Are these break resistant as other Corelle?

I'm not sure. They are like other Corelle I've seen. They do get warm in the microwave. But are nice and light weight.

As far as I know they. They were a gift to my daughter. One of her reasons for wanting them was the break resistant. She loves the look of them.

I have not had any problems with the plates and bowls chipping or breaking, however I have yet to knock them hard against the faucet or drop them on the floor. They go though a daily routine of moving in and out of the cupboard against other corelle dishes and I do not notice any harm. I am sure I will eventually knock them about, but for now, the plates are as strong as they are lovely, only time will tell. If they are as resilient as my older corelle sets, I will have no worries. Remember that the mugs are not corelle and will break. I hope this helps you.

I've only had them a short time, but they've been great so far. I've got an older set of Corelle and they have the same feel and weight.

Yes, they break very easy. they have a score mark that helps break them. They don't always break exactly in half, but close.

I have owned corelle for years but never investigated the composition. I do know that they wear like iron, even when dropped. Occasionally they break but in 30 years I've only had one that landed just right and broke. The set I had for 30 years did start to delaminate around the edge but just a few. I am 5' 9" and the one that broke was dropped from about 5 feet and landed on a angle. It did not shatter as most dinnerware. I have owned ironstone in the past and just the slightest bump will chip a plate and they are heavy. I love corelle because they are thin and light, but strong as iron. Hope this helps.

They are heavier than Corelle but not much heavier. They're just about right (for us).

Corelleware is glass. It may chip but it is break & chip resistant.They are terrific plates 7 great for kids..Lightweight too. If you have not seen them visit any target or wal-mart and see them on display.

They are microwavable and dishwasher safe and pretty sturdy even when dropped on a tile floor. I don't have nordic ware so I can't comment on that. The other thing I like about Corelle, is that they are thin and you can keep a nice stack of them in your cabinet without taking up much space.

The previous answer describing tests and glazes is correct - for Corelle's *STONEWARE*, though. These plates (and almost all of Corelle, excluding the mugs) are not stoneware. They're made of a special type of glass, which should not contain or leach any lead at all. This is why I chose these, because I believe them to be safe.

Not that I am aware of; never seen them in stores; you could contact the Corelle/Corning company to find out

No. It says "break and chip resistant CORELLE® VitrelleMade in USANo stovetop or broiler"They are light weight.

Mine just say Vitrelle break and chip resistant on the back. I did match two older plates (maybe 5 years) with the same fluted edge. They were the same. I use them mostly for cutting "boards" and did not care so much about a match, but they do seem to be the same as my old ones. My guess is you are OK.

Several organizations have tested these, it depends on how sensitive their testing method is. That said, the all corelle vitrelle tends to test lead free. High sensitivity testing, says otherwise. Google it and decide for yourself if these are right for you.

There are microwavable, dishwasher, and even oven proof up to 350 degrees. They are safe as glass but way more lighter! I LOVE Corelle and am always on the lookout for pieces I didn't know I needed until I see them.

I don't know if they are tempered but I have dropped them once or twice each and they did not break. Obviously they withstand high temperatures. Both are still serving me well.

They are at least as strong as the ones that come with the glasses. I haven't had any issues with these. I'm sure you could break them if you tried, but with regular usage they should last a long time.

Not that I know of. I didn't get another set, as I am afraid they will just break again. They are in my opinion rather dangerous.

From what I have understood from previous corelle I also purchased they were BPA free. I did not notice or check on this order as they were before.
