As a child I can clearly recall my mom using the familiar copper bottom cookware and I have high hopes that my daughter will be able to get as much use and enjoyment out of a nice Revere Ware set as I do. She’ll probably get a set when she goes away for college. 🙂
That exactly why we started making parts and providing manuals and information, so that future generations can continue to use the great old cookware.
We now have handles for newer style Revere Ware cookware available in our store. These handles are one-piece with an embedded metal spline and can be further identified by the single rivet or screw holding the handle to the skillet or saucepan. Some examples of this style of cookware are shown below.
We have all sizes, small, medium, large, and x-large that covers the entire range of copper bottom and tri-ply Revere Ware cookware of this style. We also sell the replacement hardware (a barrel nut, a screw, and a washer) separately for those that need to fix loose rivets or damaged (rusted or stripped) hardware sets.
While some of these original handles are held on by a screw, most of them are held on by a rivet, which must be removed. We have detailed instructions on removing the old rivet here. A drill, a 5/32 drill bit, and a pair of pliers are the required tools.
Note that some newer Revere Ware cookware has somewhat similar one-piece handles that are permanently attached to the pot; there is no way to replace handles on this type of cookware and these handles will not work.
We recently added Canada as a shipping destination to our shopping cart after having received quite a few requests to ship to Canada.
Canadian customers, please be aware that the first handful of orders may have issues as we work through any kinks that might exist the ordering and shipping process.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any difficulties placing an order or problems with receiving the order, and, as always, we will do our best to make everything right.
In the last few days we updated our news/blog page to use the WordPress software, which, in addition to being much nicer looking, provides organization by date, category, and a search function. But the most useful feature is the ability to subscribe via RSS. Now all of our posts (including availability of new parts, announcement of special offers, tips, history, and more) are available right to your email inbox or RSS reader.
It is also much easier for us to post new articles, so look for even more new and interesting content.
I guess we should be flattered that someone listing a Revere Ware item on Ebay considers us an authority.
We have just begun the process or getting a slew of new parts made, including the smallest vintage two-screw pan handle and handles for newer pots that are held on with a single rivet or screw through the metal spline (see below). Finally, we are investigating the feasibility of producing gaskets for the 1574 and 1576 4 and 6 quart pressure cookers.
We started this business because of our own frustration of not being able to get replacement parts for older (and even newer) Revere Ware cookware. We thought perhaps there were others like ourselves that really wanted to keep their cookware going. But, it still surprises us sometimes the extent to which people really love their Revere Ware, like our customer Maggie who continued to use her pot even though the handles were mostly gone.
To compare Google vs the new Bing search engine, someone created a page (called Bingle) that shows the results from each side by side. To try it out, of course, we tried searching “revere ware.” We are happy to report that we’ve made the first page for BOTH search engines, landing in the 6th slot in Google and the 9th slot on Bing. Of course, results like this change daily.
Update: the Bingle site is no longer active
If you haven’t figured us out, we are all about preserving the Revere Ware heritage. Anything that helps get the word out is good. We appreciate any help getting the word out, as well as contributions to our information archive.
At least once a week we receive emails or letters requesting orders by mail or payment by mailing in a check. Unfortunately, transactions like that are simply too time consuming for our small operation. We only accept orders through our own website (payment by credit card or PayPal), Ebay (payment via PayPal), or Amazon.com.
Since we switched over to our new e-commerce enabled website last week, 90% of our customers have opted to purchase directly from us, even though our parts are still available on Ebay.
