I’m still convinced most boomers are still contaminated. They still own a lot of stuff filled with lead or were too stubborn to give it up. I’m purposefully breaking my parent’s corningwear when I visit because they are too fucking stubborn to stop using it.
You can almost tell the difference between someone with high lifetime lead exposure and someone without. It’s sad and frustrating.
I’m extremely skeptical corningware contains lead which can come off… it’s sealed, ultra hard ceramic. that’s not how people have historically gotten lead contamination. there’s probably more lead in the soil in their front yard than in every piece of corningware in the house…
please don’t destroy these, just donate them to a thrift shop so sensible folks can use them as intended. many of those vintage ceramics are collectibles, more importantly they are infinity reusable.

Honestly it’s a toss up comparing old stuff to modern glazes. It’s all contaminated.
Corning Ware doesn’t contain lead.
