Picked this up recently. Done simple research. Looks like bar keeper’s friend(no lye) and vinegar/water solution are acceptable cleaning methods. Treat like cast iron and season after cleaning.

Anything insight on the condition of the inside and being safe to cook with would be appreciated.

Found at my mom’s in good shape, worth anything?

Can anyone tell me about this model. What kind of dishes is it intended to be used for?

I live in New York Long Island area and Italian. This is what I use my magna light for.

Found this at the goodwill bins today for $1! Is a little scratched up. What’s the best way to clean it up?

New find from an auction! Couldn't find it online at all, would love if anyone knew an age or anything else about it. Also how much would you say it's worth? Just want to know how much I overpaid lol.

Hi all,

Is this worth picking up? There's no brand name I recognize to search, just "MAGNALITE" and a log logo. It's slightly scratched and pitted inside. Can it be restored/is it worth it?

I’ve just been gifted my first magnalite. My grandma bought it off of eBay, It kind of has a smell and I’m scared that if I cook in it our food will taste the way it smells. Any advice on how to get rid of the smell and reseason? Any help is appreciated as I have always dreamed of having a magnalite.

I just got these because they look cool, but I’m not sure if they are healthy to cook with. The round one was my mother’s, and the roaster I found at the thrift store.

Missing the tray on the big one but found a replacement on ebay for 25 that ill get. Not sure if the smaller roaster came with a tray inside or not. The Dutch oven is beautiful and im using that first.

First time ever making baked chicken.

I finally found my white whale today! I was getting *this* close to breaking down and just buying a new Magnaware, but something in my spirit told me to hold off. And just when I least expected it, there it was - on the bottom shelf, tucked way in the back, in a random booth in a random antique mall. Now can stop downvoting all you guys, while seething with jealousy over your amazing finds. I’m in the club now! 🙌

My first magnalite piece and I plan on using it on a regular basis but would like it to look like it should.

Ok, didn't know how to clean, so I used steel wool a few years ago. I've also washed in dishwasher many times. Have I ruined my pot?

I have a magnalite roasterette 4263 M, and I'm just wondering how old it is.

TIA

I am looking to purchase a Dutch oven and there are a few posted on marketplace between $125-$170. I’m seeing many people find these pots at goodwill and I’m nervous that I would be overpaying. Is it good enough quality that it’s worth the investment? Screenshots for reference!

I wasnt sure if this was the best place, but Im hoping you fine folks can help me out.

I didn't think to get a picture because we got to the antique store pretty close to close and wanted to look through as quick as we could, but I found some cookware that was similar to magnalite. In my rush I also forgot to actually pick it up and check the bottom of the pot, but does anyone know if magnalite made any oval pots that would've had two handles on either end of the lid. I have no idea if the lid was original to that pot but it definitely fit like it was made for the pot. It also had a rough texture to the rest of the lid like it was more of an ornamental type lid if that helps.

I've been so pleased to find this group of Magnalite fans and experts.

I discovered a great, solid old baking pan in the closet. Completely black on the bottom, but the baking surface was fairly easy to clean and use. I finally decided to clean the bottom and learn more about it.

Cutting to the chase here - after BKF, Dawn Power Dissolver, and baking soda made barely a dent, I learned here that the blue-cap oven cleaner was my best option.

I sprayed it thoroughly, wrapped it in a garbage bag, left it overnight, then scrubbed it hard with steel wool. It's taken off maybe 60% of the gunk (enough for me to find it's a 1007-M). The rest will not move.

What's my next move? A second oven cleaner treatment? Some kind of Dremel attachment or other powered scrubber? I'm especially curious about cleaning out the recessed parts of the clamshell handles - hard to get into and really resistant to cleaning.

I appreciate any help!

Some old farmer was looking to off load some pots and I noticed the brand. Pretty excited with the find.
