Question from Cheryl

Hi all, does anyone know if scratched Corningware (meaning whatever is underneath is showing through in fairly fine gray scratches) and scorched(browned) is safe to use? Also, I guess the composition has changed through the years and I received mine about 16 years ago. Would Corningware from this time period in general be safe? Thanks as always.

Debra’s Answer

I don’t think there is anything “underneath” Corningware. I have white Corningware of about the same age as yours and it has some “fine gray scratches” but they look to me to be scratches that have filled in over time rather than exposing something underneath. Corningware is a single material through and through, not a coated material that can scratch.
