I found something else neat I inherited from my grandmother while packing. Corningware... I guess they can be called pots and pans... they all have glass lids and are made out of some sort of ceramic, but on the bottom they say they can be used in both the microwave and on the range. I've never seen that combination before, usually it's microwave and oven. I've also never seen ceramic stuff for the range before. I kinda like that... might have to try them out sometime. I don't believe I've ever used them before. They're kinda small, though. The largest pot is one and a half pints, the smaller pot is one pint, and the pan is six and a half inches. Might be useful for some things, though. Little worried about how hot the handles might get, since they're all one piece, but I use pot holders anyway usually.

... there's no kind of health concerns related to ceramic cookware like with the teflon and aluminum stuff, are there?

Oooh, and I just found some sort of glass, Corning deep-dish thingy with glass lid that I THOUGHT was a cake-holder but whose bottom says it can be used in the microwave, in the oven, on a rangetop, and in a freezer! That doesn't sound like just a cake-tray to me! Even if I'm pretty sure that's all my grandmother ever used it for....
