Tuesday

anybody remember the clear smokey glass cookware from the 70s or 80s that was stovetop safe? my mom had a couple pieces. I didn't really like it but never used it much. was that a corning product?

love the old blue cornflower corning ware and I have at least a half dozen pyrex measuring cups, stacks of bakeware new and old. it's glass, be careful with it. it can break.
