Flavorite cookware handle brackets broken
Question
June 28, 2010
As many other people have done, I bought a set of "lifetime" stainless steel pots and pans from a home demonstrator in the mid 1960's. The brand is Flavorite. The handles have broken over the years and were replaced. However, some of the handle brackets welded to the pots have also fallen off making the pots difficult, if not dangerous to use. I refuse to throw them away because of their quality. They look almost as good as the day I bought them over forty years ago. Although I have seen references to the Flavorite company, I haven't been able to actually find them. I assume they were purchased by another company. Do you have any idea where I can contact them or their new company? Does the term "lifetime" really apply, and if so, will Flavorite honor that warranty? I love these pots and pans.

Blacl coating came off outside of cookware
Question
June 16, 2010
I have a set of Miracle Maid cookware with (what I think is stainless on the inside) flat black on the outside. I used to put the pots in the dishwasher and they formed a white type coating on the outside so my mother scrubbed them to get it off. I think she took the black coating off because nothing seems to bring it back. Many of the lids are still black on the outside and the inside. I see cleaning instructions online for these pots but I think they are to clean the insides and that the outsides should not be scrubbed for the very reason that I think the coating is being removed. If I am wrong, how do I get the black coating to reappear and if not, how do I find out if they can be recoated? Thank you.

Wants Emdeko cookware handles
Question
April 28, 2010
My husband and I were called(lured!) by a salesperson to a local site here in our town and we bought.....projector/Emdeko stainless cookware/and Emdeko portable sewing machine, fortunately they all worked well, still have them (purchased in the '70's).Unfortunately my handles also are...no more!! To me, this cookware is as good as Saladmaster, of which I have. I need two pan replacements. All I remember is that Emdeko was out of Salt Lake City,Utah. Could we find out anything from there?? Could their Chamber of Commerce do some research about this?? Wouldn't hurt to try,seems like many people bought into this as we did. Pans are still in excellent condition except the handles!! Thanks, GW

Wants handles for Westminster cookware
Question
March 15, 2010
In 1970 I purchased some "waterless" pots & have used them ever since. The handles are finally going & I am in desperate need of replacements. I live in Canada & the name on the pots is Westminster. They also say deluxe 3 ply 18-8 Stainless steel. Made in Canada. Do you know where I could purchase these handles?

Answer
The company probably went out of business or was sold. Often repair shops, cookware dealers or hardware stores have generic handles that may fit.
Best wishes in finding replacement handles.

Answer
After 45 years, the company probably has either gone all of business or has been purchased by another cookware company. Regal Ware has purchased many cookware companies. you can check with them to see if Victoria Premier is one of their products: https://www.regalware.com/en_lang/contact_us.htm
sometimes local repair shops have universal knobs and handles that will fit. You can also try that.
