I was googling 'large granite ware roaster' that Wayne said, "I still have a large granite ware roaster that I use for a lot of things. and I come up with this blogspot page with all the rfc postings. Is this an rfc page? I don't get it. 'Anyway,' I was wondering because some refer to a 'granny speckled roaster.' I've never heard it called that either. Or is large granite and granny speckled the same item? Thanks. Dee Dee |

Thanks. I had one for years, but discarded it; maybe it's floating around on ebay. I used it once a year for turkey. Dee Dee |

You can buy one at www.lehmans.com Not sure if they have the same size roaster you had. Grannyware and granite ware are two different things but they look similar ![]() Jill |

From the Goodman's site: "The name has changed several times over the last 125 years, but the business remains the same - producing porcelain on steel cookware. Columbian Home Products continues to manufacture the Granite Ware brand of cookware that has been its core product since the turn of the century. Granite Ware continues to provide the best performing roasters, and outstanding value in stock pots and specialty cookware. Canning is a time honored tradition and Granite Ware canners have been a part of home canning since 1853. Goodman's carries a full line of Granite Ware products including canners, kettles and colanders." |

Since 1974. We were visiting my uncle in Montana and had been out fishing. We got off the boat and walked ashore to some big box warehouse out in the middle of nowhere. There is was waiting for me: http://i25.tinypic.com/29mod2d.jpg I've never seen one since the size of this one. I use it for placing a pizza on when I first pull one off the stone. By now, it has a soul! Dee Dee |

I suppose the name Granite Ware is a bit like Kleenex, in that it has become almost a generic name for all brands of porcelain enameled steel ware as Klennex has for facial tissue. -- Wayne Boatwright ******************************************* Date: Wednesday, 01(I)/23(XXIII)/08(MMVIII) ******************************************* 'Fascinating,' said Spock, watching Kirk's lousy acting. ******************************************* |

Granite ware is a generic term for utilitarian items made of stamped metal (as opposed to molded or cast iron) and coated with enamel. It was available from many different manufacturers and made in many different countries starting in the 19th century. It is still being made, but the newer stuff I've seen doesn't compare in quality to the old stuff. The older stuff was highly collected in the 1980's. Color and pattern made some of it more desirable (and pricier), but whether it was speckled, splotched, hombre, or solid, it was all called Granite ware. It was bread and butter for an antique dealer - you could buy it for next to nothing at estate sales and the more charming & decorative pieces sold like hotcakes at some pretty stiff prices. For a while there, everybody seemed to want cute old Granite ware coffee pots, bread boxes & spice racks...even ladles & muffin tins were big sellers. Although most customers bought for decorative use, I remember one woman who went weak in the knees over a vibrant dark cobalt blue roasting pan. She planned to cook her Thanksgiving turkey in it. Unfortunately the bubble burst in the early '90's when a major collector published a price guide with values that were simply insane. People got greedy & it soured the market. Prices crashed, but not until most collectors had been permanantly scared away. Her lovely (but acursed) book is still available on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Collectors-Enc...Colors-Shapes/ dp/0891455345/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1201155566&sr=1-1 If you're serious about replacing, your best bet is ebay - look for an old one in mint condition - they do show up and you won't be paying a small fortune for it. The metal on the older pieces was heavier guage than what you're likely to find on a new piece and a new one just won't cook like your Mom's. Never heard the term Granny ware used - sounds like it might just be a sloppy pronunciation of Granite ware or something a modern manufacturer came up with to sound folksy. Nancy T |

The enamel ware, while pretty and always shown as the ideal cowbow-on-the-range-cookware is a lot heavier than folks might want to hand carry in that cute lil' picnic basket. If you're using your car as your "picnic carry basket" and driving up to the picnic table or meadow where you're going to drop your blanket then it doesn't matter? |

I'm sure the antiques are desireable and were great for antiques dealers in the day, but you can still buy the stuff. http://www.lehmans.com/shopping/sear...d=granite+ware http://www.lehmans.com/jump.jsp?item...at=0&i4Cat= 0 You can still buy Fiestaware, too. The production was discontinued for a while (due to lead content, I think) but I found a number of bright new Fiestaware bowls and a pitcher a few years ago available for sale at (of all places) 'Cracker Barrel' a few years ago. I saw them and snapped them up. Not to disparage you in any way, but things which are "antique" are often still available today. And quite usable. Jill |

Sorry, but my enameled granite ware isn't heavy (to carry). Maybe if I were hauling a whole chicken with gravy and dressing in the speckled roasting pan to a picnic... yeah ![]() I have a number of these sauce pans (which I highly recommend for ease of cleaning and the ability to go from stovetop to oven if needed). I can't see having a problem carrying the plates and cups to serve up a picnic lunch. I can definitely see how "cowboys" on the range in the late 1800's would have carried something like this for serving up supper. Jill |

The tin plates -- Actually I've not seen (in the OLD cowboy movies) them use this type of ware. It was usually plain tin cups and plates. Perhaps they were always depicting time when there was no granny ware. I just saw 3:10 to Yuma -- can't recall now what dinner ware they used, if any. Funny thing in U.S. movies, meals (people actually eating) are not really represented even though it is a large portion time-wise in our lives. However, I would say that "maybe" time-wise sex-scenes might be at its peak. Knawing at others mouths and growling is at an all-time high! ;-)) Dee Dee |
