Reply to comment by creedskeyboard in New member! Been lurking for a while! Just bought my daughter her first small gumbo pot! It’s a vintage Magnalite 5qt! These puppies last forever! by cindy_lou_who_1982

I use mine for almost everything. I’ve hear about the aluminum issue for years now. I still prefer them over and non-stick bs out there today. The inside of my aluminum pot doesn’t peel and crack, I’m good with that.

There are other options besides aluminum and nonstick. I avoid aluminum cookware out of an abundance of caution and I avoid nonstick because it doesn't last. I have lots of great stainless steel, cast iron, enameled cast iron, and tinned copper cookware.
