Anyone still use Corning Ware?

So what's wrong with the perception of something tasting better in older cookware? You don't have to share that sentiment if you don't want to :ROTF: I think food tastes better fried in cast, just my perception or my experience.

I agree. That's why I keep my vintage inherited cookware. It has mojo,
and I think it makes a bit of a difference, but...that being said...we've had the same cookware for 24 years of marriage, and the cooking has gotten better through much trial and error. Either one of us can still make some serious garbage in those special pots and pans.

Allright Kev, i'm a little slow here :ROTF: I got ya. I misunderstood what I read. I can cook some poo in mine as well, it just tastes like better poo in cast iron:ROTF::ROTF::ROTF:

Absolutely..they're great and last forever. My wife's been using the same cookware over 20 years. We eat home cooked meals 6 days a week..On Fridays we'll grab a pizza, subs, kfc or etc..and watch a movie.

So, our corning ware gets alot of action. In fact, she made chicken parmesian today!!!

One day when I figure out how the oven works I'll be sure to consult this thread.

On a related note do you know how many different entrees you can make with microwaveable popcorn?

Oh, yeah!
I love cheese popcorn!
We have a really old container of some god-awful stuff from the Dollar Store that I love. Serious. You can't find the stuff anywhere. It goes in MY BOWL, and nobody touches it.

A little story I told earlier:

My grandfather on my mother's side was a lumber camp cook for a while in his life. Think "chuck wagon cook", only more severe. He depended on wild game, whatever he could keep, potatoes, macaroni, rice, whatever. He had a certain set of untesils and pots and pans, and dutch oven, but his greatest tool was his cast iron skillet. I ended up with this skillet. My Mom cooked on this one through her life, but in the late 60's she somehow lost her touch on it so bad that everything she tried cooking on it came out either burnt, or just bad tasting. It got so bad my Dad started leaving early to work so he could get breakg\fast at a little diner on the way. Mom got distressed. It seemed like a huge deal. She thought he was having a romantic relation with a waitress!
Not too long after, My grandmother moved in, noted the old "griddle", and seasoned it back into shape by cooking bacon and lard into it. Damn, the thing came back to life, the eggs started coming out great, and everything else as well. Grandma fixed the old "griddle", and fixed a marriage at the same time.

It's all about the powdered cheese.
We still use First Act popcorn, but I put that cheese on mine.
It's probably loaded with salt, I haven't looked.

My wife still uses corningware, graniteware(oh the finds at garage sales). My grill even has an iron rack for added flavor.

The great thing about Corning Ware and thriftstores or fleamarkets is you can get the stuff really cheap. The even greater thing is some of that stuff sells for a pretty penny on ebay. And so does RevereWare. Think big.

[lerxstcat]

My sisters are both well armed with Corningware and other quality cookware and know how to use it. I don't have any though, but they would probably assemble me a kit from their older unused stuff if I asked. As it is I "cook" with a microwave and a crockpot and that's about it.

If taken care of, Corning Ware should last a lifetime. I still use mine weekly.
