 Revere Ware isn't what it used to be Jun 22, 2005
By biochem
I had a 12-inch T-Fal skillet that was wearing out (was no longer sitting even on the stove, and the teflon was flaking) so decided to purchase a 12-inch Revere Ware skillet. I used Revere Ware skillets a number of years ago and found them to be of high quality. Not any more. When I received the 12-inch skillet I found that instead of perfectly round, it protruded towards the back where the handle attaches. Thus, any lids for 12-inch skillets would not fit. This is a quality control problem, as it was definitely not designed in, based on the unevenness of the protrusion. It was so obvious that I'm wondering if there is quality control done on these. Also the handle did not fit tight but jiggled a bit. On the plus side it is lightweight and it appears to have a good coating of teflon. One surprise is my old Revere Ware skillets were made in the USA. As one might have guessed, these were made in China. Somehow I figured that a skillet having Paul Revere's image on the bottom, along with the year "1801" might still be made in the USA.

Not what it used to be Jun 18, 2008
By T. Smith
I ordered this skillet even with the mixed reviews because I loved the previous one I have had for more than 10 years. This one is definitely not going to last that long. After one dinner use, the handle is already loose. It feels very flimsy compared to my old one. I will use it until it falls apart but I won't be replacing it with another one. This was such a disappointment. I just hope the teflon coating is not going to come apart as quickly as the handle. The teflon coating was the problem with my old one & I had to replace it. I am not getting any more w/teflon coatings & am sticking with the ss versions.

 Great for the price Apr 30, 2005

I received this as a Christmas gift along with the 12" lid. It was my first really decent skillet, so I didn't know what to expect, but it has really fared well in my kitchen. I make 1 dish meals for two, chicken parmesean, pancakes, anything really and clean up couldn't be easier. My one complaint is that it doesn't always cook evenly, so I'm constantly rotating. You don't need high temps to get quick results. As for the lid, the handle broke off shortly after getting it, so unfortunately, I need to buy a new one (which seems a little overpriced if you ask me!) But the price for this pan is worth what you get, a more-than-decent skillet for those "just starting off".

 REVEREWARE AINT WHAT IT USED TO BE Feb 11, 2010
By M. Maguire
Revereware used to be really good, now it's made in China and the quality is terrible. This pan was so out of round that my lid would not fit on it. And the aluminum was so thin and cheap. Just a lousy pan all the way around. I promptly sent it back. I got great pan at TJ Max for $25. Amazon shouldn't even sell crappy merchandise like this.

Decent for the money Jul 15, 2007

The other inhabitants of my household sometimes need to get a clue about how to treat teflon. As a result, I don't like to spend lots of money on something I know will get ruined. I feel this pan was a good compromise on price and quality. It's held up relatively well. I've had it for a few years now. On the plus side, it cooks things very well. The pan is thick enough that it distributes heat evenly, so I don't get burned spots or warping. On the minus side, as with any teflon pan, the coating resents abuse. The pan survived its trip through the dishwasher relatively intact, although the external aluminum surface was dulled. The coating eventually developed scratches after someone decided to start piling silverware into it during kitchen cleanups. The pan survived this treatment longer than most would have, but eventually it succumbed.
