Corning Ware Percolator Recall Information for Resellers

[@cubswin101]

Thanks Sarah, for not only taking the time on all of the research, but for the link provided a ton of information and education in 7 minutes! Well Done!

[@sallywright2217]

I collect coffee pots, I have a Corning Were Blue corn flower stove top that I have used off and on for years. Thank you for telling us and I never knew about the recall until I watched this video. I still want to keep the coffee pot though. I will "retire" it. It sure make good coffee though.

[@user-hk8gp7ui6s]

Thank you so much for the blog post. I’m excited to find out my pot was NOT recalled. I can finally use it without fear. It has the etched numbers on the band.

[@ApplesauceNinja]

I have one of the recalled models and still use it. Just made a pot of coffee yesterday, but I will be careful with it moving forward.

[@justinprater3024]

First generation models released in 1960 had screws that held the spout/handle assembly on in addition to the epoxy and were not part of the recall which applied to models manufactured between 1961 and 1976.

[@jfburtonfan]

That is helpful, thank you. I’ve never used one before and picked up THREE cornflower yesterday (two different yard sales LOL)

[@piewhackit2me]

Good to know mine has the screws in the handle.Had conflicting arguments that it was involved in the recall.Still plan on using it and I always consider it a two hand job when pouring coffee one hand with oven mitt supporting the bottom

[@anitamarshall7528]

I wondered why mine was only $20 and it looked brand new. I did some research on it and found that it indeed does have the number on it and is a recall. I’m still using it today. I have one of those little handmade bowl cozies on the bottom, I keep it there all the time when it’s finished parking I left the cozy up and hold the bottom of the percolator while I am pouring it into my cup. I wash it and dry it immediately. Thank you for your video.

[@HappyWifeAndHappyLife]

Thank you for posting this video I moved to Tennessee in 2015 , I bought the electric 10 cup model from a nice woman that claimed it didn’t work for her but I just replaced the plug and it worked for me . I use mine here and there and haven’t had any issues. Maybe I have a pot that doesn’t have a problem. It makes the best coffee and I boil water in it for tea infusion . I Thank God I haven’t had an issue with mine .

[@lisaspikes4291]

Thanks! I have two of these. One large and one small. I’m going to check them now. I don’t use them often, only occasionally.

[@gailmorin1748]

Thank you we are just getting ready to go camping and pulled out my old Corning ware coffee pot so now I will check to see if it has been recalled..

[@kimberlypatton9634]

When we got married in 1979 ,we got one of these as a wedding gift.We used it for at least 10 years before it disappeared in the two moves we made .I really don't remember what happened to it.I think we just bought a cheap drip coffeemaker and I stuck it under the counter in the back somewhere.I didn't really like to use it all that much because it stained easily and to keep it nice took a bit of elbow grease and comet cleanser....which I didn't want more to have to do with a young child and baby.I just found a clear vintage Pyrex stove percolator,I had one once too and I broke the stem ..it broke my heart.My husband and I had a wonderful garden that year and we bought our favorite coffee whole beans and ground them for our Pyrex coffee Then we would sit outside by the garden on Saturdays and enjoy the beautiful morning and tomatoes,yellow crookneck and zucchinis growing! Seeing this Cornflower blue one just sparked a whole set of memories that I hadn't thought about in years!

[@carlwilkins417]

Thanks Sara I am not a colllecor.However, I have amassed 5 or 6 pots be over the years. I'll check them.

[@kathyp8898]

Of course I just received 3 of the recalled ones! Thankfully I found this out before I listed them. Thanks for the info!

[@yordestyoung1133]

Thank you so much. I was about to make a purchase to use on a gas stove top, and the sellor advised that I should not use it on a gas stovetop. My research on that topic led me to yours and I am no happy I found it. I can now ask the questions I need to ask. Thanks for the link to the blogpost

[@sarahjalloud]

So glad this helped

[@TheCameragal67]

Thanks for droppin some knowledge on us Sarah...it's always good to see your fabulous face! 😘

[@joanneortiz6715]

I'm so confused about buying a cornflower stovetop perculater. I bought one from a vintage store for under twenty dollars, and loved the way it perked coffee. Then I heard this video and returned it as it had no serial number on it. So now I don't know what would be safe to use. But I would like to buy one not recalled.

[@rmbrugge]

Thank you for sharing this with us

[@bunkyman8097]

When I was young my mom had one of the recall pots. Thank goodness we never had any problems. It sure was a cool coffee pot though.

[@lesliesiple9270]

My 10 cup blue cornflower electric percolator does not have a number on the pot? The only number I can find on anything is the heating element insert which has the number P-80?

