Some corningware is not meant for stovetop use. I have several old white square ones with a clear lid-they have a blue flower on the side and on the bottom they say for range use. There are also skillets but they don't work with a damn or else I haven't figured out how to not have stuff stick in them ;-(
The Visionware that are made from glass and are brownish or rose coloured. They are also meant for stove top BUT these are the ones that supposedly are heavy in metals and leach!! Huggins says with any type of pot put distilled water in it and leave it overnight. If you have great taste buds just taste the water in the morning from it and you can taste what has leached. The clear glass Pyrex are MOSTLY not for use ON the stove but only in the oven- it will tell you on the bottom. I think it is a matter of determining which is the lesser of the evils! LOL You can buy unbleached parchment paper from the health food store and it is reusable so it can be used on top of most things. I'm not sure either if it is any better....I imagine stuff offgases. as mentioned in another email, I would think the stoneware although not perfect would be a much better option then the steel pans... but I honestly don't know for sure. ;-) I don't get the part about the flatware? Is it better if it DOESN'T stick? - I took a bunch of it out of the drawer yesterday- none of the "good" set sticks except for the actual knife blades, then the cheap odds and ends that I had in drawer most stuck real good to the magnet.

But I use gas- I thought I could not cook with my corningware on the stove top. I mostly use my cast iron for frying (I love my cast iron), but the revere pots for steaming. I will dig out the silverware box from my stainless flatware and see if it is 300 or 400 series. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
