I replaced all my 30 year old Revere Ware with All-Clad. I like them much better.

And they are much better than 30 year old Revere Ware, for sure!

But pre-1968 Revere Ware? it's a toss up.

All-Clad, especially the USA-made stuff, is considered top of its class for stainless steel. It's expensive as hell, but also durable as hell. America's Test Kitchen didn't notice a huge difference between their 3-ply and 5-ply pans

Yes, but I am referring to the good stuff, pre-1968. Surely every single test uses the crap Revere Ware produced after that.

This is totally anecdotal, but- back when we were getting married, I wanted to stock our home with Revereware, but couldn't find a good option other then slowly picking things up at thrift shops (which I'm generally a big fan of!). Someone gifted us a set of all stainless steel Cuisinart pots/pans for our wedding. They're nothing fancy, just a basic 11 piece set that looks like it's still stocked at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. But they've been used daily for 8 years now, on gas and electric stoves, and they don't have a ding on them. I'm terrible at taking care of things. These have sat on the stove while food got gross in them, they've soaked in the sink for days at a time, I've ran them through the dishwasher plenty of times. I've boiled things dry in them. A little barkeeper's friend and they always come right back around. I've been really pleased with them. I can't imagine any issues arising that these pans haven't already dealt with. So they have totally fulfilled, for me, what I was looking for with Revereware.

You can find them at thrift store. At least in Calgary they are everywhere.

Before spending a lot of money, consider the possibility that you will be purchasing or using an induction stove within the coming years. Non magnetic pots like Revere Ware don’t work. We ended up replacing several pots. Induction stoves are the best in my long experience and will become more mainstream yearly. So, consider an induction-ready set of pots, get individual pots that are the best in class. For Revere Ware kinds of uses, we’ve been happy with La Chantel. A bit over-engineered, but even cooking.

I have found good vintage ones on EBay. If found in the thrift store (I’m always looking), always flip them over and make sure they’re the old Made in USA ones; the newer ones (made overseas) feel flimsy by comparison.

Also make sure the handle material is intact. Itst common a screw is missing and the phenolic is chipped.

All-Clad, Tramontina, Calphalon Premier, etc. Any fully clad tri-ply stainless will last decades.

I've had my caphlon stainless for 2 decades now and they're still going strong.

Revere Ware pots at the thrift store.

Just be aware that you need magnetic pots for an induction range.

We have an induction cooktop (Revererware does not work)

We are currently using a mixture of Black Cube pans and Green Pans, and Made-In brand pans. All have been in use for about 3 years so far.

Dear husband routinely burns oatmeal in both our Revere Ware and Kirkland All Clad pans. I will let the pan cool then pour in white 5% Vinegar or Apple Cider Vinegar in it, bring it to a hard boil, turn off the hit and put the lid on it, then let it cool down, I then use a fork to scrape the burnt food out of it. Works like a charm.

I wish I could sell you my family’s set. I’ll be inheriting them and I’m just not a fan of the look.
