Farberware Classic Series Stainless Steel Saute Pan with Lid, 2.75 Qt

The 4-Quart saucepot with double handles is lightweight and perfect for making popcorn on the stove top which is how I remember my mother making popcorn for the family. With so many reports of microwave popcorn being unhealthy my doctor suggested stove top popcorn as a healthy snack without the chemicals so I went on a search to find a light weight cook pot that would allow me (a senior with arthritic hands) to be able to lift and shake the pot while cooking to distribute the kernels as they pop. I was pleased to find this lightweight Farberware Classic 4-Quart pot at a reasonable price. It performs well and brings back a little nostalgia while making stove top popcorn.

Just the right size for small, quick warming needs. Stainless steel makes it durable and fast heating. Easy to clean. Didn't realize it was something I always needed until I bought it. LOL.

I just bought this set to replace one I bought in the early 1970's that I had to leave behind in a move. In addition to this set I also bought a couple of extra 3 quart sauce pans because they are so handy to have extras of. One thing I want to mention is that with time, going through the dishwasher had a bad effect on the handle material of the original set. They turned dull and rough so if that would bother you, you might want to hand wash just in case this newer version is still made using the same handle material. I will write to Farberware and ask them about this. Now let's talk about the design changes made to the bottoms over the years: Here, my 1970's ones were made with a solid layer of aluminum. With many trips through the dishwasher this degraded badly but they were still in use when I left them behind in my move this year. Anything printed into the aluminum had long since dissolved though. About maybe 25 years ago I bought a couple of extra 3 quart saucepans (such a handy size and I recommend you do the same!). The bottoms on these were finished with about an 1/8" raised laminated layer of shiny (stainless?) steel over the aluminum (the edge of which was slightly exposed). Over time one of these left my household in a divorce but the remaining one developed a gap between the steel and the aluminum on one side of the edge. Not sure if this was from the dishwasher/aluminum thing and can only speak for the single pan. This latest set has a gorgeous steel bottom design with no visible aluminum. I think there is still an aluminum layer in there though. The steel smoothly curves up to meet the body of the pan with a thin line around the edge. Lovely! Even the two included non-stick skillets have these bottoms. More about the skillets is that they are deeper and have more steeply sloped sides than I expected or am used to. The depth is about 2" and the rims are the 8" and 10" but the inside bottoms are maybe 2" less than this. The profile of the bottoms is very curved. So they will be better for saucier dishes but not so great for flipping pancakes. They are beautiful to look at. I know that non-stick has fallen out of favor but I still like it, am aware there are chemicals involved, that care must be taken with keeping the temperatures low, and have no problem with adding a little cooking oil. I am gentle with NS and my last (inexpensive) ones were still in use after 25 + years.

My husband and I with cook with our OLD set of Paul Revere pots. I needed a 2 qt. pot BUT who can afford the old vintage pots! Have you seen what they are asking at ebay and yes...even at amazon! I looked at the new pots and they aren't the same. Vintage Revere pots were light and I'm old with bad hands, I need light pots and pans. So....I bought this Farberware pot, it's a nice pot and cooks fine, it's just not as light but the price was right. Social Security is not keeping up with inflation so I have to watch what I spend.

This pot works great for gravy, holds a jar perfectly. Easy clean up

I bought these because they are exactly the same ones my mom used to use a long time ago. I didn't realize how beautiful these pots are when they are new. They look even better in person! Wow- I almost don't want to use them!! Lol. They still feel really solid and well built- I'm sure I am going to love these!

a pan that works great and doesn't take you to the bank

I love this little pan and I use it all the time.

Perfecta, justo lo que buscaba y esperaba para la cocción de la papilla para mi bebé. Es pequeña y cumple a la perfección la función para la que la compré. Después podré usarla para calentar pequeñas porciones de comida, calentar leche, etc. Se ve y se sienten de buena calidad los materiales. La recomiendo para quienes buscan una olla pequeña para diversos usos.

the first time we used the pot there were several spots on the bottom that never clean off.

Einfach nur klasse! Spitzen Qualität, die man hier lange suchen muss und teilweise so nicht vorfindet. Der im ersten Moment hoch wirkende Preis ist 100% gerechtfertigt. Bedenke Versand aus USA, aber die schwere Qualität, speziell der gefertigte Boden des Aufwärmen, rechtfertigt jeden Euro.Vor meiner Bestellung hatte ich Gelegenheit diese entzückende Mini Kasserolle bei Freunden kennenzulernen. Diese war nun nach einem USA Besuch 20 Jahre in ihren Besitz und sah tadellos aus.

good quality material however due to the small bumps on the fry pan surface clean up is very difficult. unable to get in between them even with scrub pads

Muy buena calidad y armé una nbateria con varias piezas del mismo diseño y marca
