Review of Farberware Restaurant Pro 10-Inch Open Skillet

I have owned Farberware for years and think it cooks very well for the price you pay. This skillet cooks well. Lets see how long the non-stick lasts.

Product Description
One of the most used pans in any well-equipped kitchen. Skillets have sloped sides so that foods slide out easily. . Used for cooking omelets, pancakes, quesadillas, sautéing vegetables, searing steaks, fish and poultry. The nonstick surface makes clean up effortless.

Review of Farberware Classic 6-Quart Stockpot with Lid

This pan is a family classic in my home! I had to search and search many a page to find it, and its half the price I have seen on 'guarenteed lowest price' sites.

My family cooks traditional italian meals from gravy making to stuffed artichokes and this size is by far the most common pan we ever used.

As for Farberware, I can't say enough good things.If you could tell the 45 year old pots from the new ones in my Moms house, well you would be psychic because no one in the family can.

Even after the bean incident of 83, we still recovered the pan nicely (dont ask, but lets just say dad used power tools)

Product Description
Many of us grew up and learned to cook with Farberware, one of the oldest and most trusted names in cookware. The classic beauty and lifetime durability of stainless steel is enhanced by a sandwich of aluminum in the base which improves heat conductivity and efficiency. For making hearty stews and aromatic soups a stock pot is essential. Available in several sizes to accommodate the needs of your family and entertaining style.

Review of Farberware Restaurant Pro 12-Inch Open Skillet

This pan looks and feels like a restaurant quality pan. It's very solidly built. The nonstick coating works well and seems to be of similar quality to my smaller All-Clad pan. The outside is brushed aluminum so you don't have to worry about scratches. The pan is a bit thinner than some of the high-end pans, but I prefer it since it heats up quickly, it's easier to moderate the temperature, and it's easier to maneuver. As far as I can tell it heats pretty evenly. My previous pan was a higher end Calphalon whose coating wore out within 2 years. In my opinion, it's not worth the investment to buy an expensive non-stick. I think you get more than what you pay for here.

Review of Farberware Classic Series 2-Quart Saucepan with Double Boiler Insert and Lid

This set has come in handy many times in the kitchen.The pots can be used together or separately as a double boiler, although the bottom on the smaller one is not very thick.They are good for making sauces but if you make large quantities, you should get a larger double boiler.

Product Description
Absolutely essential for melting chocolate, butter, or anything that might scorch easily, like a cream sauce. Every kitchen needs a double boiler, why not choose one with a lifetime warranty?

Review of Farberware Classic 8-Quart Stockpot with Lid

My mother has had her set of Farberware for well over 30 years, and has never had a problem. I've had mine for about 15, and I am now replacing this particular pot (the second pot in my set that needed replacement). The rim on my 8-qt and the one on my 2.5qt sauce pot have cracked. I had the saucepan replaced 10yrs ago via mail and the lifetime warranty.

I would replace it with the same pot, but I find that the plastic handles get too hot to hold bare-handed when I use the large burners on my gas stove. Also I'd like a glass lid to see when the water is boiling without removing the lid. So I'm in the market for something slightly different, but can't find anything as good for a similar cost.

HOWEVER, when I was offered the opportunity to replace my cookware, I kept this pot specifically because the size is wonderful for making large amounts of soup/chilis/etc. The pot itself is not too heavy to carry when empty, and it fits in most sinks for easy cleanup (I have a spaghetti pot that won't fit under my faucet). And it did last 15 years, being washed in the dishwasher and otherwise used and abused.

What makes this pot the best is the dimensions. It's not so wide as to take over the entire stove, but not so narrow that it's impossible to get a spoon inside and stir up a thick chili. The bottom is heavy enough to conduct heat and boil water quickly.

It's a great mid-priced pot. If it had metal handles, I'd use 1-click on it right now! I may purchase it again anyway, but I'm still undecided.

Product Description
For decades Farberware has been an integral part of many American kitchens. Here's a pot that will see regular use, season after season, offering up stick-to-your-ribs stews and soups in the winter, and corn on the cob and pasta for salad in the summer time.

Review of Farberware Restaurant Pro 11-Inch Square Griddle

This is a great griddle!!! It is easy to clean and is heavy enough to take on a barrage of pancakes. EXCELLENT!!

Product Description
The low sides of griddles give you maximum access to the cooking surface of the pan. This makes them ideal for foods like pancakes, eggs or French toast as well as grilled sandwiches.

