@@deadlyshroomsI had rust stains in my shower (from paint came stored there while renovating), tried CLR repeatedly, didn't work. Thirty seconds with BKF, as good as new!
I still have my whole set and use them daily! Pots, pan, lids.....love them! Got them 32 years ago when I got married. They have lasted longer than the marriage!
My mom got divorced from her first husband back in the 80s, she bought herself this exact pot set as her first set after leaving all of her cookware with her ex-husband. I took her last piece when I moved out in 2020. I love these copper bottom revereware pots, the size up from this is my dedicated mashed potatoes pot since it's the perfect size to make for the family.
I grew up with these in constant use in the kitchen, and they're still great. I knew what you were looking at before you even picked it up off of the shelf!! 😂
The old saying “they don’t make ‘‘em like they used to” is sadly very true. Things now are made to purposely not last as long and to fail. Look up the longest working light bulb. They used to be made to never go out. Now you gotta replace them.
Is RevereWare the ones where Ron Popiel would beat the round out of other brands of pans? Or am I conflating a bunch of different late-night commercials from my childhood together?
BKF powder is amazing. The pre-mixed liquid is weak garbage. But we trust it for just about everything. It is an acid though, so it's not right for some things.
I have these from my husbands grandparents. Be careful with barkeepers because it does scratch and the tarnish comes back very quickly - it was my first mistake cleaning the pots. But because they were old they already had LOTS of scratches already so no big deal. After the initial clean, use a tarnish cream for copper to make it shine instead of scrubbing it with barkeepers every time. 👍🏻
My grandma gave me her Revereware as a gift when I bought my home last year. She got it as a wedding present in the early 1950s. It’s still in great shape. I cook on it every night. Another example of not making it like they used to. Excellent cookware!
My mom gave me a full set of Revere ware when I got married in 1983. Including roasting pan with lid. We still use it all every day. My favorite cookware still. Don't understand why they stopped making it.
I only have the little sauce pan from my Mother. I use warm water sprinkle salt let it sit spray White vinegar and wipe clean. If anything still needs cleaning I just repeat. Works Great!😊
Yep, me too! I have a couple just like these I commandeered from my mom about 35 years ago. I would love to get a whole set, but it’s harder to find the older ones made in the US.
@@DanaTS they clean super easy too. I'm going to be on the lookout for these from now on. I've got a butcher's knife from my mom I wish I had a backup for too but the brand name is too faded. They just don't make anything like they used to. Cast iron is the only other reliable cookware I can depend on.
Congrats! All I use is cast iron and RevereWare. The 40s-50s’ pots and pans usually have Bakelite handles. Don’t put them in dishwashers. According to the website, modern dishwashers run too hot, and eventually ruin the Bakelite finish. Of course if the pan has dulled handles already, no harm no foul. Enjoy.
@@rooknado It looks like black plastic, but it has a much higher melting point than typical plastic handles (70s /80s). Doesn't mean it won't melt and crack though. Modern silicon is way better.
When my grandmother would babysit us kids, she’d end up always polishing our copper bottomed pots with tarnish cleaner. Brought them back to their original sparkle! What a great memory!
I grew up with one of these pots, and we still have it in the cupboard. I had no idea they were so sought after!! It’s a great pot though so I can’t be too surprised :)
When I got my first apartment, I had nothing. This sweet neighbor gave me some random cookware and dishes. After 12 years, I just realizing she gave me a revere ware copper bottom pot, and I still have it and use it.
I’ve always had copper bottom pots. Vinegar and salt creates an instant chemical reaction on the copper. You’d still need to scrub if you had any actual burnt on deposits. But just sprinkling some salt and vinegar on it was like actual instant magic.
Scotch-brite and dawn. Honestly I’ve just used the scrubby pad and water and it works. Copper gets dirty just from exposure to air so as long as you scrub with each cleaning and towel dry it should stay pretty
The easiest way to clean copper bottom pots Grandma taught me was to pour some salt on the bottom and then pour vinegar instantly Bang it deoxidize s instantly
@@virginiareilly8813 the good old salt and vinegar, she for fure is a woman of culture Did you actually mean "instantly bang it", on the floor or counter ? 😅
I have multiple Revere Ware copper pots/pans (even the egg poaching set) that were my grandma's. These are my favorite even over my 'modern' pots and pans. The best thing is that even after so many years they're still holding up very well
I have an entire set of Revereware that we received as a wedding present in 1990. I use them daily, and it cracks me up to hear them referred to as vintage 😂
@@kaboomsihal1164 Because my mother had them, and my aunt, and my grandma. Now we no longer speak because of some pretty awful abuse, but it's a nice way to remember good times with my family instead of bad ones.

