I don't know why (maybe just made so well?) but just wanted to add that I use mine from the 80's, a wedding present from my parents. One of the pots has gotten a tad bit warped on the bottom, not sure why, it's the large sauce pan that I use all the time so maybe I've warn it out? HA! You can find it everywhere at flea markets and garage sales. Someone had a whole set of it for $5! Such a steal! They must have thought it was just some trash but it's a treasure for sure!

I still use my Revereware and Farberware from the 70's. Love them.

I love my Revereware, although I use a variety of pots and pans from other manufacturers too! Got the Revereware from my mom, who used them first. She got some Farberware to replace the Revereware she gave me when I moved out.

I have 2 Revere Ware sauce pans that were a wedding gift in 1957.
They have out worn all sorts of stuff....Currently I am ;looking for some vintage ones to replace some 20 year old Farber ware crap....with handles that are constantly loose.

I also have some old copper bottomed RevereWare, from back when it was really good stuff. My mother bought me one piece at a time for birthdays and Christmas gifts, and I still have most of it, although Ashley has managed to "lose" the big frying pan and a small saucepan by taking them to other homes and not retrieving them. I ought to go make her get them back, I still really like the stuff.

My mother loved copper and I suppose that is why I started and still use RevereWare. I can't say that my cleaning experience is always as easy as Johnc's, but since it is stainless, it will clean up with more agressive methods without damage. BTW, I used to use copper polish on the bottoms, but have found that the dishwasher does a pretty good job on its own.

I have some of my mom's Revere Ware as well, and, to me, the stainless steel seems much more smooth than Farberware and doesn't cause foods to stick. Mine are also easy to clean and I use vinegar and salt to clean the copper.

My sister uses some pieces of my mom's revere ware from the 70's or earlier. I also have a set from the 80's. They clean up very nicely. I also have various other pieces of other sets but prefer the Revere ware.

I have the large frying (or sauté) pan with lid, and I do not know how I acquired it, but I know it is from the 80s if not older. The bottom is slightly warped with a slight bulge in the middle, and so I bought an All-Clad 12" pan to replace it, but I have kept both. I prefer the All-Clad, but mainly because the bottom is flat! They are both good at distributing heat evenly.

I thought I got the Revereware from Kevin, but he said it was not his, and Bernard also says that it was not his. I know for sure that I never bought it or received it as a gift. Maybe Ashley left it at my house, in which case Annie should come and retrieve it!!

Lars, why don't you take that big pan to work and put it in a big wood clamp or vice, perhaps between a couple pieces of hardwood, and flatten that pan out.

I still use my Revere Ware from the 60s and also use many Guardian Service pots purchased by my mother, I imagine in the late 40s. They all clean up very easy. I always think I will buy some newer cookware but never have although we have about every other kitchen gadget there is.

I noticed that when I got a ceramic top stove the Revere pans were warped and didn't fit flat on the burner. Never noticed that with a regular stove. So I donated them to a white elephant sale.

My mother had these and I recall the cleanup was pretty OK. I've found All-Clad to be more difficult to clean than other brands of stainless-steel lined cookware. I know Demeyere does a surface treatment to the stainless steel that makes their finish less prone to sticking. Perhaps RevereWare had some sort of similar finish or polishing step.

I still have 3 sauce pans, from my wedding in 1957. One does have a little dimple on the bottom, but I still reach for them once in a while.

I have my Revere Ware from 1953. I use them every day as well as other pans I have collected over the years. I don't wash my pans by hand any more, they get run through the dishwasher and they clean up really nicely. The copper cleans up really well.

I bought my stainless steel clad Revere Ware with Green Stamps in the early '60s. Then many years later, we bought a small copper bottom set for our winter home. I use both sets all the time now that we are in just one house.

My mother also had Revereware and I know it wasn't as difficult to clean up as my recent experience with AllClad-type pans. Earlier this month I was a houseguest at a friend's home who had Kirkland's version of AllClad. Each morning the eggs stuck like glue to the pan, despite using butter to grease it. It reminded me of my AllClad egg skillet that I donated a long while ago for just the same reason. No thanks-- give me my LeCreuset nonstick skillet for eggs.

I really don't expect that anyone monitors these 6- and 7-year-old comments, I have a set of 6 various size pots and a couple of skillets, along with their lids. These were passed on to me several years ago when my mother passed away. They, in turn, were given to her by her mother-in-law in the early '50's. Living alone (74 years old), I use only a couple of the pots, but out of sentimental value, I wouldn't part with them for anything. Every time I use them, I'm reminded of my mother and grandmother. Some things are priceless.

I also have copper-bottom Revereware from my mother. i really didnt use them much because i needed bigger. Now they are perfect and i use them all the time AND i think of my Mom when using them 😊

I have several revere ware copper bottom cookware from the 1940s we inherited from a relative. They are in great condition and ive been married 50 years.
