Absolutely! Corningware from the day it was sold in 1957, was made for the stovetop, the oven, the microwave, the dishwasher, refrigerator and the freezer. The material that Corningware was made from, called Pyroceram was a glass-ceramic material that could withstand quick changes between hot and cold without breakage or problems. Corning made millions of the white dishes in a variety of schemes over a thirty year period. Look on the bottom of your dishes, and you will see the markings for its usage. The dishes with handles are the best ones for stovetop usage, and earlier editions had a removable handle for stovetop use. Dishes such as souffle dishes, pie plates, etc. while they can be used on the stovetop are not practical since they lack handles. Corning also in the 1980's made a line of Visions cookware in amber and cranberry colors, that was also a glass-ceramic material for stovetop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer usage.
About the year 2000, Corning the company sold its housewares Consumer division, and thus no longer make the "Vintage Corningware" or Visions cookware. A new company, World Kitchens now markets the brand Corningware, but they use a material called stoneware to make the dishes. These dishes are not made for stovetop usage, they are to be used in the oven, the microwave, the dishwasher, and refrigerator, and maybe the freezer - but not for quick changes in the temperature. Again, these items made from stoneware CAN NOT be used on the stove top.There are markings on the product and box that make this very clear. World Kitchens, which now markets all the kitchenware products that used to be made by Corning does not make any products for the stovetop.
There are several places online to obtain Vintage Corningware and Visions cookware.
Parlez vous Pyroflam? When World Kitchen observed the 50th anniversary of the CorningWare name in 2008, they added a StoveTop collection to their online store, including a set of casseroles in the traditional Blue Cornflower pattern. The StoveTop line is called Pyroceram in the USA but it's made in France by ARC International. It's sold in the rest of the world as Pyroflam and was originally called Arcoflam.

Why won't the burner of an electric range give you a shock?
The burner of an electric range is just a giant resistor. Like all resistors, they have a special coating on the outside to help protect the resistor from the outside environment. This coating is normally made of a type of ceramic, and is a poor electric conductor. Because of this, electricity will have a hard time making a complete circuit (which is necessary for one to get shocked) between the burner and your body.While you will not get electrocuted when you touch the burner, you will still get burned. As such, refrain from touching the burner, as it may result in a very painful experience. And be careful when around an electric stove; even though the burner may not be glowing red, there is still a possibility that the burner is hot. Skin damage does not require very high temperatures, and a burner can easily cause serious burns when you are not careful.

Your electric range burner spikes to 16 amps. Then drops back to 8 amps?
The spike in amperage to 16 amps indicates a momentary increase in power consumption by the electric range burner, possibly due to a high demand for heat. The drop back to 8 amps suggests that the burner has stabilized its power consumption once the desired temperature has been reached. This variation in amperage is normal during the heating cycle of an electric burner.
