I have always liked the Farberware cookware for over 30 years. The steel pots are perfect. I am not crazy about the non-stick ones, wish they had covers too, and a bit heavier. Besides, I don't care for non-stick surface as much because it could leave toxins after a scratch. I like the glass lids, they are easier to clean. The size of most pots in this set is fairly small which you may not realize from the size provided in quarts, but appropriate for a small household's kitchen. Overall, it's a pretty good quality set for the price compared to all those other brands with highly inflated prices.

I love the farberware cookware. the pots are perfect. some lightweight pots my wife purchased actually warped and thus rattled on the stovetop. since i am the cook, it drove me crazy. i threw them out in less than a month. the only "problem" and the reason for 4 not 5 stars is the non-stick pans. I hate the non stick surface because they scratch and can leave toxins in the food . cant convince my wife that you must use wooden utensils, so i just threw them out

Great value for the price. I have always found Faberware quality to be trustworthy. I recommend this set for everyday use for a small family. The pots are not big so if you cook for a lot of people, this is not the set for you.

Excellent cookware. Easy to clean, able to use steel-wool on tough spots without harming surface (except on nonstick frypans). Sturdy, tight fitting lids. Great value!

Love the pots. The same great quality of my original set 43 years ago. Was, however, disappointed with the glass covers. They do not offer the same seal, I get with my old set. The one advantage I have found with the glass covers, is being able to see when my liquid is boiling.

I am looking forward to many years of service from my new set of pots.

Thank you,

I got my Farberware Classic pots and pans in my wedding shower 36 years ago. At the time, I chose them chiefly for their sleek, modern appearance and their beautiful curved handles. In using them I found that they cook as beautifully and they look. The aluminum core provides even cooking and helps prevent scorching or sticking, and the pots clean up easily. This stuff lasts forever, and after years of daily use, performs as well as it did the day I took it out of the box. I can't comment on the non-stick pieces, since I don't own any, but I would recommend Farberware stainless steel to anyone looking for a quality product that will hold up over the years.

I have owned my Farberware for 12 years and love it.It was made in the USA. So when I wanted to get cookware for my daughter, Farberware was my 1st choice.I ordered a "10 piece classic set" from Amazon(They sent it through another shipper but it came on time and was well packed)
When the set came my daughter cooked oatmeal in the small sauce pan for 3 mornings and noticed the finish on the bottom of the pan was chipping off I called the plant and they said that they would replace it. Before I could send it back we used one of the larger pans and noticed it had a small chip in the bottom and was discolored on the sides and bottom. I looked for the warranty which said it was "limited lifetime" but didn't cover discoloring and a lot of other things. This was STAINLESS STEEL. It didn't say what was meant by "lifetime" so I guess it was the lifetime of the pan, which was 3 days in this case.I then checked to see where it was made and it was Thailand. I called the plant again and they don't make anything in the USA anymore.I boxed it all up and returned it.I learned most cookware is made overseas now, so I don't know what to buy. But it won't be Farberware. It is a bunch of junk! I'm hoping some other factories overseas are better, they couldn't be any worse.

Hard anodized calphalon is better! I am still a fan of Farberware but the exterior coating on this set scratches very easily so it looses its look that way but It's the inside that matters the most and it works great!

Great value and quality. I have always enjoyed Farberware and these are a great addition to my kitchen,

I love them.
They're the perfect weight - not so heavy that they are hard to work with, and not so light that they feel flimsy and the food burns.
They heat evenly - so things cook at the same speed no matter where they are in the pan.
A great size for 2 - I had 5 children, and these pans would have never been big enough to cook anything, but now that it's just my husband and me, they're great. Even if we have guests for dinner. I would not recommend them for a large family.
Best of all, they have Farberware quality. Good looks and durability. The teflon coating on the frying pans is not going to peel and flake as long as they're not abused, the lid from the stock pot fits the large frying pan, and the lid from one of the sauce pans fits the smaller frying pan.
This is definitely the last set of pans I'll be buying, I have no doubt they're going to last a very long time.
