Customer Reviews for Farberware High Performance 17-Piece Aluminum Nonstick Cookware Set in Black

These pans are beautiful. A little thinner than I thought but definately do the job. They clean up very easy also.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Not pleased at all. Very poorly assembled. Too light weight. Cannot handle heavy cooking. Too much for seniors to pay for not useful items.

Absolutely love it.

Really pretty in person, especially when I have no cupboards so they have to sit on display and work perfect!Exactly what I was looking for!!

Love these pans!

Very solidly designed and built cookware set. You will find almost everything needed in this set to cook just about anything. We have had this over a year and the set has held up well to daily use for a family of 3. Clean up is a snap and the coating is still good after many uses. The set comes with a set of kitchen tools which are sturdy enough, but can burn if you are not careful enough. Very pleased with this set!

The kitchen set is everything I thought it would be. Great kitchen asset!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I can cook everything on it, it makes me my life easier I love it

excellent set of cookware that meets all my needs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I cooked fried potatoes and they turned out great!! Best of all I can just throw the Farberware Champagne skillet into the dishwasher!

Bought them as a gift but the person I bought them for loves them thus far.

Save your money. I had this product for a month and the "non-stick" is already coming off of 3 of my pans. I hand washed only and do not even own metal cooking utensils. I contacted Faberware and they denied my warranty claim for misuse. Save your money and choose another brand that likes to keep their customers happy!

I love these pots and pans. They have the stainless bottoms that conduct heat evenly, and the glass lids so I can watch the cooking process. They are very easy to keep clean. They are dishwasher safe, but I never wash my pots and pans in the dishwasher so I cannot say how they do. The outside color coating is beautiful and seems to keep its color very well without staining.

I have always liked Farberware so it's nice to have it in colors that match my kitchen. The nonstick surface is durable and I found that foods slide off of it easily. If cooking oil or fats are used, you only need a light coating, unless it is added for flavor. The pans heat evenly and are great for browning. They are very easy to rinse and clean. I use them on metal burners and they stay in place without sliding around, which can help to avoid accidents. The bottom construction distributes heat evenly and effectively. It has raised metal coils, which are flat. On a glass cooktop, I have found that the pans have to be lifted if you want to turn them around, which I sometimes do if I'm browning meats or sauteeing vegetables.They stay very firmly in place on a flat glass surface.

I really love this set! I have always used aqua colors in my kitchen, not just pots, so I knew I wanted to stay with that color but some of them are just too loud. So it ended up taking some time to find just the right set. I really love the color of these. They are definitely aqua, but a nice subdued aqua. The silver in the handles also classes them up quite a bit. They're very lightweight overall, but the lids have a good weight to keep the heat in. The cooking surface is very nice. I wasn't sure how I would feel about the bumps on the bottom, but it really helps so nothing sticks. The array of sizes is perfect for making anything you could want. The utensils are not the nicest, but non-stick friendly utensils are so cheap and easy to find these days that is not a huge issue. And if you didn't have any these are the core pieces you'd need to get started with anyway. I am very happy with this set. It's a very nice collection.

Everything you need to start out cooking with is here. This is a nice starter set of pots and pans for someone just getting started. The pots and pans are somewhat small but well made the handles seem secure , which is a pet peeve of mine, loose handles are dangerous, but I see no problem with these handles. Of course you will have to check them and if there is looseness you will have to tighten them up. The blue color finish looks like it will be durable and look nice for a long time. The appropriate lids fit well and over all this set will do the job of letting a cook cook. I like them.

The set is good and I’m impressed with the quality and the design. The lid fits perfectly. since its non-stick its easy to clean. overall we are pleased to have the cookware for a better quality and price. the package are good and received all the piece in good condition. the handle grip is of reasonable length. i love the pan set. This was all i needed. the color is amazing. The metal is so sturdy and very good finish. Getting an decent pan set is very important because it makes a difference during the cooking. My experience with this pan set so far is amazing. will recommend the product to my family/friends

Do people still have hope chests that they assemble over time for their daughters so they can set up house and be prepared to carry on with the next generation? Well we have and these fine pots and pans will go into our daughters hope chest. This is a comprehensive set that will be useful for about all cooking applications. Although none of the pieces are very large they will do nicely. There is a half size ( from my perspective ) cookie sheet that is pretty cute and will do well especially if you have a small apartment size oven, which we did have in our last house. Any way these are solid and appear to be well made and if your family isn't too large will be quite adequate.

I have had several sets of nonstick cookware, there is really nothing spectacular about this set. Some of the plastic utensils are surprisingly quite flimsy. I have used all of the pots, pans and even the griddle, and again there is nothing different or special about the quality of this set compared to any other decent quality set of nonstick cookware. There is a top for each piece of cookware in the set which is very nice. It's a great starter set of cookware so that you will have everything you need to prepare a meal. Set is easy to clean, with soapy water. I have put in the dishwasher, but I would not recommend it frequently.

I was in need of a new cooking/pot set. I chose this pot set as it said high performance. I like the fact that it also comes in a 17 piece set. You not only get pots but the lids too. Also included is a cookie sheet and cooking utensils. As I started cooking with this cooking/pot set I realized how how performance it is meaning that I can cook anything in it and use very little oil/butter/margarine for cooking. Nothing sticks and that makes it healthier and makes me happy. Also very easy to clean. Loving me new cooking/pot set.....smiling!

This 17 piece set was gotten to replace some of my worn out cookware. Everything was packed very good in the box. The variety of cookware is nice, although I wish there were some larger size sauce pans in the set. The only 2 are a 5 1/2" and 6 1/2" one. The 5" I like for my spaghetti sauces,but I really don't know what the little one would be good for.I enjoyed the large cooking pot when I made spaghetti. The heat distribution is excellent! I didn't know how badly wore out my old stuff was until I used this set for the first time. It's nice to have a cookie sheet included also. At first when I used the large cooking pot to boil my water for spaghetti,I realized there was no steam release on the lid like my old set, which I wasn't happy about, but once the water began to boil,I watched it and noticed the steam releases itself around the rim of the lids,which works just fine! The utensils are very nice and flexible for getting in and around the inside of pots and pans easily. Overall now that I have used this set for awhile I am quite happy with it.

This is a great set of a very durable cooking pans. Comes with everything you need to start cooking along with some extras. The are made of high quality aluminum with great sized handles and all are non stick which is a great feature. The pots and pans are great size from the frying pan to the omlet pan. There is also a square griddle pan for pancakes. Comes with utencils as well

Good product. Easy to clean, good weight and handling. Bemoaning that a deep sauté pan wasn't part of this group, but the griddle option was worth it. Will buy sauté pan separately. Very good value

I first got a set for my wedding reception back then in 1985 they were only stainless steel I love this new set with the soft color and non stick thank you. Denecia

I have a set for home and bought these for our Motorhome. Love the easy to clean.
