A. My Revere Ware is older than my marriage, and I keep the copper bottoms clean and beautiful with "Copper Glo [affil links]" by Barkeepers Friend [on eBay or Amazon]. Hey, I grew up in Maryland.
Good Luck.

A. Have you tried the factory outlet stores? Some of them have Corning Ware/Revere Ware stores. I found some copper cleaner at a factory store 40 minutes from my home. I bought 5 bottles so that they'll last me a long time.

thumbs down signI have Revere ware since 1955, always kept them cleaned after every use, I always used Copper Glo, I ordered it from the company that makes the Barkeepers Friend , the last time I tried to order it (9/2013), I was told they no longer made it, because they couldn't get the stores to carry it. I do not like the Cameo brand, I have tried eBay but all they have is the stainless steel cleaner. I'm very disappointed that they quit making it, it was the best, I've tried others but none works like Copper Glo.

A. Hi Glenna. Sometimes a product comes back, and you can hope for that. As an alternate, Barkeeper's Friend [on eBay or Amazon] seems pretty good.

Copper dishware damaged by dishwasher

Q. I have a friend who was just telling me the first time she had a dinner party using her prized copper dinnerware the guests cleared & put dishes in her dishwasher. She bought the dishes overseas and is just sick about it. Is there a remedy or should she just throw them out?

Mothers Polish
on
Amazon

(affil links)

A. Hi Donna. Assuming it's solid copper, not just copper plated, there should be little difficulty polishing it. A copper cleaner like Revereware Copper Cleaner is able to clean even copper pots, so I would think it can handle this. But if not, then a buffing pad on a battery-operated drill and something like Mothers .
will surely do it.

But copper tarnishes rather quickly, so the thing which I'm not quite understanding here is how your friend found the maintenance requirement of these dishes satisfactory unless they had some sort of food-safe coating on them. And, if so, why did the dishwasher remove it.

Regards,
