Cooking with glass

infrogmationI guess I was one of about 5 people who liked those all-glass rangetop cookwear they apparently don't make anymore. Maybe they stopped making that stuff for liability reasons (no doubt someone somewhere was shocked to learn that glass breaks). Or because, as I said, I seem to be one of about 5 people who actually liked the stuff.
A relative who recieved a set of them back in the era of wide lapels passed them on to young Froggy. For some 20 years I did half or more of my cooking in them. I liked cooking with glass -- clean, and hey, you can see through it.
The last of the big stove-top pots with matching lid broke the other day. I've known for a while I need to get a new set of range-ware. The closest I've seen to my old stuff in recent years are some with glass sides and Teflon bottom -- no. I don't care for teflon. I'd prefer to avoid aluminium for my daily cooking.
What do my fellow LJ'ers like and reccomend?

Cooking with glass
Date: 2005-01-19 07:14 pm (UTC)Vermont Country Store sells Vision Ware (http://www.vermontcountrystore.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=12037&itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&keyword=Visiions).
"Originally introduced in 1982, Visions cookware by Corning hasn't been available in the U.S. since 1998-until now. We're the only company in the States offering it, and in the original see- through amber color."
So it seems to be still made, just not retailed in the USA. I'm betting they were sued by some dufus indignant over discovering that glass can break. (If it hadn't been sold by many companies for hundereds of years, they'd probably ban glass drinking glasses here in the Land o' Freedom (TM) too.)
Hm. Looks like for the time being eBay is still a good deal cheaper, but nice to know.
BTW, I hadn't been aware the stuff was called "Visions" before this thread.
