5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight, Excellent heat distribution, Easy clean-up, September 13, 2006

I'm thoroughly impressed by this set of inexpensive skillets: each of the three are the right size for my use: Small skillet for nice round pancakes, larger skillet for general stir-fry, the griddle for bacon, eggs and toasting bread (with more than enough real-estate to cook two of three at the same time - could have crammed in the bacon but that releases too much fat).

The best part about this entire set is that it cleans up so well - i'm coming from some lousy Tefal (remember when they were actually a premium brand with good quality? those times have long gone) which stained really badly, not to mention the nonstick flaking off after a couple uses. I've even tried some of the el-cheapo calphalons (another premium brand going downhill) from amazon and they chip and wear fast right out of the box.

I'm now a convert to farberwear - they are inexpensive and has really held up to the test of time (this is in reference to my stainless-steel set I purchased right after college 10 years ago - they're still going strong and is testament to their quality even if they don't have the name or pricing to show for it).

Please note firstly: if you are buying cookware for an entire family, this set is NOT for you. If you are an individual, this set will work.

Farberware's Nonstick series is a great introduction to cooking. If you're not willing to spend the bucks on stainless steel, copper or Cephalon, this is where to go. Personally, I move around a lot and, while I want decent cookware, I'm not willing to buy a complete set until I'm completely settled down. The nonstick coating works really well, ensuring a far more satisfactory meal, given you can use less oils and/or butter, and it's very easy to clean up.

Some cooking suggestions if you buy this set or something similar along this line: do not set your temperatures higher than "medium high," try to use olive oils in lieu of vegetable oils, and never rinse the pan immediately after cooking--let it cool down first. If you do all of this, you won't have the normal problems people on Amazon complain about, with regards to this line (not necessarily this particular set) of Farberware products.

The only issues I have about this particular set is the packaging and the skillet sizes. The set is designed to hang in a store and isn't in a box, so all Amazon can do is place it in a box with some of it's packaged air to protect it. But there's nothing to protect the cookware from bumping against each other during shipment, so you might find a scratch or two which isn't a huge deal, but ceraintly not optimum. I also wish that instead of an 8" and a 9" skillet, there was a 10" and 12". As per referenced above, this set is for individual cooking. And even then, the skillets are too small some of the time.

these are very lightweight but a good deal for the price. would not use high heat when using these. they look nice and are easy to handle. i am older and appreciate the light weight. if you want something for heavy use and a big family, you dont want these unless you want them for small jobs. would buy them again for the price.
