45-year old set - STILL GREAT
I bought 2 sets in April 1976. Great pans. I use them every day. It is now May 2021! The only problem I ever had was that the 12" skillet bottom eventually became wobbly and couldn't use on my ceramic top stove.

    Stainless or not?
    Ive only used my pots a few times since January and the inside looks damage from the hot food. They are not easy to clean and I wash them by hand. I use to have a nonstick cheaper set of this brand and it lastest for several years. This classic was more expensive and in my opinion is not the best.

    Thank you for your review, and we're sorry to hear about your cookware. Occasionally stainless steel may exhibit a rainbow-like discoloration. This discoloration is normal for new stainless steel product. Such discoloration may also take place if the product is exposed to higher temperatures. As long as the product has not been overheated, this rainbow-like discoloration should be easy to remove. To remove, use Bar Keepers Friend® cleanser and a soft, nonabrasive sponge. Be sure to rinse thoroughly as cleansers can leave a powdery residue. Lemon juice will remove the 'rainbow' effect as well.
      Pots and pans
      I love this cookware, I am looking now to replace a set that I have used for over 40 yrs . A set I received as a wedding gift They have finally started to crack between the the side and bottom but I definitely have gotten my monies worth So Thank you I'm hoping have the same success with the new Set

          Don't buy!
          I purchased this set of cookware 3 months ago and I threw it out this morning. After using the 1 qt saucepan a couple of times it developed black spots on the inside of the pot. I will never purchase this brand agai. It is pure junk and a waste of money.

            Hope It Lasts Forever
            I received a set of Farberware pots and pans as a wedding present in 1981. The marriage didn't last, but I still have the entire set of Farberware. This recent purchase is a Christmas gift for my daughter. I'm hoping she'll be able to use her set for the next 40+ years!

            Disappointed
            I've had Farberware for 30 yrs. I swore by it. I gave it to my son when he moved out on his own. I replaced it with this particular set. This set is identical to what I had. This set is horrible. I've had it for some time now, and I'm very disappointed in the quality. It's discolored, it doesn't clean up well like my old set did. I really have to scrub where I didn't have too before. Don't know what you're doing different, but the quality has gone downhill.

                Great pots but ..
                I purchased this set and love them but....the knob fell off one of the pots. There is no way to screw it back on . I always wash them by hand . I am very disappointed... I waited a long time to purchase these . Now I have a useless lid and the other lids are too big or too small .

                  Grandma to the rescue!
                  This is a gift for granddaughter who is in college and will be renting an apartment. She loves to cook her own meals and admired my Farberware and wished she had a set. Now she does.

                  The frying pans are not good for electric cooktops
                  I recently bought a new electric cooktop, so happy to finally get one that wasn’t scratched as was the one I inherited when we bought our home years back, Figured getting this set was ideal to keep it from getting scratched. All the pots were great, no issue. But the frying pans with those swirls on the bottom surface did a number on my cooktop. I wanted to cry. I should have known better. They were not smooth like the other pots. I removed them right away after waxing and polishing and hoping to get the scratches out of my brand new cooktop. When buying on line it is so important that you post pictures of the bottom of the pot for those of us who have electric cooktops. Electric cooktops are just such a pain, never had to worry on a gas range, could use any pot or frying pan. I also bought a griddle that I can’t use either, has the same bottom surface.

                    Great pot for an electric cooktop.
                    This is the perfect pot set for an electric cooktop. The bottom of the pots are flat as a pancake, which means that the heat will be disbursed evenly and you wont scratch the cooktop. The pot sizes are perfect, I bought a few other pots in the series to complete my set. Using the right cookware on an electric cooktop is imperative to cooking ease. Love these pots!

                    My only regret is I hesitated to buy them sooner!
                    I bought these pots for my brand new electric cooktop and I purchased a few other “Classic” pieces and they are awesome. They are sturdy and I am sure will last a very long time. The bottoms are flat as a pancake which is so important for an electric cooktop. The heat is evenly distributed which makes cooking quicker. A really good value for the price, it can’t be beat. I just love these pots. Told my Mom and Sister about them and they bought them too.

                      Great
                      I have a set of these my mother bought for me for a shower gift in 1977. They still looks as good as new. If these are the same as they were back then I'm sure my daughter will enjoy them also. I cant say enough good about them. My mother had a set also and they were much older than mine.

                        Love Story for over 50 years with Farberware
                        I received my first set of Farberware in 1966 for a wedding gift - Have enjoyed using it for over 50 Years- however, it was time to purchase some new cook ware - I didn’t hesitate to go with what had been a lifelong success story - Albeit the steel seems lighter than my old Farberware I am still happy to have this product available to me.

                          We bought this brand in 1979 when we got married. We bought the same thing over 40 years later.

                          Love this cookware. I have been a consumer of Farberware cookware for approximately 50 years, but it was now time to replace my old set. Thank you for making an incredible product that is very affordable.

                          Great quality. It’s my 2nd set. I gave the first set to my son.The only thing I would do differently is buy the set w/ clear lids, which was on backorder.

                          I have had my Farberware pans since 1966. I still use them every day. I love how they are easy to take care of. I would recommend them to anyone.

                            Last cookware you will ever buy
                            Bought this set of stainless steel cookware in 1974. Still use it every day. Looks like new. Will never buy anything else. Guests are amazed my set is 47 years old. They think I just purchased it. Bought sets for each of my4 children. Didn’t want them eating Teflon.

                              Ageless!
                              Received a full set of 10 for a wedding shower gift in 1975. Cooked thousand meals in them. Never put in dishwasher used Brillo pads etc to scrub when needed and still shiny and bright as the first day out of the box! Wouldn’t replace them for any other modern product! Well done Faberware ! Keep up the great work!

                                The best pots ever
                                These traditional pots have been the same for decades! My set is over 50 years old and I just bought a set for my daughter for Christmas. Quality is the absolute best! If something sticks to the bottom of the pot, just soak it for a while and use a scrubby pad, it will all come off!!! Better than any nonstick pots on the market!!!
