Many years ago my wife inherited a couple of heavy cast aluminum Dutch oven-style pots and a few years ago they started shedding their nonstick coating, which I believe was Silverstone (the pots are probably from the late '60s or early '70s). Here's what one of them looked like:
You'd like to cook with that, right?
Someone had once told me that there's a company in Sheboygan, WI that will recoat pans so I did some checking and found OPI. After getting a quote for the pots I took them there a couple of weeks ago and picked them up yesterday. The above pot now looks like this:
I used it to boil pasta last night and it worked just fine, and I no longer get little specks of nonstick coating in my food.
The smaller pot was just under $40 and the larger was just over, so for about $80 and tax I have 2 pots that will hopefully last another 50 years or so.
