This is a 9 piece set that comes with a skillet fry pan, stock pot, 2 saucepans, and a double boiler. This cookware came out in the 80s. I have never used glass pots and pans!

I picked myself up one of these from the outlet just because I thought they were so cool. I rarely use it. On another note, please please please do a review on the new GE profile smart stand mixer.
Are they heavy???? How long they last you?
🎉❤I bought these on eBay years ago. Amazon why are those sellers selling it for a Fortune?!
I just scored a set of these today at goodwill for $10!
hi as a mexican please heat up the flour tortilla on a skillet until it puffs up. it kills me when people use them cold and stiff like that
The tortillas weren't cold. I had them in the toaster oven and then kept them in a tortilla warmer. Thanks for watching!
I'd be careful with tapping metal utensils on the edge of these pots. That's how our Pyrex frying pan developed a vertical crack that was slowly growing and we had to stop using it. It's best to use wooden or silicone utensils. Just have that in mind. They look great, but I wouldn't recommend having them as your main cooking set. With time as you use them they will develop a cloudy layer on the inside (it's really hard to get it off even with the help of a dishwasher) and food will start to stick to the bottom. I had to discard a whole set of those. They are great to serve food in them at a party etc. but I wouldn't buy them again.
These aren't Pyrex but I use Visions every day and have for years. If you have trouble with mineral deposits, they can be removed with vinegar or just a brief scrub with baking soda.
@@JohnTFolden yup... I've been using Vision cookware for 30 years n never had a problem with it unless if you drop it, it will break to pieces. I am also using wooden n bamboo spatula.
They will not explode. It is the healthiest and best cooking pans you can get. You can turn on the highest heat at once and when it starts cooking, you can lower it to much less than you are used to (maybe half) cause the glass leads heat much better than any other pan I ever tried.
Couldn't agree more!
Yes yes I agree. I've acquired a good collection of this cookware from my local charity shops
@@frederick53 Exactly. And some idiot claimed it had exploded and harmed him and the company had to pa him 1 million dollars, I read somewhere. I think it almost made them close down. He should be punished for his evil act. This company should be supported and helped instead. These pans should be everywhere and Teflon should be banished and its inventors and owners put in jail.
@@Sigridovski Yes, within our modern-day crazy world, I feel that Vision glass is one of the safest cooking pans to use. Yet they're pushing this toxic Teflon all over the place. "This world is not what we think it is"
My mother passed away and I just found her set. So if I put this on a modern, flat stove and not a gas stove it will be fine you think?
Thanks for the video! My daughter just acquired her great grandmas set. She is soooo excited. This video was a fun demonstration to give her confidence to use them. She’s a great cook.
I picked up a piece or 2 thrifting and fell in love. When my mom passed last summer i got the pieces she had. I use them daily. They are definitely my go-to cookware. Cant wait till i find more!
I *think* this exact glass was used in drinking glasses marketed as "indestructible" and when new, they would literally bounce on concrete, but after lots of use and perhaps a chip at the rim, they would randomly shatter into tiny beads like sand. The glassware which vanishes one-by-one when putting them in a dishwasher, where the granules all get washed down the drain and seem to have evaporated, making you wonder if you really had that many glasses to start with.
My mom had these back in the late 70's. Not sure who made them but mom was Corningware fan back then. I was always terrified to make the rice she assigned me to do. I just knew they were going to break! 😆
And they didn't because they don't.
TY for the nostalgic memories of my childhood, I remember my mom getting a set of these back in the 80's and being fascinated how u could see the food cooking LOL, for some reason I don't remember them cooking as as well as u demonstrated them...🤣🤣
Saw these in Costco a couple of years ago so they're definitely still around. Corning also brought back the original White Corningware with the blue flower - had to get some for the nostalgia factor!
Yeah, but they are still not made like the original.
Amazing to see them again, thank you!
That looks delicious and the cookware brought back memories!
I came across this video shopping for glass cookware, and I must admit I love you.😁 I’m a divorced man who knows nothing about cooking, I’m now a subscriber.of yours. Good work keep it up.
I had that set back in the 80s, i loved it
My grandma had these so long as I remember. She used them every day. I was born in the early 80s and can’t ever think of a time my grandma didn’t use them. She Made hot cereal. Soups, dumplings, steamed veggies, and anything else you could ever think of. My grandma passed about 10 years ago and these pans were in pristine condition in her kitchen. I think my aunt uses them now. Nothing has cracked or split or exploded.
I grew up with a set and all I remember is that when food stuck to the pans it stuck HARD and was a pain to clean. Interesting to see you didn't have issues with sticking.
I remember the same thing. We had to soak it for HOURS because the food was stuck really hard.
