Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Farberware Millennium Soft Touch Stainless-Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Review: Farberware Millennium Excellent!- cleaning/cooking tips...!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a professional chef, during college.
I HAD happily used heavy gauge, aluminum, non-stick (Teflon... coated) cookware for years. I recently read "several" E-ALERTS, about "ALL" non-stick cookware being strongly linked to cancer... (do a Google search on "non-stick cookware cancer" (sans "quotes"))! BAH HUMBUG!
I proceeded to search for the best "safe" cookware-
Bare aluminum cookware is VERY UNHEALTHY!!!
Cast iron does not heat evenly, heavy, and hard to clean...
Bare stainless does not heat evenly, burns/sticks...
I already had some old Farberware "Classic" stainless cookware, with a thin/bare aluminum clad bottom. So-so!
After reading other reviews- I finally decided to purchase the Farberware "Millennium" 12 piece set. These have "Thick Clad" aluminum bases, that are stainless steel encapsulated.
What a joy- "after" some learning curves...!
Everything cooks sooo evenly, to the outer edge! Covers fit tight... Handles stay cool...! Oven safe to 400.
1. At first- Everything I cooked burned to the bottom. I now use my old normal cooking heat, with 1 to 2... less numbers..., on my GE electric range.
If what I cook, may stick- I first "season it" (wipe on a little Canola... cooking oil/PAM high temp spray, "before" I cook. If it's a "pre-heated" pan, you need to pre-heat, a little longer. I NEVER use High (overheat!)!- Warps, and abuse voids lifetime warranty! I season it "just before!" (or it will burn/stick to pan), I then quickly put the food in. Cooking/burning meat..., over 200 degrees causes carcinogens (cancer) to form!!!
2. Stainless is chemically safe "if" you don't clean it with anything too abrasive (rough scouring releases nickel... into food!- You can taste it!).
I visited the Farberware web site..., and adapted some of their their cleaning suggestions.-
The trick to easy cleanup- is to start with a very clean pan!
First I wash it normally (like non-stick cookware). I scrub it with the ScotchBrite "Dobie" non-abrasive cleaning pad. If I still detect "any" residue- Then I put some water in (1"...), with 1/4 cup of vinegar (I use white). Now I let it boil, until it appears clean (usually just a couple of minutes). Wash/scrub it again, and "TOWEL DRY!" ("air dry"- leaves mineral deposits, that food will stick too).
"Squeeky Clean", and ready to go, for the next time!
GREAT CLEANING TIP"S"!- If you have ANY burned on food (any cookware, BBQ grills...).
a. Mix baking soda in a thick hot water paste, and cover bottom. Cover..., & let stand 24hrs...
b. Mix a little water (thick paste) with Comet cleanser. Rub it on, & then put it in a sealed plastic sack/garbage bag, for 24hrs. It will then easily wash clean! Works great on ALL pans/BBQ grills!
Thank you, and I hope you found my "detailed" review to be helpful!
ENJOY! :o)
Description of Farberware Millennium Soft Touch Stainless-Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set
This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a saut? pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by saut?ing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.Cookware Sets
