Product Description

Amazon.com Review

This budget-priced cookware set is perfect for college students or young couples who are setting up a first kitchen. The 14-piece set has everything necessary for the basic meals attempted by entry-level cooks (pasta and sauce, eggs, and anything pre-packaged). The pans in the set include four covered saucepans in 1-, 1-1/2-, 2-, and 4-1/2-quart sizes and two nonstick skillets in 9- and 10-1/2-inch sizes. The pans are accompanied by four kitchen tools: a slotted spatula, a ladle, a slotted spoon, and a pasta fork.

Made of aluminum, which is an excellent conductor of heat, these pans warm up through the bottoms and sides for even cooking. A nonstick coating on the interior and exterior of the pan reduces the need to cook with extra fats and makes cleanup fast and easy. Pans have durable, riveted phenolic handles that stay cool on the stovetop and see-through glass lids for keeping an eye on supper as it cooks. All Cook’s View cookware is oven-safe up to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and is dishwasher-safe. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Supplemental Cookware, December 8, 2003

By	Cruzegal (Delta, Pennsylvania USA) - See all my reviews

I ordered this set of Farberware "Cook's View" to supplement my expensive set of Wearever Allegro as I always seemed to be "short" a saucepan or two. The Allegro is very good, as it should be, because a complete set, with accessory pieces, cost me over $400. The entire set of Farberware "Cook's View" cost me less than $40 and has proved itself to be worth every penny. It has wonderful tempered glass lids (the Allegro does not), it fits easily on the burners (the Allegro does not, with it's huge double-handles on each piece), and it will not upset me if I forget a pan on the stove as I can replace the whole set if necessary for less than the cost of one Allegro pan! My only complaint, hardly worth mentioning, is that one of the saucepans is not properly balanced. When empty, the handle is a bit too heavy to keep the pot sitting perfectly flat on a burner. Of course, when the food is added, it is fine. For the money, you can't go wrong with this set. It's easy to clean, it's reasonably attractive, and it's price on Amazon can't be beat. Perhaps I got lucky, but when I ordered my set thru Amazon, shipping was free, AND I received a beautiful $15.00 stainless steel Farberware teakettle as a free gift---again, with no shipping charge. I am a very satisfied shopper.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great deal on budget cookware, November 26, 2003

By	Jeff Barr (Brooklyn, NY United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

First, let's start of by saying this: this set is NOT heavy-duty commercial quality cookware. It isn't advertised as such, so don't be surprised if it doesn't compare to calphalon, circulon or analon in quality, weight or durability. What it IS is an excellent value for the money. A decent pan alone will cost you as much as this entire set, so if you're on a budget and need cookware, or just something to augment you current set (there's always a time when you need another saucepan or two or skillet, but you're not going to use them everyday), this is an awesome value. They WILL scratch, especially on the outside where they might bang up against other pots and pans (the outside "nonstick" coating is no substitute for hard anodized). I've had a set of these for 5 years now, and they're starting to show their age, but are an exceptional value considering what you get for the price.

1.0 out of 5 stars Quality Assurance is a joke!, October 28, 2003

By	C. Birnbrauer "Kit Seller" (PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I reently ordered this item. Actually 2 weeks ago, and I still haven't used it. Why? Because one of the pots came scratched and when I called Farberware about it, like it states in their Quality Assurance brochure to do, they told me it was Amazon's problem. According to their brochure if you open your order and find a defect they will replace it. They don't. And when you call them to ask for a replacement they are rude and insulting. So now I have a new cookware set that I can't use until I ship the whole thing back to Amazon and get my replacement. Multiple E-mails to them have also remained unanswered. I wouldn't waste my time with Farberware since you'll obviously never get the Quality Assurance that they give.