What determines whether food sticks or not is probably the way you cook with the pans. Heat temperature, ingredients used, oil amount, etc
Hi Amy & Eric!!! I enjoyed watching you cook with this cookware. I'm sure I had some pieces of this back in the 80s...May be down my Basement even...The ChickenTacos looked super yummy. Great video my friends!!!...
I had a set of the Vision frying pans. One of them was actually nonstick and performed very well.
I’ve been using these for at least35 to 40 years. I have had some glass come off because of hitting the 2.5 L sauce pan with something. I did cause some glass to come off of the 1 L sauce pan when trying to do a caramel icing. It became hard & burned, I scraped with a knife and used steel wool to get it out but messed up the inside corners. I have one from my dad that is heavier than the set I originally have. I use mine at least twice a week for regular meals.
I've had a set since the '80's and have used it constantly since then. Fun cookware! The only thing is that it's not non-stick, I've found. Put in oil/butter and heat those babies up and cook!
I have the Cranberry Visions Set. They actually still make the Brown ones.
My mom had a set. It was fun watching her cook in it. Looks delish. Be well.
I remember back in the 70's when I babysat, taking a glass casserole from the refrigerator and baking whatever was inside. It cracked or exploded. Probably from the temperature change. It's been a long time ago, so lots of details has been forgotten.
Yes it will. I had one pan on the oven in Germany in the late 80's It send shards all over my small cellar apartment and just by some sheer miracle missed by baby daughter in the same are sitting in her high chair
Just found my grandmother PYREX set , and learning about em. Happy i found your video, I'm digging em, luv'n your vid and think I'm going to try keeping them vs putting up for sale. Thanx
I hit the subscribe button too bc your vib is awesome
So glad you did this video! I have some of these pieces somewhere. I always loved how they looked! Been using a convection burner for years so haven’t used them, but wanted to try using them in the oven. I want to get that butane cooktop you’ve been using, have always wanted one for years for indoor cooking but saw all the indoor use warnings. I’ve seen lots of CZcams cooks using them so glad to see you like it. Think I’ll be brave like you!!! (Pintos are my favorite too!)😁
I also want the indoor butane/propane/isobutane (whatever it is) burner but read they aren’t safe indoors. But everyone uses them indoors!?
I remember those back in the day. Thanks for sharing
These are so awesome. I have a set of the cranberry color. Its made of borosilicate glass - virtually indestructible. Don’t buy the China versions. You can cook anything in these and they will not explode. The exploding/cracking pieces happened after the formula was changed in 1998 when they started making the pieces with soda-lime glass. Soda-lime glass doesn’t like sudden temperature changes and doesn’t perform the way Corning and vintage PYREX does. If you come across PYREX glassware, its helpful to know that if the name is in all caps, it’s borosilicate and if it’s lower case pyrex then it’s the cheaper soda-lime. Depending on what you’re using them for, it may not be a big deal but I only ever buy vintage PYREX. i use my Corning Vision pots for everything and have never had an issue. Its true what they say - they just don’t make things like they use to.
I got a set from a friend. It was her mother's set. The handle say Vision made in USA in cranberry color. Is this the better quality version and safe to use on a gas stove top? Thanks
Amy, I have these and coffee mugs that match. I still use some of the pieces and never had anything explode!
Hi Amy, the best I can remember back then probably was the mid 70s. A guy was selling it at a swap meet or flea market whichever side of the country you’re on. I don’t recall the cookware, but I did buy a set of dishes and bowls and cups looks like the same smoke glass color, what sold me is that he took one of the dishes and skipped it across the parking lot like a frisbee it didn’t scrape it it didn’t chip it didn’t do anything I was sold. I still have some of it laying around. I’m sorry I didn’t buy more of it.
I remember the Visions cookware, but I never owned any. I see pieces in thrift stores now and then. I did have a Pyrex coffeepot, which I enjoyed using. I had an electric stove, so to prevent the heating element from coming in contact with the glass, I had to use a little wire grid.that sat on the element.
Always enjoy your videos. You and Eric are a great team!
So are you saying you should not put it on the electronic burner, without that? I didn't know it was a rule for this cookware. So only flame?
@@t.c87 All I know is that the little wire grid came with the Pyrex coffeepot, and the instructions said to place it on the stove element and not set the coffeepot direction on the element. Maybe the direct contact with the hot metal would crack the glass, but again-- I don't know. Didn't want to take chances.
@Frances Jackson well with the pot, I can boil water not problem, using electric burner. So that's good
Happy new year to both you guys.
Hi Amy, Ai remember the Visions Cookware but never had a set. I had a few pieces of the White Corningware with the blue flowers, but by 1981 I invested in a good set of multi-ply stainless steel cookware. Vita Craft of Michigan was very expensive for the time, but I still have several pieces left and it has lasted 42 years. I think I did good on my $600 investment.
