Dr. Arnold H. Kegel is named as the Chicago Commissioner of Health, which helps date the brochure. According to the testimonials printed on the rear page, both from Cast-Rite users and Dr. Kegel, the health benefits of cooking with these utensils was nothing short of miraculous.

I just love the oval roaster!
Michael - I have a friend who used her roaster to make large batches of cabbage rolls.
I have a coffee/tea kettle, not s basket with holes and lid. Doesn't appear to ever have had a tube like a peculator. Did you just pour hot water over the grounds?
I have a large Cast-Rite Ware pot that was my Mothers. I was wondering if anyone knows if it is supposed to be treated with oil rather than washed, similar to Cast Iron cookware?
I just found, what I believe is, a Cast-Rite Oval Roaster Double, in excellent condidtion. I love to cook but have never seen or used anything like this before. I came across your site & thought you might be able to help. How and what does one cook with this pot? Were there anycook books made by or for cast-rite cook ware? Thanks for suggestions you have. Jennifer
I have a dutch oven that I use to make tsimmes (shredded carrots,sweet potatoes, meat and a dumpling). However, I recently overcooked it and am now having trouble cleaning my pot.
Does anyone have any suggestions on cleaning Cast-Rite Cook Ware?
I just bought a Cast-rite pan at a garage sale. I have been trying to find information about this type of pan and about the company who made it. I am interested in knowing how old it is, also.
