I have been using the same pot and pans since 1960. Good ole Revere Ware. The Revere Ware is still fine I just wanted something pretty and new. After all these years of raising two boys and taking care of dogs cat, gerbils, pony, ducks, and tropical fish I decided to reward myself with some beautiful Cuisinart cookware. They are red and so pretty in my newly remodeled kitchen. They cook beautifully and I am so happy with them. I am having a hard time getting rid of my Revere Ware though. Guess I will give them to the mission. I'm sure someone needs them.
