Restricted Foods

Video of the Day

Extreme temperature shifts may fracture CorningWare products. For this reason, do not use CorningWare dishes to heat prepackaged convenience foods or microwave popcorn. These items typically contain special browning wrappers that generate excess heat.

Appliance Restrictions

Some microwave convection ovens feature built-in browning elements designed to crisp food. To prevent potential breakage, never use CorningWare in conjunction with a browning feature. Also avoid heating an empty or partially-filled CorningWare dish; choose CorningWare dishes which appropriately accommodate food quantity.
