Copper is good conductor of heat as compare to stainless steel. Hence it (Copper) can heat early as compare to stainless steel.
Thats why, use of utensils having copper bottoms requires less time for cooking.
It shouldn't as stainless is harder than copper.
Copper sulphate solution testA simple 5 percent copper sulphate solution, applied in the same way as the water drop test, should confirm the differences between non-stainless steels and stainless steels. A metallic copper coloured deposit should form easily on non-stainless steels, but the solution should remain free of copper colour if the sample is a stainless steel.
According to ASTM 967, the compound used is CuSO4x5H2O.
Copper, silver, stainless steel are some things that are shiny and conduct electricity.
A copper sink needs less abrasive cleansers than a stainless steel sink and some that are recommended are barkeepers friend and bon ami. Both use less abrasives.
Yes, Revere Ware generally is. They make different styles and types now, but the 'classic' Revere Ware is Stainless Steel with Copper Clad bottoms.
As the bottom of Revere Ware pans are either copper or stainless steel Brasso is not indicated, but may work, I have never tried it. But I have been cleaning my Revere Ware pans for 30 years and below is the method I use to keep them bright. For the pans with copper bottoms you can purchase copper cleaner, I use Kleen King brand. If you prefer you can just dampen the copper sprinkle plain table salt on it, squeeze lemon juice on it and then scrub it, I frequently use this method when I am out of copper cleaner, it is the way my mother always cleaned the bottoms of her Revere Ware and they were always shiny bright. For the pans with stainless steel bottoms you can purchase stainless steel cleaner, once again I use Kleen King, which can be used on any stubborn spots on the exterior or interior of the stainless pots as well.

I have been looking for an additional pot becasue I rec'd new REvere cookware for Christmas. I was tired of cleaning copper bottoms. According to the info on Rever's website, (non-copper bottom) the Tr-ply collection pots/pans are constructed of durable shiny stainless steel. The bottoms on the pans feature an encapsulated aluminum disk between 2 layers of stainless for quick even heat distribution. (From other sources, I have read that stainless by itself does not have even hest distibution.)
No it would not be made of copper as it oxidises green and you wouldn't want to get that over your clothes. It is usually made of stainless steel.
They're the same, actually. Copper-clad pots are always made out of stainless steel, so the pots are identical. The trick is that a copper-clad stainless pot absorbs heat better due to the copper cladding - the copper conducts heat better than stainless.
aluminum is the best, then copper then stainless steel
In most cases, tri-ply bottom cookware means just that - three ply material is used on the bottom of the cookware. Let's look at a pan and check it out. An aluminum pan is usually one ply. It's all aluminum. It's a good conductor of heat, and it works well. Some pans are copper on the bottom but have a stainless steel body (and interior). The copper and stainless make a two-ply construction. The copper conducts heat well (several tens of times better than stainless), and the stainless makes for an inert and long-wearing cooking surface. In try-ply, we usually see a stainless pan, a fat copper "disk" on the bottom, and another layer of stainless over the copper (which "seals it in" there). These pans are all stainless on the outside and inside. Stainless steel is extremely tough and resistant to corrosion. They wear forever. But stainless isn't a good conductor of heat. That little disk of copper sandwiched in between the stainless layers on the tri-plybottom makes the pan heat more quickly and cook more evenly.

I cannot imagine any advantage of copper coating stainless? Stainless will not oxidize as readily as copper. I have uses lead coated copper flashing that was exposed to acid rain and bird droppings etc.
usually cheap metal that was painted, like brass and copper, or stainless steal
