Farberware Millennium 10-Piece Stainless Steel Cookware Set - Pots and Pans for Professional Cooking, Boiling, Frying & Baking - Perfect for Home Chefs & Kitchen Enthusiasts

The cookware is wonderful for a budget priced cookware that measures up to the expensive sets I believe. The only negative is the handle on the small saucepan should have been anchored higher on the side of the pan because it will tilt over when empty. Farberware SS Cookware was my Bridal Shower gift in 1960 and served me well all those decades. Life change and new beginning with trusted Farberware once again.The handles on the kids get very hot. Otherwise good value for the money.We had to get brand new pots and pans for our new induction range and this set is perfect for the two of us.After finding out how bad non stick pans are for you, we got rid of ours and replaced them all with these. They definitely aren't non stick but they are good quality and work really well!I am giving these pots 3 stars because I burned my fingers... I made a big pot of soup, of course it was cooking for awhile. I went to open the lid and the the handle gets just as hot as the pot! WTF? I have never had a pot like that in my life!They are very good looking and they stay warm fora long time.I have an in-home meal preparation service so these pans get used A LOT. On a busy day I prepare 16 meals using this kit. I've been through a few sets over the last few years, but each one lasts a good 6-8 months. They work very well for a cookware set at this price point.I purchased this set of millennium stainless steel nonstick cookware to update/supplement my existing cookware, which had dwindled down to the last several pieces remaining from the same exact 10 piece Farberware set of the same variety, given to me over two decades ago as a housewarming gift for my first place when I moved away from home after graduating high school. Honestly, the only reasons I needed to replace components of the first set can be boiled down to youth and inexperience: some pieces were lost and one piece was damaged by the kind of abuse that a pan could only suffer at the hands of an unsupervised novice cook.My new set arrived glistening, well-packed, in pristine condition, and ready for action. Very little has changed in the design over 20 years, which means the new set can be easily blended with old; the old lids fit the new pans perfectly and vice versa. Faberware’s consistency also rings true for quality, as each piece is thoughtfully designed, well-constructed from solid materials, cooks evenly, cleans-up with ease, and displays nicely when in use and when racked. Guests who watch me cook almost always compliment my pans and those who use the pans themselves compliment them without fail.Addressing common complaints from negative reviews, these are like any other objects one can own - they require proper care for longevity. Read the instructions and warnings that come in the box. Common sense and I both recommend hand washing with soft sponge/dishrag only (no Brillo, etc), towel drying. Because low cupboards are places where so much is stored but so little patience is afforded, storing cookware on a rack is a great way to avoid clutter from banging them up. Also, despite what the video may say, metal utensils should never be used with nonstick cookware. This is a beautiful investment for any kitchen and a practical choice for every day use. Seeing my new and old pieces side-by-side shows how very well these pots, pans, and lids stand the test of time and explains why I’m unlikely to ever need to purchase another set of cookware for domestic purposes again. Highly satisfied.I have used this cookware. It is very nice looking, heavy enough to retain heat, lids fit well.The inside finish is more like a brushed finish, unlike farberware I had in the '70's. They clean up well. Food doesn't necessarily stick, but the inside of two of the pans I've used have discolored on the inside after cooking meat.I had some very expensive waterless stainless steel cookware that also discolored from cooking beans and also spaghetti sauce. They were more polished on the inside too.The discoloration doesn't bother me. It doesn't effect the results of the finished item cooked.These new pans seem to be well made, they are heavier than other cookware I looked at before I bought this. I like the fact that it can go into the oven (even the glass lids to a lower degree than the pans).I do like to see things I buy. See, touch, feel, feel the weight, texture etc., but for the price, I took a chance. I knew if I didn't care for the set that I could easily return it to Amazon.This set came at an excellent price.It does a very good job, it's nice looking and well made.I'm happy with my purchase. The discoloration doesn't bother me. It happens sometimes. Doesn't effect the outcome of the meal. Chemical reactions can occur with any cookware. So, for the price, I'm just going to use and enjoy this cookware.I like the 1 and 2-quart pots and lids. I'm hoping I can find a 3-quart pot with lid to match. There is a 3-quart deep skillet with lid included in the set. I haven't used it or the 5-qt. stock pot with lid yet.Son excelentes muy recomendadas . Lo único que pudieran mejorar es en poner un agujero de liberación de vapor, pues eso hace que se tiren un poco los líquidos por el calor . Por lo demás , son muy gruesas y de buen tamaño para una familia de 4, no se manchan y sabiendo usarlas no se pega nada . Volvería a comprarlas y las recomiendo mucho . Son muy bonitas .Got these because we got a new induction stove. These work great, look nice... had them for a month now and no issuesYa tengo un buen tiempo usando la batería y me ha gustado muchísimo. No es antiadherente ya que es de acero inoxidable sin teflón.Pero un tip que me parece muy importante es que la darten debe estar muy caliente para optimizar su uso al cocinar alimentos que son propensos a pegarse. Aunque definitivamente unos huevos estrellados no podrían hacer.Recomiendo ampliamente estos sartenes.I regret buying this set. They look elegant and they are expensive. However, whatever I cook sticks and burns, keeping greasy brown and black stains hard to remove. They are not unsticky AT ALL even for a first meal you cook after you open the box! I bought pans much cheaper that this set and it works great! Waste of moneyHave only used these for a couple of weeks. This is a set to replace cookware that I bought 30 years ago (same brand). I'm not a fan of the glass lids. I find that some of the handles (solid handles, not hollow like the previous design) can get hot. As others have mentioned, I think that not having a 3 quart/litre saucepan is a flaw - would much rather have this than the small frying pan. That being said, I prefer stainless to painted aluminum, and I think the price point is quite fair, as long as the nonstick coating is durable. I haven't had any quality issues at this time.
