I have two of these pots that I received as part of set of wedding presents and they are still going strong after all these years. I've reached for them zillions of times. A kitchen essential. They still look shiny and pretty. Also, you don't have to worry about whether you'll ruin them. I have burned so many things in the bottom of these, (my fault, not the pot's!) so that the bottoms were black, and I've always managed to get them clean (with Cameo cleanser for aluminum) and they are beautiful and shiny again! Price is a bargain too.

This Farberware pan is a study in functionality. It is well made and quite rugged; it has a relatively thick bottom and heats very evenly, and has high quality, durable phenolic handles, which are securely attached and will last a long time. It also has an attachment on the handle to enable hanging from a hook.

My only critique of the pan is that it is a bit too tall relative to other two quart saucepans, and not as big in diameter as I would like, as it won't cover even the smallest burner on an electric range. That is the main reason that I gave it four stars instead of five, but I also deducted a bit for appearance: the pan is homely. I am not looking for a major style statement in my cookware, but rivals like Cuisinart have similarly priced high quality cookware that is considerably more stylish and less dowdy.

Recommended overall: will give years of good service if treated with even a modicum of care, which, in the end, is what I really want from a saucepan.

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.

I bought this in my Gold Box values because I own other Farberware products. This particular pan is not only up to the quality of what I own, but I think better.

I really like this line of cooking ware. The handle does seem to have a sharp edge, other than that, they are great quality.

Farberware 18/10 stainless steel cookware is a good line. I had this cookware at one time, and I can recommend it, especially for use on gas burners. Unlike Calphalon cookware, it can go in the dishwasher. However, to keep the finish gleaming, you might need to scrub the pots and pans frequently with cleanser and scouring pads. The 2-Quart Saucepan is a kitchen essential.

We use this saucepan all the time. Don't know how we got along without. We will be married 47 years in a month.

All my cookware is Farbarware Classic. My first purchase was a starter set bought in 1969. Over the years I have added pieces with many duplicates. All lids interchange on same size pot with the exception of recent purchase. Also bought replacement handles which work but don't quite fit like they have in the past. I suppose that I might as well get used to reduced quality as all products seem to be made not in America

This pan is the perfect size for warming up leftovers, especially if I'm using the microwave to reheat something else. Also, the handle fits well into my arthritic hands and it sits flat on my smooth-top range.

I simply love these Faberware products.I bought the set 25yrs ago,along with another set.The other set is no more while the Faberware is still good,except that I burnt 2 of the setsand just wanted to replace those 2.I bought the other one at Service Merchandise.