I usually slow cook meat dishes in my larger Pyrex casserole dishes on the gas top. Never had any issues. I just won't use the highest flame setting
I have my set from the 1980s and mid-1990s and they are holding up great. Cast iron pans and Visions cookware is all I use. One lid broke during cooking...no idea why. I've read the new cookware isn't good, but the 80s and 90s are great.
lids are made in china, the rest shouldnt be so you must take care with the lid
Visions is great for use in microwave, for thawing , cooking and reheating frozen foods. Always use medium settings.
I actually had a small pot explode 20 years ago while I was staying with a friend and thats the only pot she had.
I was just heating up a can of soup, nothing elaborate. Had it set to medium and Im glad I was about 5 feet away when it happened or I could have been injured.
With that said, I just acquired a set a neighbor gave me and am wondering if I will be able to cook in it without being scared out of my mind and/or safe.
What a pleasant surprise blast from the past! A friend of mine had a set back in the late 80’s / early 90’s…. Hated the colour of the glass…. Still can’t bring myself to like it….even with all this retro looking stuff coming out.
I didn’t know they were made in France….. or maybe I did, and just forgot….. but it kinda makes sense; Pyrex is Europe is made by / licensed to ARC International, is is still ,made with Borosilicate Glass per Corning’s original formulation, but the Pyrex being sold in N. America is made of Soda Lime Glass which is much less shock resistant. I think Visions was based on Corning’s lab grade glass for test tubes/beakers, etc…. Which is why it could be used on burners / heating elements.
Corning's Visions line of cookware is a glass-ceramic formulation, very much similar to it's long time White Corn-Flower Blue pyroceram casserole dishes, except it is just transparent, with the same temperature usage range, lack of thermal shock issues, etc. Many, many people confuse the Visions line of cookware with Pyrex - as if there can never be other forms of glass formulas. Just because Visions is "glass cookware" - just as there are differences between cars - BMW's, racing cars, pickup trucks, and RV's - they are all motor vehicles - and not the same. I hope this helps.
can you do a video on how to use the propane cooker?
I have used my pyrex blue cookware for 30 years, I didn’t know when they were made? The handles attach or detach I love them, I had a set of the ones your showing, but I did not like them as much as the pyrex.
I absolutely adore my Pyrex flameware
Do you have any tips when it comes to boiling potatoes or cooking pasta? I'm having problems with them sticking to the pot after I drain the water. I think it's because the pots hold the heat so well and they don't cool down quickly like stainless steel does.
Can you cook Vision on a ceramic cook top? Vision cannot be used on an induction cook top and I don't use gas to cook.
Love you Amy love ur videos🤗
I was wondering when you added water what was going to happen, I added some water to Pyrex dish I had in oven, shut the door and casserole dish blew up.
I have one but it has a dark base.. not sure wat it's made of .. teflon??
Love my Visions 💜
Donde las compro? Están buenísimas y lindas🌺
I had a Visions frying pan years ago & it cracked after a long time, never exploded.
What size was the one you used in this video?
Hi, I have had them for over 2 years. Don't be afraid to hit them. They can go from the freezer straight to the stove or oven, and back.
I recommend reading more about them online.
I liked your video, thank you.
Oh, I had a set of those!
Visions is still made in France today... It is not made in China, though there is a specific line made in Japan. There was another factory in the USA from 1984-2002.
Should still be Made In USA 🇺🇸
@@charlesscarpelli7939 it was created in France originally. It didn’t start out as a USA-made product.
@@charlesscarpelli7939 Good thing they’re not made in the USA or they would be defective just like your Boeing 737 MAX planes 🤣
Visions was also made in Brazil. It’s still very popular. I’m a reseller here in the US. I’ve sold a lot of it to a fellow reseller in Brazil. The pieces I sell were made in France.
@@nicolehuffman2995 yes, there was a factory there for an extremely brief period of time. They shut it down not long after it opened, unfortunately.
Love these! Upgrade your use with Ultratemp utensil that withstand heat to 400 degrees
Can u fry egg in the pan or it will stick?
I have a set that I have had since the 80's I used it on my gas stove and the only one I had to break was because it ran dry and on the burner to long while I was in the bathroom and forgot about it
did it explode or just crack?
I've got a set of 3 pots that say made in the USA. I love them so much I have them in cranberry colour
I still have two casseroles from my set in the early 90s. I never use them. I use them as candy dishes, hah! I had the cranberry ones, and I used them for a while but they had nonstick in them and it ruined. I'm not a fan. I only use stainless steel pots now.
