Pyroceram

stark · 2007-09-18T18:57:07+00:00

I've got this warming platter, trademark pyroceram, probably corningware, but can't remember when or why we got it. It's almost round with a rim, a little bigger than a two or three quart casserole; it sits on short legs. I've asked Corningware, but since they've been purchased by a second party, I'll probably get a big "duh." Anybody have one or remember having one? How do you heat it? Stovetop, oven or microwave? Looks like the bottom is supposed to heat up and keep casseroles warm at table or buffet. If the whole thing heats up it would have to sit on a trivet or pad. I just can't remember.

Pyroceram was Corning's name for its partially crystallized
glass, also called Corning Ware. Its resistance to heat shock is
great but I don't think I even heated it directly on a stove
top.

Is there no place for warming candles underneath it? It sound a bit
like this sort of thing:

The original Corningware could be used on stovetop or under a broiler.
(and it said so in tiny print under the handle or on the bottom.) The
newer stuff is just stoneware and only good for oven or microwave.

Your description makes me think of a Corningware microwave browning pan
-- you'd preheat the thing (there's a grey center part) and then drop
your chops in to brown and cook them.

It's just a ceramic platter, with very short legs. Corningware white
on top, but underneath there's this honeycombed pattern to indicate
the warming capability. I'll try to take a pic of it and post.

Let's see if this works.