Review of Farberware Classic 3-Quart Saucepan with Lid

This saucepan is a nice size, not too large and cumbersome and not too small.This allows many items to heat nice and evenly and not boil over if a watchful eye is not kept closely on them and the pan is too small or scald because the pan is too big.The lid fits on with a nice tight seal, it fits even better than my older Farberware pans of this sort.You cannot go wrong with this pan, for sure!The hook on the handle is great if you have a pot rack.This is an added nice feature!The handle is comfortable and stays cool, like on all the other Farberware pans I have.

Product Description
A useful size for making cream soups, cooking rice or vegetables and a variety of other tasks, this mid-size sauce pan will provide a lifetime of service.

Review of Farberware Classic 12-Inch Fry Pan with Lid and Helper Handle

My mother has owned this pan ever since I can remember, and she used it three or four times each week for at least 10 years, from the time I was aware of such things until the time I moved out. She still uses it 15 years later. I truly believe she has never replaced it in all that time. I have since purchased a set for myself including the frying pan, and it is a very durable product. Best and most even heating of any pans I've owned. It's got a very comfortable weight balance and I don't have to worry about the handle getting hot. I like the classic version without the teflon because you never have to worry about scraping the coating off.

I love Farberware Classic and I want to complete my set and never have to worry about buying new pans again.

Product Description
All the utility of a fry pan plus the added advantage of a lid, for when something needs to simmer. You will appreciate the helper handle when it comes to moving this large pan. Stainless steel with an aluminum disc, this classic cookware will provide a lifetime of fine performance.

Review of Farberware Accents 4-Quart Covered Deep Jumbo Cooker, Blue

The pan worked fine until it warped on the bottom and would not stay flat on the stove.I sent it back for a refund.

Product Description
This pan is wide enough to cook a pound of bacon or flip a few pancakes, and deep enough to accommodate a feast-size batch of chicken cacciatore or pork chops and sauerkraut. Useful as an open or covered pan, its width and depth make it versatile pan for breakfast, lunch or dinner meals. It features a nonstick interior so that you may cook without added oils and still enjoy easy clean-up afterwards.

Review of Farberware Classic 2-Quart Saucepan with Lid

This has got to be the deal of the century, and not only that, these pans will last you almost that long! My mother has had a set for 35 years, and I've had mine for 5. Nearly indestructible, dishwasher safe, good performers on the stovetop, with stay-cool handles! They even look great after all those years!
Keep in mind that because they are mostly stainless steel, with an aluminum bottom, Farberware does not heat up quite as fast as, say, hard-anodized aluminum such as Calphalon, which gourmets prefer. Stainless steel is a poor heat conductor, while aluminum is good and copper is the best. On the plus side, you can't put Calphalon in the dishwasher and Calphalon does not have true stay-cool handles, like Farberware.
Anyway, how often do you buy a gift knowing that it will still be around 20, 30, 40 years from now? By the way, if the pot does have a problem, they come with a Lifetime Warranty.

Review of Farberware Restaurant Pro 14-Inch Open Skillet

The skillet is 14 inches, but the bottom of the pan is no larger than my 12 inch skillet.It's deep, but it is not a wide pan and that's what I was looking for.The outside is brushed metal and is not as nice looking as some other skillets.Not really suitable to hang on my pot rack with my other non-stick pans.The handle is useful.

Review of Farberware Classic 10-Inch Fry Pan with Lid

I have always wanted to own a classic aluminum piece of cookware and a skillet was a perfect choice.I had two gift certificates from doing online surveys so my total cost out of pocket after shipping was added was .58.So, I thought even if I didn't like the pan a great deal once I got it I only paid .58 cents and it would be no big loss.Was I pleasantly surprised at the curvy lines and clean appearance and tight fitting lid.It cooks wonderfully and the rolled, high sides make cooking even easier and cleanup is easy too.I can see myself reaching for this skillet time and time again.(The only flaw is it could use a handle on the opposite side to make draining liquids easier.):-)

Product Description
Functional as well as beautiful, this 10-inch frying pan is made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel polished to a mirror finish. The pan has an aluminum core in its base to spread heat quickly and evenly. The core is completely clad in stainless steel so, like the rest of the pan, the bottom resists corrosion and discoloring and cleans up easily. Thick rolled rims add durability and make it possible to pour from the pan without dripping. Because the pan is 2-1/2 inches deep and comes with a tight-fitting, domed lid, it is roomy enough to fry chicken and sauté vegetables but can also be used for braising red cabbage and pork chops or for cooking chili on the stovetop or in the oven. The handles are oven safe to 350 degrees F and stay cool on the stovetop. The pan is dishwasher-safe and comes with a lifetime warranty against defects. All the utility of a fry pan plus the added advantage of a lid, for when something needs to simmer. Stainless steel with an aluminum disc, this classic cookware will provide a lifetime of fine performance.
