We have a set of the New Visions pots and pans. We don't use them that often. Now I will admit I do think things taste better cooked in glass. But a lot of people think that the individual pieces are too heavy to use on a regular basis. I bought my sister a set quite some time ago and she used it a few times and then put the set in a garage sale as she thought they were "unwieldy" to use in the kitchen.
When I'm not using the turquoise club cookware...
I use the same set of Visions cookware I got in 1986! They need a little more attention on the surface range units, but you can almost always get away with using a lower heat with them than with metal pans. I agree with whirlcool - things cooked in glass do taste better and definitely keep better. I find things like applesauce or tomato sauce pick up a 'tinny' in some pots.

We bought a set forever ago when they were new on the market but they were too unwieldly and made their way to the back recesses of the cupboards until we moved last year and I took them to a thrift shop
Have they not ever heard of CLEAR glass?
I am tempted to snatch up a piece or two but the avaialable colors are GAWD-awful to me.
The ones with a non-stick coatingd REALLY make me laugh; glass is not a good heat-conducting material, nor are these plastic-type coatings. Together they must be dreadful.

Have a couple Visions pots / saucepans, don't use them much. Bought a new set of cookware a month ago, had unpacked only the 10" skillet, until the large saucepan came out to play this afternoon.
~I remember now because my ex Mother-in-law got em for me.
HA!! EX-MOTHER IN-LAW INDEED!
According to the US tax code, you only divorce your spouse. His/her family is STILL YOURS FOREVER. If otherwise properly eligible as a dependant, you can still claim 'em!
Now ain't that grand?

I got mine when they first came out in 1986 or so. I love the amber color. About 3 months ago, I broke the 2.5 cup lidless sauce pan (had a pouring spout). That was given to me by a former neighbor when I visited him in Rochester. He gone to the Corning store in Corning so much, he had an extra one of those little pots. Still sad I broke the little pot because it had sentimental value. I liked it so much I went and bought most of the pieces available at the time. Didn't get the 7" little skillet. And I agree, the nonstick interiors werre a joke, glad mine dind't come with that. Have covered 2 cup, 1L, 1.5L, 2.5 L, and 3.5L sauce pans; 10" covered skillet; 10" covered chicken fryer and 4.5 qt. covered roaster. Occassionally use them per stovetop but mostly use all the pans in the microwave when I do serious nuking. The roaster mainly in the regular oven. Still ike them, even though they are heavy, and becoming moreso as I get older. But I'm very careful with them.
