How Does One Clean The Inside Of An Old Magnalite Pot
Is there a way to clean such a pot? The inside is discolored, with
black spots and nothing seems to work to get it clean. It is a small One Quart pot. Does one of you know the secret? Thank you. |

I could not use it even if it were, as it is much too heavy for my arthritic fingers and hands to handle. I use T-Fal's cookware, who still make delightfully light weight pots and pans. The One Quart pot belongs to a neighbor. She is throwing it out, but she wanted me to give it one try with this news group. Except for the ugly inside, the pot is fine and can still be used for cooking, but it sure looks disgusting with all those black spots. |

I will take a look in some of the hardware stores in this area and ask in a couple of restaurant where I know the owners. |

Thank you. I had Magnalite pots as a young bride. They were my favorite pots. The inside gets pitted from acid over the years. I don't know what the other dark spots are, but clean it with Bon Ami and a green 3M pad. It should shine right up. |

I will get some Bon Ami and also some Cream of Tartar (Barbara's suggestion) and see whether one or the other will do the job. I have the green Rescue Pads and Comet, but I will try the Bon Ami, if I can find some. Thank you, Janet and Barbara. |

Thank you. You might want to try Barkeeper's Friend (very cautiously!), especially if the cream of tartar treatment helped. Both are acids; the BF is oxalic, which I believe to be rather stronger. -- Beartooth Implacable, PhD, Neo-Redneck Linux Convert What do they know of country, who only country know? |

Thank you. My Magnalite has several different types of spots, light areas from acids, dark areas from searing meats and who knows what else. All of which have been there for years. There's really no hope for them, IMO. -sw |

Just a suggestion......
Years ago, it may have been on this NG, somebody suggested cleaning up moderately scratched up S/S with an oil-based auto valve grinding compound. I tried it and it worked like a charm. THe product he/she recommended was, IIRC, DuPont No 7 automobile valve lapping compound. Back then you could also get a fine-grit paste auto polish. For you young'uns, that was when US autos had baked on enamel paint, not this soft acrylic (or whatever) paint. Think garnet dust polishing paste... I think jewelers still use that method. Soft cloth or paper towel, lapping compound, elbow grease, and you're in the S/S mirror business. Does anybody remember this?

I have bought a couple of pieces at a local Goodwill Store for $1 and $2. You've gotta search through a lot of junk for a few treasures (in the company of some really strange people, too!)

Most of it is cherry picked around here and now Good Will has stores for the "better" quality merchandise. >These things don't just jump into your lap, ya know? I know. Back when the military was on the SF Presidio, there was a second hand shop where I found some great buys. Mainly knick knacky things, no kitchenware that I drooled over. Way back in the day before used furniture stores decided to call themselves "antique shops", I found many pieces of furniture at a good price. -- I never worry about diets.

It's not the pot you have trouble lifting, it's what you put inside... other than cast iron you would have exactly the same difficulty with any 1 qt pot when filled with liquid.. you'd then have the same difficulty handling a 1qt container of milk. And why would you need to lift a pot except to place it on the stove (empty), and then you can either lift the pot to pour, or if too heavy use a ladle, whenevr possible, for safety, one should use a ladle to serve from a cook pot. I don't have the foggiest idea what anyone does with a one quart pot anyway... it's way too small for me to use as a urinal. It's very easy to clean discolored cast aluminum... polish with fine steelwool. If it's pitted toss it. |
