More Corningware!

Conestoga Chuck here. Humans please stop donating your Corningware to the thrift store because my human keeps buying it and now there is no room for my treats and toys! Stop it! Just stop it already!

Human here: don’t you dare! I love my Corningware! So very versatile! Tonight’s dinner is caprise chicken in a balsamic glaze (YUM!) with impossible pie for dessert! You can google the recipes (that’s what I did lol). Besides Conestoga Chuck’s homemade doggie food also gets stored in the fridge in corningware dishes so I don’t know what he is complaining about!

Anyway… Just braise the chicken on the stove top following the recipe and then in the same Corningware casserole dish pop it in the oven to finish cooking. Simple to cook and even easier to clean. One pan for everything! What’s not to love! Fresh herbs and tomatoes from the garden too!

We like to use corningware pie plates as dinner plates. Hubby is a messy eater and this makes it so that he doesn’t need either an adult bib or changing into his already stained “eatin shirt” lol. Seriously those raised rims on the side of the pie plates make for no messy eating! We love our pie plates even tho we never use them for actual pie making lol … so if you have some of those you intend on taking to the donation center please give me a call first! Those pie plates are a bit harder to find.

Now for the impossible pie! It’s actually amazing because you mix all the ingredients in a blender and toss it in your Corningware dish of choice and the oven and nature does the rest. Oh did I mention no need to “grease” the pan? Yeah they actually work better if you don’t grease them as long as you are using a butter or oil etc in the ingredient list for your recipe. And for heavens sake toss the can of spray stuff… that stuff will leave gummy gook all over the corningware that is almost impossible to get off without lots of soaking and scrubbing. If you need to grease the pan use some regular butter or oil etc.

No fancy “make a pie crust” or several mixing bowls needed with this recipe … one mixing bowl (your blender) and your Corningware dish is all it takes. If you use the small 6.5″ corningware skillets like I did then you can just eat your dessert right out of the same dish you baked it in! Or grab two forks and share one with your spouse for a romantic dessert for two. Maybe some vanilla ice cream on top? Yum!

I think Conestoga Chuck is just grumpy because it’s his dinner time so I best go put on my serving uniform and get his meal served before he starts complaining about my other antiques and collectibles lol … seriously you CANNOT go wrong with a vintage Corningware purchase! But remember only the vintage ones are ok to use on the stovetop as well as the oven and microwave.
