Copper Bottomed Revere Cookware: Stainless Steel or Aluminum?

Question

I have an old set of copper bottomed Revere cookware frying pans and kettles. They are all labelled with something like this on the bottom: 1801 REVERE WARE 12 in.-85 CLINTON, ILL. U.S.A.
Is there a possibility that these may be aluminum and not stainless steel.

Answer 1

Revere Ware was never made of Aluminum ever. They have only been made of Copper Clad Stainless Steel since their inception and beginning of production in1952.

NOTE* See if a magnet sticks (it will) indicating steel........

They are stainless steel. But they aren't very good. They use a thin gauge of steel, and a light coat of copper plating. Foods burn easily. You're better off getting a heavy gauge set of stainless with bonded layers of copper or aluminum on the bottom.

Answer 4

They are stainless. Aluminum will be very dull inside and can be scratched easily. Use the tip of a knife or other pointed steel object. Scrape inside the pot. Aluminum will actually come off as a sliver of metal, steel will barely scratch.

Revere Ware

Answer 6

MINE ARE STAINLESS STEEL AND ARE FIFTY YEARE OLD. I HAVE NEVER HERD OF THEM BEING MADE OUT OF ALUMINUM. I FIND THAT THEY WORK VERY WELL. THE MAIN THING TO REMEMBER IS TO KEEP THE HEAT A LITTLE LOWER THAN NORMAL. TO CLEAN THE COPPER BOTTOM JUST WIPE A SMALL COAT OF CATSUP ON IT AND WAIT ONE MINUTE THEN WASH OFF.
