Reverware and Farberware pots are good, but the fry pans are inferior. We
stopped using our pans 25 years ago. The multi-ply pans are far better, as
is cast iron or copper. I love my Falk copper pans.

I used our food processor last Sunday, but I don't recall the last time I
used it before that. It has been months, maybe more. If it ever dies, I'd
not bother replacing it. The time saved to chop is lost three times over in
the cleanup.
