CORELLE-Care and Cleaning
CORELLE is impact resistant glass made by Corning
Glass Works, and is stronger than most glass or china
products. A drop or hard blow may cause the product to
break or become damaged, causing later breakage without
apparent reason. Most pieces are microwave safe. Because
it is impact-resistant, it may break into many small
pieces. Misuse can cause breakage.
Do not use on top of stove, under a broiler or under
a browning unit in a microwave oven.
Do not use sugar bowl cover in any oven.
Do not add liquid to a hot dish, place hot dish on a
wet or cool surface or handle with a wet cloth.
Do not use chipped or cracked ware.
Do not caramelize sugar in a microwave oven; this
can cause chipping or breakage.
Cleaning
Corelle is dishwasher safe. Wash sugar bowl cover
on top rack only.
To remove metal or hard water marks, use baking soda
on a damp cloth. To remove temporary discoloration, use
three tablespoons vinegar to one cup hot water. Let
stand. Wash as usual.
Do not use metal scouring pads or harsh cleansers.
