 It’s time for passing the pots to daughter, no more big meals. Cajuns use Magnalite, too heavy now for wife, give while you can see the appreciation,

I never knew of this series of Magnalite cookware, and it being a Cajun tradition to use them. They look like very nice and long lasting cookware compared to most the junk you find everywhere today.

Good stuff. I have one Magnalite saucier, a big 'un. Your daughter can carry on the tradition.
Mostly I use iron in all sizes from small to very large. One is a Griswald oven. My mother gave it to me around 1973. Her mother gave it to her around 1937. When I think of the stews, chili con carnes, gumbos, etc that have been made in it over the decades!

That's a fine set! We have a Magnalite roaster we got from Karen's mom. Makes the best pot roast.

That's a great tradition.
Grandma only passed me her baked bean pot. It probably meant more to her than the nice Le Creuset stuff that went elsewhere.

It’s time for passing the pots to daughter, no more big meals. Cajuns use Magnalite, too heavy now for wife, give while you can see the appreciation, I thought about 'the passing of the pots' to my daughter. Then I remembered the pot situation here at home: I have a shelf with my pots and pans - copper, carbon steel, enameled and plain cast iron. And she has her shelf - all teflon coated. Some people just aren't willing to take care of pots and pans, so there's no point. I had not heard of Magnalite, but will ask my Dad about it - his Mother, Cajun, was a tremendous cook but I have no idea what she used. I just ate it. |

A wise decision as one gets older, is to distribute the stuff to the people you want it going to, especially when it is just gathering dust.

Magnalite is the cooks answer to metal/food interactivity. Truly wonderful cookware and the best selection for cooking acidic based foods. My folks passed on their magnalite cookware to me and I am passing it on to my wifes' son along with all my restaurant grade cookware and knives.
You can't beat this magnalite for great cooking...and yeah, it is heavy!

Your wife is a lovely lady, and I know that cookware has served your family well over the years, but the photo saddens me also, because so many of us are at the same point in life. I try to enjoy each day, but more and more I feel that the best days are behind me.

Nice Magnalite set. My wife has a set of cast iron cookware that weighs a ton. Pots, pans, skillets, etc. Don't use them all the time but when we do seems to make the food taste so much better.

I’m betting the Romans had a similar ceremony.

I’m betting the Romans had a similar ceremony. For chamberpots. |
