Customer Review: Worth every penny
Summary: 5 Stars
This set is worth the very low price. They are heavier than my grandmother's set of Revere, and I prefer the lids with the loop so that they can be hung on a pot rack. Food rarely sticks, and the very few times it has, it comes off within minutes by soaking with hot water. The thickness of the base really does keep food from burning if you are paying attention. They are fairly easy to keep clean, but you will need special cleaner (or serious elbow grease) to keep the bottoms up to shine. I put mine in the dishwasher for daily cleaning. Once in a while, I use Barkeeper's Friend to really shine up the stainless and copper and remove discolorations caused by hard water. The two saucepans are both a good size, but an intermediate size of 2 quarts would have been very helpful. The 3 ˝-qt. sauté pan is wonderful, although a little large for a family of two. I supplemented this set with a 2-quart sauté pan from Cuisinart (Chef's Classic Stainless, which is very similar to this set, sans the copper) - perfect for sautéing two chicken breasts. The stockpot is a great size unless you're cooking pasta for many people. The lids fit each piece perfectly. The 10" lid fits both the sauté pan and the stockpot, as well as a variety of 10" nonstick fry pans. I wish there were two of these lids included in the set, as I use it frequently.
For the money, this set is excellent. The ten-piece set would complement this eight-piece set wonderfully with little duplication (the 3-qt. saucepan, which is in use daily). The lack of open stock pieces is disappointing, but at this price you could buy several sets. No, this is not All-Clad. However, I am not a professional chef. I am just a cook, and this set works great for me.
Description of Farberware Millennium Stainless Copper Clad 8-Piece Cookware Set
With lovely fleur-de-lys detail at handle rivet points and thick aluminum bases capped in copper for fast, uniform heat distribution, the cookware in this eight-piece set is gorgeous to behold and splendid to cook with. All eight pieces are constructed of heavy-gauge, 18/10 stainless steel for rustproof durability and polished to a mirror finish for exceptional beauty. The set comprises a 1-quart saucepan with a lid, a 3-quart saucepan with a lid and a 2-quart steamer insert (the lid also fits the steamer), a 6-quart stockpot with a lid, and a 10-inch sauté pan. Tight-fitting, drop-style lids retain steam and create a self-basting effect. Cast and hand-polished stainless-steel handles are double-riveted for strength. All pieces are oven-safe to 500 degrees F and dishwasher-safe. This cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack What's in the Box
