A Little Misadventure With A Corelle Plate

Sorry, I have no experience with Corelle dishes, but I just made a search by curiosity and I see plenty of tests on YouTube. They show that they are unbreakable... are those tests real?

I think it depends on how it falls. I had one plate break on me almost right when I bought the set, but no more from that set ever broke.

I don't even know what a Corelle plate looks like, I've never heard of it. Sorry it broke.

Maybe it was the way it landed or the fact that the microwaving had something to do with it. What a shame.

oh, i have never heard of that plate but we have a durable plate here, named MARIWASA,.

Yes this happened to me and I thought that too but mine fell on a ceramic floor and it was probably too much for it. I think it would be fine on a regular floor- but mine shattered into many pieces that time too!

I have had several break when exposed to heat or extreme cold. I have dropped it on the floor or counter and that's all she wrote.

@marlina I remember using a Corelle plate in my son's home.Here many people use them.While breaking is not common,I have come across such incidents.One person was saying '' the plate does not break but shatters.''

I've had a plate from them break as well. And the shards are so very sharp, I hope that you were careful to vacuum them all up so that you don't step on one. When your plate broke, it was hot, right out of the microwave and it hit the counter (that's where it was dropped to) really hard and it shattered into a million pieces. But except for that mishap, I've had those dishes for almost 30 years, that's pretty good to only have 1 break.

Never heard of them.

Corelle is a new one on me... Pyrex, that I understand (heatproof glass).

I had some Corelle plates and bowls. I have never broken one. Maybe because the plate was hot??

I've never known on that broke. My mother had some Corelle. None of us kids liked it so sold it in a yard sale when we emptied the house. Maybe putting it in the microwave changed it? ( mom didn't have a microwave...)

I'm with you. I thought they didn't break.

Yes, Correlle always shatters. If you call them they will replace it.

I have had one break, but they tend to break less often.

perhaps the 'xtreme heat from bein' nuked caused such'n occurrence?

I had one break when I dropped it on a ceramic tile floor in my kitchen. I figured that it didn't stand a chance of surviving once it hit the floor. Now that I have hardwood in my kitchen breakage is rare

Well...the heat could.have made it weak and break when it slipped

A friend gave me a Corelle plate, we were told that it wont break. Ours did not break though for how many times it slipped in our hands every time we washed it. It must be the hotness of the plate that it breaks.
