I don't know about the Faberware, but they also have the Calaphon Commercial Anodized 12-inch Everyday Saute pan for $19.99. I've found that one a nice size and I like the short handles that let it go in the oven (some of their other frying pans have really long handles. Twenty bucks is quite a good price for it.

I have a couple of Farberware with clad bottoms that i have had for more than 25 years, and my daughter has some just like it that I bought for her at a garage sale when she was moving into her first apartment in college....and she graduated in 82.
It's the Farberware classic. I like the way the handle is attached, no rivets to get grungy and the handle is comfortable. The sides are not clad, and get pretty hot, but the bottom is good.
My good friend, Ann had 2 of rht 8 qt. stock pots and thought they were the best thing since sliced bread.
For that price....I say go for it! Don't think I would care for the fry pans, but I don't like any fry pan unless it's either non stick or cast iron of some sort...

I have both the Calphalon every day pan and the 2.5 quart covered sauce pot, and I use them quite a bit, but I really need other items.

I've gotten to the point where I don't like non-stick at all anymore except for VERY specific applications. For general cooking, I'm not enamored with non-stick anymore.

I've had mine for 20 years and they all still look like brand new. Even though they are not non-stick they clean up in a flash. Just deglaze them when cooking or let them soak for a few mins and they come out clean as a whistle. LOL
I just recently gave my set to my DS because she needed new pans; but I kind of wish I kept some of them.
Oh well, she will get good use out of them.

My MIL bought me Farberware as a wedding present 37 years ago (at the time, it was considered top-quality, at least in MIL's price bracket). The 1-, 1-1/2-, and 2-quart saucepots have been used almost every single day since then, and they are still in fine shape. I also have large and small skillets, a pot for boiling pasta (stockpot?), and a Dutch oven. They're versatile, reliable, and easy to clean (can be put in DW). Food is cooked quickly, and the pots seem to hold it at a hot temperature for a long time, even after the burner is turned off. One drawback is that they can't go in the oven. I've thought of buying some modern anodized cookware, but I really don't need to replace the Farberware. I do have a nonstick egg pan and large T-Fal skillet, but nonstick coatings eventually get scratched and the underlying metal gets rusty. Farberware lasts and lasts!

Well, I just bought it, so I'll let you all know what I think.

Thanks!

Whew.....now I don't have to be tempted!! LOL! I can never resist a bargain!

I have had a set of Farberware for 42 years. I got them when I was married. They outlasted the marriage! I have always been more than satisfied with them. I have a few additional pans, including cast iron and non-stick, but for most cooking the F-ware is fine.

Kframe, you will be happy with your purchase.

Kframe : First I have to ask does your handle relate to a K Frame 357. I always wondered???

Here is a thread from a Post, last week, It moved to number 2 Take a look . It is a different Brand.

I think the Farbre Ware is a good deal. It will wind up costing you $49.99.
I wouldn't have asked anyones opinion, on a deal like that.
Even if I only used them to make noise on New Years Eve.

Hi Robin: I've had and used both since the late 50's.
Not that brand but from a restaurant supply.

The large pot is a 12 Quart Farbre Ware, Alluminum Clad bottom. I think it was $75 at that time.
Well worth it, because I make a large batch of Spaghetti Sauce and Soup so I can freeze in portions.

It sounds like a good deal on Amazon.
I don't know what ply or weight they are but you can't go wrong with SS.
If something sticks , just soak it and it will clean easily.
I'd say go for it !!!!!

LOU Said all that !!!

Hawk,

Yes, the Smith & Wesson Model 19, .357 Magnum.

I have three of them.

I like them. :-)

K Frame: Hi Again. I'm glad you cleared that up, because I haven't heard that for awhile.
I'm chairman of the Range Committe here and we set up for the Police Qualifications.
Since they have all gone to the Glock , we don't here K Frame much anymore.

I carry a bigger stick.
