Corning Ware Profile: Fast Food Dishes (1978) 

Microwave ovens became popular in the 1970s, and Corning responded with new Corning Ware items optimally designed for this new cooking method.  Fast Food Dishes were introduced in 1978, and were intended to be the ideal size & shape for heating frozen pre-packaged food.  They were discontinued during the early 1980s.

Style-wise, they are similar to an A-series Corning Ware roaster, but smaller and with little feet.  Their clear Pyrex lids have an array of dimples on the top.  Fast Food Dishes came in two sizes: MC-1 (7 x 5½") & MC-2 (10½ x 6¾"), and three pattern choices: White, Wildflower, Spice O' Life.

Although they were made with microwave use in mind, Fast Food Dishes are not browning skillets, so they can be used in the oven too.  But with an oblong shape and feet on the bottom, they are unsuited to the stovetop.
