Whenever I'm ready to cook oatmeal, without the crock pot, or vegetables or make soup, I look for the heavy three-quart aluminum vintage pot that has been in the family since Dan was a child. If others have been cooking, I may have to dig around in the back of the cabinet to find it, because few other family cooks share my enthusiasm for this pot.

The pot is very heavy with a secure handle that grips nicely and a lid that fits tightly to retain steam. Because of the thickness of the aluminum, food doesn't burn easily. I've looked on Ebay occasionally to see if I can find another like it with no luck. The mark on the bottom of the pot reads "
No.986, WEAR-EVER, Aluminum Trade-Mark, Made in Canada". I suspect it is 1940s or perhaps even 1930s vintage.

This old pot is among my favorite things in the Marble Mountain house. I wonder how many cooks over the years have prepared potatoes, turnips, peas, or carrots with the pleasure this pot gives me.
