Dadoes Moms stuff

Dadoes those electric skillets have a permanently sealed oil core in them that minimizes "cool off" when you add foods. I am sure you know they weigh a good bit with your mom having them. On E even the older ones bid out at $high. She made a very good investment. Is that her favorite cookware? alr2903.

Tupperware

"Yeah right! I've lost too many pieces of Tupperware that way!"

That's why the new Gladware and Ziploc plastic containers were such a good idea, sturdy enough to be microwaveable and last a while, but no expensive that you care if you get them back or not.

I cook with something that I can't destroy...

I use Chantal cookware. They have a warehouse in Houston and that is where I picked up the pieces. They are also sold at upscale department stores and "kitchen stores".

I had a 1970's set of Revereware, but gave it up for the Chantal about 10 years ago. The stuff is heavy, teflon (or similar) coated, has glass lids, and is oven safe. What more could I ask for? Perhaps a few more pieces......;-)

Reverware

Hey Folks-sounds like we all have a great collection of cookware--You all who have the old revere sets, hold on to them with all your might. They have allways been one of my favorites-I didn't start collecting them til the 70's and I have a couple of 50's 1 quarts. I was always in awe of those who chose to hang them on a revereware rack. Wished my Mom would have spent a little more on her pots-the descoware was nice, but we had a cabinet full of dimestore wearevers-not the good wearevers. I guess we just all have different priorities in life.

My mom still has and uses her Revereware. Been around since I was little. That Revereware she has has got to be at least 40 years old!
