Hearing that you have pieces older than your grandparents made me feel really old, but then I realized that my grandparents and parents had kids late in life

No need to feel old! 😂

I did more research today, and based off the pot handles my oldest are probably from 1946-1968, so older than my parents still, but probably not my grandparents. Maybe I’ll find a really old one someday. :)

Revere Ware was introduced in 1939 and my grandparents were born between 1925-1935. So they're all older than RW 😂 I'm only 25 though so I'm not that old lol. Maybe I'll have to reconsider picking some up at thrift stores whenever I see them

Do it! I love cooking on it. My experience is that if I hear it up enough to get the Leidenfrost effect it’s about as non-stick as Teflon. Also way easier to clean than Teflon, because I can use a metal scrubber if I ever mess up and stick something to the pan.

It also heats up super fast, so only takes a minute to get it to the right temp.

Look up what the pre-1968 brand (stamped on the bottom) looks like. It’s a little thicker and better than the post-1968 pieces. I still love cooking on both though.
