I am sooooooooooooooo jealous. I got a 16 quart Revereware stock pot
as a "group" gift for my 40th birthday. Sweet soul that I am, I
loaned it to an immigrant family just arrived from Russia so the
Bubbie could make soup. (Boy, could she make soup!) Unfortunately,
she tought it was a gift. What else could I do?

Sigh,

I grew up with the copper-bottom Revere pots and pans at my Mom's
house. but when it came to making stocks and other long-cooked
things, I found a heavier bottomed pot worked better. Now I have a 16
quart aluminum professional pot from the restaurant supply store for
stocks. Love 'em.

I love my old Revereware. Too bad the new stuff isn't as good.
Also, I can't use it on my induction burners. And the ones that
are not totally flat anymore aren't great on flat-top ranges.
