Like many from the South, I grew up with my parents only cooking out of these pots - I loved them from an early age when I helped mom and dad cook all the Louisiana favorites in these! When I moved to college, there was no way I was cooking out of cheap teflon pots - i begged and begged my parents to find these magnalites for me, and fortunately, Amazon made that easy - I've been out of college for some time now, and these pots are still some of my favorite kitchen items - I use them, along with a couple of Le Creuset dutch ovens, and a few Le Creuset stainless steel pots - But these Magnalites are used for nearly everything in my every day cooking.
When using these, cook on medium - the high setting is way too high - aluminum is a fantastic heat conductor, therefore, anything above medium is overkill. To keep these nice and shiny, use Bar Keepers Friend - it removes any of the grayish residue that you get from boiling water in these pots. Anything acidic, as in tomato sauce or lemon will also do the trick - and then scrub with a steel sponge - then they are like new again!
These pots are definitely a must-have in any kitchen - they are affordable and really do the job - yes, they are ugly pots, but who cares - cooking is truly enjoyable in these pots! My favorite of the line is the 15 inch Roaster - you can do huge batches of anything in there!