It's hilarious to me that you think a boring millennial making a benign comment about something I do for myself, and the six little pots I've collected at secondhand stores, is somehow an invitation for an asshole to appear. Surprise! Existing online isn't an invitation for you to show up and shit on people. You must be having a really awful time though. I hope someday you become a kinder person. Until then, fucking chill. I won't respond again. Cry harder and have an absolutely great day. 💜
@@kaboomsihal1164why not collect pots? People collect all kinds of useless plastic crap and no one bats an eye. Pots are useful, sturdy, and long wearing. If i had the money I'd collect pots too. I love to cook.
I grew up with my mom and grandma using these. Have several handmedowns and didnt know they were even sought after. Neat! Never giving mine up though, too many memories and generational nostalgia.
I just picked up a bunch from an estate sale! Blew my mind how much cheaper they were there than on eBay (or the local thrift store that looks stuff up on eBay to price it). So grateful to the estate sale company and they people that sold them, I really needed new pots and pans and couldn't afford new ones.
Our local thrift stores price them fairly low. Anytime I see one, I grab it. Have at least 50, I give some to family and keep at least 4 of every size for me.
I donated about 40 pieces of Revereware. My Mama's & my Big Mama's sets were in the house I grew up in. I spent many a Saturday cleaning the copper bottoms with tomato sauce. The key was to leave it on for minimum of 15 to 30 minutes - until it dried. We always had Revereware growing up. The only pieces I saved are the 2 'butter melters,' about 4 ounce size. If I could still cook I would have kept a set. They were excellent pots & pans, with lids. Modern cookware is nothing by comparison. Ours were from the Oneonta, Alabama location bought by my Dad (a traveling salesman) back in the late 1950s & 1960. He bought the piece one at a time for each of kitchens. (They were expensive back then.)
Hey thanks buddy, I have the same exact pots and pans that my step dad gave me when I moved out at 18. I'm 49 today and I still have them, consider getting rid of them many times throughout the years, I'm glad I kept them!
Still have Revere Ware and love them just as much as my All Clad's and Le Cruset Pots. By the way, lemon and salt works WAY better than ketchup, but barkeeper's friend does an awesome job!
My mother in law gave me a Revere ware 4 1/2qt saucepan with the iconic copper bottom and the lemon/salt combo is brilliant! I’m in South Africa so treasure my American pot!
If you make a paste out of barkeepers friend and let it sit for a few minutes on the copper, it will sort of bleach away the stains. That way you will have less aggressive marks that look like you used sandpaper. Barkeepers friend is the best!
WARNING: If you let a copper pan burn dry on a glass-top stove, the copper will migrate into the glass and you will have a mark that does not polish out. It may SLOWLY diminish over time.
This is good to know! I've been wondering how a mark got on one of my burners... I'm thinking teenage son+ramen+not paying attention= the mystery mark! Thx!
I have two the exact same Revere Ware set of pots inherited from both my Grandmother and Mother. These pots have been in non stop use at least since the 1940's or 50's... they will outlast me for sure.
A welder I know was uses something called Flitz brass and copper tarnish remover for his electrodes. Stuff is amazing. Tarnish wipes right off no scrubbing.
I found one of these too (except the top. No top 😢....sometimes at night, the pot cries out for its other half. It weeps...and it kills me)! In my NYC appartment complex that's were. You would NOT believe what ppl toss out. I've found literal gold too (those were unintended throwaways clearly or very small). I love my Revere pot very much! The quality is so good. Only thing...you've gotta get over the 'looks' when you go 'shopping' in someone's discards.😉...I smile, and sometimes will act like I threw out something I didn't meant to and now I'm searching for it.
I bought a pot in the thrift store , looks like new , but it didn’t serve long , the bottom start sticky & I couldn’t use it farther, just throw it in trash.
@@nadiademarre8054 I’ve had that happen a few times over the years. Thankfully it was cheap enough that I could replace it with another one and throw the junk one in the scrap pile.
I have had my Revere Ware pots and pans for 50 years. Have cooked for a family of 5 and they are still hanging in. Every once in a while I have to tighten the screw on the handles.
Always love a good Restauration 👍 Great thing you spread it because not many people seem to know what treasures they have within their 4 walls or at grandma's house with "just a little polish"
I use it on my stainless steel kitchen sink all the time. I needed to have plumbers coming in to detach the sink so I could get new countertops. The guy said, "oh, new sink.... You should just have waited to install it until after the countertops went in." I replied... That sink is nearly ten years old (and I use it a lot).
I still use almost daily the set that belonged to my grandparents (the set is around 60 years old). My grandfather also worked in the factory for a time when it was in Rome, NY.
These are the best pots. I also got a small set of them at a resale shop. These & my atlas pasta maker are some of the best most useful things Ive found.My kids want me to leave them to them, down the road. Memories of homemade soup. Are Memories for a lifetime. 💙😸✌
My mom received two sets for her wedding in 1988. She still uses one set and she gave me the second, unused set when I got married in 2018. I love how well they hold up!
