corelle dinnerware products?

i am really interested in corelle dinnerware products, however, these products got really high heat transfer. could we be able to change anything? Katherine...

Answer
No idea what you are asking. Who is WE?

Corelle plates and dishes surpass other dinnerware popularity because they are UNBREAKABLE... even when DROPPED on a floor! No one uses them in an oven, although they can be safely microwaved or placed in a warm oven to keep a plate warm for someone coming home late. If a soup bowl or a coffee cup should break, they can be replaced free of charge with a LIFETIME warranty at any place that sells the product. Any household with toddlers or clumsy children should invest in these dishes which are widely available at inexpensive prices and even secondhand shops in a vast array of colours and designs to coordinate with decor or personal taste. I have been using them for longer than my 19-yr old son has been alive, and I have never once scorched a wooden tabletop, burned a linen tablecloth, or melted a vinyl placemat with a single Corelle dish, plate, bowl, cup, or platter. No one who uses the Corelle dishes in my house even knows what "high heat transfer" means! ;-)

Corelle's parent company CORNINGWARE and the Anchor Hocking Company also make a line of PYREX baking dishes and cooking pots. These however are NOT unbreakable. I have shattered two of them in an oven while adding room temperature broth to a hot roasting dish. But that was my mistake, not the bakeware's. The very molecular ovensafe nature of Pyrex itself makes it necessary for them to conduct heat well. As with ANY other type of casserole or baking dish, these never go onto a table set for a family meal in any way shape or form. In my house, they go onto a large butcherblock cutting board padded with dishtowels, and the hot food entrees are served in portions without moving the container. Much less hassle that way with reduced chance for burns, spills, stains and other kitchen calamities.

So, once again, I do not understand why or what you wish to change. If it ain't broke, don't fix it ;-)

Corelle Dinnerware - SQUARE DESIGNS - help!!!?

Blueberry

Does anyone own any Corelle Dinnerware - the SQUARE designs?

We are looking to make our first Corelle "investment" and are excited, but for
3-days now I can't decide on the right set for our home. You would think that
picking out a new dinnerware set is pretty easy but on the contrary! I read
reviews and some of the consumers love the dinnerware but the designs/patterns
are nothing like what is advertised. Meaning, the color of the designs are
usually "off" or lighter, faded and less brighter than advertised......

With that, I want to know from those who have purchased any of the Corelle
Dinnerware - SQUARE designs:

1. Which pattern/design did YOU choose?
2. Is it what you EXPECTED?
3. Are you happy and pleased with it?
4. Do you RECOMMEND that design?
5. Would you purchase that particular design again if given the opportunity?

Thanks in advance!!!! Your opinions will save me from making a bad corelle decision, if there is such a thing....

Answer
Why not go to Walmart or some other store that actually carries Corelleware and look at the dishes in person? That is the only way you are going to see the actual color and design.

You need to pick a design you like, because they will be with you for a long time. I still have Corelle dinnerware that I bought thirty plus years ago.

Dinnerware set recommendations? Something that doesn't break easily?

Molly

My husband and I bought this corelle livingware dinnerware set:

http://www.amazon.com/Corelle-Livingware-16-Piece-Dinnerware-Sandstone/dp/B0000DDU2L/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=home-garden&qid=1225119029&sr=1-1

about a year ago. Since then, he has dropped 3 plates and 2 bowls. Every time this happens each piece shatters into hundreds of tiny glass shards and tiny sugar sized granules of glass, which are impossible to find.

Can anyone recommend dishes which won't shatter into such tiny sharp pieces or ones that are less likely to break?

worth of Blue Willow Ware dinnerware from Japan 1950 -1960 circa?

ivory1ebon

set of dinnerware with trim. 6 dinner plates, 6 saucers, 6 bread and butter plates 6 dessert bowls, and 6 cups
.

Answer
Is this the willow ware that has a brown trim around the edges?

It might be worth something primarily if you have the complete set. However sets like these fromt he 50's and 60's aren't worth too terribly much due to the quality and the mass production.

