I didn't know I had that...

As I said in my last post, I am in the process of moving. I need to be out of here by noon on Friday. As a result of that, I am heavily engaged in packing. And, while packing, I found something interesting amidst the cookware I inherited from my grandmother.

A "copper-clad", stainless steel pot.... "Revere Ware". From what I can tell the copper involved appears to be entirely on the outside, where the pot meets the burner, and does not touch the food being prepared.

I'm somewhat excited about this, since I had thought all the pots I inherited from her were aluminum, and indeed many of them were. Due to the obvious health risks associated with aluminum, I'm eliminating many of those at this time. But the stainless steel one I will definitely be keeping. Over time, I'd like to completely transition away from aluminum and teflon ("non-stick") cookware, but I'm realistic enough about the cost of doing so not to attempt that all at once. If I replace them bit by bit, I'm sure it won't be that long before I have a more healthy set of cookware to use.

Just thought I'd share that. :)
