Cook Rite Pots and Pans

[GabrielleM]

I am looking for any information about Cook Rite pots and pans. I inherited a set from my grandmother who told me she used them through the Depression. They appear to be aluminum. Wondering if they have any value?

Gabrielle- I can only fine info on "Cook Rite ' Stone Ware" which is of no help.
Wagner Ware made a series of aluminum pots and pans called "KooK All" during that era and they are listed in the RB p. 36&37.
That's all I have....Good luck.

They might be Cast-Rite.

Cook Rite was a trademark of Aluminum Cookware Mfg. Co. of New York according to the backstamp on the bottoms.

Gabrielle, If you are interested in restoring the pots and pans you inherited, here is a link to the "how to" Doug has on the website: http://www.castironcollector.com/aluminum.php

I bought a Wagner Ware Magnalite Dutch Oven (because Bonnie made me jealous by posting hypnotically beautiful pictures of her Magnalite roaster) and followed Doug's instructions. I am really pleased with how it turned out.
