Going back 40 to 50 years, Reverware and Farberware were two of the
biggest selling brands of cookware. We bought Farberware when we got
married in 1966. The pans were pretty crappy, thin, hard to use
properly. They are long gone. The pots, however, are still in good
condition and are used on a regular basis. You don't need fancy
twelve ply exotic metals to heat up a can of soup or boil potatoes.

While I'd never touch the pans again, the pots are good quality and
have held up well for many years now.
