When you think back to dinnertimes past, you’ll probably remember a certain floral-printed casserole dish making a regular appearance at the dinner table. 

It was the hottest piece of bakeware to own in the 70s and 80s and pretty much every mum across the country had her own collection. 

Is this ringing any bells?

Yep, I’m talking about CorningWare.

The nostalgic brand has been a household name for over 60 years and in some of the best news today, it’s now available at Woolies!

The retro bakeware you can find at Woolworths

You don’t need to raid mum’s cupboards to get your hands on this classic bakeware. 

You can now build your own collection while doing your weekly grocery shop thanks to CorningWare launching its Oval Baker range exclusively at Woolworths.

While the retro florals don’t make an appearance with these dishes, they’re still as sturdy as back in the day. 

Crafted from high-quality stoneware and coated with a food-safe, ultra-tough ceramic finish, this bakeware is designed to stand the test of time – just like mum’s collection.

What’s included in the bakeware range?

The CorningWare Oval Baker range includes two oval-shaped baking dishes in a small and medium size. 

They’re perfect for one-dish recipes and are designed to take straight from the oven to the dinner table.

The small oval baker (980mL) is ideal for easy baking and entertaining. It’s great for desserts, sides and smaller portions.

The medium oval baker (1.8L) is generously sized, making it perfect for serving mains, desserts, and other crowd-pleasing dishes. It’s also dishwasher, microwave and oven safe.

What to serve in this nostalgic bakeware

CorningWare was THE bakeware to have back in the day, and you have to ask, was a casserole really a casserole if it wasn’t served up in that classic ‘Spice of Life’ dish?

If you’re feeling extra nostalgic and want to pay homage to your childhood dinners, baking up a creamy tuna mornay in a new CorningWare Oval Baker dish is sure to get you reminiscing.

For a modern twist, you can’t look past a sweet recipe like our Nutella bread and butter pudding or a winning dinner like our Hoisin chicken and pumpkin tray bake. Plate these up for a Sunday family get-together and you’ll be sure to impress.

More newness from Woolworths

To complete your kitchenware collection, two other household names have also released new products at Woolies – Pyrex and Corelle.

Pyrex has introduced its Bake N Save containers which we’re loving for easy meal prep. They’re made from high quality borosilicate glass, and are both oven and freezer safe, meaning you can  bake, store, freeze and reheat, all in the same dish. 

With all this baking talk, you’ll also want something stylish to serve your meals up on. In more newness from Woolies, Corelle has launched its Winter Frost White dinner plates. 

Made from three-layer tempered glass they’re lightweight while also being highly resistant to chips and cracks. Plus, they have a stackable design which saves space.

So, if you’re building out your ‘forever’ kitchenware collection and want something to rival mum’s, then you can’t look past the retro classics.

Where to buy retro kitchenware

The CorningWare Oval Bakers, Pyrex Bake N Save range and Corelle Winter Frost White range are available at Woolworths stores and online across Australia.
