Copper looks good at first; does it have a lid?
The user ratings seem pretty good.
I like multil-layer construction in pans with stainless /aluminum/stainless or the same with a copper outer layer.
Copper outer layers tend to need more work/upkeep/polishing, to keep them looking good.
I expect that I would opt for stainless handles.
I avoid single layer stainless pans as they do not spread the heat as well, resulting in over done spots.
I inherited my aluminum roaster; worked well for Grandma, still works well for me.
Mine is not as spotless as the pic...
Enjoy!

I have a mix of copper and stainless cookware, and used to enjoy polishing the copper, but it's funny how age changes ones enthusiasm in that department.
That's a beautiful roaster you have!
The old saying... "they don't make them like that anymore", sure rings true in relation to your roasting pot.
Well, Wc, I decided on the stainless version with bronze handles.
I like the idea of not having to polish copper, and stainless always looks nice.
I bought one of these from Amazon about 2 years ago; it was HUGE! I never found use for it being that it is just the hubs and I ... so, I sold it for what I paid ~ on FB Marketplace.Copper looks good at first; does it have a lid?

Me too.
Plus I hate maintaining copper and brass.
I have stainless everything. But that's just me.
I must admit, I like stainless, too, Pam.
One big turnoff for me regarding the copper version, I came across a few pictures of used ones, and they looked dirty, whereas stainless tends to never look that way.
That's right. But, we all have our preferences, I suppose.

That looks exactly like club aluminum which my mom had and I inherited. Loved that stuff.Copper looks good at first; does it have a lid?

All stainless, Marg. Easiest to clean. Trust me.Stainless with stainless handles?
Stainless with bronze handles?

Yes, I'm ordering one.
Would love to hear your Pros/Cons related to copper over stainless.
After a lot of research on aluminum I threw away all my aluminum cookware years ago.
I use only stainless, and my cast iron frypans of course.
I agree, Lew, all of the stainless cookware I have still looks brand spanking new, and while my copper pieces look dashing when polished, it's a lot of work, however it never lasts long. One or two uses and the copper is back looking like it did prior to polishing.
I sort of had an idea what I was going for when I posted the thread topic, but as with so many things homemaking, I always appreciate hearing from others here.
It's a big purchase for me so I'm glad I settled on the stainless.

I like the others, especially the brass, but just for show.

That's exactly what I'm thinking now that I've had a chance to really think things over.

I'm with you on choosing the full pan, Lakeland!
I had a collection of aluminum-ware in the 80's when dear husband and I were starting out, but was gifted with a nice stainless set shortly after and that was the end of the aluminum days in our house.
