I have used my magnalite cook ware for 33 years. I am so pleased to get an additional set at a great price. The new set has deeper pots, and I like this because they stack well into my older set. My mother has the complete set with the roaster. She got it with S&H Green Stamps back in 1960′s. They are her favorite to use for daily and holiday cooking. Magnalite is a family favorite. My older sister has a set too!

My mother has used Magnalite professional for 20+ years now and it’s still as good as the day she got it. Magnalite classic is completely different, and apparently fussy to care for.
If you read comments and do your research, you’ll find that this is *not* the original Magnalite formula. The way I understand it, one company (World Kitchen) owns the name “Magnalite”, and a separate company (American Culinary) owns the formula to both the classic and professional materials. This “Magnalite Classic” is manufactured in China, and doesn’t live up to many of its claims.
I was excited to receive this set as a wedding gift because my mother’s set of Magnalite Pro is decades old and fantastic. Nothing has ever stuck to her pots and pans, and it’s convenient to be able to wash them in the dishwasher. I noticed this was different because it was heavier, but a glance at the care guide didn’t seem to indicate anything odd. It was interesting that the instructions claimed I *might* have to season it if food stuck to it. Boy, did it ever. I tried frying some breakfast sausage and had to scrape the patties off of the skillet; it’s still got round stains where each sausage laid. My wife decided maybe I did something wrong and cooked some soup in the saucepan; now the entire saucepan is stained from the soup.
Nowhere in the care instructions was it mentioned *how* you should season the cookware. Nowhere on the manufacturer’s web site does it explain how you should season the cookware. I immediately emailed the manufacturer about my negative experience and asked for instructions for seasoning the cookware. That was a year ago, and I never heard back. I’m about to try seasoning it like a cast iron skillet; if it damages it I won’t be any worse off than I already am. I see a reviewer has left instructions to use a low heat for 8 hours; should I have to turn to Amazon.com for instructions? Can I trust this reviewer?
I’m sure the cast aluminum is really good; our apartment stove is cruddy and the elements are uneven. This heavy cookware would do wonders for us if food didn’t stick to it like gum to shoes. I am unable to use it because the manufacturer does not include adequate care instructions and obviously has no desire to resolve issues with customers.
I’d strongly recommend looking for American Culinary’s professional line if you’re looking for cookware like this. It seems comparable in price, and looks exactly like my mother’s Magnalite professional (down to the lids.) I would not recommend this Magnalite Classic to anyone, unless somehow the manufacturer decides to bless us with information about how to properly care for it.

Like many from the South, I grew up with my parents only cooking out of these pots – I loved them from an early age when I helped mom and dad cook all the Louisiana favorites in these! When I moved to college, there was no way I was cooking out of cheap teflon pots – i begged and begged my parents to find these magnalites for me, and fortunately, Amazon made that easy – I’ve been out of college for some time now, and these pots are still some of my favorite kitchen items – I use them, along with a couple of Le Creuset dutch ovens, and a few Le Creuset stainless steel pots – But these Magnalites are used for nearly everything in my every day cooking.
When using these, cook on medium – the high setting is way too high – aluminum is a fantastic heat conductor, therefore, anything above medium is overkill. To keep these nice and shiny, use Bar Keepers Friend – it removes any of the grayish residue that you get from boiling water in these pots. Anything acidic, as in tomato sauce or lemon will also do the trick – and then scrub with a steel sponge – then they are like new again!
These pots are definitely a must-have in any kitchen – they are affordable and really do the job – yes, they are ugly pots, but who cares – cooking is truly enjoyable in these pots! My favorite of the line is the 15 inch Roaster – you can do huge batches of anything in there!
