These are the bowls I bought for my family last year. I got both the large and small size and I love them – for everything. These are the things I love about them: super practical, high sides, less spilling, good for storing stuff in the fridge, break resistant and yes – LEAD FREE (most important feature!)
The plain white Corelle dishes are NOT ceramic. They are white glass. They are not glazed and do not have any kind of surface finish other than the glass. They are a consistent white glass material throughout.
These are my TOP PICK for Lead-free dishes in my home (in anyone’s home.) Frankly I would buy a dozen more of each piece from this set today if I had the extra money – both to have back ups for when we have company and to fill in the gaps in the kitchen when pieces eventually break (which they do with four boys in the house!)
Here are Amazon affiliate* links to the exact dishes I have in my home and use every day (including this bowl):
- Decorative Serving Bowl – 1 Quart
- Large Bowl – 28 oz
- Small Bowl – 12 oz
Folks have asked me to do a more comprehensive post about the materials in the glass so here that is for all of you. Some people seem to have a hard time believing how non-toxic these actually are (compared to other options!)
Below are the exact test results for two areas of one of these bowls: the inside food surface and the outside area including the logo (which is grayish black in color.) Each set of readings is from a full minute test.
