- Is the Corelle City set really oven safe?
- Yes. Corelle's tempered glass is rated for oven use, though you should avoid broiler heat and sudden temperature changes. The mugs are safe in the microwave and dishwasher too.
- How does it compare with Corelle's white sets?
- Same light glass construction and chip resistance, but the City adds black plates and handled mugs. The white lines are easier to match and hide scratches better.
- Will the black plates scratch or fade?
- The color is in the glass, so it does not wash off, but dark surfaces show utensil marks and water spots more than white. A dishwasher rinse aid helps.
- How many people does 16 pieces serve?
- Four. You get four dinner plates, four dessert plates, four bowls and four mugs, with no serving platters.
- Can I put the pieces in the microwave?
- Yes, all pieces are microwave safe. The glass heats food evenly and stays cooler at the rim than ceramic.
- Does it chip easily?
- Corelle's laminated glass resists chipping better than most ceramic, but edges can still chip if struck hard. Replacement pieces are sold separately.
- Where is the Corelle Instant Brands 125915 City cheapest?
- At Target, for $44.99, as of our latest check.
