Rachael Ray Cookware

I finally broke and bought a new pot. Can I use my mother's pots for years (Nice, in his time, the garbage in my time). I received my plate right before going on vacation and could only manage to make some green beans that came out excellent! What a shock when the window came and it was like a small coffin! Box took two people to bring into the house, cooking utensils, but not very large. I hope Amazon decides to open the package in a more environmentally friendly. Yet, as the pot.
