Can I put Corningware on the stove top?
I have rarely ever used my Corningware so I don't know much about what I can use it for
I'm making a dish that says that I should brown my meat, onions, etc in the casserole dish and then transfer it to the oven.
Can I brown the meat in the white Corningware dish on the stove burner? And then transfer this same dish to the oven?

no...not meant for stove top. Brown your meat in a skillet then transfer to the Corningware

No. Corningware is great for in the oven. and you can use it in the microwave. I make some of my casseroles in my corningware and to cook frozen veggies in the oven. I rarely use mine though, because I tend to use my pyrex more.

Only to old ones made for that....the news ones cannot be used on the stove top

An appropriate answer really depends upon the age of the cookware at hand.
Corningware from the day it was sold in 1957, it was made for the stovetop, the oven, the microwave, the dishwasher, refrigerator and the freezer. The material that Corningware was made from, called Pyroceram was a glass-ceramic material that could withstand quick changes between hot and cold without breakage or problems. Corning made millions of the white dishes in a variety of schemes over a thirty year period. Look on the bottom of your dishes, and you will see the markings for its usage. The dishes with handles are the best ones for stovetop usage, and earlier editions had a removable handle for stovetop use. Dishes such as souffle dishes, pie plates, etc. while they can be used on the stovetop are not practical since they lack handles. Corning also in the 1980's made a line of Visions cookware in amber and cranberry colors, that was also a glass-ceramic material for stovetop, oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer usage.
About the year 2000, Corning the company sold its housewares Consumer division, and thus no longer make the "Vintage Corningware" or Visions cookware. A new company, World Kitchens now markets the brand Corningware, but they use a material called stoneware to make the dishes. These dishes are not made for stovetop usage, they are to be used in the oven, the microwave, the dishwasher, and refrigerator, and maybe the freezer - but not for quick changes in the temperature. Again, these items made from stoneware CAN NOT be used on the stove top. There are markings on the product and box that make this very clear. World Kitchens does not make any products for the stovetop. World Kitchens now markets all the kitchenware products that used to be made by Corning.
The bottom line - it depends upon the age of the cookware. The older cookware generally most definitely can be used on the stove top, it was made for it. The newer cookware - which is stoneware - is not and can not be used on the stovetop. Again, look at the bottom of the cookware, there are markings to indicate usage.
