I guess we should be flattered that someone listing a Revere Ware item on Ebay considers us an authority.
New Parts in the Works
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.
Extreme Revere Ware Repair
I’ve never seen a Revere Ware pot damaged as badly as the one in this YouTube video:
The pot in question is a newer pot, with a thinner copper layer; I am shocked that he didn’t go through the copper layer into the stainless steel with all his grinding.
He goes further to demonstrate cleaning Revere Ware with Cameo copper cleaner and Cameo stainless steel cleaner.
I haven’t tried Cameo cleaners but I sure am going to.
More Ebay Trends
I’ve been reporting on the trend of Revere Ware products listed on Ebay for some time, and the trend has been slowly rising, meaning more and more Revere Ware cookware is listed on Ebay. The holidays showed in interesting phenomenon.
The large dip just before the holidays could mean a couple of things. Perhaps people were snapping up Revere Ware via buy-it-now or regular auctions (less relists) or perhaps people took a break from listing their cookware because they were otherwise consumed with the holidays.
Post-holidays, the upward trend in listings seems to have resumed. Perhaps the availability of replacement parts (from us) has made Revere Ware more valuable so more people are listing their old cookware. 🙂
Cast Iron
In addition to our very complete set of Revere Ware, we frequently use cast iron pans for cooking. Here is a quickie tutorial on how to resurrect an old rusty cast iron pan by removing the rust and then seasoning the pan.
More Uses for your Revere Ware
Is your Revere Ware pot beyond help? Don’t fret, there is yet another use for it, to help you get better 3G reception.
People Sure Love Their Revere Ware
This picture from an auction on Ebay shows just what lengths some people will go through to keep using their Revere Ware, even in the absence of replacement parts. And this just happens to be one of the types of handles we sell. 🙂
Proper Cooking Temperature
While scrubbing the inside of my Revere Ware skillets with a green scrubbing pad doesn’t worry me too much, it can be a pain. The best way to avoid this is to find the best temperature for cooking food without it sticking to the pan, handily outlined in this pan preheating tutorial.
The Revere Ware Community
We sell a fair amount of our parts through our website and Ebay, so Revere Ware fans are clearly online, but how Internet savvy are they?
Sadly, not that Internet savvy. Seems nobody is talking about Revere Ware on Twitter and Facebook has a sum total of zero groups related to Revere Ware.
Ebay Trends
Since I first reported the trends I’ve been following of Revere Ware items for sale on Ebay, the trend has changed from flat to clearly rising. Since we don’t have multiple years of data to look at (yet), it is impossible to speculate whether this is a yearly cyclical trend or a general upward trend.
