Default The chicken killed my casserole!

I made that Man Pleasing Chicken but apparently it did not please anyone in
this house. Smelled awful as it cooked and doesn't look very appealing. It
did not get the dark spots on the chicken like it showed in the picture but
the top of the casserole did turn black. So black that I couldn't scrub it
off easily. So out it went.

I should note that this was my mom's ancient Blue Cornflower Corningware.
It was slightly decrepit when she gave it to me but I made it worse.
Somehow I made gray marks on the inside in scooping the food out of it, and
if there is a way to get those out, I never found it. And then I "baked"
potatoes in it, in the microwave. That left brown spots that I couldn't get
out. This was just the last straw.

So... I ordered this set. I only hope that it doesn't arrive broken.

Not sure what to do with the smaller pieces but I do need another open, long
casserole. I could have used one the other day. I wound up splitting the
food between two pie plates. I got rid of all of my larger pieces when
husband moved to NY. Those were Pyrex. I replaced the smaller pieces and
have since bought one large piece but needed more.

I also ordered a hand mixer with dough hooks. My hand mixer dates back to
the 70's and has had a lot of use so not sure how much life is left in it.

I do have a Bosch stand mixer but I find it to be a PITA to use and clean.
So I hope this will work for my bread dough.