Just got a set of 3 pots with handles at a yard sale for $10 and I want a full set!
Happy New Year guys 🍾🍾🎊🎉🥳
Happy New Year!
I had this set in the 80's.
I want the cranberry set.
As an Arizona resident, that's not my ideal taco night, but it looks like the cookware worked well
I found a little Pyrex pot in my late grandma’s basement, it’s from the 70s and made in France, don’t think it was ever used because it looks brand new. Considering myself lucky 🍀
probably everything your grandma has looks brand new, thats how our elderly treated stuff.
my grandparents got furniture 50 years old, still looking like new, barely a scratch despite moving a lot in that time. ok the style is old , so old , it could actually become trendy someday again.
Amy, where did you get that big thing of Better Than Boullion? Does Sam’s Club carry it? My local Walmart has been out of the chicken base for weeks!
Costco
That food looks soo good. 😮💨
Thanks!
I got a cranberry set in 1975. I got rid of it after 25 years because I changed my kitchen colors. I loved mine. Wish I’d have kept them.
Flour tortillas make it a burrito. Corn tortillas make it a taco!
My mother owned a set and she never had a problem cooking with visions Corning ware
This cookware came with a metal trivet that you were to sit on the stove then sit the pot on top of that to prevent it from cracking.
No, Visions doesn't need a diffuser because it's not glass. Those were only for Pyrex Flameware.
Cork tiles are brilliant for putting hot glass cookware on.
Amazing
My mother-in-law had a set, maybe she still does and used them regularly. I even bought a couple pieces for her after I married her eldest son. We married in 1997.
I have several of the older pieces.
Grandma Sue in central Indiana
I had a set in the 80's and 90's. A lot of things that I cooked would stick to the bottom, so I quit using them. I think they were made of pyrex.
Visions is made by Corning not Pyrex
That food looks yumy❤
Thanks, Dina!
My favorite beverage is Ribena while cooking.
I used to cook with them I loved
It was a lot of fun trying these out. I remember them from years ago. I always thought they were pretty awesome looking!
I have a few pieces of that (sauce pans) and don’t like it. It will burn things quickly. I suspect mine was made in France as I’ve had for years but will have to look.
Visions was around in the 70s the glass then was more durable then the new vision...anyway its much healthier than cooking with metal. Please do a video on the propane gas burner. I see it on amazon but how do you use the propane?
Visions was not officially released in the USA until 1983. It's not made out of glass, it's made of transparent Pyroceram. Old or new, it's the same basic material.
i just got one, mine was made in france. not china like she said.
still hope its not going boom...
Where did you find the set?
On Facebook Marketplace
I think using the generous amount of olive oil helped with it not sticking.
My grandma had these glass pots
They still sell the skillets new in Japan
Just scored a 4.5L one of these for $6 at the thrift store.
Awesome! Congratulations on the find, Little Wolf!
My mom had a purple set of visions cookware.
How much is this set if I order from Thailand? Can you send it?
I don't think this set is made anymore
I had a small sauce pan craze and crack on me in the 90's.☹️
I'm not 100% sure but I think it's pyrex which Corningware developed. I had a 3 piece set of this stuff in the 80s and I HATED it. Everything stuck to it.
❤
I certainly wouldn’t rap metal utensils on the rim of the pot 😬
Should've added some color to that rice. A little paprika would've done the trick if you didn't want to use tomato sauce.
I have a set I don't use it anymore food tends to stick very badly.
Don't bang the metal spoon on the glass pot. LOL Yes, cook the tortillas before you eat them.
Men you gotta love'em
I have set and it didn't explode on me and I never use Pyrex or anything like that again!
i did explode or it did not?
@@meggi8048 I am so sorry I spoke into it and I thought it said what I wanted it to say but it came out wrong. It did explode and after it exploded I never use Pyrex again. I was scared of it exploding again.
It should have read did explode and I never used it again.
ah i see. ok but pyrex is completely different than visions material. did a visions explode or a pyrex? how did it explode? did it shatter and glass was flying through your room or did it just crack?@@lindaconover7245
ok so pyrex is same company , but there are those transparent glass storage which are what i understood was pyrex and the retro brown translucient cookware@@lindaconover7245
I inherit my mom's Pyrex vision I have cooked spaghetti had no problem
are the handles hot to touch?
No. I have several pieces of Visions & the handles don't get hot. Love cooking with these.
I can't imagine anyone 50 or above NOT remembering these, along with Pyrex and Tupperware.
Hi
I always thought it was weird that people were afraid of this exploding because I grew up with these heated over direct flame. My parents' pot is over 20 years old with no issue, unlike stainless steel pots that sometimes warped or became discolored. Also, probably the least reactive and safest material to cook with.
