I love both and buy both! When family comes to town, I pull out the Ikea plates. They're so in expensive I have at least 10 of each bowl and plates, so everybody gets a plate. I use Corelle for cereal because I like the deep sides for cereal. Both are beautiful and have a place in my life. They match nicely together due to their similar appearance. You can't go wrong with either one. Thanks for showing the comparison. I wondered how alike they were and now I know!

Hi. Thank you for not lieing.

I was stunned when I first saw Corelle because it is practically unheard of in Europe. I rented a house in the US and it came with this and I couldn't get over how neatly and thinly it stacked. Perfect for storage in boats, caravans etc. Or just tight apartments. So I bought a full set for myself in Europe. I've had a few breakages but so far most of them have survived fine for close to 7 years. But if someone is doing a similar product for a fraction of the cost and you don't care about replacing breakages exactly then I'd say just buy the cheaper stuff. Buy 2x as much if you're worried and stash the spares somewhere.

Since I have some individual pieces of Corelle purchased as emergency hotel dishes (helping my sister move during the pandemic shutdown, needed microwave-friendly dishes) I don't want to buy a complete set.

They are both slippery - the rough back on the ikea doesn't help much with water and soap - BUT the lip on the Corelle definitely helps to keep a hold of the slippery dish better.

You’re missing the point of Corelle. The idea is to have a plate, bowl, cup etc. that is most like china plates without the cost and fragility. The fact that the Corelle is larger and heavier making it feel “real” is the big plus. If I want to buy a cheap plate that doesn’t break when dropped, well I guess I’d buy paper or plastic. Or better yet I’d go back to Melmac. I appreciate what you are trying to do with this “test” but it is far from scientific. All I know is that I have had Corelle for 30 plus years and I have never broken so much as a saucer. By the way, I buy Made in USA every chance I get.

How neatly do each brand stack? I can't quite see in the video but it looks like the ikea ones aren't all exactly the same shape so you couldn't stack a very large stack neatly? (I'm looking at these from a catering context so having the ability to stack lots and lots of them very neatly is important)

@kaypotter9097

2 жыл бұрын

I've had a set of the IKEA OFTAST dishes for about a year. I have 8 each of the dinner plates, side plates, regular bowls, and pasta bowls. None of them have broken, despite me clumsily dropping/flinging many of them in the sink while hand washing them. (I used to have a dishwasher, and these dishes came out great in the dishwasher. Then I moved, and I no longer have a dishwasher. But they still wash up great by hand.) You are correct that they do *not* stack 100% evenly. Visually, they still look pretty neat IMO (and I'm very particular). In terms of stability, because all of the pieces nest together pretty closely, there's not much room for them to wobble a lot or for the stacks to become very unstable. So despite the slight unevenness, my stacks of 8 are all stable. However, I can definitely see how larger stacks may become unstable. In order of their stability, I think the stacks of dinner plates are most stable, followed by the pasta bowls, followed by the side plates (starting to wobble more), and then followed by the regular bowls (starting to tilt more) as the least stable. Also, over time, a few of my dishes have gotten some imperfections on the shiny finish (on the front of the plate). They look like matte smudges. They're sorta hard to see, but when you do see them in the right light, they kinda look dirty. There's definitely no residue or anything lingering on the dishes, and I haven't found a way to "clean off" the smudges. I don't mind this for everyday use at home, but it might matter for more formal catering settings.

There are so many issues with your testing methods, it's hard to know where to start. Corelle is thicker because it has a bead. Scratch resistance should be gauged with a elcometer or similar device - not chain male and calipers of unknown hardness. By using the chain male and calipers on one, then the other, you favor the second plate by dulling them on the first. By leaving the label on one plate, but not the other, you have effected the shock test. I assume there's more, but I couldn't get through the shock test.

What I gathered from my online research is that it happens when too little stabilizer or too much of an alkali is added to the glass mixture. This causes it to expel moisture when stored in places with high humidity. Where I live, the average humidity is 82% so any glassware that doesn’t have the correct mix will ‘sweat’ (Crizzling occurs when the humidity is above 55%. ) Haven’t had any problems with CORELLE so far but IKEA dinnerware ‘sweats’ when not in regular use.

I buy white Corelle because I know it don't contain lead, as Pillivuyt and Apilco also don't. That is very important to me, to not be lead poisoned. Then I wash it with a natural dish brush, with real bristles. This don't scratch my glass and plastic, but keeps it like new and shiny. I also use only natural detergent and I save on it, use as little as I can.

I think one IKEA bowl has a chip that I sanded smooth with a dremel - other than that we’ve had about equal performance between the two

The way that Ikea (5:15) and Corelle (5:21) dropped was different. The same reason why the latter broke.

After the plate leaves your hand you can only control for so much. But thats also going to be the case in real life - you'll never drop the plate the same way twice.

IMO.... Corelle is less heavier than Ikea one plus Corelle is good for me to carry more than 6 plates at once... BTW. Have you ever heard about Arcopal from France and tried Arcopal plates before???? I have Arcopal plates from my grandparents whom bought dinner sets way back in 1970s.... well, Arcopal has varieties of Beautiful patterns in dining sets but I broke one tea cups from arcopal months ago while washing my plates after meal... Arcopal didnt shatter into many pieces only like half pieces unlike Corelle nor never scratches at all... if someone asks me which one Do I prefer Corelle and Ikea??? My answer is CORELLE... PS. I would highly recommend Arcopal from France If youve never heard about it b4.

@@GanderFlight yeah. You should. But I forgot to tell you that Arcopal is bit heavier than Corelle when I hold them..... same break resistant durability but does NOT mean its non breakable.....

I have both brands Acropal and Corelle. Acropal 72 pcs of France Elise and 10 pcs 31.5cm Acropal white plates . As for Corelle I hv 4 sets Boutique Cherish Embossed Square . For Corelle Vive Enchaments I hv 4 sets too. Bought others vive enchantment plate such as 1L, 2L bowls , Fish plates etc . I like Corelle so much cause of the light weight and easy cleaning . I am using Corelle more than 10 years so far all still in good condition. No regret to use Corelle Worth for the value which we invested . My siblings all use Corelle too. After using Corelle u will never turn back to use others ceramic plates which is heavy and chipping at the edge .

Corell

Si lo tiras que caiga de filo se rompe , a mi me han durado años , solo mi perro me ha roto platos y muy pocos , esos platos son duraderos, si no quieres que se rompan compralos marca Lodge de hierro fundido es lo único casi eterno .😅😅

The IKEA dishes are manufactured in both France and China, depending on which dish. I noticed this when shopping at IKEA.

Thanks for that update!

The only Corelle I've seen break was when a Corelle bowl fell out of a cabinet and landed on a Corelle plate that was on the counter top. The plate exploded and my mom was about ready to kill me.

Yikes! BeT it was a mess- so only the plate broke, not the falling bowl?

@@GanderFlight yep, only the plate broke.

My mom had a set of Corning dishes that was a predecessor to Corelle-- it was called "Crown." It was thicker, more of a milk-glass look, and it had many of the same benefits-- survived drops on the floor &c. The teacups in the set (also Crown) met an earlier fate- the kitchen cabinet was over the sink, and if the cup dropped so the rim of the cup hit the rim of the sink, the cup was history. Regarding the current test of plates, I strongly suspect that the destruction on concrete was for a similar reason-- sharp impact on a point of the rim caused the destruction. Same for the gravel-- if the rim of the plate strikes a stone just right, >poof!

Agreed - the pinpointing of impact is detrimental.

My pressing question is who is having dinner with dinner plates over gravel??