Do you mind if I ask 😅 how she did the squash ? Do you mean like boiling it in water or was there some nice recipe to it 🙂 i love squash and sweet potatoes, but I tend to only do them in the oven and would love to know more cooking alternatives for them ❤
Really nice. I inherited a half dozen revere ware pots from my grandmother. Looked just like that when I got them. Used a bit of Wenol metal polish and now they look good as new. :)
I always find copper bottom pots at thrift stores! And they can be restored so easily, people should def check there for them
Are there specific good brands to look out for?
Yeah like the other comment said, is there any good brand to keep an eye out for? Want one to use.

I have my moms set from the 60's and recently found a larger sauce pan to add at Goodwill. I was so excited!
I could have told you as soon as I saw the handle. I used to make those handles just for Revere. We also made Mirro pan handles.
I have mine from my wedding in 1985. Still using them.
I got my set of copper bottom Revere ware about 1985 and still use them daily.
Revere pots are the best. I bought my set in the 1980's and still have it and it still looks like new.
Those were my first pots and still my favorite.
I have two the exact same Revere Ware set of pots inherited from both my Grandmother and Mother. These pots have been in non stop use at least since the 1940's or 50's... they will outlast me for sure.
A welder I know was uses something called Flitz brass and copper tarnish remover for his electrodes. Stuff is amazing. Tarnish wipes right off no scrubbing.
I have the same one. Best pot I’ve ever owned. Super easy to clean too!!
I’m definitely getting some bar keepers friend for my copper kitchen sink then. Can’t wait to try it. Thanks!
I found one of these too (except the top. No top 😢....sometimes at night, the pot cries out for its other half. It weeps...and it kills me)! In my NYC appartment complex that's were. You would NOT believe what ppl toss out. I've found literal gold too (those were unintended throwaways clearly or very small). I love my Revere pot very much! The quality is so good. Only thing...you've gotta get over the 'looks' when you go 'shopping' in someone's discards.😉...I smile, and sometimes will act like I threw out something I didn't meant to and now I'm searching for it.
Goodwill is definitely my favorite place to get pots and pans. I’ve found several high dollar sets for cheap as can be.
I bought a pot in the thrift store , looks like new , but it didn’t serve long , the bottom start sticky & I couldn’t use it farther, just throw it in trash.
@@nadiademarre8054 I’ve had that happen a few times over the years. Thankfully it was cheap enough that I could replace it with another one and throw the junk one in the scrap pile.
I have had my Revere Ware pots and pans for 50 years. Have cooked for a family of 5 and they are still hanging in. Every once in a while I have to tighten the screw on the handles.
Always love a good Restauration 👍
Great thing you spread it because not many people seem to know what treasures they have within their 4 walls or at grandma's house with "just a little polish"
Some of the best cook ware ever made!!
My wife and I inherited a full set from her grandparents. They're fantastic pots and pans and we refuse to sell lol
Childhood memories came straight back. That pot is where I learned how to cook everything.
I hate several of those pots. They are so vintage but they are the best!
Whoa.. I’m pretty sure I grew up using an entire set of these. Unlocked a memory here.. I bet my dad has all of them still
Barkeeper's Friend is actual magic. My favorite cleaner.
I use it on my stainless steel kitchen sink all the time. I needed to have plumbers coming in to detach the sink so I could get new countertops. The guy said, "oh, new sink.... You should just have waited to install it until after the countertops went in." I replied... That sink is nearly ten years old (and I use it a lot).
Can you tell exact which on as I am willing to buy it from Amazon
I have these pots. I have collected them over years from the thrift store. Best pots ever☀️
Great find!! Great cleanup!
There is so much cooking ware at the thrift store, I love it! I bought a food processor for less than $10.00 and it works like a charm!
I have some exactly like this one. They were my mother’s ❤
I still use almost daily the set that belonged to my grandparents (the set is around 60 years old). My grandfather also worked in the factory for a time when it was in Rome, NY.
These are the best pots. I also got a small set of them at a resale shop. These & my atlas pasta maker are some of the best most useful things Ive found.My kids want me to leave them to them, down the road. Memories of homemade soup. Are Memories for a lifetime. 💙😸✌
My mom received two sets for her wedding in 1988. She still uses one set and she gave me the second, unused set when I got married in 2018. I love how well they hold up!
I have one of these from my grandmom ❤️ she cooked the best squash in it and now it’s the perfect rice pot for me 🥰
Do you mind if I ask 😅 how she did the squash ? Do you mean like boiling it in water or was there some nice recipe to it 🙂 i love squash and sweet potatoes, but I tend to only do them in the oven and would love to know more cooking alternatives for them ❤
You can use a big block pencil eraser too.. my mom used to use them on her old cooper tea pots that she kept in the china cabinet.
This deserves more views!
Really nice. I inherited a half dozen revere ware pots from my grandmother. Looked just like that when I got them. Used a bit of Wenol metal polish and now they look good as new. :)
