Corelle Livingware 9-Inch Deep Dish Pie Plate, Winter Frost White

I Agree, an absolutely great TV "dinner" plate.
I agree with the other person who reviewed these plates, as I also use these deep dish "pie plates" as dinner plates, especially when watching TV and eating something like spaghetti or stew that tends to easily slide off the edge of a normal dinner plate. Besides having that great deep dish shape, they are also light, amazingly durable, easy to handle and super easy to clean. On top of that, they certainly fit in your dishwasher better than typical bowls do. If you respect the old architectural adage that "form follows function", then you have to give these plates 5 stars from a functional standpoint. They are truly just a great little plate.

(As far as the person who rated these plates as "1 Star" because they were not deep enough ??? All she had to do was to look at the pictures as they are certainly not misrepresented in any way. To me they are the perfect size and shape.)

great dinner plate here, too
Guess I'm not unique using this pie plate for a dinner plate and soup bowl. One feature worth mentioning is that it's light weight. A Pyrex pie plate is too heavy.

As a pie plate, these dishes make a great dinner plate...
Corelle - thin and strong, and this is no exception. These dishes are halfway between a pie plate and a bowl, between a dinnerplate and a dinner bowl. Perfect for eating on the couch since they have a high lip that catches the food before it slides off. At our house, we use these for dinner plates, they are the first ones selected when they are on the shelf. Of course, they are dishwashable like any Corelle and they last for years.

And I have baked pies in them, my grandma made an onion pie that I bake every few years in memory of her and because it is a great dish that no one ever believes until they taste it, it is a simple recipe, microwave until steamy thin sliced quartered onions. Add to each pie 1/2 can chopped black olives and a handful of reconstituted raisins (reconstitute in the olive juice). Add the onions, raisins and juice to a big deep chef's skillet. Now cook this stuff in the open skillet over medium low heat, turning frequently, you want to stop when...
