I've had these skillets for a year now and they've gotten nearly daily use. They have performed exceptionally. I've had absolutely no problem with hot handles. The nonstick surface works wonderfully. I highly recommend these.
Great pans. Really non-stick. - Review written on September 23, 2007

I am not a great cook, and always used to manage sticking something to the pans i used before. i got this in Friday Only Sale @ amazon for 8.99. Great value for money, and above all it is really non-stick. Handle is great, and doesn't become too hot. I wish they had 12'inch pan as well in this. Red color looks awesome. i love these pans. Even after using it for a yr, its just like new.

I liked my set so much, I ordered another set as a gift. These are sturdy, "even" heating skillets, as well as easy to clean. I wish all my cooking wares were Farberware!

THESE ARE PRETTY GOOD SKILLETS, THEY ARE A LITTLE THICKER THEN THE CHEAPER ONES YOU BUY THAT DON'T LAST, HOWEVER, THEY WILL BURN THE ITEM IF YOU DO NOT KEEP THE FIRE LOW OR BURNER ON LOW.

I am very pleased with these two frying pans. I truly use them daily and the quality is wonderful. Exactly what you would expect from Farberware. I have gotten two more sets...one for my daughter and one for my daughter-in-law

I wish I could give this product 10 stars!! I bought these two skillets as a set for 7.99 and got two very high-quality skillets that I absolutely love to use!!! I am still shocked I got such a deal on them; kitchenware is so expensive these days. I got them in red and they are absolutely gorgeous. I love using them and would recommend them to anyone!!! I might buy more just because.

I've had these for about six months now. I use them a couple times a week and you wouldn't think they've been used at all. I hand wash (I do to all my pots/pans) and only use rubber or plastic spatulas to keep them in good shape.
They heat well and food doesn't stick. I would definitely buy again!

We've owned these now over 6 months and they're still like new. They tend to be the first skillet you reach for when cooking something. Easy cleanup too. Hard to believe you get two nice skillets like this for so cheap. Very satisfied.

I bought these last year when there was an awesome deal on them. There was a $5 rebate which made them even better. I love red and I just had to have these pans! They are a good weight and lay flat on my stove top. I do have other Farberware that don't. The non-stick surface has held up really well. They do clean up very easily. The color/finish on the outside including the bottom has not came off either. I am very impressed with these pans especially for the very low price I paid for them.
A nice set of pans for the price - Review written on May 30, 2007

Rating: 4 out of 5

These have been great pans so far. They cook evenly, clean up easily and they lie perfectly flat on my flat-top stove. The only thing I didn't care for (which I never thought of before purchasing) is that the bolts to hold the handles are seen on the inside of the pan. For things like scrambled eggs, this takes an extra second or two to clean around the crevices. This is minor however and I would purcase these same pans again at an inexpensive price.

Great quality! - Have been using them regularly for the past six months and are still as good as new. Nonstick coatings in wonderful conditon too! Sizes are also perfect and cleaning them is extremely easy.
Unbeatable price! - Best $8 I have ever spent! (Was also eligible for Free Shipping)
Would definitely recommend it!

These pans are handle heavy. While empty they almost wont stay seated on the range without help.
They are incredibly cheap though, and the non-stick performance is pretty good.

These are the best skillets we've ever used. We've had them for several months, and they are used almost daily and have held up extremely well. They feel substantial and heating is even. Would buy more of these.

Got this set for a great price! Good quality, heavy with solid handle attachment-- I can't stand pots/pans that develop a loose handle. No complaints.

I purchased 4 sets of these pans when they were on sale and they were well worth the money I paid plus some! Very heavy and durable. Made for great gifts. Make sure you use wood or silicone when you are using them...

I noticed any time an item (whether it be these pans or a popular book) sells a decent amount of copies/items, the price tends to go up dramatically. Way to ruin it for a lot of other people, Amazon.

Waited 8 weeks for them to arrive only to have them damaged in shipping. The second set arrived within a week of my complaint and they are great. Worth the money.

I have been pleased with the appearance and the performance of these skillets. I really did not expect them to be as well made as they are and to work as well as they do....given such a wonderful low price.
However, I am so happy that I decided to purchase these. I have absolutely no complaints and would definitely recommend them to everyone in need of low priced but well made performing skillets.

The set of two skillets satisfys me very much. The metal is very solid, with a well-proportioned coat which is not easy to damage.
Both skillets are very useful in several conditions. I like them!

Have only had these pans for just a short while, you cannot beat the price of these that alone deserves 5 stars. But I'm subtracting 1 because when I make scrambled eggs, the egg gets stuck on the metal rivets that aren't coated with nonstick inside the pan. I decided on these pans because of customer reviews, consumer reports rated nicely & I was sick of cleaning scrambled eggs off my regular pans. If the rivets were coated with nonstick too I would give 5 stars. Nice even heat, comfortable handles, light but sturdy. Washup is like a breeze, cleanup simple just the way I like it.

I absolutely LOVE these skillets. The nonstick is awesome. They are heavy, and just impressive considering the price. I'd give these an A+, highly recommend you buy these. Great to cook scrambled eggs in or a hamburger or two. A must buy!

The skillets were used as soon as I got them and I am very satisfied with them. Both skillets cook evenly all over and the food just slides out. The 8" and 10" skillets are fine for 1 or 2 people but there are 6 of us so we need larger ones. My skillets are a beautiful shade of red. Since my last ones were black the change to red is wonderful. I highly recommend the Farberware Select set.

The skillets are very nice quality. The handle is a little heavy for the smaller skillet; so you have to be sure to set it squarely on the burner or it will tip.
Smaller Than They Appear - Review written on February 21, 2007

I'm glad I got these. The price was really good and so I think you're getting a really good value here.
I've used the large skillet several times and I think the construction is as good as it looks in the picture. That is, the handle is pretty nice, and the bottom of the skillet is nice and thick and feels sturdy. The non-stick seems durable.

What you should know, is that 8" and 10" are the outer diameters of the skillets, and the skillets are pretty shallow. So even the large skillet isn't that big. If you try and make a stir fry for 2 adults using the large skillet, it will work, but you'll have to be careful not to flip food out while moving the food around with your spatula.

In conclusion...it's a great value, and great skillets to have in your repertoire. But, if you're like me, you'll also want a real big skillet or wok in your collection.
great non-stick skillets - Review written on February 20, 2007

Rating: 5 out of 5

In need of a non-stick skillet I was attracted to this product because of the price and being name brand. After seeing the price I proceeded to find a different color but noticed other colors were more expensive. Because of the price of this product I decided not to be so picky and chose the cheaper red model. It is perfect for cooking foods that require a great deal of fat in order NOT to stick. Eliminates the need entirely.

These little pans are great! They are well constructed with easy grip handles. I use the larger one every day and it has yet to have anything stick. I have had this set for about 2 months. If you can get these at the bargain price of $7.99 like I did, you will be more than pleased. That price is a steal! I highly recommend this pan set.

These are wonderful pans for small to medium range top needs. They are a nice weight, solid non-stick surface and come in attractive colors!! It was a bargain. I wished that I had bought 2 sets!
