Where Craftsmen Still Care...^®

West Bend began producing top quality household items in 1911. Seven men formed the West Bend Aluminum Ware company in an old button factory located on the west bend of the Milwaukee River in West Bend, Wisconsin, USA. Together with 14 employees they began to produce pie plates, pans, ladles, and cups.

In the 1920s, West Bend introduced its famous "Waterless Cooker", a large pot with inset pans designed to cook an entire meal over one burner. The lid of the cooker was fitted with clamps that prevented the escape of steam during cooking, enabling meals to be cooked without the addition of water. Advertising for the cooker illustrated the convenience, healthfulness and economy of waterless cooking. The new product was marketed coast-to-coast and worldwide. The waterless cooker evolved into cookware sets which adapted the cooking method to sauce pans, skillets, and roasters.

Today, West Bend Cookware is a division of Regal Ware, Inc., the top United States manufacturer of stainless steel cookware for the direct sales industry. Regal Ware and West Bend Cookware brands are known internationally for their quality products and service.
