I have done, to boil water, for a month or more without any problems... until today, when I completely forgot I'd started it and let it boil dry and then sit there for maybe 30 minutes or more on maximum heat. The copper seemed to malt from the bottom of the pan, shedding copper dust all over the stove top. That was easy to clean up. The bigger problem was that a disc of copper about the size of a quarter seemed to transfer itself from the pan to the stove top. No amount of scrubbing with non-abrasive cleaners would shift it. I eventually scraped it off with the flat of a sharp knife, but both that and more so my earlier attempts to scrape it off with other implements, have left scratches in the top. So, yes, but expect big problems if you let it boil dry!
The Revere stopped putting wood handles on their solid copper cookware in 2010.
There is now a company called Revere Ware. They began in copper bottom pots and pans and in recent years have branched out. Revere was a silversmith and worked in copper making pots and pans.
Revere Ware copper bottom cookware is generally not recommended for use in the oven, especially at high temperatures. The copper base can warp or become damaged if exposed to excessive heat, and the handles may not be heat-resistant. It’s best to consult the specific product guidelines or manufacturer’s recommendations for safe usage. For optimal results, consider using it on the stovetop rather than in the oven.
If your cookware is quite new you can try www.revereware.com which has a warranty contact. If your cookware is quite old, you can try www.reverewareparts.com which sells replacement parts for "vintage" era Revere Ware cookware (1939-1968).
To reattach the copper bottom to your Revere Ware pot, first clean both surfaces thoroughly to remove any old adhesive or debris. Use a high-temperature epoxy or metal adhesive suitable for cookware, applying it evenly around the edge of the copper bottom. Press the copper bottom firmly onto the pot and clamp it if possible to ensure a strong bond. Allow the adhesive to cure completely according to the manufacturer's instructions before using the pot again.
Revere copper-clad stainless is sold by many retailers. It should be found in all upscale kitchen stores. It is also sold at Target, Wal-Mart and other national chains, though the selection at these stores may not be as large.
True "Reverware" is worth more than a no-name brand copper clad bottom pan. However, there is not much money in recycling those pans for metal content. They are excellent cookware and are worth keeping to cook with, but there is not much of a collectors market for them.
The Revere Ware bottom stamp "88-C" indicates that the cookware was manufactured in 1988, with "C" likely denoting the specific month of production, which is often identified as March. Revere Ware is known for its high-quality stainless steel cookware, and the date stamp helps collectors and users identify the age and potential characteristics of the piece. This information can be useful for those looking to restore or value vintage cookware.
In Revere Ware, "92e" typically refers to a specific model or pattern of cookware produced by the brand.

Collectors often use these designations to find or value specific pieces.
Revere Proline cookware is made using a combination of stainless steel and copper, which provides excellent heat conductivity and durability.

my was from 1972....want to know if you can order replacement handles and a nob for the cover?
Revere copper-clad stainless has a good reputation. Buy the copper clad, not the "budget" all stainless. Treat it well and it will last many years.
