I use stainless steel, the new ceramic non-stick and corning ware (mine is the old stuff that works on the stove, oven and microwave). I had revere ware but got tired of polishing/cleaning the copper so I bought the stainless steel set from Costco when All Clad made the Kirkland brand. Have used them for (oh my) 20+ years. I also have one Calphon small soup pan that I also use a lot. I have been getting rid of the pieces that I don't use any more and replacing some of the small Corning ware pieces that I used before kids and gave DD.
