I'll be darned if I can find a problem with Revere cookware. I bought
my first set before I was 21. My mother had a set she got as a wedding
present in 1951. I inherited that so now I have two sets. Works
perfectly well for me. I don't know if the OP is talking about
non-stick. I've bought several pieces of non-stick cookware over the
years but never heard of Breville. Never thought much about "impact
bonded" cookware. Sounds like something touted on an Infomercial.
