1950 revere ware set

I have a set of revere ware includeing the 4 and 8 cup drip coffee pot. I like it very much. Also a 8qt farberware dutch oven with thick alm bottom, great for doing meatballson low on top of the stove.
 
Coffee by Revere

In 1950 did Revere still make the riveted handles? I know they stopped by 1975. My Revereware percolator is the 8 cup. It makes a darn good cup of coffee too. I can't use an electric drip coffee maker because I always screw it up. Either I make it weaker than water, or strong enough to serve by the slice, my Revere percolator always seems to come out perfectly, however. Try the link to PT's Coffee below. They sell the best coffee I have ever had. I especially like the Organic Papua New Guinea medium roast, smooth as silk, and with a rich flavor witout being overpowering.

If you're friends with a nationally-ranked barista, you learn to just shut up, enjoy the coffee, and than learn where he got it and how to make it!

I think I'll go brew a pot right now,

We have a mixture of vintage Revere-Ware and Rena-Ware. The Revere is approx. 50yrs old, and looks like yesterday new. The Rena is roughly the same age, it is 3ply, 18-8, stainless steel. These kettles however show their age, these were my mother-in-laws "daily drivers". My wife also prefers them over the Revere because she used these most often. We also have a 5qt. Magnalite dutch oven which was my Grandma's. This baby is well seasoned, and holds many fond memories for our family.
 
Surprisingly effective is "Axion Dishwashing Paste". It's a Mexican product made by Colgate-Palmolive. It resembles the goopy stuff in a tub you find next to many kitchen sinks in the Middle East. You can find it in your supermarket's ethnic aisle or cleaning products aisle.

I've found that the texture of this stuff effectively removes stains from cookware in a manner that is safer than even Bon Ami.
Rinses clean, no residue, gets rid of grease gently.

I've also found that Dawn can be problematic, as well as some of the smallified, superconcentrated liquids. A larger amount of a product like SunLight Sensitive, Original Ivory, regular concentration Ajax, or even Crystal White Octagon liquid is a lot better and cleans far more gently than the Dawn products, which just do "something" to the finishes of cookware that I don't understand and is hard to describe-but isn't good. I like the new clear "Palmolive with Bleach" as well, but I prefer the more dilute formulation.

I've found the Bon Ami product to be the best and least damaging to work with on better cookware-but I'd advise using it carefully and sparingly.

The liquid "soft" cleansers do more damage then they are worth, and furthermore leave unwelcome, stubborn residue.