You really need to do a bit of research. Are there markings on the bottoms of the plates? Do all of the markings match? Did they come with boxes? Any markings on the boxes?

If its what I think it is, your looking at about $30 per plate and less than that for the other items. Thats what they sell for in Japan at antique shows.

What type of music is played in fancy restaurants?

dinnerware sets for less image

Can you guys comment on the type of music played in some fancy restaurants you have been to, and the atmosphere of it? (How does it look, how do the people dress and act). I am writing a report and this information would be valuable. Thanks so much guys.

Specific Restaurant names would help.

Answer
Classical music or some sort of live instrumental music that will not immediately bring lyrics to mind and will in no way interfere with conversation. The idea is to provide a relaxing experience and allow patrons to concentrate on the food, atmosphere and their companions.

To be considered a "fancy" (elegant might be a better word) restaurant it generally must have:

Adequate and convenient parking or valet parking
A coatroom
Acceptance of all major credit cards
A pleasant bar where guests can wait to be seated
A maitre' de
A hostess (or host) who will seat you. That includes pulling the chair out and often, placing the napkin on your lap
An attentive bus person who will quickly provide water and will remove unnecessary silverware from your table. For instance, the table was set for four, but there are only two of you.
Cloth table covers, usually a solid color
Good art - the quality you would see in a museum
Excellent decor - rich textures and colors
Extremely attentive servers and bus people - servers who know the menu well and can explain dishes as to content and preparation
an extensive list of high quality wines and a full bar with top line alcohol (Grey Goose vs Svodka, Dewars vs J.& B Scotch; more beer than Busch)
Silverware vs flatware
China or high quality dinnerware
Cloth napkins that match the tablecloths
Crystal glassware
NO PLASTIC ANYTHING
A menu that includes original recipes and highest quality cuts of meat, fish, fowl


As for the PATRONS they should:

Be dressed in nothing less than business casual. NO BALL CAPS, tennis shoes, shorts and generally no jeans.
No cell phone ringing / talking
Only extremely well behaved children, not usually less than three years old
No loud talk

Hope that helps.

Help with color scheme for living room/dining room combo room?

Crack

I need help with picking the colors for the rugs, curtians, pictures and pillows.....Sadly the walls must stay white, but I have white leather furniture, a mahogony wood with a cherry colored stain shrunk. In the 2 curio cabinets in the shrunk I have crystal and Lladro porcelian figurines. My dining room furniture consists of a china cabinet and hutch and a dining table that seats 6 the wood is mahogony with a cherry stain. In my china cabinet I have diffrent sets of crystal glasses along with china. The pattern on the china is pink and red roses set on what looks like an opal color the way an opal kinda shines and has that translucent effect. However, I do not want to decorate in pink and red, the roses do not stand out enough to have to pick these colors.
The style of the wood pieces can best be described as british coloniel with a slightly updated touch to it. I hope that makes scence. Thanks for your help.
I hope I dont have to buy new as I just spent 8,000 on this new stuff.....

Answer
How about adding curtains/ area rugs in a golden wheat tone, the white of the furniture will play nicely off it, and you could add a few inexpensive accessories with your china to tie it all together. Amber hue'd wine glasses, sixties art glass in a golden tone. Fresh white or stargazer lilies in a vase will immediately make the rooms feel more modern, elegant & pulled together. Mixing less formal stoneware with your china, will help to make the china pattern a lovely accent. Also painting a large inexpensive canvas with an accent color is a great solution for adding color without painting a wall.

What is a respectable amount of money to give for a wedding gift to the child of a friend - nobody is rich.?

dinnerware sets for less image

ajd333333

The couple is 35 and gainfully employed. It's a nice reception at a country club. Please don't answer "It's the thought that counts." Does it relate to the cost to the family throwing the wedding?

Answer
The thought actually does count a great deal: and giving cash fails to show much thought about what would please the couple, or about how they might benefit from your taste and insight. It also suggests the thought that the couple is in need of charity, and could therefore be offensive if they are people of refinement. So, please take the time to choose an appropriate gift that reflects your regard for your friend.

