Farberware Accents 10-Piece Cookware Set, Silver Review

Farberware Accents 10-Piece Cookware Set, Silver
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a good starter set, but if you cook very much I'd go with a higher quality set. When we received this set one pan was uneven and would gently rock back and forth when boiling water (we have a flat ceramic stove top; maybe it doesn't do this on a conventional stove). I use wooden utensils when cooking, hand wash them with a sponge, and let them air dry. However, even with this care the nonstick coating still comes off more than I would have expected. The pans are of a decent weight...not too heavy, not too flimsy. The glass lids are nice (but they do make a popping sound as food is cooking), and the built in strainers are very handy for straining vegetables and large pasta. For the money, they're a great deal, but if you cook much or are wanting a set to last a long time I'd suggest a higher quality brand. I'm going to try this set: Cuisinart Chef's Classic Stainless 10-Piece Cookware Set It got great reviews in Cook's Illustrated.

Stylishly designed and an exceptional value to boot, the Farberware Accents 10-piece nonstick cookware set in silver comes complete with the pans you'll use the most in your kitchen. This set includes 1-, 1-1/2- and 2-quart saucepans (each with a lid), 5-quart Dutch oven (with lid), and 7- and 10-inch open skillets.
The saucepans are great for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, while the Dutch oven is ideal for both braising meats and simmering soups and stews. And the skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. Constructed from aluminum to ensure consistent heat-transfer, the exterior of each pan is finished with a durable, brightly colored coating that's both attractive and easy to clean. The pans feature a scratch-resistant nonstick surface that makes clean-up a breeze and promotes healthier cooking with less oil. The durably riveted stainless steel handles are complemented by comfortable silicone thumb rests.
The glass lids allow you to monitor cooking without losing moisture or nutrients. And the lids for the saucepans also feature Farberware's clever straining-skirt that allows food to be drained quickly and safely with just a twist of the stay-cool silicone-enhanced handle. They're oven safe to 350 degrees F. Dishwasher safe. Limited lifetime warranty.
What's in the Box 1-, 1-1/2- and 2-quart covered saucepans, 5-quart covered Dutch oven, 7- and 10-inch open skillets

This Farberware Classic 5-Quart Covered Buffet Casserole is the best roasting pan I have ever used in my 38 years of cooking. The cover helps to keep the foods hot and moist. I am so pleased with it I bought 2 more for my daughters. This casserole pan cooks food perfectly, presents the food beautifully on the dining table and washes like new either by hand or dishwasher. I think I'll buy another just in case.

OXO Good Grips Click Click Tea Kettle, Brushed Stainless Review

OXO Good Grips Click Click Tea Kettle, Brushed Stainless
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I usually love Oxo products, and own many different ones, from utensils to bowls to graters, etc. So when we registered for wedding gifts, we immediately looked at Oxo kettles, expecting the same good performance.
Unfortunately, this kettle has a major design flaw that is causing us to return it. About the tenth time we used the kettle, the knob came right off of the lid. When we inspected it, it is apparent that the knob was bound to detach eventually, and it cannot be reattached! Instead of being screwed on with metal, the knob is plastic throughout, and is just sort of 'stuck' onto the metal dowel that sticks up out of the lid. So there are no threads to keep it in place. With all the force that is needed to pull up on the lid to open the kettle for filling, the plastic just wears away (little black plastic shreds came off with the knob). And like I said, this was only the tenth time we'd used it.
The other three models (shown on the Oxo website) have a handle rather than a knob, so hopefully they are better designed. We will be returning this and looking at other brands.

Farberware Millennium Soft Touch 12-Piece Cookware Set Review

Farberware Millennium Soft Touch 12-Piece Cookware Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been looking for a set to suppliment my Cuisinart set (3+years) for a while. After looking at samples at Target, I have decided on the Farberware Millennium and one day Amazon had a great price.
Right now Farberware is selling at $129 and Cuisinart 10 pieces at $109 with a muffan pan and tool set rebate.
Both are great sets, but here's the difference.
Farberware's silicone wrapped handle feels better than Cusinart, although cusinart's handle does not heat up in cooking either.
Farberware's lid, again with wrapped handle, is definitely better than Cusinart's. Both lids heat up and you will appreciate the silicone wrap.
Cuisinart has a great mirror finish inside and out; Farberware's finish outside is not as brilliant, inside is almost a matte finish.
Stainless steel is not truely non-stick. The better you keep the mirror finish, the more stick resistant they are. I've had the Cusinart for a long time and it held up really well (no abrasive cleaning). I may have to come back and update you on the non-stick nature of Farberware, but so far so good.
The Farberware Millennium is more modern and expensive looking especially with the graphite colored silicone handles. The Millennium' edges also fare better because they are more rounded and your dishwasher will be happier with it.
If they are selling at the same price, I'd go for Farberware Millennium.

