I tried cleaning this pot with ketchup

I always find copper bottom pots at thrift stores! And they can be restored so easily, people should def check there for them

Barkeepers friend is a life saver in so many situations.

I still have my whole set and use them daily! Pots, pan, them! Got them 32 years ago when I got married. They have lasted longer than the marriage!

[janicehales]

I still use my set just like that one daily. It was a wedding present 44 years ago!

That is a model 8701 1-Qt pot. We manufactured them in the late 1960s in the Oneonta, AL plant.

I still have my Revere ware… got it as a housewarming gift when I moved into my first apartment in 1985. Love it!!

My mom and dad received a copper bottom pot for their wedding back in 1945. I still have it to this day 78 years old and still in use.

These pots are legit. I've had the same 3 for my entire life inherited from my mom. Best ever

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!

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.

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!! 😂

[sarajane]

I swear, bar keepers friend is brilliant for like everything.

[shortboss]

I received a set of this as a wedding present and still have the set 40 Yeats later

[solanadotexe]

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 :)

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.

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 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

[hugadale]

These are the best pots! I'm using the ones my mom bought in the 50s!

[christinepizzi]

I still have that same pot. It was mother's bought in the 50s. Well made and will last forever.
