LOL!
I have lots of Revereware with copper bottoms. Try the ketchup and report
back. I'll bet it's a joke and won't work at all. I used to scrub mine
clean for a short while but finally gave up as it takes way more time than
the average cook has.

IMO, if you see shiny copper bottoms of pans hanging in a kitchen....that
person never uses them or they hire someone to polish them each week.

My Revereware pots and pans are black on the copper bottoms and they can
stay that way as far as I'm concerned. They still work fine. :-D I'll use
my ketchup for dogs & burgers.
