That's right, the new Corelle shatters and is dangerous, at least that was what I found once they started making it in China. The old is fine.

Old Corelle shattered, too! We had it growing up in the 70s and 80s. My mother was once struggling to open a pickle jar while standing at her place at the kitchen table. Jar slipped, fell on her plate, and shards everywhere.

I have Corelle from maybe 2005 and it was made in the US.

And new Corelle is NOT made in China. It's just not. Now the company that currently owns it is the one that makes Instapot and is being destroyed by venture capital, so no bets on the future, but if you want some American made Correlle, it is still here for now.

I have bought Corelle, even recently (replacing pieces when they break and they do not break easily), it says made in the U.S. on it, so I can confirm this.

I am a huge fan of plain white Correlle. It's so easy to clean (actually all Correlle is), I do dishes by hand, as I don't have a dishwasher here. Things that actually cost a lot of money? Lol my stainless steel cookware was kind of pricey. It it to spark joy? Ocassionally, but mostly it's to make dinner.

Sometimes the old corelle would split in half while sitting in the cupboard. I always figured it was a piece that had been dropped previously and eventually just split.

I spent an evening at a wedding once talking to a chemical engineer about Corelle shattering--we both thought it was absolutely fascinating, and a fun topic of conversation.

I’d forgotten how nice it is to get up and out early on a Saturday to get errands done! Both dive buddies cancelled last minute last night as they had to work. Car needed an oil change and my favorite place is by an old office 20 min away, that I can only get to on Sat. Was there at 8 when they opened, then did quick grocery shopping, and a car wash. I was home by 930. Did some cleaning and decluttering at home. Gave away a bunch of canned goods and some salad forms I never used on local Buy Nothing group. Did laundry and ran dishwasher. I’m now settled in for a long hot bath and some reading.

I don’t know why people are so focused on their dinnerware not shattering. I suppose if you have a house full of kids, it might be a concern.

Dropping dinner plates it’s just not some thing that happens regularly in my life.

That sounds like a lovely, relaxing Saturday night Tradd.

I will powered myself to drop off a box of clutter to Goodwill. I took care of a couple other errands while I was out and about, so today I feel like I am a bit ahead of the game, and that feels good.

IL, They are more likely to be dropped by kids and then it’s hard to find every sliver so a toddler doesn’t eat it or someone doesn’t step on it and gets it in their foot. The shattering brings back memories of those days.

I agree... plus if its inability to shatter means it's going to last until the next eon, I'll take a shattered dish and reorder a used one on eBay.