[@curlyelledawson4244]

So part of the recall

[@michelecloutier6309]

Great info. Thank you. And thanks for breaking out in song - 76 Trombones. You gave me a laugh when I needed one.

[@sarahjalloud]

I am glad you are someone that can appreciate a good musical interlude..LOL

[@annpicard7026]

So nice to have someone like making this video thanks you 😘😘

[@AnnePeaceWithGod]

My stovetop CORNING WARE 9 cup has no numbers on it period. I read the recall was just on the electromatic ones.

[@susantaylor8507]

So the pot I have has the same numbers and the same pot I hope it's not a recall

[@piewhackit2me]

Still use mine that has the screws in the handle but I always support bottom with oven mitt.I being as it’s heavy even without water in it I still consider it a two hand operation when handled.

[@christieastorga2133]

I just got my hands on one and idk if I should keep it.

[@takeomack2782]

I just bought one of these. It’s the blue one. I heard of you put room temp water in them, they don’t explode!

[@sharonlatour6230]

I also watched a video where a lady put hot water in hers before heating. She said it doesn't go though such a big temperature change then.

[@dmsarabia1]

Thank you! Great info

[@deejay963]

Recently knocked mine off the counter & it broke. The only good part was the ( collar ) band, still attached solid as a rock. Never worried about it. I'll take any stovetop one your too afraid to use. If it's getting loose you should be able to tell, just check it before each use. Plus there are was to secure it anyway.

[@bobbyspapercraft]

Noooo! I never knew this and I use my grandmothers percolator almost every single day. It’s the 6 cup plug-in with no special numbers on it. I guess I had to toss it

[@justinstarnes81]

This sucks. I just scored a E-1210-4 and I can’t sell on eBay because of the recall. No matter how I try to list it, it goes against their policy.

[@ramonortiz5796]

Hello, I have a 10 cup Percolator an E-12 10-8 which has just fallen apart and does not have any markings on the chrome sleeve, so would mine fall into the recall listing? Love my coffee so hope someone can help me..!!

[@_-ShadowWorks-_]

The 76 trombones moment made my day! Thanks for the great video

[@kimgriffin8478]

Where could I purchase a power cord for mine. Mine was lost during a move.

[@sarahjalloud]

Kim Griffin eBay has quite a few of them listed for sale. Will set you back about $20 with free shipping.

[@JeepisJunk]

I would like to buy a corning perc.

[@Namuze]

Thank you for the video. I have a spice of life pot..are they on the same recall situation ? (Sorry im french)

[@sarahjalloud]

I think the pattern doesn’t matter. If it fits the other criteria, it’s a recalled pot. There is a link in the description that will take you the blog post where I got my information.

[@Namuze]

Thank you !

[@TheDudeVT]

Hey thanks for the info. What if you blue cornflower 6 cup Corning ware stove top Percolator doesn't have a model number on it?

[@sarahjalloud]

Josh, thanks for watching. In the description box below the video there is a link to a blog that has all the info you need.

[@AmandaMarie0120-j7u]

Mine doesn’t have a model number anywhere. How do I know which one I have?

[@highpeacetess]

Thank you so much! 💓

[@zacharyreidy788]

Hey there I have a 6 cup blue Heather pot and ebay keeps trying to remove it, it is not a recalled pot the metal band is smaller than the spout and can't detach any recommendations its a p-104 blue Heather 6 cup pot

[@sarahjalloud]

Unfortunately the robots that remove listings can’t distinguish between the recalled and not recalled. Be careful not to get a suspension.

[@pamseclecticplace709]

Thanks for the info.

[@777SEER]

Hello, are the cornflower tea pots safe for coil burners on stovetop?

[@sarahjalloud]

I think so but I have never actually used one. If it's not an electric pot I would think you have to put in on the stove whether it be gas or electric coil. Thanks for watching!

[@marym733]

Can you tell me if the p-149 has a silver cap that goes on top of basket? Or does it only use the lid?

[@sarahjalloud]

I believe the basket is supposed to have a lid with holes in it that fits down on the basket. You can try finding a replacement on ebay.

[@livelearnandshare2043]

@@sarahjalloud Hello Mam, would you please clear this out of head so I can use my more confident. I have P-149 10 cup but I read on recall list it stated that P-149 9 cups, so is mine ok to use. Please reply to me. thank you.

[@sleepingwithcats5121]

Thanks but is it safe to drink coffee made from these recalled pots? Does the glue seep into the coffee?

[@sarahjalloud]

I think it's perfectly safe to drink from the refurbished pots. Also, there is a link in the description that will send you to the vlog that shows whether your pot is recalled or not.