Farberware 50049 Classic Stainless Steel 15-Piece Cookware Set Review

Farberware 50049 Classic Stainless Steel 15-Piece Cookware Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We're happy with our 20-year-old Farberware stainless steel cookware, pre-dating the stainless steel capped base. The interiors are still like new. The lids are shiny and dent-free. The handles are faded, but remain tight with an occasional turn of a screw. We use it everyday.
We are equally pleased with the newer "Classic" pieces, especially with the added weight and improved appearance of the capped bases. We bought the 15-piece set, giving us some redundant pieces but at a better price than buying fewer pieces individually.
We like stainless steel for several reasons: It cooks well. We can use metal utensils. It lasts for decades. It's dishwasher safe without consequence. It looks good. It's heavy enough. It cleans up easily. (For occasional stuck on food, we simply blot out what's loose, add water, and bring to a boil. After a few seconds, the stuck on food wipes off easily.)
There's pricier cookware available, some with aluminum cores that extend up the sides of the pan, some with copper clad bases, some with handles rated to 500 degrees, some made of anodized aluminum, and some so heavy you can use it as part of your fitness program. After years of no-complaints with our Farberware Classic stainless steel, we can't see paying the premium prices for anything else. We don't use our cookware in the oven, so we're okay with our 350-degree handles.
One complaint with the set: The non-stick skillets are 100% ALUMINUM with a PLAIN exterior and NO heavy base cap. Per Farberware's own website (caps added for emphasis): "Aluminum stains easily and reacts with certain foods. A nonstick interior and PORCELAIN OR NONSTICK EXTERIOR prevents staining and food reaction. Nonstick aluminum is dishwasher safe. A PLAIN AUMINUM EXTERIOR may discolor in the dishwasher."
We use stainless steel for most of our cooking, but still prefer non-stick skillets for some things. We'd like the skillets in this set better if they at least had an exterior finish on them.
Follow-up: We gave away the aluminum skillets from this set and bought a set of Cuisinart stainless steel non-stick skillets to use alongside our collection of Farberware stainless steel.

Farberware Classic 5/8-Quart Butter Warmer Review

Average Reviews:

Perfect! This is of course good to warm butter or make a little bitty sauce - but who does that every day? We use it to heat the cream for our coffee, reheat the cold tea or soup, and make real hot chocolate last thing at night. Good balance on the stove and cleans up easy. Cute too!

This little pot is perfectly designed for the melting and pouring of butter, or maybe chocolate sauce...It has a nicely weighted base, so unlike most mini saucepans this one doesn't tip over, even when empty. The even heating across the bottom ensures smooth melting and the spout enables you to pour neatly.

Farberware 20772 Enhanced 10-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set Review

Farberware 20772 Enhanced 10-Piece Nonstick Cookware Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
PROS:
-Non-stick works really well; there is hardly any sauce left in the pot/pan after you simply pour it out.
-The handles do not get hot.
-Lids fit well and are very high-quality.
CONS:
-Scratches easily.
-The bottom of the pots and pans are ribbed and hard to clean.
-We used the pans on a gas stove, and the non-stick wore off in approximately a year (not due to scratches but probably due to the heat). We are looking for a new set of longer-lasting cookware.

Farberware Classic Stainless Steel 17-Piece Cookware Set Review

Farberware Classic Stainless Steel 17-Piece Cookware Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I had put these on my wish list as a future splurge and was surprised and pleased when my hubbie bought them for me for my birthday last month! (LOVE that other folks can see my wish list!) I have owned Farberware before, but, only one or two pans...after twenty years or so, a handle had loosened, a pan lid was missing, etc. but they were still going strong! I don't think you can get a better quality of cookware at this price! (I had looked at other brands of aluminum clad stainless steel cookware and found they were HUNDREDS of dollars!) I have a ceramic cooktop and have found that many of the pots and pans I've tried have warped immediately and were instantly useless on the ceramic top (where things have to be perfectly flat to work). Not so with these pots and pans! They stay flat and heat up quickly. This set has a nice variety of sizes (my only complaint is that it doesn't contain a 6 quart stock pot). The lids fit well and the pots and pans have wonderful rings on the handles that allow hanging on any pot rack! The skillets are small, but, really good (the non-stick surface is thick and the pans heat up well and clean up easily). The set also came with three stainless bowls with plastic covers (perfect for chilling cookie dough), also with rings for hanging. I am pleasantly surprised as well by the baking pan. I usually use glass, but, my lemon bars baked up very nicely in this pan. The cookie sheet, though extremely small, is also impressive. It doesn't warp under high heat and I have used it for making garlic toast and as a pan under pies and breads with no problem. In fact, I plan to put Farberware cookie sheets on my wish list next! If you a looking to replace pots and pans, or, want to give someone you love a much appreciated gift that will last for years and years, I recommend this wonderful set!

Farberware 50123 Classic Tiburon 2-1/2-Quart Whistling Stainless-Steel Teakettle Review

Farberware 50123 Classic Tiburon 2-1/2-Quart Whistling Stainless-Steel Teakettle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've searched a long time for a decent teakettle. I actually drink a lot of tea, and have been through about 8 teakettles looking for one that I could love. I've found it! This teakettle has a cute little design (the flared bottom) that is also very practical. It covers more surface area, so it boils faster - and it really does. I've always hated the whistle on teapots, and usually find myself tripping over the cats on my way to grab the kettle off the stove because I couldn't handle the noise. This whistle is nice and gentle, it doesn't make me jump out of my skin, and my husband can sleep through it. I haven't experienced the diminished whistle mentioned in other reviews. The handle is comfortable from whichever position you grab it, and high enough so that you aren't burning yourself when you grab it, you can get the lid off easily, and since your hand isn't right over the spout, no danger of steam burns.
The only thing I would recommend is flipping the cover open before you pick up the kettle - it's slightly awkward until you get used to it.
When I was ready to buy a new teapot, I was prepared to spend a lot of money to finally get a decent one. I didn't need to - this economical find has everything I was looking for. I've actually purchased three - one for me, one for my sister-in-law, and one for my mother. We're all very happy!
