Can you only get magnalite's in LA? I have tried searching for them in Texas but can't find them.

And as someone mentioned earlier, are the new magnalites not any more good?

A company named Wagner in Ohio originally manufactured the original Magnalite... They later Marketed it as Wagnerware - Magnalite.
Very good cookware
They were all stamped on the bottom -
Magnalite by Wagnerware


Later the company was purchased by GHC (General home company) the same company who sold Chicago Cutlery. The used the exact design and were in essence the same as the original.
These were all stamped Magnalite GHC

GHC added a line called Magpro... very different cookware... sales flopped and the entire Magnalite line was sold to a Chinese company
"World Kitchen"

World Kitchen sells a similar line as the original called "Magnalite Classic". It is widely available at Wal-marts everywhere.
Magnalite Classic
Still a very good product, but not the same as, or as good as the originals.

Re-enter Wagnerware - the original company who designed Magnalite. They now make a line called Magware, which is supposedly identical to the original line.
Wagnerware

Now which one would I recommend to someone buy new


None of them...

I'd check out Mcware.
I have checked them out and they are identical to Magnalite IMO.
McWare

Except they are stamped on bottom

McWare - Mamou,Louisiana

Available online and at Hardware stores all over South Louisiana.

I just bought a Green Pan from Chef Todd English. First non-stick that uses only metal, and can be heated to 800 degrees. I got the 11" grill pan. I should get it in the next day or two. I'll let you know how I like it.

First up will be barbecue shrimp.

If you are in BR , check out the resale flea-market on North Sherwood, they have a place in there that has the best selction and prices that I have seen in BR. Finders Keepers I think is the name of the place.
