These pans are not worthy of the Farberware name, unfortunately...They are far too thin -- this leads to burnt food, warping, etc. The Teflon coating is the el-cheapo kind, a far cry from the superior coating you find on Farberware's upper-end Millenium models...

These pans do not deserve the Farberware name. The thin metal will torch your food if you are not careful, and the cheap nonstick material will not last long. This gets two stars because of the low, low price.

Do yourself a favor, and instead buy one quality Calphalon Commercial Nonstick pan on sale. They aren't that much more than this set, if you look hard enough, and they last forever.

I ordered the three pack "First Course" set, supposedly a heavyweight Farberware product as I've seen in stores. I received a light weight, flimsy product called "Cook'n Ease" that was so thin you could easily burn food and warp the pan in no time. Very disappointed.

Lots of complaints on these pans. Look [at the price] what do you expect?

They are perfect for light use, I use them on camping trips over a colman stove.

if you want the handles to stay cool do not use them on high heat or you want a heavy weight pan, spend your money on All-Clad, their pans sell for $100+ for each pan and will last you forever.

With these you get what you pay for.

All in all, these Farberwares are great for light use and that is what they are designed for, or designed for people with tight or empty wallets.

Very lightweight, I don't know if that is good or bad. Judging the product based on its appearance I expected more. My empty 12 cup coffee maker weighs more than these three pans combined.
They do let you cook in them without anything sticking. Simply put, you get three basic fry pans to use without fear of losing major income if they get ruined. As with most nonstick, don't use high heat as the manufacturer indicates.

I, too, purchased the Farberware First Course set of three skillets and received the Farberware Cook 'N Ease set instead. Cook 'N Ease is [disappointing]. One pan came dented it's so thin. ...

Very thin..handles get very hot... coating was bubbling and flaking off after the first grilled cheese sandwich. I paid under 3$ after a rebate... and you get what you pay for. These shouldn't have the farberware name on them. they are to good a brand to put out such a shabby product.

It seemed that I was always needing another nonstick pan. So, I bought this set. The aluminum is thin, the pans are shallow, and lightweight, but they work well enough and are easy to clean. I can cook a lot of breakfast bacon or home fries in the the large pan. It is too big for my large coil burner and any lids that I have, yet with a little attention everything cooks nicely. The metal handles will get hot close to the pan so I hold on to the ends. Great deal for the money.

These pans were a real disappointment. True, they were inexpensive, but I only used them a couple of times before throwing them out. They didn't heat evenly and food stuck to the nonstick surface. They are incredibly lightweight. Don't waste your time and money on these.

I am not exactly sure why there have been so many negative reviews. The price is extremely cheap for 3 different pieces. If you are expecting the absolute top of the line, then you will probably be disappointed.

I have now had these pans for over 3 months and I am pleased. I use each of them anywhere between 2-3 times a week and I have had no chipping problems with the surface. I was surprised by the overall thin-ness of the pans, but it has not detracted from my cooking and I have had no problems with damage to the skillets.

If you are looking for a cheap skillet set, you could do A LOT worse than this.
