oven will eventually cause it to
craze and crack. And stoneware will also chip, and break if dropped, etc.
Pyrex glassware cannot go on the gas stove although you can take it from the
freezer to the oven, and also microwave it.
The only product which could do anything was pyroceramic, and World Kitchens
has chosen to remove it from the market because it is "too good."
They have recently brought back a few of the old square shapes in
pyroceramic, with the Cornflower, or plain white, calling it "vintage," but
the French White shape is not making an appearance yet. If you want it,
email them and ask for it!
Meanwhile, don't buy this stuff. Get Le Creuset for cooking and roasting (
yes it is expensive but it lasts forever and cooks beautifully), and reheat
things in Pyrex in the microwave.
