Does anyone remember Visions cookware?
Great idea...pans that were see through. I bought some when they came out. Too bad they were crap.

I should just throw those things out.

1. Don't they make them any more?
I have a few casseroles I use sometimes.

3. I don't think so.
I bought one of the skillets. Scrambling eggs in them was a disaster.

6. yes they are crap. I have one, purchased as an experiment
good only for things that have a lot of liquid in them, like Lipton chicken soup or ramen. Not bad for hard boiling eggs, either.

stuff sticks to them

think mine is going to the church yard sale

14. nice link, maybe the other poster looking for cranberry
will find the pieces she wants. Mine is boring old brown, and I still will donate it to the church garage sale.
But now I knowhow much to value it for tax deduction purposes.

10. I bourght a "duth oven" size at a yard sale 3 years ago because
the removable liner on my big crockpot broke. This fits perfectly.
On the whole though, I am still using by Revere Ware from my lst wedding over 25 years ago! Good stuff.

12. Please don't throw them out
I will buy any and all Visions cookware pieces if they are Cranberry. I love them. Yes, things stick, but it beats cooking with Teflon and ingesting carcinogens or killing your birds with the fumes from Teflon.

PM me, I will buy them if they're Cranberry.

13. I still think the worst stuff was corningware which was very popular when
I married the lst time. You would need a blowtorch to clean it. I HATED it and gave all the pieces I had away.

Also, about 15 years ago they came out with a range that had a flat corning top. My sister (the fool - tried to warn her) bought this sucker and hated every minute of it. You COULD NOT CLEAN THIS TOP.

15. I still have a few Corning pieces, which I use mostly in the
microwave for frozen veggies, oatmeal (which comes right off in the dishwasher) Mine look quite nice to be as old as they are, actually.

18. remove from hot oven, run cold water on, shatters well
easiest way I found to clean them is destroy them.

19. They're good for microwaving stuff
I used to have a set, and I thought it was ok. My ex-husband got custody of it in the divorce.
