Lovin’ Life 20/6/2019: Corelle Winter Frost White.


Confession time.

I don’t own a grown up, matching full set of tableware.  It’s been decades since I moved out of home, I’ve been living in what I hope will be my ‘forever’ home for several years and this is the state of my tableware cupboard.

At least it is all the same colour, but it is also a mash-up of various brands.  I’ve pretty much picked and chosen my favourite items across a few brands and left it at that.

The MVP in my tableware mashup would have to be Corelle’s Winter Frost White range.  It, like myself, was first released in the 70s and I like to think that we’re both still going strong 🙂 . I like that Corelle is virtually chip proof.  It washes well both by hand in in the dishwasher (any rack, top or bottom – wherever your game of Dishwasher Tetris directs you to place it) and stays as white as the day you brought it home.

I buy mine from Woolworths and IGA on an as needed basis.  Most items are under $10 each or you could go big and buy yourself a full dining set.  Which is how my interest in Corelle began, actually.  Mum had a set back home in Perth.  I still remember the cheerful pink floral motif on her set and how it survived decades of family dinners.

I recently posted about my love of Corelle on Instagram.  As usual, my Gram Family came through with the goods.  The DFO outlets have an even better range than what’s available at the supermarket and for very nice prices as well.

My favourite bowls from the range are this pasta bowl

and this noodle bowl.

Between them, they manage to plate up (or should that be bowl up) quite a few of our dinners each week.  The noodle bowl also does double duty in the morning because it’s the perfect size for heating up microwave oatmeal porridge for Master SSG and to reheat portions of baked oats for me.

Tell me I’m not alone with the mismatched tableware thing!

Are you a Corelle fan too?
