Corning Ware might be worth considering. I use mine quite
a bit for both stovetop and oven recipes. They're breakable,
but can take the cold-to-hot and vice versa very well.
And they look nice on the table as serving dishes, so you
don't have to dirty up another serving bowl/plate.

Otherwise I'd recommend Revere Ware stainless steel. They
aren't as pretty as Corning Ware, but are lighter weight,
stackable, and unbreakable (but dent-able).
