Review on 🍽️ Corelle Stoneware Dinnerware Reactive Service: Elevate Your Dining Experience by Drew Poulin

These Corelle porcelain stoneware dinner plates are definitely more eye-catching than any other dinner plates I own. Nordic Blue Pattern is darker and heavily mottled in the center, lighter on the outside and darker again with mottles and stripes on the inner edge. I tried to get a few shots but the icing on these plates reflects the light well and I'm a very bad photographer but I think you can get the hang of it. The rim is raised more than any other plate I've used. Two golden stripes run along the outer edge. They are a real eye-catcher and look exceptionally beautiful on the dining table. The first thing I noticed upon taking them out of the box was that they seemed heavier than my other dinner plates, although when I weighed them I was surprised that these ceramic plates actually weighed a few ounces less. The raised rim of these plates gives this impression, because when you hold them by the rim, the weight of the dinner plate is better distributed around the rim. I've owned stoneware (yes, I'm old) for over 30 years, but never ceramic plates. At least until the 1940s, when it was exclusively made by Corning Glass (they are made in China by Corelle), porcelain stoneware was always advertised as being able to go from the oven to the dining table to the refrigerator. I'm not exactly sure what that means when you're talking about ceramic plates as there's no stated temperature limit, but it should certainly be safe to use in the oven to reheat food or even cook food if you really choose it for whatever reason. These dinner plates are also dishwasher safe. I've never been clumsy when it comes to my dishes - plates I already own are at least 20 years old - but these Corelle plates are so much nicer I'm a little afraid of breaking them. When small children are setting your table, the heavier weight distribution around the edges can make them more uncomfortable than flat dinner plates. But something else that Corning Glass touted about 1940's pottery was its affordability and the price of $38.99 for a set of 4 dinner plates, which cannot compete with the price of expensive china. However, since you can also buy dinner plates at the dollar store, some people might find the price of $38.99 high. It's definitely way better than anything you'll find for the dollar, but if you live in a household that regularly breaks plates then it might not be the best choice unless you want a nicer set of plates for yours Guests . or for special occasions. I love these porcelain stoneware dinner plates - they are incredibly beautiful and hopefully have the same quality and durability that porcelain stoneware has been associated with for decades.
