Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Farberware's 12-inch nonstick skillet is a generous 2 inches deep, allowing you to cook soupy and sloppy foods without getting them all over the stovetop. Its construction--a stainless-steel layer surrounding a thick aluminum base--ensures even heat distribution and allows you to cook most everything on low-to-medium heat (high heat should only be used for boiling or reducing liquids). The skillet and handle are oven-safe up to 500 degrees, but you'll want to use a potholder because the handle will get hot. Go ahead and use metal utensils, but not sharp ones; minor scratches shouldn't affect the pan's performance. The skillet is dishwasher-safe, but periodically needs a stainless steel cleaner to brighten up its shiny exterior. A large hole in the handle allows you to hang it from a pot rack, and it has a lifetime limited warranty. --Doree Armstrong

5.0 out of 5 stars Farberware aims to please  and surprise!, January 15, 2003

By	T. Zuckerman "weepopstar" (NJ United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I would have never thought of Farberware delivering amazing cookware, I'm relatively new to cooking, but I thought if i'm going to buy cookware, I want it to last, work well and know what i'm getting. My only piece of cookware at the time was really at Calphalon 12" Stir-Fry pan and I was planning on buying Calphalon again, until I saw an article in "Cooks Illustrated"(a magazine) which rated equipment. All-Clad was definetly out of my price range, but Farberware? It's been a few months and I use this pan at least 5 nights a week (since then I've gotten two All Clad stainless steel pieces as gifts), and it's the best. I'm holding out for the whole set now. I'm a kosher vegetarian so food tends to run the gamut - Tofu, seitan (a wheat gluten mock-meat product), Indian, Israeli, Chinese - they all cook and clean with ease. If the price was twice as much i'd still say go for it -

The only con is that farberware does not sell a cover/lid for its "Open Stock" (i.e. not in a set) pieces - I use the lid from my Calphalon Stir-fry, but a Universal 12" lid would also work.

The Millenium Non-Stick line has the price, quality and versatility of a classic. You can hand wash or run it in the dishwasher and it still looks brilliant - I can't say the same for my Calphalon or All-Clad cookware. (just remember as in all non-stick surfaces, DO NOT USE METAL UTENSILS IN THEM! YOU'LL SCRATCH THE SURFACE OFF! or Pam (i.e. canned cooking spray - it'll take the non-stick surface off).

Good Eating!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great product but a bit pricy, August 25, 2000

By A Customer

I love my Farberware Millenium Stainless Steel Nonstick cookware. I use this skillet practically everyday. It cooks food very quickly and evenly. Clean-up is so simple and easy thanks to the nonstick coating, often requiring just a paper towel. This skillet is quite durable, but you do have to take care of it because of the nonstick coating - you should not use metal utensils in it and I believe that it is really NOT recommended for the dishwasher. The metal handle is hollow so it does not get too hot during cooking. Overall, I think the quality of this product is great. The only problem is that the price is a little high. But if you are willing to pay a little more for a good product, then this is the one for you!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great all around pan, February 18, 2004

By	"tony6686" (Austin, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I got a Farberware Millennium Stainless-Steel 12-Inch Nonstick Skillet for Christmas, and it has quickly become my favorite pan. It's great for everything from stir-frying to pan frying to sauteing. The only caveat is that this pan is quite heavy. The disk bottom is quite thick, which makes for even heating and quick cooking, especially when frying in batches or stir-frying. Since I've had the pan a scant 2 months, I can't yet comment on durability of the nonstick surface. So far, it looks brand new.
