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.

Much tallerthan average,helping to avoid boil overs this stainless clad alumimum bottom saucepan is a little marvel. to start with :the bottom plate is the flattest of any make and simply does not move onceset on a burner. The lid fits inside the pan, avoiding drips and has a smooth top without the grooves that are ubiquitous in the Calphalon pricier offerings( water catchers requiring extra hand wiping to avoid water spotting
I know of only onecompetitive product: the everyday stainless by Cuisinart but they're far more expensive andthe handles are metalic anddo get too hot to handle when cooking time is lengthy, notso the reinforced plastic ones of Farberware.
Et ceterum censeo:Long live Farberware(the last of the truly sensible cooking pots and pans!I just wish they'd offer a 10 or 11 inch stir fry pan or wok( Not nonstick, please!but with cover)

I just received this pan from my daughter for my birthday. I have 2 farberware pans, a 1 qt saucepan and an 8" skillet that I have had since 1952. That is 50 years. I received them as wedding presents and they have been used daily ever since. I also have a 20 year old 2 qt and a 10 year old 10" skillet. I think that Farberware makes the best pans and I love Them. The quality of this new pan is even better than the older ones. I was pleasantly surprised

I have a set of 16-year-old Farberware. I ordered this 3 qt. pan as a replacement--the handle on my old 3 qt. cracked from where the screw hole is. After I received this beautiful pan, I noticed the limited lifetime guarantee, called the number, and a new handle for my old pan is in the mail to me as we speak. This 3 qt. pan is even nicer than the pans I bought almost 20 years ago and is higher than the old model with a nicer lid/rolled edges and nicer bottom--and it really is beautiful--very classic styling. Since I use them so often and new one's so lovely, I will definitely keep the new one even though a replacement handle is on its way.

I also have a 1 qt., 2 qt., 4 qt. pot, 4 qt. dutch oven, 10" skillet and little mini-skillet, all of which I use all the time (I use at least one or more daily) with no problems. Very nice, basic cookware at a reasonable, affordable price. I bought my cookware individually back when I couldn't afford to buy an entire set. I loved the fact that you could buy a quality pan individually.

BTW, I acquired one of my 4 qt. pots from my grandmother's possessions after who knows how many decades of cooking and it's still in excellent condition. Also have her double boiler pot. Even though the screws do loosen, I only have to tighten every few months at most and have never had a screw strip or lost a handle. I would always buy another Farberware if needed (after seeing this new saucepan, would really like to buy a whole set of it, even though I don't really need it!)

My mom has had these pots for 35 years, I've had mine for 5. They still look like new. They are virtually indestructible, go right in the dishwasher, and cook quickly and evenly. Besides, they look great and the handles don't get hot like the Calphalon's of the world.

I love farberware. My first set which I still own is 18 years old and is still in great shape. I've tried cookware that is alot more expensive but is not as durable. I recommend this over anything that is teflon coated. Teflon is easy to clean, but you have to be careful with it. Once teflon scratches it releases cancer-causing chemicals into your food. This pot will last because it can take a beating, and still cook well.

I received farberware pots for shower gifts 42 years ago...I use them everyday and they still look great...I haven't lost a handle yet. Picked up this 3 qt because I did not have that size...love it!

It might sound silly to say a sauce pan is beautiful but this one is. And it is the perfect size. I love it. And cooks evenly

I ordered this product because I have several Farberware pans and they have maintained their quality after several years. However, after only one use, this saucepan had several pits in the bottom. I only boiled pasta in it so nothing could have scorched in it. I thought it only needed to be scoured, but discovered that the metal was pitted. I would not recommend this item. Disappointed.

I have used Farberware sauce pans for over 30 years. They have been dependable, easy to use, and easy to clean. Recently I accidently boiled the 3-qt saucepan dry. Very dry. The aluminum clad bottom separated from the pan. I have the double boiler and steamer inserts for this size pan. I just needed the replacement 3-qt pan. I ordered the Classic. It certainly looked like the same pan and held the same amount, 3 quarts. However, although it is labeled "Classic," and the style is similar, it is smaller in diameter and the inserts won't work with it. I wrote to Farberware. Their reply acknowledged the different sizes and would I like to buy more new cookeware? The new but not-quite "Classic" pan works fine. If you aren't trying to replace a classic saucepan, try Farberware. You will probably like it as I have.
