I've recently seen advertised lightweight, almost unbreakable ceramic crockery for caravans. Can be used in oven or microwave. Has anyone used or heard about this? xx
Hi there, I'm not sure about ceramic but lots of people seem to like Corelle crockery which is durable opaque lightweight glass. Argos sell it as well as lots of other online retailers.
I only use white crockery and do not care for patterns.
My current ones are Tesco's Value range, again, tempered glass, probably from the same factory that makes the ones above. However, they have since been discontinued. Good job I bought 4 sets at 7 GBP for 16 pieces/4 settings, and have only broken one of the mugs so far (it was dropped on ceramic floor in the kitchen at home), so plenty of spares for years to come.
Again, white glass only, not to everyone's tastes, however, at 7 GBP for a set of 16, I consider them a very good buy and good value for money, and practical too, as they are quite thin, and not as heavy as stoneware or porcelain.

Probably not everyone's cup of tea and not cheap but very durable and last forever. The plates are a really nice shape for things like stews/risottos etc. I even slide one under the BBQ with the cooked things on and use one as a warming plate on the top of my kitchen stove.
Hi, I brought a 16 piece set by Corelle (I believe it is made of 3x toughened glass). It is fantastic, we are able to heat the plates up in the oven (my husband does love a warm plate). Also, when I had a daft moment and knocked the plates over, they didn't break! Would really recommend this brand. Hope this helps
