Magnalite cookware refers to a line of cast aluminum cookware known for its durability and heat retention, while Magnalite by Wagner specifically refers to the brand that produces this type of cookware. The original Magnalite was developed in the 1940s, and Wagner became the trademark holder, enhancing the brand's reputation with quality manufacturing. Both types share similar features, but the branding and production history distinguish them.
To be authentic Magnalite by Wagner, the bottom of the cookware will bear the following stylized trademarks: "Wagner Ware" (WagnerWare) or "GHC" plus "MAGNALITE"

Yes, just keep in mind the temperature around the handle. The cookware is made of magnesium and is rated for high heat but the handle will melt.
To refinish Magnalite cookware and prevent sticking, first clean the surface thoroughly with a non-abrasive cleaner to remove any residue. Next, lightly sand the cooking surface with fine-grit sandpaper to create a smoother texture. Afterward, apply a thin layer of vegetable oil and heat the pan on low for about 10-15 minutes to season it, which helps create a non-stick surface. Finally, let the cookware cool before wiping off any excess oil.
The handle has broken off of my smallest pot. I use it to make rice & tea in. Is the handle replaceable? Thank you. Carole Brownell
To clean Magnalite cookware, first, allow it to cool completely before handling. Use a soft sponge or cloth with warm soapy water to wipe down the surfaces, avoiding abrasive cleaners that can scratch the finish. For tough stains or burnt food, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently scrubbed on the affected areas. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft towel to prevent water spots.
This type of cookware is made of aluminum which is a reactive and soft metal. During cooking, the aluminum can leech to the food being prepared.
