Great even cooking ceramic so no bad non stick chemicals and lightweight.

I had to stop using my Fiesta dinnerware and Le Creuset because they became  too heavy with my arthritis. 

I hate the Corelle dinnerware I have but it's lightweight and functional.

I now use tri-ply Cuisinart and a couple of my Revereware pans that I bought back in the 1980s. IMO, they are better than All-Clad and other brands I've tried.

@AuntMame  I too have Faberware for more years than I would like to admit. Perfect condition. If a handle comes loose tighten the screw

Grab some red Loctite from the auto department in a store (or an online store like Amazon) and apply it to the screw threads before tightening the screw, and that screw won't come loose again. Loctite will lock it in place forever.

@drizzellla  I currently have Revereware.  It has been with me 43 years.  I like the use it has given me but I will now transition to a more lightweight set.  I only need to cook for 1 person now.  I have nice memories of my Revereware.

Revereware is light even with a copper bottom.  Is the issue needing a set of smaller size?  Could do that.

Excellent tip @gardenman ! Do you have a specific type of Loctite you would recommend for pot handles? I see that Loctite no longer manufactures their food grade Loctite. I am concerned about the handles being near heat and food. 

Getting tired of screwing the handles back onto all my old Farberware every darn week. But everytime I google for advice I don't come up with any good solutions. Though the Loctite sounds like it would work if it is safe near heat and food.

Loctite is used for bolts on auto engines, which get pretty darn hot. To loosen the Loctite you typically have to heat the screw to 500 degrees. It's a very strong way to lock a bolt or screw into place. As to food safe, the screws are typically on the outside of the pan, and most people cook on the inside of the pan. It's very unlikely that it would ever come into contact with food. It fully cures in about 24 hours. Once cured, there are no vapors, or outgassing to worry about. You just want to be sure you don't ever want to take the handle off again. Once it's on the screw, that screw isn't moving without a fight.

@Still Raining  I have the top of the line Revereware.  It was only made about two years.  Not the Revereware you are referring to.

Thanks @gardenman . I'm going to give that a try.

I'm 72 and haven't become feeble yet. I got a full set of Hexclad and absolutely obsessed with them!

I bought some Made-In pots and pans when we remodeled the kitchen. Some stainless steel and some non-stick. DH uses their griddle on his grill all the time. 

I have some older cookware pieces I have been using for years.
