Correlle Dinnerware

By
I finally went to the Correlle showroom at the Grapevine Mills mall in Grapevine, TX where they have a good collection of Correlle and Corningware dinnerware and bakeware.

We finally decided on the Shadow Iris square 30-pc set that has 2 plates, 2 bowls and 1 mug per person. From past experience, I was left with a plate from different sets when they broke and this time we bought enough for 12 and hope that this set will last us several years.

There was a sale going on at the showroom and we bought two of these sets:

We decided to buy matching serving plates and bought the following:

1) Sugar and creamer set

8) Casseroles

We bought different sizes at the showroom. There seems to be just one size available on the website

9) Kitchen towels
The showroom had kitchen towels in the shadow iris design. I can't seem to find them online though.

10) Place mats
We did try them out on our dining table and it did not look good and neither did it fit our 4 seater dining table. We ended up returning the same.

Overall, I like the plates they are sturdy and have gone into the dishwasher and still retain the same quality. The bowls are plain but have come useful. I find myself using the smaller bowls more often. They are convenient for serving dessert especially ice creams. The salad plate is a little large and can be used as a plate by itself. The glasses are fine but not hardy. I managed to break one glass so far. I was about to place the glass in the sink and hit my hand against the dish drainer. The glass touched a spoon rest and broke into pieces. Hopefully I will get the time to go and buy a glass before the design is discontinued.

Overall, I am quite happy with the correlle set. It stacks up beautifully and the mugs look so pretty! The casseroles have been used for serving when I have entertained at home and they are quite good. As for the utensil set, I don't end up using it that often. It could have been something I could have done without. The sugar and creamer set is also not used either. The trays are good.

Coal-Fired Pizza My kids love Pizza. My wife and I, on the other hand, have left our love for Pizza behind. But, with the kids in tow, I started researching how to make a decent pizza from scratch. YouTube is filled with recommendations, so I had to make some choices for my very first Pizza. If you're looking for a quick-cooking Pizza, this isn't the recipe for you. This will take around 2 days, including fermentation and some work. As usual, Kamado Grill Classic is again my go-to cooking platform. References: John Setzler's ' Kamodo Joe Pizza '.  John Kenall's ' Easy Pizza Dough Recipe '. Vito Lacopelli's ' How to Make Perfect Pizza Dough at Home'  and ' freeze the Pizza for later '. Goals: Everyone has so many variations for making Pizza dough. I never realized the debate of Biga vs Poolish  dough making. Before we get into all the details, I set some goals. Type : I wasn't going for Neapolitan-style, very high-heat Pizza. The t...
