Magnalite Classic 13-Piece Cookware Set

I own five pieces of this cookware branded Magnalite. Four pieces were my mother's. She had them for over thirty years. They were made and marked by General Housewares Corp (GHC), an Indiana company, at their plant in Sidney, Ohio. The fifth piece was made there too but not by GHC and that's the problem. GHC made Magnalite up until 1995 when they sold the name Magnalite and the plant. The fourth piece I own was made in Ohio after 1995 by another company. Though it looks similiar in design, it is measurably half the thickness and weight of my mother's pieces. There is also another company that is using the name Magnalite that is making them in China. Replacement parts for the new Magnalite will not fit the original old pieces. So todays Magnalite is not the same as your mother's. Be advised.

My mother has had this line since she was married in 1970.They have been through everything from burnt-on peanut brittle syrup that required a few hours of steel wool and elbow grease to remove to 35 years of dishwasher cleanings.I expect she'll go to her grave with these pots.I, on the other hand, was married four years ago and recieved a "top-of-the-line" brand of cookware that has a non-stick coating that cost the same as this set.I've now had to replace the non-stick pans because the coating has started to peel, and my pans have never heated as evenly as those of my mother's.I've invested in Magnalites, and I expect they'll be the last cookware I'll ever buy.

This is not like my mother's original Magnalite Cookware set.Its lighter in weight for sure! Not overly pleased with the set.Not up to the standards of the old Magnalite, in my opinion.

I have an original set of this cookware that I purchased around 1963. I have always liked it but I wanted new because it was getting so pitted from so many years of use. I like the new set just as much. it is not as heavy but other then that I think it works as well as the original that has been pased down to my son.

The solid contruction and well machined lids make these a joy to use.We didn't want high maint. type of cookware just a high quality, easy to use and maintain product that looks good on the pot racks but cooks well every day.Boy we are impressed! These cook with even heat and the only negative found was that the lids fit so well you have remember to take them off befor the dish cools or a vacume can form inside requiring reheat to remove the lid. They are easy to clean and a dream to handle.
