I've been wanting to upgrade my current stock of Reverware pots

the Corning-Revere outlet store in Southern WA last weekend and got a set including a 3 qt. pan and 4.5 qt. "dutch oven" pot with two side handles. Yay! No more burned mashed potatoes... :-)
I've got a couple Revereware pans, JJ. One is a FOUR-quart saucepan that I use for darned near everything except making jam and jelly. The other is a 1-quart saucepan. I love them.
I remember when the standard for a dutch oven was six quarts. Now, one's lucky to find a 5-quart capacity. I wonder why the change. -- -Barb <http://jamlady.eboard.com> Updated 4-11-06, Church review #12

I've been wanting to upgrade my current stock of Reverware pots and pans for a loooong time. Mom always used Reverware and it's my favorite, much better (IMHO) that the Princess House [censored] I got talked into buying a few years ago. So I finally made it down to the Corning-Revere outlet store in Southern WA last weekend and got a set including a 3 qt. pan and 4.5 qt. "dutch oven" pot with two side handles. Yay! No more burned mashed potatoes... :-)

I KNOW! I KNOW!
Has to be because the only people who know how to cook these days (judging by the recent topic of convenience foods) are *us old farts* and our arthritis and bodgy joints prevent us being able to lift anything too big!!!

I was fortunate to inherit my grandmother's very large set of RevereWare that is now about fifty years old and still every bit as good as when first purchased for her by her by my aunts nd uncles one long ago Christmas. Silly me, I replaced it all with new RevereWare when giving the grandmother set to my son for the first-time furnishing of his own kitchen. Big mistake! The newer stuff may be as well made as old, but it certainly is not as heavy and either the lids or the pans themselves seem to be out of round so that way too much steam is allowed to escape while in use. I am very disappointed in my new set, but super-son has great respect for oldies that will serve him well for many years to come.

I've got that stuff too, and I love it. Only problem was caused by me. I tend to pour soaking water into the pans when they're still hot, and the bottoms warp. :-(

Family size. The webpage below says a 4qt dutch oven serves main dish servings 2-12 side dish servings 8-10 and a 6qt main dish servings 6-18 side dish servings to 30. Not as many want 18 servings of something.

Hey, most of my cookware is le crueset.... AND I make my own pasta!! (Ergo, why I know why most Italian pasta makers have upper arms and forearms to rival any wrestler!!!) These arms are capable of lifting just about anything - have even been known to rip doors off a fridge (no joke...don't ask!)
OT: Bought my Mum a fabulous ridged pan (Scanpan if memory serves) and she took it back because it was too heavy for her! Bought some silly unsubstantial piece of rubbish (and pocketed the change...grrr) then complained that it cooked badly. Gee.. wonder why?

DH and I wandered into the local hardware store a couple of weeks ago and discovered that they had things that must have been there for 20 or 30 years. When is the last time you saw replacement parts for a Thermos? I found a set of Revere pots and pans with the aluminum disk bottoms that were made in Clinton, IL. The copper bottomed sets were also made in Clinton. I really did not need the whole set but I did want the 4.5 quart pan and the skillet. Paid $160 (including 7%) tax for a 9 piece set. -- Susan N.

*WHERE* in Southern WA, Jani? Vancouver? (I'm sure hoping you meant SW WA as compared to SE--cos I'm not heading across the mountains for awhile, but a trip to Powell's in Portland is in the 'soon' list.
