ABOUT GUARDIAN SERVICE COOKWAREGuardian Service cookware (GS), aka Guardian Ware, is a highly sought after collectible for a variety of reasons: the heavy-duty construction of this hammered aluminum waterless cookware makes it almost bullet-proof; the excellent way the cookware prepares food; and the nostalgia of cooking with the same type of cookware your parents or grandparents did. Century Metalcraft Corporation of Los Angeles, California manufactured Guardian Service cookware from the mid 1930s until 1956, when the plant burned down. During this period independent salesman sold GS cookware similar to the way Tupperware was sold in the 1960s. A hostess would host a party at their house, and invite several of their friends over. At these dinner parties, a GS salesman would prepare a delicious meal for the guests, all in hopes of selling them some GS cookware. GS cookware was considered to be an expensive set of cookware during the 1940s and 50s. It would cost about a month's pay to buy the full set. In today's dollars, that would be about $2,500. In many cases, the dinner party guests would only buy one or two pieces. In the 70's Guardian Service Cookware in Stanton California purchased the patent rights to Guardian Service Cookware and resumed production until the early 2000's. GS cookware is constructed out of hammered aluminum, and is considered to be heavy-duty in contrast to today's cookware. During the pre-WWII years, this cookware had metal lids. But, because of the rationing during the War, the lids were then made from glass. GS cookware has the trademark Knight's helmet logo stamped on the bottom of the cookware. There were 3 different designs of the logo: One had the Knight's helmet and crossed swords, the next had the helmet and 2 stars on either side, and the last version had the helmet and 3 stars on either side. The glass lids also were etched with the Knight's helmet, but they also had crossed battle axes. The key to the excellent cooking qualities of GS cookware, is traced to its domed-lid construction. This waterless cookware utilizes high domed glass lids which are designed so that the food's moisture would condense while cooking, and then drip back down on the food. Plus, the patented bases of the GS cookware insure uniform heating of the food. There are a variety of sizes of GS cookware pots and pans, ranging from 1 quart to 4 quarts. Roasters, griddles, kettle ovens, beverage urns, and double boilers are also part of the collection. And, an unusual set of triangle-shaped pots known as the "Economy Trio" can cook vegetables in three pots on one burner. This is done by setting the three pots on a large trivet. One of the main selling points about GS cookware, is as "Dual-purpose cooking and table service equipment". You can cook your food in it, and then set it right on your table to serve from, on hotplates of course.
