I really like my Revereware. I have had it for close to 20 years and it
still looks like new. I bought open stock, so that I could buy the pieces I
wanted, and the prices were right. Weight is the reason why I only have
one Le Creuset dutch oven, since I find their pots very heavy to handle and
tip.
