It was first introduced in 1958 by Corning Glass Works (later Corning Inc.) in the United States. Pyroceram has properties similar to glass and ceramic, and CorningWare was advertised as being capable of being taken from the refrigerator or freezer and used directly on the stovetop, in an oven or microwave, under a broiler, and go into a dishwasher.
