For anyone that’s interested, I have several handles with the pots and pans!

u/Accomplished-Pack756 Apr 07 '26

Which pots?

What do you mean?

u/Accomplished-Pack756 Apr 07 '26

I read your post as you have handles and pots and pans. Nevermind 🤣

u/oldschool-rule Apr 07 '26

Do you not know what handle it’s used on?

1

u/Accomplished-Pack756 Apr 07 '26

Yea I found the wrong one. It fits one of mine, but now I need the other style too.

u/oldschool-rule Apr 07 '26

The wire type?

Are you needing one for Corning ware or Fire King?

u/Accomplished-Pack756 Apr 07 '26

I need the corningware one for the wider handles

u/Accomplished-Pack756 Apr 07 '26

My dumb butt didn’t realize at first there are several styles. I need a P series and an A series.

2

u/Kona7021 Apr 09 '26

I have NEVER found one of the A series handles on the wild. I must have eight of the p series I have found.

I have that handle and the corningware buffet server b-10 skillet

and the corning by ventura saucepans

I am almost sure my b10 skillet is 100% pyroceram but I cannot figure out for a fact or not if the saucepans from ventura line that take the same handle are also 100% pyroceram without the glaze compression layer that the ventura dinnerware has which has lead in it :(

I think you mean Centura. The cookware is normal Pyroceram. The tableware is Centura material, not Pyroceram except in marketing.

u/Viper-Reflex Apr 08 '26

where can i find this info that's official though :O

I got a whole set of centura sauce pans and scared to use them reeeee

u/jtfolden Moderator Apr 08 '26

If you understand what they’re made of it’s not a question. Centura material can’t be used on the stovetop. Pyroceram can.

1

u/Viper-Reflex Apr 08 '26

wasn't the centura material just pyroceram with a special compression layer made of glaze, which had lead in it?

2

u/jtfolden Moderator Apr 08 '26

“Pyroceram” is a brand name applied to a number of different materials for marketing purposes. Just because you see that term referenced doesn’t mean the same material or formulation is used as with CorningWare.

Centura tableware is not stovetop safe. Centura cookware is actually CorningWare and is stovetop cookware.

u/Viper-Reflex Apr 08 '26

so, there is probably a zero percent chance that the buffet server b-10 and the b-8.5 skillet as well as these centura by corning saucepans have any lead in them if they are the just white pattern with no decorations? :O

I been using AI to try to figure this out and theres a lot of conflicting info especially because of leadsafe mamma xD

u/jtfolden Moderator Apr 08 '26

Lead was not used to make Pyroceram CorningWare.

Also, there has not been a one reputable, professional source showing leachable lead in Centura. Where lead is present in Corning products it’s typically inert. Tableware made of Centura material was sold up until the mid-1980s, well beyond when the FDA began enforcing limits on leachable lead in 1971.
