How heavy are these compared to corelle ?
1187924
We only have two pieces of Corelle, both salad bowls. These bowls are relatively lightweight. The Rachael Ray is porcelain and compared to the stoneware sets we have, much lighter weight and take up far less room in the dishwasher. Personally, I adore these dishes and have found them to be extremely durable. I use them at least 3 times daily and even for company (we have 2 sets) and they make a very pretty table. If you're looking for really HEAVY dinnerware, this isn't it. The pieces are quite sturdy, solid but not in the least heavy. I have arthritis in my hands (which is why I wanted something other than stoneware) and I can easily take them out of the cupboard. Hope this helps you.

Corelle plates from Walmart are much lighter. The main reason I got this set was because it looks pretty compared to the regular walmart ones, but mos of the rr cups and bowls have chipped away in 1 yr of usage.

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 not as heavy as our Fiestaware, nor are they as durable. They are lighter than most stoneware-tupe sets I have owned in the past. They are beautiful.

Hello! I purchased mine ages ago, and still going strong. They are quite thick but not heavy. Have come in great use at our house.

Corelle is known for being little weight. That is why I selected this product. I was having trouble handling other dinnerware because the of the weight. I recommend this product if you are looking for pretty dinnerware that is so easy to handle. All patterns are painted on the Corelle.

It is comparable to Corelle -- perhaps a bit thinner at the edges, but thicker in the middle. Much much more classy than Correlle. Wife was skeptical when I said I ordered new dishware to replace our Corelle, but she likes this set a lot.

100. I use these because they are sturdier than any others. My husband has dementia and I was going through a lot of Corelle plates. I tried the melamine ones but he succeeded in cracking them when they hit the floor. The Chinet are easiest to clean up off the floor and no worries he will get hurt

I would say more lightweight- I am surprised how much I like them. Not overly expensive but seem to be the right sizes for mixes and recipes. I have some stoneware bowls that weigh a ton- these are easy to manage.

They are heavy. I would compare them to stoneware vs. corelle. So far, we have had no trouble, whatsoever, with our dishes. There was some trouble with shipping, a plate or something broke, but they did not hesitate to replace our order. We do use the dishwasher on our set; we have had no chipping thus far. We are completely satisfied with our order of these dishes. Thanks for asking.Ben Graff

They are fairly light unless you have lid on. I haven't weighed them but they aren't cheap feeling

Probably not quite as thin as Corelle, but very thin. You can see shapes through it if you hold it to the light. It's much classier than Corelle.

More like hardened glass. Corelle really hasn't changed much since your mom used it in the 70's. Still more durable than just about anything else.

Hello!they are not to heavy in my opinion and i'm really weak lol. They are definitely good quality and they aren't too light to feel cheap but not too heavy that is hard to manipulate them while cooking or doing dishes. I hope it helps!

Hello Roxann....no they are not heavy at all. Very sturdy. There is a heaviness in this regards as a quality product.

I would say they are more light weight, but not too light. I have a set of heavier ones from Costco and these are lighter than those. For basic cooking they would be fine, but might be prone to denting if used harshly.

I would not consider them heavy. Cast Iron is much heavier but cheap alumium is lighter. To me, they are just right.
