Just across from me, with her two children was an American girl, Anne. She was married to a young doctor who was doing a year or two in the UK before returning home. When the family were leaving, Anne was selling some of her furnishings, things she did not want to take home to the States.
I got her Revere Ware saucepan. At the time stainless steel was not common: most of my hand-me-down saucepans were in aluminum or I treasured my Revere Ware and it has repaid me by lasting this long. The style is very much like that of the set that you have illustrated. It always seemed to me that someone mother, grandma, aunt? I wonder where Anne is now? Her children would be in their fifties now. I found this article truly fascinating.
I was trying to find when a particular style of Revere Ware pan was made. Although I did not find a specific answer to my question I found myself intently reading the history of this great American Company.
It saddens me to know the quality cookware I grew up with is no longer made and that the log books and Company records which could make for an interesting read and quality reference is not available. Thanks to everyone that contributed to this article! Thanks for all that research! After packing away for a move, they have been unpacked, and thanks to a fresh bottle of Brasso, most have polished up beautifully and cook very well.
So sad. Thank you for such a complete review of RevereWare.. Now Revereware seems to be such a Hodge — Podge mess of cookware. I have about 20 piece of Calphalon commerical cookware, most made in the Usa, but I now have been finding out that Non-stick is not healthy to cook or eat from. Most seem to be immediately post war, one pre war and several too worn to place. So far there has been only one handle failure and one knob failure out of 6 items.
Would not trade them for any other pots! I cannot find this anywhere and wonder what this would be used for. The insert is the exact size of the skillet and is copper bottom.
It does not have the Revere signature on this portion of the pot but it must have been used this way as the skillet looks brand new. I could not find it on your web page. Thanks for doing this! I have a few pieces of the copper-bottom stainless steel pieces with brass handles and still love them, after so many years.
I was wondering what had happened to the company. Sadly, I see that once again great American quality was replaced by cheap Asian imitations, and another great American brand, from Paul Revere himself, died. I truly appreciate the time and effort it took to comprise this article. So the dates for the thinner metal says , does that mean they have gotten even thinner afterwards?
I went over on Amazon and it seems to be so for the pieces that are made overseas. Am most appreciative of your efforts and foresight. Thanx for this lengthy and very informative article about revere ware, then and now. One thing that you might want to incorporate is cleaning these pieces, especially the copper bottoms.
Sometimes it takes some risk and considerable effort, but I have had very good luck. Use oven cleaner spray on bottoms, let sit, scrub with soap pad ie. Brillo, or similar , repeat it necessary. To put on the shine, after cleaning, cover with ketchup…or a mixture of lemon juice and salt. Allow to sit for 15 or 20 minutes, scrub off with Brillo, gently please.
Bottom should shine like new. For really, really dirty pots and pans, cooked on grease, etc. Pans can be soaked briefly in a lye solution, in a stainless steel sink only…. But this is hazardous. Lye really hurts!!! After soaking, scrub as above. Thank you again. Catherine from New Hampshire. Enjoyed reading your history. BUT we just moved to a house with an electric stove- my wonderful old pots are dancing over the surface so I am forced to replace them!
I received 4 pieces of Revere Ware for wedding presents. I love it. My originals are the ones I still use! You are commenting using your WordPress. You are commenting using your Google account.

Hello world! Follow Following. Sign me up. Already have a WordPress. Hard to believe how well they perform. And yeah I guess the new stuff is junk. The positive reviews about vintage Revere Ware just go on and on.
This cookware is historically significant as being the first to introduce the copper bottom pan that is nearly unrivaled in its durability a half a century later. These pots and pans are true workhorses, yet equally stylish as well. Now to answer the most important question of all: Where can you get them? Good ole Amazon. Reliable for unique finds 3. Etsy A good place to purchase other vintage goods as well 5. Last but not least, you can always check your local classifieds!
Just remember to verify that each piece is truly vintage before purchasing. You can find a tutorial on adapting our newer replacement handles to these older pots here. The earliest pans have the Riding Revere stamp on the bottom, soon replaced by the early Revere Ware stamp. This is the most likely type of vintage Revere Ware you will come across, and the most useful as replacement handles are available from us, as opposed to the earlier style.
Being at least over 50 years old, your vintage Revere Ware has probably had quite a life.
