Receta M C'ing Double - MC Series Corningware Pieces
Guess what?
There is even more confusing stuff out there than the N series Rangetoppesr and the S Series Saucepans. Yeppers, sure nuff.
I was all fine and dandy with the MC series that I knew of. The "heat up frozen foods in the microwave/store stuff in the refrigerator" pieces that I have are pretty neat and all. (Evidently they are called "Fast Food" dishes)
They came in 2 sizes... The MC-1 (7 x 5 1/2) which is perfect for a box of frozen vegetables (Do frozen vegetables still come in boxes? I usually buy bags o' frozen veggies)
and the MC-2 (10 1/2 x 6 3/4) I am not sure what this one was designed for, but it's great for storing celery or carrots in the refrigerator.
I have the white ones, obviously, but they were available in Wildflower and Spice o' Life as well.
The feet on the bottom fit into the divots on the lids, so they stack in the refrigerator without slipping, which is a definite plus as far as I am concerned.
I thought that was all there was... Nice rectangular Refrigerator/Microwave/Convection oven dishes with interesting lids. (The feet make them non-stove top friendly)
That was before I found THIS......
A French White 2.5 liter "Grill Pan" that is double marked.... not only with an embossed F-4-B, but with a painted MC-4-B number as well?!?!?!
What gives?
So I started hunting around eBay and Replacements limited, not to mention etsy, for other MC pieces. As expected, the refrigerator dishes, pictured above, showed up, as well as the French White Grill pan, but I discovered that I have another piece of this strange MC stuff.
Maybe the fact that mine is unmarked with the MC is a mistake. Hmmmmmmm......
OK, so I have now shared most of the weird, strange and/or odd stuff that I find as well as the more prosaic everyday stuff (mostly Cornflower, French White and Wheat). How bout you? What are all y'all finding out there?
