The difference in quality and weight of newly manufactured (overseas) Revere saucepans and those made in America half a century ago is obvious when placed side by side. I am STILL using several 1960's pans, and they remain in BETTER shape after all these years of use than the "new" ones I bought that dent so easily. Young owners of the "new" Revere will not know the difference, making "ok" or "acceptable" the new standard. How sad is THAT?!

I have used Revere Ware copper clad pots and Farber aluminum pots for 42 years of marriage and two young girls who were hard on the pots. The Farber aluminum clad pots all buckled from the differential expansion of the aluminum cladding relative to the steal body of the pot. This took many years of use before all the aluminum clads became useless. My Revere Ware copper clad pots are all as good as the day we got them in the 1960s! So two weeks ago I decided to replace the worst of the buckled pots with new Revere Ware copper clad pots. What a mistake that was. Niced and shiny steel pots with a copper cladding for even heating. After a few day I finely used them both, I put two inches of water in the two quart pot place some frozen vegetables in also. Within minutes of heating the pot it suddenly buckled worse than any of my aluminum clad pots and of coarse heating took a long time due to the uneven base of the pot. Unfortunately, I discarded the boxes etc before ever using the pots and now have to determine if Revere will replace. On the bright side my three quart Revere Ware pot has not buckled yet.Here are two observations, the China made pots from Revere are made of thinner copper and steel components and Revere has lost its reputation for producing quality products. It is my fault for not having read the prior reviews before considering purchase of these pots. If Revere is willing to degrade its flagship product of the last century for a little extra profit then how are we to trust any of their products. It is sad to see fine American brands degraded like this.
With the above said, lots of excellent products come from China, so this is not a China versus US made issue, its about what US manufactures are willing to do in order to make a bit more profit by sending proction oversas and reducing quality standards. All my current computers and many other high tech items are made in China and they are excellent, this is about Revere Ware and its loss of quality. Revere 3514027 2-Quart Covered Saucepan
Best Deals for Revere Copperclad Bottom 1-Quart Covered Saucepan
Our older Revereware pans are great, and part of the reason they're great is the really heavy bottom, which distributes heat evenly and extends the life of the pan.This pan has a nice copper bottom, which is good for heat distribution I guess, but it's disappointingly thin. It's not the quality it used to be, or so it seems to me.
Honest reviews on Revere Copperclad Bottom 1-Quart Covered Saucepan
This pan is not good quality. It is much lighter than the olds ones that were made in the USA! This is made in Indo-China and that should explain it all. Too bad that a product named after an American Patriot left the US to save money.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Revere Copperclad Bottom 1-Quart Covered Saucepan
While I will agree, my 20 year old pan is a bit heavier, this is still a very nice pan. It is fairly heavy. The lid fits nicely and the handle is firm. While we long for the past quality of goods, we can still recognize a quality item.