Appropriate gifts of fine crystal, silver or dinnerware, to match the pattern chosen by or inherited by the bride, are traditional gifts; as are good-quality household linens (towels, sheets and tablecloths). A comfortably-off person who is modestly intimate with the couple would normally give a place setting, or two goblets, or a single piece of silver -- a value of 100 to 200 dollars. Someone who is less financially secure or less intimate might give a single dinner-plate or sherry-glass: around 50 dollars. A casual friend or unemployed person might give a bread-and-butter plate: around $20. A close family friend who is well-to-do might give a serving bowl or tureen, a half-dozen glasses, or 400-count egyptian-cotton bedsheets (upwards of $300).

I hope that helps.

Did us "loony lefties" savage Laura Bush in the same degree that the conservatives are goin after Michelle?

Joe

I know there were some kooks out there who would say stuff about Laura Bush. There's no doubt that you could dig up a link or two from back in the day.
But calling Michelle fat, a gorilla, a sasquatch? Booing her at public appearances?
That shiz is uncalled for. Why not just leave family out of it?

Answer
Let's just take a SAMPLING of what showed up on Y!A ALONE regarding Mrs. Bush.... from 2 years ago...

Imus on his tv show called Laura Bush a Moron
Why did Laura Bush not take responsibility when she ran a stop sign and killed a guy?
Has Laura Bush been carefully putting together a positive spin on her husband's legacy?
She is a stepford wife.
vomit
How long will Laura Bush's $485K china set last in the White House?
How Many People Know that Laura Bush Killed her first boyfriend?
Rumors that The President and Laura Bush have split?
Does anyone remember when Laura Bush was arrested in France for shoplifting?
Fake
Why does Laura Bush still smoke a pack a day in private. Best kept secret in Washington. Did you know she smokes.
How many bullet proof vests could Laura Bush have bought for the $485,000 she spent on china/dinnerware?
Is Laura Bush planning to instruct the servants to leave all White House toilet seats up,
Laura Bush reprimanded the Burmese Media's lack of Cyclone Alertness. Why so quiet about Katrina alerts here?
Laura Bush IS A MURDER SHE KILLED HER BOYFRIEND!
How much will plastic surgery cost to remove the phony smile from Laura Bush's face?
care to join her in her crusade in being a decent human being?
stupid ho
because she is a christian..... and god told her and george that its ok to kill people..

.... as I said, that is just a SAMPLING of the comments posted on Y!A alone from you "loony lefties." I didn't even scan through the other 1100+ questions (much less their answers!) that I searched on.

As for Michelle, such comments and booing is unfortunate, but when you make comments like she has, she has to expect such reactions. Did Laura Bush ever say she was not proud to be American?


âPOLITICAL CORRECTNESS is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the CLEAN END.â --- Former US Senator from Wyoming, Alan K. Simpson

What are good items to collect?

dinnerware sets for less image

Eric

What are good items that I can collect that will be able to make me money in the future? Like things I can collect that after saving them for 20-30 years will be worth like double or I mean like just more than what I put in for the collection? Any ideas?

Answer
There are tons and tons of things that you can collect. Collecting lp or viynl records of certian artists such as the temptations, elvis,the beatles, and many other artists. Also collecting coins can be a big profit if you buy the right coins. Coins such as Silver dollars,gold coins, even wheat pennies (look on google) if they are hard to come by. Even beanie babies such as the first set of beanie babies sold to the public such as the unicorn horse, the mellinium bear, and many more. Also old cameras from the late 1800's all the way up to the 1970's. The parts or the whole camera could be put up for sale. Also try going to antique stores in your area and take a look around. Write down some things that have a big price tag and research if anyone is selling those items for less. Going to flea markets can also give you a good idea of what to collect and sell. Forgot to mention that also china ware such as teacups, plates, teapots, and and anything else you can collect can also sell for a hefty price but it depends upon the condition of the dinnerware and who made it. Hopes this helps. Happy Collecting!
