Dear sirs,
My wife and I received four Classic Stainless Steel pots as wedding gifts, which we use and joy almost every day. Unfortunately the ends of the pot handles where they attach to the pot have cracked and subsequently are difficult to tighten. While still usable, I thought you should be aware of this weakness. OBW, we were married in 1966.
My Farberware cookware is 54+ Years old and it is time to get some new Farberware. Handles would come loose sometimes and I would use a skrewdriver to tighten Them. Farberware is a great shower gift as that is how I got mine and I do remember the people who gave it to me,
Back in 1968, I bought a set of 3-ply cookware made. (Could it have been Townecraft? Hmm)There were 3sizes of pans w lids, a Dutch oven, and a large frying pan w a lid that fit both of the last two. Maybe there were more pieces, but I can’t remember. I have made thousand of meals in them. Some were great, some were not. No fault of the cookware, but of the cook. The pans have been scrubbed and scoured, and I used my electric mixer in them all the time. So they don’t look brand new. But they still look decent and are still v workable. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another set.
My mother bought this similar series as a bridal shower gift for me 37 years ago! (Farberware was the make of her pots and pans). What a great solid brand, my set still looks and cooks like new after 37 years (I can’t believe I have been married that long)!
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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Farberware no comparison. Stainless steel cookware is far superior. Easy to clean and heats evenly. I have two teenage boys who cook daily and the quality is wonderful compared to other brands we have used. Very satisfied with the quality.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This set is extremely high quality! It fits my family's range of cooking skills; from our teen who enjoys cooking to my husband who now loves to cook with me! Food does not stick and all the pans heat up quickly. Very upscale cookware that will fit well in any kitchen!
