Can you flatten out the bottoms?

Yes, I can flatten out "spinners" (as they are called). It is one of the repairs I probably do most often. There is a risk of the pot cracking when performing this repair. Especially if you do not know what you are doing.

I have flattened out many over the years and only ever had two that cracked. Both of the ones which cracked were very pitted and the pots were already worn down from years of improper care.

To remove carbon buildup (black deposits on bottom) I use a product called "Carbon Off". It replaces A LOT of the elbow grease typically needed to remove the deposit formed over years of use.

If a customer requests the oxidation removed and exterior shined to the original finish, I will use either Flitz or Mothers Mag polish. I never use either of those two products on the interior (cooking surfaces).

I wouldn't use the Flitz or mother's polish anywhere near a pot that was destined for cooking. I dunno.

Ebay or Face Book, or web?

The roaster pictured in the bottom middle is an original Magnalite roaster from the 1930s. It has dual handles on the sides of the lid and sides of the pot.
