Why Revere Cookware stands apart
For over eight decades, Revere Cookware has been the trusted choice of discerning home chefs across America. Our copper-clad stainless steel construction represents the pinnacle of cookware engineering, combining superior heat conductivity with lasting durability.
Each piece of Revere Cookware features a thick layer of copper electroplated directly onto high-grade stainless steel.

No hot spots, perfectly even cooking, and professional-grade performance in your home kitchen.
The iconic mirror-polished finish not only looks stunning but also resists corrosion and maintains its beauty with minimal care. Our signature Bakelite pistol-grip handles remain cool to the touch even during high-heat cooking, providing safe and comfortable handling that has become synonymous with the Revere name.
The science behind superior cooking
Revere Cookware technology combines centuries of metalworking expertise with modern engineering to deliver cookware that performs flawlessly every time
Copper-clad technology explained
Copper is renowned as one of the best heat conductors available, transferring thermal energy up to 20 times faster than stainless steel alone. However, pure copper cookware requires constant polishing and can react with certain foods. Revere solved this challenge in 1939 with a revolutionary approach.
Our patented electroplating process bonds a thick layer of copper directly to the bottom of premium 18/8 stainless steel. This creates a permanent union that cannot separate or delaminate. The copper layer rapidly absorbs and distributes heat from your stovetop, while the stainless steel interior provides a non-reactive, easy-to-clean cooking surface.
The stainless steel body construction offers additional benefits: it will never rust, maintains its mirror finish with simple cleaning, and is compatible with all stovetop types including gas, electric, and ceramic. This combination of materials creates cookware that truly offers the best of both worlds.
Professional-grade 18/8 stainless steel (18% chromium, 8% nickel) provides superior corrosion resistance and durability
High-purity copper electroplated in thick layers ensures maximum heat conductivity and even temperature distribution
Handles are oven-safe up to 350°F (175°C), allowing you to start on stovetop and finish in the oven

A legacy forged in American excellence
Revere Cookware traces its industrial roots back to legendary American patriot Paul Revere, who founded the Revere Copper Company in Canton, Massachusetts in 1801. For over a century, the company specialized in copper rolling and brass manufacturing. Our revolutionary cookware line was officially introduced in 1939 by Revere Copper and Brass Inc., forever changing home cooking in America.
The introduction of copper-clad stainless steel cookware was a breakthrough moment in kitchen technology. By combining the superior heat conductivity of copper with the durability and ease of maintenance of stainless steel, Revere created cookware that was both highly functional and accessible to American families. The distinctive mirror finish and ergonomic Bakelite handles quickly became design icons.
For decades, Revere Cookware has been synonymous with quality domestic life and American craftsmanship. At our peak in the mid-20th century, a set of Revere Ware was a standard wedding gift and an essential possession for new homeowners. Today, vintage Revere pieces are prized by collectors, while new generations continue to discover why this cookware has earned a permanent place in the hearts and kitchens of American families.

Care for your Revere Cookware investment
With proper care, your Revere Cookware will last for generations, becoming a treasured heirloom passed down through your family. Follow these simple guidelines to keep your cookware performing and looking its best
Copper Bottom Care
The copper bottom naturally develops a patina over time. To restore the original shine, make a paste of lemon juice and salt, rub gently on the copper, and watch tarnish disappear instantly. Alternatively, use Bar Keepers Friend or a specialized copper cleaner for quick results.
Pro tip: Some cooks prefer the aged patina look as it indicates well-loved, well-used cookware.
Stainless Steel Care
For daily cleaning, use warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge. For stuck-on food, soak in warm water first, then use a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Avoid steel wool or harsh abrasives on the mirror-polished exterior. For stubborn stains, make a paste of baking soda and water.
The smooth, rivet-free interior makes cleanup remarkably easy.
Bakelite Handle Care
NEVER put Bakelite handles in the dishwasher - the high heat and harsh detergents can damage them. Hand wash only with mild soap and water. If handles look dry or faded, rub with a small amount of mineral oil on a soft cloth to restore their rich black luster and protect the material.
Original Bakelite handles are collectible for their vintage appeal and ergonomic design.
Safety Guidelines
While Bakelite handles stay cool on stovetops, they should not be exposed to oven temperatures above 350°F (175°C). When using gas stoves, ensure flames do not extend up the sides and touch the handles. Always use oven mitts when retrieving cookware from the oven.
For high-heat oven cooking, consider our all-metal handle collections.
Why copper-clad cookware outperforms the competition
Not all cookware is created equal. Discover why Revere Cookware copper-clad technology delivers superior results compared to standard stainless steel and aluminum alternatives
Revere Copper-Clad vs Standard Stainless Steel
Standard stainless steel has poor heat conductivity, leading to hot spots and uneven cooking. Revere copper-clad bottoms distribute heat 20x faster, ensuring perfectly even results every time.
Revere vs Pure Aluminum Cookware
Aluminum heats quickly but reacts with acidic foods and can warp. Revere combines copper heat conductivity with stainless steel non-reactivity and durability for the best of both worlds.
Revere vs Non-Stick Coated Pans
Non-stick coatings degrade over time and have temperature limitations. Revere stainless steel lasts a lifetime, is dishwasher safe, and can handle high-heat cooking techniques like searing and browning.
Long-Term Value Investment
While copper-clad cookware costs more upfront, it lasts for generations. Cheaper alternatives need frequent replacement, making Revere the more economical choice over time.

Frequently asked questions about Revere Cookware
Get answers to the most common questions about our copper-clad cookware
Is Revere Cookware safe to use?
Yes, Revere Cookware is completely safe. The 18/8 stainless steel interior is non-reactive and won't leach chemicals into your food. The copper is on the exterior only, providing heat conductivity without food contact. Bakelite handles are heat-resistant and stay cool during cooking.
Can I put Revere Cookware in the dishwasher?
The stainless steel and copper portions are technically dishwasher safe, but we strongly recommend hand washing to protect the Bakelite handles. High dishwasher heat can damage the handles over time. Hand washing with mild soap and water takes just minutes and keeps your cookware in pristine condition.
How do I remove tarnish from the copper bottom?
Mix equal parts lemon juice and salt to create a paste. Rub it onto the copper bottom with a soft cloth, let sit for 1-2 minutes, then rinse and dry. The tarnish will disappear instantly. For stubborn tarnish, use Bar Keepers Friend or a commercial copper cleaner. Many users prefer the natural patina that develops over time.
What's the difference between vintage and new Revere Cookware?
Vintage Revere pieces from the 1940s-1980s are highly collectible and many are still functional. New Revere Cookware maintains the same copper-clad technology and classic design while incorporating modern manufacturing standards. Both vintage and new pieces feature the iconic copper bottom and Bakelite handles that made Revere famous.
Can I use Revere Cookware on an induction cooktop?
Traditional Revere copper-clad cookware may not work on induction cooktops because copper and stainless steel aren't magnetic. However, some newer Revere collections are designed with induction-compatible bases. Check the product specifications or use a magnet test - if a magnet sticks to the bottom, it will work on induction.
Where can I buy replacement handles and parts?
Replacement handles, knobs, and screws are available through Amazon and eBay. We also have a comprehensive Maintenance Support guide with sizing information and compatibility charts to help you find the right parts for your cookware.
