Magnalite Cookware: A Legacy of Innovation and Quality


Welcome to the story of Magnalite, a revolutionary line of cookware that has left an indelible mark on culinary history. Magnalite’s journey begins in the early 1930s when the Wagner Manufacturing Company introduced this pioneering line of cast aluminum products.

During a period overshadowed by the Great Depression, Magnalite emerged as a beacon of innovation. Industrial designer John Gordon Rideout, in collaboration with Harold Van Doren, undertook the task of reimagining Wagner’s product line. Their goal was clear: to create cookware that not only stood the test of time but also offered unparalleled performance in the kitchen.

The hallmark of Magnalite cookware lies in its construction from a patented aluminum alloy. This alloy was meticulously engineered to deliver exceptional heat conductivity, ensuring that every dish cooked with Magnalite achieves perfection.

One of the earliest breakthroughs came with the design of the Magnalite teakettle in 1933. Rideout and Van Doren incorporated varying thickness into the kettle’s construction, optimizing heat distribution for a superior boiling experience. The following year, they unveiled the Magnalite aluminum covered casserole, further cementing Magnalite’s reputation for innovation and quality.

Growing up in the South, my parents exclusively cooked our family meals in Magnalite pots—a tradition I cherished from a young age while helping my parents prepare classic Louisiana dishes. When I headed off to college, I refused to settle for cheap Teflon alternatives, so I pleaded with my parents to find me Magnalite cookware, thankfully available on Amazon. Now, years after college, these pots remain among my most beloved kitchen essentials, alongside a couple of Le Creuset Dutch ovens and stainless steel pots. Magnalite is my go-to for everyday cooking tasks.

In 1983, my mother gifted me a set of Magnalite cookware, which quickly became a beloved staple in my kitchen. Fast forward to 2002, when I stored away my cherished cookware to use my mother’s old set while we built our handcrafted log home from scratch. This past fall, hearing my oldest daughter’s complaints about her cookware, I decided to gift her a 13-piece set of Magnalite for Christmas. The quality surpassed all expectations, just like my original set from ’83.

For generations, my family has sworn by Magnalite pots – from my great grandmother to my mom, they’ve been a kitchen staple. I strayed from tradition once, opting for a pricier, trendier brand, only to find them falling apart within a year and a half. That’s when I decided to embrace the tried-and-true and join the Magnalite club. These pots are not only sturdy and beautiful but also ensure even cooking, making every meal a delight. Just a word of caution: be mindful when cooking with acidic ingredients and clean them promptly afterward. My laziness led to some discoloration inside, but the pots themselves are still going strong – just with a seasoned look before their time!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my husband to replace our old, scratched, and dented roaster without a cover. He was beyond thrilled! The roaster is impressively huge, heavy-duty, and has a striking appearance. Cleaning it after roasting a 25+ lb. turkey was a breeze. While some say the new Magnalites don’t match up to the old ones, I can’t see how this one could be any better. We’ve only used it once so far, but I’ll update my review if anything changes. As of now, it’s definitely worth every penny – a top-quality item that seems built to last for generations.

I’m absolutely thrilled with this purchase! My mother received one as a wedding present back in 1970, and we still use it to this day. It makes the most delicious pot roast, among other delectable dishes! I was so enamored with hers that I had to get one for myself. From the very first corned beef, it performs just as beautifully as hers. The size is perfect for cooking any large roast with vegetables, potatoes, and all the fixings, with ample room to spare. Initially, I bought the 18-inch size, but found it a bit too large for everyday use – perfect though for those big holiday turkeys!

I’m absolutely hooked on my Magnalite frying pan! From sizzling steaks to fluffy omelets and golden-fried chicken, this pan has become my kitchen workhorse. The heat distribution is seriously impressive, ensuring that every dish cooks evenly and comes out just right – no more worrying about hot spots or uneven cooking. And cleaning? A breeze! A quick wash with soapy water and it’s as good as new. I find myself reaching for it every time I cook, and I couldn’t be happier with how it performs. If you’re in the market for a frying pan that delivers on both quality and ease of use, look no further than Magnalite – it’s a game-changer in the kitchen!
