What brand pots/pans do you use? (Magnalite, McWare, etc)

I stumbled on the thread below when doing research for pots/pans. I was unable to post to it since it was locked (to old). A couple of people on the thread mentioned McWare brand and that it was manufactured in LA. I emailed the company and they stated

"McWare cookware is owned and designed by a Louisiana company and manufactured in China."

This was disappointing, since I was hoping to buy something made in the US, being made in LA would have been icing on the cake.

So, does anyone have any recommendations?

I feel ya, but that's just not what we do anymore I suppose, make stuff that is.


The only thing name brand I own really is a Le Creuset pot and a couple magnelites I use on occasion. Most everything I own is all clad from various restaurant supply stores, a couple cast iron pots and pans I've picked up along the way, and a French carbon Steel.

My Aunt just gave me a few pieces of her old Magnalite stuff when I moved to into my new house. So far I absolutely love it.

We have some of everything mentioned so far. Either passed down to us or from getting married.

Combination...
2 pieces Old Magnalite from the 1970s.
2 pieces Cast iron from the late 1800s.
2 pieces of all clad.

I have no use for more than 6.

I bought a set of McWare about 3 years ago, and I have been pretty impressed. Like you, I was disappointed to see that they were "Made in China" but since the company is out of LA, I figured that was better than nothing. I got the 1qt, 2qt, 3qt, 6qt, 12 inch skillet and the non-stick roasting pan (AMAZING).

I also have a Le Creuset 12" skillet and a couple of off-brand enamel coated cast iron dutch ovens (they were free) that I really like and will replace with Le Creuset when they give out. They make great soups, etc.

These are the best. Reminds me when I use to visit grandma's house.

Stainless and Cast Iron only.

Brand doesn't matter much.

I don't use Teflon/non stick or aluminum.
