I just bought a bunch on eBay. The old fashioned Pyroceram Corning
Ware rocks. It cleans up so much easier than stainless, you can use
metal in it, and it does well in the dishwasher. I got:

Item number: 200345072687
Item number: 330332516920
Item number: 310143899025
Item number: 330332618031
Item number: 350205625857

All for decent prices.