[@nicolahyman543]

I have two of these beautiful objects. One was my parents, the other my father in laws some 3000 miles away in the States! BUT please tell me how to use it. I tried freshly ground coffee as in a stove expresso jug but the coffee did not rise up through the centre tube so no percolating bubbles of delicious coffee. Please can anyone enlighten me!

[@bunkyman8097]

Nicola Hyman, My mom had one of these and I currently use a stovetop Pyrex percolator but they work the same. I fill the pot With water to just below the basket insert. I like to grind my own coffee. I have found a course grind is best. Grinding your own isn't necessary as long as you use a coarser grind. I have a 15 oz coffee cup and i use a coffee scoop of beans per that cup. I think its a tablespoon measure. This is all individual per your taste. Espresso is too fine. I wet the basket before putting the coffee grounds in it-that seems to help to keep the grounds out of the coffee. Put the insert into the pot and put the cover on. I set the burner to medium high to get the water hot. As soon as it starts to perk, turn the heat as low as you can while keeping the perking action going. It isnt necessary for it to perk like crazy. Every second or so is enough. It doesnt have to be going strong. If the water boils in the bottom of the pot you will scortch the coffee and it will be bitter and burned. This takes some practice but you will soon learn how with your particular stove. As soon as the water in the knob on the lid starts to turn color I start timing. 6-7 minutes is enough for me. Once again this is dependent on how strong you like your coffee. When finished, take it off the burner and let the perking stop. I remove the basket and pour a cup of the best coffee ever! I have a thermos that I pour the rest of the coffee in so it stays hot. I sure hoe this helps. Enjoy!!

[@bunkyman8097]

Nicola Hyman, P.S., If a lot of steam is coming out of the spout, its too hot. Turn the heat down.

[@MK-hz2bn]

I’m guessing the ceramic was porous and slipped easily

[@sleepingwithcats5121]

So, if there is Not a model number it means it is Not recalled, it is safe to drink from?

[@MK-hz2bn]

I have a Nordic winter one I just inherited

[@MK-hz2bn]

Just found out it’s been recalled 😫 it’s so pretty it will just be used for decoration now. I am going to use it one time tho. It’s pretty much brand new, I am guessing because of the recall.

[@sharoncrawford3042]

I have one of the perculators.

[@87Jaws]

Ok just bought one of these and I don't have the letters on the rim and I don't have the model number under the Corning Ware logo it says 10 cups under logo. That's all the markings on it. Wondering how else would I know if it's a recalled one beyond that?

[@sarahjalloud]

87Jaws look on the bottom of the heating element that is in the pot and see if there are numbers there.

[@87Jaws]

@@sarahjalloud it says p80 is that a recall one

[@sarahjalloud]

@@87Jaws Yes it is.

[@stitchwhich]

Ive been going through my elderly mother in laws kitchen she a stovetop 6cup corn flower pattern with no model number. And i cant see a stamp. Should i just use it as a vase 😆

[@sarahjalloud]

Heather Powers that’s probably a safe bet. 😆

[@laurenh8844]

If you look on Etsy, you can see how one person repurposed some as utensil crocks. They turned out really nice.

[@TheOGWhovianMaster]

Jeeze, I came here looking for instructions on how to use the one my mom left to me. Turns out it was recalled almost 50 years ago xD she used it regularly for my entire life with no issues. Maybe at some point it was fixed instead of returned?

[@sarahjalloud]

It could have been. This would work as any percolator does. Put water in, put coffee grounds in the basket, put the basket on the stem and position the stem in the receiver on the inside bottom. Place the lid on the pot. If it’s electric, plug it in. If it’s stove top, place it in the stove burner and heat until it boils. It will slurp and gurgle while it is percolating. You may hear the pot sigh when it’s done. Enjoy!

[@MrNickstevenson63]

Thank you for taking almost eight minutes to say what could have been said in two …. Uggg

I have one similar to this

4:21 model numbers

[@gurupartapkaur]

Mine looks similar to the blue one but it has no number on the metal rim and mine is a stovetop. I bought it used. Do you know if this one is included?

[@sarahjalloud]

C M these are the recalled models and every one of them has Stainless Steel rim. The P-119, P-129, P-139, W-119 (9 cup Stove Top - Cornflower, Trefoil, Wheat) and the P-116, P-126, P-136, W-116 (6 cup Stove Top - Cornflower, Black Starburst, Trefoil, Wheat) all of which look like this. This also includes several other patterns that did not receive special model numbers such as 1st edition Floral Bouquet from the 1969 Limited Edition gift line as well as the Avocado Medallion released to accompany the Avocado Round.

[@robhoug3724]

My pot is the blue cornflower with metal band I do not see a number on the band or a model on the back. All mine has is Corning Ware 9 cup
