It must have been over twenty years ago when I first purchased this product and I loved it then. The size of the skillet was perfect and it stayed coated a long time. But now I feel that Revere Wear must have changed their way of making this skillet. The coating doesn't last long at all. Before long everything sticks to the pan. Though I love the size of the pan I would no longer purchase this product. It's not worth it to publish something that stops from being a nonstick skilet in such a short time.
