Last night I dragged out a NOS piece of this cookware. The interesting thing is that the lid is heavier than the pan. It cooked just fine, as I was led to believe it would. |

Chafing dish? Buffet server?
Is Vollrath a commercial product? Fun to use. Throw stuff on it; keeps it hot. Nicer appearing than most. Also: Please note my toilet-paper-tube cord-keeper trick that I believe I learned from Dorsey Connors.

,.. So to speak.
Here is my “three-rubber-bands-lid-holder-while-you-store-it” trick.

Never heard of Vollrath cookware but googling seems to be commercial stuff mostly.
A couple of weeks ago whilst haunting the aisles of Value Village I happened upon a small covered saucepan about 8". It an Ecko and on the side it says EHP Ecko Home Products. Ultra Ease II Inducta core 7 ply 304 S.S. Has a little adjustable vent in the lid as well and appears to have been never or lightly used so I bought it for about $3.99 with my seniors day discount LOL. Like I need another pan but I won't pass up quality on the cheap. Feels like real quality stuff but I can find little on EHP online if they're even still in the business anymore making quality stuff other than the normal sort of cheap Ecko aluminum stuff thats been around forever. Paul that electric server/dish looks great, it looks sort of familiar like I've seen one before but who knows.. company's were pumping out those sort of things for quite a while but you never see them these days. |

We took a drive up along the west coast of Lake Michigan--there are a bunch of old stamping companies along the coastline which are familiar names...Vollrath, Regal, etc. (Looked quite similar to the eastern coast--lots of old industrial buildings). It appeared that they each had their own legacy materials (aluminum, stainless, tri-ply, quad-ply) which they made for themselves and OEMed for everyone else...obviously production in China has changed things a bit but the stamped forms of the "direct to customer" multi-ply cookware (for example) seem to be reallllly common (the only differences are the handles/knobs).

Here's a link to a timeline of the Vollrath Co.
The Vollrath family has been very philanthropic over the years to the Sheboygan community as well. In 1931 the family turned over a beautiful piece of property to the city for use as a park which is still in use.
