I have an old set of copper bottomed Revere cookware frying pans and kettles. They are all labelled with something like this on the bottom: 1801 REVERE WARE 12 in.-85 CLINTON, ILL. U.S.A.
Is there a possibility that these may be aluminum and not stainless steel.

Lye is the only solution I can find online that removes teflon from cookware. However, lye is reactive to aluminum, and will damage and corrode the metal, if it doesn't just eat it away completely. So does anyone else have any solution that could help me remove the teflon safely without damaging the pan?

I am trying to decide what kind of cookware set to buy. I don't want to spend a lot (no more than 0, at most) and it doesn't have to be the best, but I want a decent set that will last. I am looking at a KitchenAid Gourmet Reserved set for 9.99 (ceramic and aluminum) at amazon but I am clueless about what I really need. I cook often and I have an electric stove. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

I need a new set of cookware, (skillets & cookers). I don't like aluminum and I want something that doesn't have the teflon coating. In your opinion, what's the best for non-stick cooking?

I am planning to buy a 10pc stainless steel cookware.

Here is the description: This set is constructed of stainless steel with a triple-ply capsuled bottom, tempered glass lids, bakelite handles, and standard gage. The triple-ply consists of two stainless steel plates with a thick core of aluminum to conduct heat.

So with a thick core of aluminum will it be better in terms of not burnings easily. This is what I have heard of stainless steel cookware. Also is it easy to clean stainless steel.

Thanks and Regards

I found an aluminum skillet with a hinged lid decorated with oak leaves and acorns. I'm not even sure it's cookware--could be a bedwarmer? Anyway, info or sites appreciated.

I'm considering purchasing a durable cookware set and want the benefits of non-stick cooking but don't want to use teflon. Some options I've looked at are anodized aluminum versus stainless steel or copper bottoms. Any suggestions?

Someone told me that aluminum cookware can ultimately contribute to dementia. That sounds a little extreme and I don't know if it's true (hopefully not because I've been using that kind of cookware since 1990...)

But if you go with an alternative, should it be teflon coated? Old fashioned cast iron cookware? What (if anything) would be a healthier option?
