Yay – I finally found the Corning plates I was looking for!
I’ve been looking for years for a few more Grab-It plates from CorningWare to add to my collection.
But they’re discontinued and impossible to find.
Well I finally found them…. on Amazon!
Grab-Its (P-150) debuted during 1977 and were included in the Microwave Set. They were also placed among Centura’s Corning Ware accessories, but in this context they were called a “Porringer” instead. Grab-Its were also offered in pairs and in Corning Ware boxed assortments. During their first year on the market they were sold uncovered, with no glass or plastic lids. ~Corelle Corner
Corningware Grab-It Plates
Why am I so crazy about these plates???
Because they’re just so darn HANDY!
They’re little square plates with a tab (or handle) and they’re just perfect for single-serve items and snacks — all those times when you don’t need a full-size dinner plate. They were originally sold as part of Corning’s Heat ‘n Eat line. Yep, I use them in the microwave all the time.
Plus, these plates are indestructible! They are made of the triple-thick glassware from Corningware; not their thin stuff. They’re so durable… almost indestructible. You can literally drop these Grab-It plates on the floor (learned this by accident) and they won’t even chip!
I highly recommend them, if you’re looking smaller snack-size plates for you and yours. These are the best snack plates around.
Corningware Grab-It Bowls
By the way, I also own a set of the matching Grab-It bowls from Corningware. Love these too — for all the same reasons.
The bowls came with optional glass lids (that pretty much just rest on top; they don’t lock on in any way) or soft plastic lids (which also don’t seal to the rim of the bowl at all).
I have both styles of lids. I don’t use the lids though.
TIP: If you happen to live near a Corning Outlet Store (I used to), you can find these Grab-It plates and bowls by the dozens in large bins… and they’re cheap!
I like to help people find unique ways to do things that will save time & money — so I write about “outside the box” Household Tips and Life Hacks that most wouldn’t think of.
I’m super-organized. And I LOVE to clean! I even enjoy doing laundry (but not ironing). I’m also a lifelong dog owner — so I often share my favorite tips for living with dogs inside your home (like smart home design choices and dog-friendly cleaning & decorating ideas).
Career-wise, I’ve been sharing my best ideas with others by blogging full-time since 1998 (the same year that Google started… and before the days of Facebook and YouTube). Prior to that, I worked in Higher Ed over 10 years before switching gears to pursue activities that I’m truly passionate about instead. For example, I’ve worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo — to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV.
When I’m not cleaning, organizing, decorating, or fixing something… you’ll find me at the corner of Good News & Fun Times as publisher of The Fun Times Guide (32 fun & helpful websites). To date, I’ve personally written over 200 articles about cleaning, organization, DIY repairs, and household hacks on this site! A few have over 2M shares; many others have over 100K shares.
