Oh absolutely! Mine are working tools...with the added benefit of this
one just being so darn pretty too!
That is my only piece of LC, and I have one large cast iron skillet, but
the rest of my saucepans (7) are things we purchased in Germany, and
Revere Ware I've had since I Jesus was a private and I've never had any
complaints with and an assortment of frying pans and skillets I've
purchased as the need or desire hit me. Of course I also own a couple of
hugeass pasta and soup pots.
