I ordered Millinnium Soft Touch Stainless on a Saturday, it arrived the following Thursday.It is beautiful,perfect weight and love the heat proof handles and lids. Had to try it out, so I fried a hamburger, then put the pan in warm soapy water and let it soak, came clean without any elbow grease. I did some research on several brands,including All Clad(too expensive)Cuisinart and Costco's Kirkland. Farberware is just as good as far as composition. My son is a professional chef and he recommended Farberware to me. I did need to adjust my cooking temperature, only medium and low. I have a ceramic cook top and the cookware works fine on it. I am very pleased, I only wish there would have been a larger skillet, 10 inches is a little small. Other than that I would recommend this cookware to anyone. It has a life time guarantee and the price is great.

After using the same pots and pans for 40 year, decided it was time to purchase a new set. Seemed like a good Christmas present.

Went to the internet to seek all the information I could find and made my decision. Coupon in hand I went to the store and discovered my choice for stainless cookware was much too heavy and the pots were empty.

Suddenly, riveted handles were not as important as weight. I had to start over and set about lifting all the stainless cookware to determine which would give me some weight without being too heavy. I don't know if this is a "senior" problem or if everyone finds some cookware very heavy.

Decided on the Farberware Millennium soft touch stainless and have not regretted my decision. I have the even cooking of the encapsulated bottom, I have the riveted handles that are never hot, I have the choice of putting them in the dishwasher and I have the option of using them in the oven.

All of my requirements have been met.

I have had these pots and pans for over a year now and am still very pleased with their performance.

I did have to learn to cook differently when using stainless steel with encapsulated bottoms.

People need to understand that hard water will cause discoloration on stainless, but using Barkeepers Friend will remove any marks.

I love the soft handles and never have to worry about them being hot.

Highly recommend these pots and pans.

Decided to buy new pans for me and give old set to my daughter going away to college. I did a lot of research before purchasing...Amazon had the best price and free shipping! I wanted stainless steel lids as opposed to glass ones so that was a plus for this set. The silicone covered handles are wonderful. This is a heavy duty set and cooks and cleans up beautifully. The only change I would make is to substitute a 12 inch skillet for the two smaller ones this set contains.

I am disappointed that the "stainless" steel is not quite as stainless as I believed it would be. When I boil water in one of the pots I am left with a waterline/water marks in the pot. I also noticed that, after leaving the pot and cover in water, the rivets(?) holding the handle to the cover seemed really affected by the water - they lost their shine and I wouldn't be suprised to see rust stains appear. So now, for the covers at least, I have to make sure that they are not sitting in water.
Also, water takes much longer to boil in one of these pots than in any other pot I have owned.

However, I would say that the pots seem to be well made and I expect them to last a long time. They are a decent first pot set.

The pans are very pretty but they do stain. Anything that is cooked in it, even tho I clean them as soon as they cool down, each time I use it there is a new stain but I do like them. But they are not stainless.

I was very pleased with the 10 piece cookware set. It really heats evenly and cleans up easily.

I bought my Farberware Millenium set nearly 2 years ago. They clean up really well and look pretty much like the day I got them. No problems with the dishwasher at all! The silicon grips are my favorite feature (aside from being stainless steel). They make it so much easier to cook and not have to grab pot holders all the time. I'm a person that is clumsy with hot pots, so this was perfect. The handles are really sturdy too. I grew up in a home with the Farberware classic series and the plastic handles on those would always come loose and have to be tightened w/ a screwdriver. This hasn't been the case with the Millenium. I really would like to buy some more to expand my set in the future. These were an amazing price for what I got. Highly recommended!

This Farberware Millennium Soft-Touch SS set, which I received as a gift this past Christmas, has totally won my heart over and I would not hesitate to buy more from this series or even buy these as gifts for others. I've been using my set nearly every day since January and they have made me a very happy woman in the kitchen.

For one, this attractively designed set has stayed nearly as pretty as the day I unpacked them from their box. Thanks to the smart lip design around the rims, liquids don't haphazardly drip down the sides, burn, and stain the pots or pans. (This also makes them easier to keep clean.) I've also received compliments on how attractive my cookware set is. I like that!

Two, the soft-touch handles work great. Not only is it easier on the hands, they also make it easy to handle your cookware without potholders every single time. Yes, they do grow very warm and uncomfortable at times, but nothing that I've experience that can cause injury. Now, I haven't used my pans in the oven - so I cannot speak for that type of scenario - but for my every day gas stove top uses, they've kept their cool.

Three, they cook GREAT!!! I've never been a fan of stainless steel in the past, but that's all changed now that I have this Farberware set. This set works efficiently enough to avoid having to use high heat all the time. I get better results working with lower heats now. It took a bit of a re-learning curve with my cooking initially, but once I got the gist of it, I had no problems working with stainless steel (SS) and my meals come out to my expectations.

Four, easy cleanup. I used to believe that SS was such a pain to keep clean. But, once I learned to cook properly with SS, cleanup is not such a hassle that I thought it would be. Also, this cookware set easily cleans up in the dishwasher and it doesn't ruin their external appearance. I've also hand washed my Farberware Millennium pots and pans plenty of times without much effort. They truly clean up quite easily, BUT with one exception - EGGS!! Ugh! I'm sticking to non-stick Teflon pans for those.

While I do love my Farberware Millennium set, it doesn't 100% fit all my needs so I do have a select few other pots and pans I've kept from my old collection of cookware. Like I mentioned before, I keep a small teflon-coated skillet for cooking eggs. I also keep a couple of wide-mouthed saucepans to accommodate my steamer. (The narrow design of the Farberware set keeps me from using the smaller saucepans for that purpose.) And what kitchen would be complete without a set of cast-iron skillets? But, for the most part, my SS Millennium set is my main workhorse cookware set that I use nearly every day with pleasure.

Who knew that one didn't have to spend $$$ to have a great cookware set that acts like you spent $$$? I originally planned on getting another high end set, but now that I have my Farberware set I truly don't feel that I need to look any further for my cookware needs. I will gladly buy more from this series if need be. I'm very, very pleased.

What prompted me to finally write a review for my 10 pc. Farberware Millennium soft touch stainless steel set? I recently finished hand washing my smaller SS skillet and was tickled to see it looking so great after so many uses. I just had to sing it's praises on Amazon.

I have owned a variety of cookware from cast-iron skillets to fancy-name porcelain pots. Almost all have frustrated me to some extent, but to be fair, I am not a "light-handed" chef in the kitchen. I thought long and hard about how to get the best value for replacements out of a limited budget. I dreamed of big-dollar brands made from stainless or copper, but I had to be reasonable. One day in desperate need for a new Teflon skillet, I noticed a Farberware Millennium non-stick on sale at a local shop, and I liked the feel of it. I took it home and liked it enough to buy an omelet pan a few weeks later. A year-plus on, I needed a more comprehensive rennovation of my cookware, and my experience and research led me to this stainless Millenium set. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The feel is substantial but not too heavy for slinging around the kitchen. Soft-Touch eases the burden, too. It heats extremely well -- quickly and evenly -- on my electric stove. I handwash the new set, but even my Teflon Millennium pans look pretty darned good after repeated dishwasher cycles in hard water. For new and experienced cooks on a budget, I strongly recommend the Millennium stainless.
