The pans are great and cook evenly and quickly. The bowls are fantastic; they have lids and nest together. All-in-all, I'm extremely happy with the purchase.
great brand, now cheap junk - Review written on March 27, 2008

I was given one of these sets as a gift. Nothing like the Farberware of 20 years ago. The original sets would last a lifetime, these appear cheaply made and nowhere near as substantial. I don't think they'll last. Fit and finish not as good as the original Farberware. Another great American brand trashed by Asian junk merchants. Save your money and look for new old stock on Ebay, but be sure to buy made in US only.

I purchased this set about a year ago and like it a lot. I have done a lot of research on cookware since I am a chef and want the best of the best, but cannot afford it for my home all of the time. I use the saucepans and saute pans more than anything else and have not had any problem with them at all. If you purchase this set and cook for more than two, I recommend purchasing a 14in skillet and 4qt saucepan because the saute pans and saucepans that come in the set are not big enough, but are good for small things. Do your homework and research products, but I can tell you that this set is the best deal you will find.

I've used Classis Farberware for many years and just decided to get a new set. This is a fantastic starter set if you've never had Farberware before, or great add-ons to existing set. Great deal at this price - highly recommended.
Over 25 Yrs. of use, and no need to replace - Review written on November 23, 2007

I'm now 25 yrs. old... and am looking for a nice, affordable, cookware set in the case that my roomates, who own all of the pots and pans I use, move out :) I put a few sets on my wish list on Amazon... thinking maybe my mom would purchase one for an my Bday or Christmas coming up (hehe). After adding two sets (a Faberware and a Kitchen Aid) I decided to look at the pots that I grew up with... b/c, they are easy to clean, they've lasted longer than I've been alive (not quite sure how long my mom has owned this set) and they cook great. I looked for the stainless steel set, and here it is... and it looks just the same as the ones in my mom's cupboards! I would highly recommend this set. As I said... we've been using it for over 25 years, and it has held up beautifully.

Easy to clean, they heat evenly, and the handles do not become hot.

So far no complaints with this Farberware set. When I first got it, the handles appeared a little lightweight, but they haven't presented any problems. The non-stick saucepans have been terrific to cook with and all pieces are easy to clean and sturdy. This was a fantastic deal for how many pieces came in the set. Would recommend.

My wife loves cooking and I bought this set as a gift for her to replace her aging Tefal. She loves this set. It cooks well, looks great and cleans up well. She especially likes the 3 covered bowls for putting left overs in the fridge. The larger of the two saucepans is still on the smallish side and I am going to get the Faberware Classic 10" fry pan as an addon. If she loves it and I get to keep out the doghouse for a while its worth it to me :)

I've had the same Farberware Cookware set for almost 30 years, and it is finally showing wear, which is why I wanted to replace it. It's been a couple months since I received my new Farberware, and while shinier than the old (of course), it doesn't seem as sturdy, nor does it seem to wear as well. It is already showing signs of wear :(

i won't be using this cookware set for a few years yet but from the looks of the pots n pans, i think they will be very useful n will last for a good while. my sis-in-law uses farberware n it works very well for her. the price is affordable n it's better to buy these things in a bulk rather than one pot n pan at a time. Perfect!

Very good piece of kitchen equipment. Very well built, durable and easily manageable. I do wish some of the pieces were a little larger because we are a large family, but they are sufficient for any average family. I would recommend to anyone.

I love this cookware! I had to leave my old kitchen things behind when I moved suddenly last fall due to illness and had gotten some cheap crud at Wal-Mart. BIG MISTAKE. After just 5 months it was a mess, so I went looking at Amazon, Target, and a bunch of other sites. This set was the best bargain and the highest quality I could afford and I could not be much happier with it. The bottoms are heavy and not only retain heat but distribute it evenly. I've only scorched one dish since getting the set and that was my fault, not the cookware. I will be adding other pieces from this line to my collection. Recommended.

I am satisfied with this set of cookware. However, the information on the website was somewhat misleading. Only the fry pans are non-stick. I would have definitely preferred a set with non-stick surfaces on all of the cookware.

I really like the mixing bowls with lids.

This set is great and the mixing bowls are as great as the set and there are and there are actually 16 pieces if you include 6 pc mixing bowl set along with 4 pans (with lids) and 2 open frypans. Other commenter doesn't know how to count!

This set is really nice but the pots are wide they are just deep. Its hard for me to cook certain things because I cant fit eveything in them. They are a nice quality though. In fact they are the best set that I have ever purchased.

We really love these pans. The quality seems excellent and they heat very even. I didn't realize how bad our current pans were until I got these.

However, be very careful with the rebate. It's only 21 days from the date of purchase. So if it takes 2 weeks to arrive, you have 7 days to get that sucker in the mail or they will reject it. I'm so sick of companies doing everything they can to deny people from a legitimate rebate.

I originially purchased this set because the price was right and I needed a cookware set in a hurry. I'm very pleased that I did. I have never used Farberware pieces before. What a nice surprise. The weight of the pans are just right, I don't have to worry anymore about buring my hand grabbing the handles. Best of all, I have even cooking of my food, no hot spots in the pans. The teflon coated frying pans are wonderful.

The best cookware ever - Review written on December 29, 2006

I have owned several sets of cookware during my 30 year cooking career, including Revere Ware, which I used to think was the best, and Teflon coated aluminum pots and pans, which I thought was a great idea until the Teflon started to peel. I finally went back to stainless steel, with the thick aluminum bottoms in this set. What I actually ended up doing was to combine two different sets in order to get what I really wanted. I got the big stock pot, the double boiler, dutch oven, 5 qt. 3 qt. and two 2 qt. pans, which fit perfectly on the different size burners on my smoothtop stove. I ended up selling the extra pans I didn't need in a garage sale. I also purchased the 12 in. square-sided skillet, which is great for sauteing and frying big meals for our family of seven. I love the durability and hardiness of these pans. The steel-clad aluminum bottoms work well to make for a heavy-bottomed, even-heating pan. I have burned a few meals over the years, and even though the stainless steel discolors, it doesn't warp, and scrubbing hard with stainless steel wool gets it clean. I do my best to keep the outsides clean, and they still look great. I can easily see myself using these pans the rest of my life, and passing them on to my descendants!

I'll tell you what, these were a fantastic deal. If I purchased them individually, I don't know how much they'd be. They're great quality. I bought them because I had one small pot which I received as a wedding gift 30 years ago and loved it. Years ago I went to get another and it was $12. and I thought it was too much. Now I have this whole set. I'm thrilled.

I am very happy with the set. The pots and pans are strong and clean easily, and the set comes with an added bonus of having 3 metal bowls in different sizes that have corresponding plastic covers. The price was great. This was a great purchase.

My mother has had a Farberware stainless-steel cookware set for many years and it is in excellent shape after extensive use. This set has a large soup pot that is a perfect size for large batches of chili during the cold winter. I love my set.

The quality of this set is very poor, especially the non stick pans. I have to exchange it because of one of the non stick pans came with scratched coating. However, the new package also has one non-stick pan scratched. VERY FRAUSTRATED.
