Product Description

Amazon.com Review

A great value, this cookware set combines the beauty and easy cleanup of stainless steel and the unsurpassed heat conductivity of copper. All seven pieces are made of 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror finish. Each of the stovetop pieces has its bottom clad in copper to spread heat quickly and evenly. The set consists of a covered 1-quart saucepan; a covered 1-1/2-quart saucepan; a covered 4-1/2-quart Dutch oven for cooking casseroles, braising, and simmering stocks, soup, and chili; and a 9-inch skillet. The phenolic handles and knobs are oven-safe to 350 degrees F, and the pans and skillet have handle loops for hanging on hooks or pegs. This cookware carries a 25-year warranty against defects, and all pieces should be hand washed. --Fred Brack

3.0 out of 5 stars Not classic Revere ware, November 30, 2008

This review is from: Revere 1400 Line 7-Piece Set (Kitchen)

With the purchase of this set, I now own Revere ware made in at least three different locations. I own 16 older pieces made in Clinton, IL in the U.S., four unmarked double boiler and steamer inserts from the same vintage, one tea kettle made in China, and now this set of 7 pieces made in Indonesia, which I just purchased for a guest kitchen.

While these Indonesian made pieces are the same style and sizes as the older U.S. made pieces, they are not manufactured in the same way. The primary difference is in the bottoms. The finish on the copper on the bottoms is rougher, and more importantly, the bottoms are slightly warped. The bottoms can be popped in to be slightly concave, or popped out to be slightly convex, but they aren't flat. In addition, the tops don't fit perfectly snugly.

That's quite different from the older Revere ware pieces manufactured in Clinton IL, whose bottoms are flat and are much smoother. For this reason, you should be skeptical of recommendations for Revere ware which mention how they've been in use for many decades, since those recommendations are likely based on the better quality pieces made years ago, rather than the pieces now available.

All that said, most of the pieces in this Indonesian made set are serviceable. While the skillet might not be perfect for pan frying, the saucepans and dutch oven should be fine for sauces, soups, or other water based cooking. The copper on the bottoms appears thick enough to even out the heat distribution, unlike the copper plate found on some cheap knockoffs. At this price, the set is acceptable as an inexpensive starter set that will do for a casual cook - or for use until one can afford high end pieces from places like Williams Sonoma, or used U.S. made Revere ware from auction sites.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected!, June 16, 2008

This Revere 1400 Line is very light-weight with lids that don't fit. The bottom surfaces aren't flat, and the pans wobble on my glass top range. Steam escapes because the lids are very loose. After boiling water in the pans, spots appeared on the inside surface. I thought this could be the last set of pots and pans I bought, but that's not the case. Revere should be ashamed of the quality of these pans manufactured in Indonesia.

4.0 out of 5 stars older is better, April 5, 2009

I have two 58 year old Revere Ware pans that are in great condition. The new ones have less copper, and stain much more easily. I am disappointed, to say the least. They are not as good as they once were. I suppose current management has sacrificed quality for profit.
