Week 1 Tailgate Menu

[TravlnCajun]

Our TG spot main course is white beans & ham over rice. Next door is grilling hamburgers. Most members of both groups will partake in both items. Of course there will be many side dishes & some fried chicken as well

[CajunVic]

Speaking of Magnalites, I’ll be right out to the tailgate area as soon as I finished getting all these cleaned up:

I have about 11 of the ones shown and several smaller ones. They are great. Kids are already putting dibs on them.

What you cooking?

On the menu at Spot 315
-Pastalaya in the black pot
-Burgers & Hot Dogs for the kids

This guy can cook folks. Probably a better cook than coach.

Lordy, I need to never come back to this page, Mrs. Zoom would see this and tell me which pots she doesn't have and why she needs it.

Very nice collection, things you'd see at a very nice camp.

I restore, repair, and sell original Magnalite. That other shelf I posted is some stock waiting to find a new home.

Currently working on these:

Yeah, I restore, repair, sell original Magnalite. That other shelf I posted is some older stock.

do you use barkeepers on it?

[GreatestStory]

A few older and less seen pieces (kettle, coffee pot, baking pans, chef skillet, bun warmer, etc.).

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.

[GreatestStory]

do you use barkeepers on it?

I do not use Barkeepers Friend, although a lot of people do.

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).

[Turbine]

I love it.

[CajunAmos]

Can you flatten out the bottoms?

[GreatestStory]

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.

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