For decades, I have tried to find a Revere Ware deep well kettle and finally, one appeared and I acquired it. These were introduced in 1940 as one of the first pieces of the line of cookware. Production was suspended during the war then it resumed until the piece was discontinued around 1955 when deep well cookers began to be phased out in electric ranges.

Congratulations Tom!!
Thank you, but I don't deserve any credit. I just kept looking.
You may not think you deserve credit, but your steadfast determination all those years does deserve recognition and appreciation.
Tom! Please post a pic or two if you can! Greg
I have a whole set of Revere cook wear and are at a loss to keep the bottoms shiny. I tried the Revere copper cleaner, Twinkle, even Bar Keepers friend and scrub and scrub and I cant get the copper to shine. Is there a secret way to make it shiny like the tv ads for Twinkle did in 1 swipe?
Tim,
Before I got my Farberware I had a complete set of Revere Ware and I always used either Barkeepers Friend or Twinkle on the bottoms EVERY time I washed them. The secret is to use a copper cleaner every time you wash them. My Mom had a set of Revere Ware that she got as a wedding gift in 1948. We seldom used Twinkle on them because it was expensive. Therefore the copper bottoms were always tarnished and had areas of burnt on cooking oils and grease.
I personally think that Barkeepers Friend works better than Twinkle cream at both cleaning and polishing but also at thoroughly removing any oil or grease so it doesn’t get a chance to cook on to the copper bottoms. And I would NEVER recommend putting copper bottom Revere Ware pots and pans in the DW.
If you have a copper bottomed Revere Ware pan that has some cooked/burnt on cooking oil/grease I suggest using an SOS or Brillo pad to scour off the blackened areas, then follow up with Barkeepers Friend to finish polishing the copper. After this cleaning just be sure to ALWAYS finish washing your Revere Ware EVERY time you wash it with some Barkeepers Friend. Follow this regimen and your copper bottomed Revere Ware will always shine like new.

It may sound odd but I always run my Revere pots through the DW using Cascade Platinum + and the copper comes out nice and shiny, same with my KA copper bowl liner for whipping egg whites.
There is a difference between using an acid-based copper cleaner to remove the tarnish and a metal polish to make the copper shine like when it was new. The old Twinkle ads were deceptive. Taking care of the copper was never that easy.
I have a picture of the pan on my phone and I have it as an email attachment, but I do not know how to post either to the site. Sorry. If anyone can send directions, I will try to post the picture. The amazing thing is that deep well pans had little bulges in the sides to accommodate the trivet that was used in different positions to position foods at various levels. All of the other deep well pans were aluminum which is a fairly soft metal, but the Revere pan is stainless steel which is a considerably harder metal and yet it has the same little side indentations. The engineering it took to do that is one of the things that has amazed me about the Revere deep well kettle.
