It's the time of year again when we start craving comfort foods like soups, stews and casseroles. Some even feel like the doom and gloom of the autumn/winter season is on the horizon. Whether you look forward to or dread this season, add some colour to your life and infuse some pizzazz and flair into your fall cooking!
I love colour! It makes me feel energized and happy, and I love serving colour on the table. Not only does it look great, but I feel like it appears more appetizing to my kids. And you can never go wrong with that! Unless of course they are eating you out of house and home, then you might really want to dull it down! LOL
Included in the CW by CorningWare 4-piece set is the 1.9 quart Twilight Purple Shallow Baker, the 3 quart Pool Aquamarine Baker, the 1.5 quart Vermillion Red Baker and the 20 ounce Curry Yellow Baker. They nest into each other for compact storage and have a limited 1 year warranty. The stoneware bakers feel very durable, and are oven, microwave and dishwasher safe. It does not indicate on the packaging that it is or is not freezer safe, but if it's anything like the typical CorningWare casseroles, then I would expect that they would be. I would say try at your own risk.
The smaller yellow one would be a great size for making individual meals like shepherd's pie or lasagna. The purple shallow baker would be ideal for entertaining. It could be used as a colourful serving platter, or for this hot spinach & cheese dip recipe. (Not what's in the picture! LOL) The other two sizes would be perfect for all of your other typical casserole uses.
I used mine this morning (yes, this morning!) to put together a quick and simple casserole for my child's lunch. I simply boiled up some fresh packaged pasta, mixed it with some leftover sauce and sprinkled it with shredded cheese and dried parsley. Voila! - A meal that's easy on the eyes and on the elbows. No elbow grease was required in the cleaning of this baker! LOL I had lightly sprayed the casserole with cooking oil spray before putting the pasta and sauce in, and the dish was a cinch to clean!

CW by CorningWare is one of their latest lines. As these gurus of casserole dishes put it: "This is not your mom's CorningWare!". It's bursting with colour and comes in new trendy smooth shapes. Their 4-piece set is a great buy. It's an investment in a long lasting casserole sure to bring both functionality and style for years to come! Just like our moms' original casseroles from years ago, they keep on giving and have lasted for decades. I still have some of my mom's original Blue Cornflower CorningWare casseroles that I use to this day!
Like a lot of stoneware, their bottoms can be a bit rough, so be sure to place them on a trivet, pot holder or tea towel when serving on a counter or table top. It would be great if they came with lids for at least some, if not all of the bakers.
This CorningWare 4-Piece Casserole Set and their matching individual bakers are available where most CorningWare products are sold and retail for approximately $49.99 here in Canada.
Happy Fall Y'all! :)
