Vision cookware was originally manufactured by Corning, which has since went through Chapter 11 Bankruptcy and emerged as a privately held company called World Kitchen - LLC. World Kitchen currently has business units that manufacture such well-known and well-respected brand names as Corning Ware, Pyrex and Baker's Secret. Although the cookware is still for sale, a good number of published reports state that the cookware is not being manufactured anymore in its original design.
Product Information
Cookware Sets
The Vision cookware was revolutionary in that it was totally see-through, yet could be extremely serviceable. By being see through, a cook can check on cooking progress of the food without lifting lid and changing the temperature of the food that is being cooked. This cookware is so functional that it can be used on the stove top, in the oven or microwave, or placed in the refrigerator or freezer without requiring additional storage containers. It is recommended to bring the cookware and stored food to room temperature before moving from one extreme temperature to the other,for example, unthaw completely when moving from freezer to microwave.
Because Vision is made of a glass-ceramic mixture instead of a metal alloy, it was designed to withstand a high range of temperatures, both hot and cold. The glass-ceramic mixture is absolutely non-permeable, so the cooking surface will not react with acidic foods or absorb food smells.
There are no limitations on the type of utensil that could be used with this type of product; metals will not scratch the surface. In addition, it is considered among the easiest cookware to clean after food has burnt inside it.
Cleaning:
Cleaning a piece of Vision cookware is easy. It is 100% dishwasher safe, but can also be hand-washed. Abrasive cleaners are not recommended, but nylon pads and a baking soda/water paste can be used for tough stuck-on foods.
The abrasive cleaners, such as scouring powder or pads, have been reported by some consumers to scratch the surface.
Consumer Information
In the early to mid-90's, the Consumer Product Safety Commission received a number of complaints that Vision products will unexpectedly explode or shatter into sharp pieces when dropped or when left untended on a very hot stove. Although the reports of these incidences are not in abundance, the threat of danger is still very real.
For this reason, consumers are advised to cease using this cookware as soon as any scratches, chips or cracks are visible.
On the other hand, Vision cookware is still in high demand. The groups that continue to demand the special glass-ceramic cookware include antique collectors, cookware collectors and those loyal customers who have used the cookware for years without incident. The glass-ceramic nature of the cookware is considered extremely bio-friendly and many individuals still prefer that type of cookware over any others.
Where to purchase:
Some pieces with the Vision cookware name can still be purchased online but if you want used cookware, it is best to look for used cookware on sites such as e-bay and Amazon as well as auctions, flea markets and garage sales.
