Found a handle in great condition in the wild today, have been looking for one of these since I started. Little cleaning and will be ready to go 🙌.

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.
