3458.0. "Magnalite Pots" by USMFG::BHYNES () Wed Feb 12 1992 13:21

    I have a friend who has this pot that I am wondering about. On the
    bottom of the pot it has the following;
    
    	Wanger
         Ware
    
    	Sindey
    	 -0-
    
    	Magnalite
    	 4248-M
    
    Its a real lite pot yet durable. Any ideas out here??

3458.1Durable yes, but ...RDVAX::MCCABEWed Feb 12 1992 13:457
    Magnalite is a brand name of a professional pan maker.  The magnalite
    pans that I have a very heavy cast alum with an anodized coating.
    
    I also have some Magnapro pans which are 18/10 stainless steel.
    
    Neither can be described as light ...
    
3458.2Sounds like one of the "original" Magnalite pansSHARE::RICHARDSONwelcome to our 1st annual bizarreWed Feb 12 1992 14:266
    It is probably one of the original Magnalite pans.  These were a 
    magnesium/aluminum alloy that provided the heat transmission of
    aluminum pans without the weight.  Mine are quite lightweight and
    have proven very durable.
    

3458.3 IMO They are GreatWMOIS::BOHNET_BThu Feb 13 1992 13:3910
    I have had 4 Magnalite pans for over 30 years, they were second hand
    when I got them,  They are easy to clean, and light weight.  I have
    never had a problem with things burning in them.  I have seen them a
    couple of times, and the newer ones are EXPENSIVE.....  If  you don't
    want them, I might be interested.
    
    I am slowly trying no decrease the amount of 'stuff' that I have around
    the house.  We are considering a smaller place.

3458.5Indiana.... I thinkWMOIS::BOHNET_BWed Feb 19 1992 11:065
    To my knowledge the company still exist... A friend of mine recently
    (like last year) ordered their large roaster...  I think they were in
    Indiana, but that's only a guess.
