I have those pieces and love them.  I also have Caraway cookware.  I think they both perform equally as well.  Nothing sticks, and they are both oven safe.  They are much lighter than my Le Creuset pieces.  Clean up is a breeze.  Just remember not to use metal utensils with them.

@Nonametoday  This cookware is coated with many layers of ceramic, both outside and inside, so that the food does not contact the aluminum.  Just like LeCreuset is coated with enamel, so the food does not contact the cast iron it is made of.  You are at more risk cooking in stainless steel that some alloy in that steel might leach into your food than you would be using the Our Place cookware, where there is fired ceramic between the metal and your food.

 

Also, there are no studies that prove that aluminum "causes" either Parkinson's Disease or Alzheimer's Disease.  Those neurological diseases are incredibly complex and may well have significant genetic components we don't yet recognize, as well as environmental causes and triggers.  It may be years or even decades before we can pin down true causes enough for either condition to even hope to prevent some cases, let alone all of them, or ever hope to cure them once symptoms start.

I did a paper on aluminum and Parkinson's in the 1990s.  That is why I asked if it had changed. My references were NIH, National Library of Medicine, Mayo, Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins.  In order to keep my state certification I was required to do x amount of papers per year.  I distinctly recall that as my mother had Parkinson's at the time and was interested in it. My daughter uses LeCreuset and I had some a few years ago. I can no longer lift it so I gave it to her.  I am interested in obtaining a fry pan for scrambling or cooking overlight eggs for DH.  Those are things on his diet that he can have but not in excess.  So, I was looking for a fry pan that was safe for him.  He had 2 brothers with Parkinson's and one with Lou Gehrig's and he has a familial tremor as does his twin sister.  So I am very protective about the cookware and dishes we use.

 

I know that studies change over time and science is not a "true" science as physics is not as science can change and that was why I asked, if that had changed, that aluminum is no longer felt to be a contributor to neurogenerative disease.

I like the color but I never buy anything that has handles that get hot.

My daughter will be moving into an apartment.  I plan on getting the "frying pan" style one for her.  I like the functionality.  I don't think she needs a set or a lot of different pots and pans.

Nice looking.  I am blessed that I purchased my Revere Ware 40 years ago when it was made in the USA.  Stainless steel indestructable.  It will outlive me.

@Puzzle Piece   I still use Revere Ware too.  I bought it for my hope chest when I was in high school.  I have been married almost 52 years, so mine is old.

 

I have some with copper bottoms and some with SS bottoms.

 

I have so much cookware, I could open a store.  But I am hard on cookware, so most of it doesn't last as long as the Revere Ware.

 

I have some huge Revere stock pots that could hold a small child and still close the lid.
