Best cookware on the market!
By DIY Grandma
My mother always used Guardian Service cookware, bought back in the early 1950′s, which was the ultimate in cookware then, also being cast aluminum. I inherited her cookware (which they no longer make) but not until I had already purchased a Magnalite set, which is the closest match to the Guardian Service. It is true waterless cooking. Easy clean up. I never had to “season” mine first (that’s usually only done with cast iron cookware) and I’ve had most of my Magnalite pieces for 30 years. A 15 lb turkey fits in the 15″ roaster and I get raves every Thanksgiving . . . the roaster practically makes it’s own dark, rich gravy and the turkey meat is so moist! To me, as a devoted family “chef”, nothing on the market can beat Magnalite.

these made in china, older ones made in usa
By RENAISSANCE MAN
after reading both the 15 and 18 inch roaster reviews i learned that these magnalites are made in china now and so the testimonies of magnalite quality over many years are no longer valid for these chinese models. what we need are reviews by people who have actually purchased these now available from china. apparently some reviewers of the 18 inch
model say there are problems now. the reviews for the 15 inch model seem to focus on older usa made models in the family for years…but that isn’t helpful since they aren’t even made here now. please, some of you who’ve actually used these new products…write some reviews for us…

AMAZING ROASTER
By Katy Henry
This is an amazing pot. I use it for everything from chicken and dumplings on the stove top to roasts in the oven. My mother has one she purchased in the 1950′s that works as good as new today. Would recommend this roaster to anyone who enjoys good cooking and good eating.
