Revere Cookware - Value Line Revere Ware Cookware
Today's Revere cookware is technically far superior to the Revere Ware cookware of your childhood. You won't see the copper bottoms that tied RevereWare historically to Paul Revere, cookware that was revolutionary in its day.

Current Revere cookware lines consist of two lines that offer the same feature set, according to the company website. The Convenience Line has see-through lids and the Traditions line has solid metal lids.
Revere cookware has a stainless steel body with an encapsulated aluminum heat distribution disk in the base. All Revere cookware lines have a nonstick coating that withstands normal use with metal utensils. Glass lids on the Revere ware Convenience line have steam vents and pour spouts. Handles are welded on and have soft grips. All pieces are dishwasher-safe.
Don't look for copper bottoms on Revere cookware. The company Paul Revere started, now called Revere Copper Products, Inc., has been out of the cookware business since 1988, when Corning Glass Works bought the line. Now the cookware is made by World Kitchens (see Corning cookware and Magnalite cookware).
The copper-bottom Revere cookware stainless steel line that Revere introduced in 1939 was as revolutionary as its namesake, a vast improvement from the housewife's point of view over what had preceded it. But technically it wasn't really a good tool for serious cooks, and its demise, while it marked the end of an era, was the result of more recent design advances. Farberware's Copper Traditions line captures the look of the old Revere Ware, but it adds an aluminum heating disk in the base, to make a modern pan.
Revere cookware is available at discount department stores and hardware stores.
