Corelle Livingware Corelle Fun Packs, 5 Pieces, Winter Frost White

Since you're at this page you've already found this particular set of 4 small bowls and one large serving bowl to be one of the best values. Corelle sells through all kinds of sellers and according to the manufacturer; different sellers have different models and packages and there can be a huge range in pricing. You are also probably here because you already know what Corelle is and how it compares to other products so I won't dwell on that but rather give you a few quick highlights of this particular set:1. I had a hard time visualizing how big (or small) these bowls actually are so I posted a photo comparing them to a common chicken egg. Hope it helps.2. Same with the shape. The small bowls have steeper sides than most bowls, which is exactly what I was looking for. The photo shows how steep.3. The sides of the larger bowl are not as steep; you can compare them in the photos.4. One thing some people don't like about Corelle is that it was not as thick as some other materials. I was impressed with the "heft" of these new bowls and compared it to a 20 year-old set of Corelle that I own. The photo shows an appreciable increase in thickness in the newer bowls.5. Corelle is still made in the U.S.A.6. These bowls ARE microwave safe, follow the directions. I chose them because most melamine bowls and plates are not microwave safe.7. These bowls are glass but it's really hard to break them. They are 3-layers thick. I've never broken a Corelle product in over 20 years of using them. But the manufacture says that even if you break one and it’s your fault they will replace it for 3 years.8. Important: Corelle products are coated with something at the factory to avoid scratching in shipment. Hand wash or put them through one dishwasher cycle before using them for the first time.I think this set of 4 small and 1 large bowl is an excellent value. I’m also impressed that they still make their products in the U.S.A. Isn’t it nice to find something in 2016 that is still as good (if not better) than something made 20 years ago?

My family has been using Corelle dinnerware for more than 20 years. My mom has a set of Corelle dishes/platters from 20+ years ago that are still going strong and currently in use! This is how durable and long-lasting they are! Corelle dinnerware is made from Vitrelle, a tempered glass that contains two types of glass laminated in three different layers. This gives the dinnerware superior strength and makes it more chip-resistant when compared to normal dinnerware. They are also more lightweight than porcelain or ceramic, and the material is surprisingly thin considering its hardiness. That being said, they are by no means shatter resistant, just generally stronger. I think my mom ended up losing a total of two plates from her original set over the 20 years. I purchased this Corelle Livingware 5-pack set with four 28 oz bowls and one 2 quart serving bowl while Amazon was having a sale during the holiday season.What I like about these particular bowls is their deep-set shape. Most of the sets Corelle have available don't contain these deep-set bowls but come with shallower smaller-sized soup bowls. These 28 oz bowls, on the other hand, make the perfect ramen/noodle bowls, especially if they're soup-based, and hold a decent amount of volume. There is also a 2-quart shallower bowl included in this set that makes a decent serving bowl.My only complaint is that I wish Corelle would offer these bowls in more variety of designs. There are so many retired designs that I wish they would bring back, but ever since World Kitchen bought Corelle/Corningware, it seems like they've taken to introducing more abstract/modern designs rather than the simple floral patterns I prefer. Only the color "Frost" (pure white) was available for sale for this particular set, so I ended up purchasing it. They are a bit plain for my tastes, but if you like a minimalist design, this would be great! Hopefully they'll last 20+ years!

I remembered the Corelle my mother used to have holding up well to abuse, so I decided to replace my old tempered-glass dish set (with many missing pieces) with these. I didn't want heavy dishes because I have arthritis and am not getting any younger.Instead of buying a boxed set of so many place settings, I opted for the six-packs of dinner plates, luncheon plates, and bread-and-butter plates plus the Fun Pack that has the serving bowl and four large 28 oz. bowls. I plan to get colorful mugs and placemats to complement the dishes.The dinner plate is perfect as a microwave cover for the serving bowl, and the bread-and-butter plates are perfect to cover the individual bowls. The plates stack efficiently in my cupboard; using one of those Closet Maid-type shelfs, I can stack all six of the dinner plates and bread-and-butter plates on the top and the luncheon plates (with serving bowl on top) and the four bowls stacked side by side underneath in just one small area of my cupboard. For an apartment with relatively little kitchen cabinet space, this is a real blessing.Some have complained that these bowls seem thin, but remember: they are Corelle, and the Vitrelle material they are made of is not your usual stoneware or tempered glass. I actually dropped a plate on the floor the other day from sink height (not something I'd recommend you deliberately do!), and it bounced on the vinyl flooring and did not break. I expect these dishes will hold up very well in daily use (microwave, dishwasher, oven), and they won't off-gas dangerous chemicals in the microwave like plastics will.

Exactamente el tamaño justo, super durables, me encantaron.

Love it they're just the right size!

Esta marca me encanta, uso sus platos como vajilla para uso diario y me han durado años.

Los platos hondos son más grandes de lo que esperaba, y no se apilan muy bien, a diferencia de los que están incluidos en la vajilla completa, pero aparte de eso son de muy buena calidad, y el plato hondo puede servir muy bien de ensaladera.

Se ven bien los platos, Tienen buen tamaño para servir, se pueden conbinar con otras vajillas de la misma marca
