Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Functional as well as beautiful, this 2-quart saucepan is made of heavy 18/10 stainless steel polished to a mirror finish. The pan has an aluminum core in its base to spread heat quickly and evenly. The core is completely clad in stainless steel so, like the rest of the pan, the bottom resists corrosion and discoloring and cleans up easily. Thick rolled rims add durability and make it possible to pour from the pan without dripping. Because the pan comes with a domed lid that self-bastes foods it can be used for reheating a portion or two of cassoulet or macaroni and cheese on the stovetop or in the oven without drying it out. (The handles are oven-safe to 350 degrees F and stay cool on the stovetop.) The pan is dishwasher-safe and comes with a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the pot you grab..., November 17, 2001

By A Customer

I have two of these pots that I received as part of set of wedding presents and they are still going strong after all these years. I've reached for them zillions of times. A kitchen essential. They still look shiny and pretty. Also, you don't have to worry about whether you'll ruin them. I have burned so many things in the bottom of these, (my fault, not the pot's!) so that the bottoms were black, and I've always managed to get them clean (with Cameo cleanser for aluminum) and they are beautiful and shiny again! Price is a bargain too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect cookware for the young bachelor..., September 25, 2001

By	Steven Dennis (Reston, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This has got to be the deal of the century, and not only that, these pans will last you almost that long! My mother has had a set for 35 years, and I've had mine for 5. Nearly indestructible, dishwasher safe, good performers on the stovetop, with stay-cool handles! They even look great after all those years!
Keep in mind that because they are mostly stainless steel, with an aluminum bottom, Farberware does not heat up quite as fast as, say, hard-anodized aluminum such as Calphalon, which gourmets prefer. Stainless steel is a poor heat conductor, while aluminum is good and copper is the best. On the plus side, you can't put Calphalon in the dishwasher and Calphalon does not have true stay-cool handles, like Farberware.
Anyway, how often do you buy a gift knowing that it will still be around 20, 30, 40 years from now? By the way, if the pot does have a problem, they come with a Lifetime Warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Functional Pan For Daily Use, February 21, 2004

By	Robert I. Hedges - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This Farberware pan is a study in functionality. It is well made and quite rugged; it has a relatively thick bottom and heats very evenly, and has high quality, durable phenolic handles, which are securely attached and will last a long time. It also has an attachment on the handle to enable hanging from a hook.

My only critique of the pan is that it is a bit too tall relative to other two quart saucepans, and not as big in diameter as I would like, as it won't cover even the smallest burner on an electric range. That is the main reason that I gave it four stars instead of five, but I also deducted a bit for appearance: the pan is homely. I am not looking for a major style statement in my cookware, but rivals like Cuisinart have similarly priced high quality cookware that is considerably more stylish and less dowdy.

Recommended overall: will give years of good service if treated with even a modicum of care, which, in the end, is what I really want from a saucepan.
