VISIONS From France and Asia-Pacific Available to USA Buyers

Stacks Image 213
While Corelle Brands makes several “classic” lines of VISIONS available in the USA, there are a number of other product lines typically only available in Europe and the Asia-Pacific regions. For collectors in the USA, this can be frustrating. As luck would have it, by way of the Amazon Global Store, American residents can now purchase select overseas models of VISIONS cookware.

Stock seems to go quickly but is often replenished. However, if you’ve desired any of the models below, I recommend purchasing them while they are currently available. These items have been removed from the Global Store for some time and were just added back again recently.
I’ve linked to them below.

If you have trouble using any of these links then please let me know.

What Is VISIONS?

Visions is a brand of innovative glass-ceramic cookware originally created by Corning France. Released in Europe during the late 1970s and early 1980's, it was officially introduced in the United States during the latter-half of 1983 and became the number one selling cookware set for a number of years.

Notable for its transparency, it is commonly seen in an amber or cranberry tint. Some model lines feature painted decoration, sculptured bodies, and SilverStone non-stick coating. A white variant was sold in some regions as "White Visions".

Visions is made of a material belonging to the Pyroceram family of vitroceramics (glass-ceramics). It features thermal characteristics similar to Corning Ware, plus improved resistance to staining and the detrimental effects of acids and detergents.

It will withstand heat up to 850°C (1,560+ °F) and is safe for use on a gas or electric stovetop range as well as in the oven, under the broiler, and with a microwave.

Additionally, due to it's ability to survive sudden temperature changes of up to 450C, it can used for food storage in refrigerator or freezer and be taken directly to stove and then table or sink without worry of shattering. It's also great for combination cooking. One piece of Visions can do the work that would typically require numerous pieces of more conventional kitchenware.

Finally, it is a very healthy choice due to it's non-porous nature, Visions will never stain, harbor odors, or leach anything into your meals.

Visions has been available non-stop for 40 years and is currently sold worldwide by Instant Brands.
