CorningWareFrench White 2.5-quart Oval Casserole with Glass Lid

Love the set took awhile to ship though

I haven’t yet used this particular casserole dish. I have had a smaller version this Corning-ware casserole for years and love everything about it. In particular, it is easy to clean and always looks sparkling new.

Was looking for a casserole dish with a lid. Have many casserole dishes that always need foil on top when cooking or re-heating food. Size mattered. Was hard to visualize what 2.5 qt. looked like. Pictures of 2.5 and 4 qt looked identical. In fact the picture of the 1.5 qt looked even bigger. So I did see a 1.5 qt in the store and realized that was too small and had a better idea of the 2.5 qt and 4 qt size. The 2.5 was the perfect size for the two of us.

An attractive serving dish serves as oven and microwave ready. I started with stuffed chicken breasts and followed up with scalloped potatoes. Perfect!

Perfect size for family meals. The design of the dish is beautiful. From oven to table, this serving piece is appropriate for formal dinners, too. I do wish the glass lid had a metal border rather than just unprotected glass.

Wanted a casserole dish in this size. My wife was irritated because we both went looking and I found the best one. The rimless glass cover makes checking efficient and the quality can’t be beat. Corning, Inc. sold this business decades ago, but World Kitchens has sustained the quality and aesthetic.

I purchased the CorningWare French White 2.5-quart Oval Casserole with Glass Lid from Amazon in January 2024. I used this item several times with no problem. Today, Easter Sunday., I made a sweet potato casserole that I baked at 350 for 35 minutes. My timer went off and I turned to get my pot holders and heard a noise. I thought a pot or pan had fallen in my cupboard. When I opened the door of the oven, the glass lid had exploded. There was glass all over the potato casserole and bottom of oven. I did take a picture of it if you would like me to send to you. Needless to say, casserole and what remained of the lid are being picked up with our garbage Monday morning.

This lid fit perfectly and was really needed.
