IKEA toughened glass 'crockery'

I saw the Corelle for the first time at the weekend at Duncans of Wishaw. Had heard everyone raving about it for years but had never seen it anywhere. Was not what I expected!!! My husband is adamant we are sticking with our (ancient) Melamine but I might have a look at the Ikea crockery next time we are there.

Corelle is very expensive.  OFTAST is very cheap.  For anyone wanting to change from melamine (which we've never had because I hate the stuff) it's worth a punt at £9.00 for eighteen pieces!  Corelle would cost you many times that amount.

Several caravanning friends have been out and replaced their melamine. 

Another advantage is that it's very 'flat' and fits nicely together for storage.

Has anyone dropped one of these yet? If so what happened?

Dropped a bowl and small plate from microwave above the hob height in the caravan, nada, nothing. The porridge spilled though, got told off by the boss!!!

2 large plates fell out of the dishwasher onto the kitched floor at home,  nada, nothing.

I dropped a plate yesterday onto a tiled floor.  Both survived

Ikea does sell mugs thst are like Corelle.

I dropped some of The Range not-Corelle in the shop and no breakages.

Corelle can jog on.

I may go back and buy some of those mugs!  We are always breaking them.

Interestingly, for anyone currently in Spain, we called into a middle size supermarket in La Jonquera and they have similar tempered glass plates, bowls and mugs, for just 50 cents each - so a saving!

I really wished I'd have known about the IKEA plates and bowls before we bought the Corelle - could have saved some money!

I am with you there David but we can't get everything right and I have enjoyed my Corelle for over a year now! 

We are just starting out and were looking at Corelle, think a trip to Ikea is on the cards for us, thanks for the tip.
