Nice Little Pot to My Kitchen Collection

My family has been using Farberware pots for at least 10 years now and they're still holding up strong. So I thought I would get one for my apartment that I just moved into because I know it'll be a brand I can trust. I haven't done much with it than to heat water, soup or chef boyardee because I don't own a microwave. It's been doing a pretty good job so far. When I start cooking rice in it I'll update my review but it's a very useful pot to have especially with the pourer on the sides with the draining holes on the lid. I've been searching for a 1 quart pot with a lid and I'm glad I found this one.

Nice small saucepan

I have a DUXTOP Induction cooktop , that I bought several months ago here at Amazon and so I am having to replace my cookware to use it. On other posts they said that this saucepan couldn't be used on induction. I got it yesterday and washed the pan, and decided to give it the magnet test, it grabbed the magnet, so I thought ok, and I got the cooktop out and decided to see if it would work on it, and guess what , It does. On the DUXTOP it has a circle cooking area for small pans, and one for larger pans, which I love. Using the small pan the outer ring doesn't heat up. So I can't figure out why , unless it will only work on certain inductions, that people say it won't work. I will update later, if I have any problems. But for now, I plan on finishing out my set of this cookware. The pan is nice and heavy, and I love that it has a strainer and pouring spouts on both sides of the pan. I highly recommend it. I have read that if a magnet sticks to the bottom of the pans that it will work on inductions.

Just bought a second pan - durable, looks good, and heats evenly

I've used a variety of saucepans, and usually go through one every two years or so. Most of the non-stick or cheaper pans I had used in the past seemed to slowly warp after a year or so (causing less even heating), and the interior surface would get scratches and not inspire confidence that my food was remaining uncontaminated. I now own two of these stainless saucepans, and they're both holding up great after almost two years. One time, my wife accidentally steamed some apples for much too long (all the water had evaporated), and then the apples were burnt to a crisp on the bottom of the pan. It looked dire, but after two scrubbings, some baking soda, and one more scrubbing, the bottom of the pan was spotless again. The pouring spout and strainer lid are just added bonuses. I don't usually use them (since I do pastas in a larger pan), but the few times I have used them (for single servings, usually), they worked great and helped me avoid using (and having to wash) a strainer. They work great, and I would buy another!

ok maybe I'm obsessed with these my pans but I love to cook

This is a set that will be around FOREVER!!! I have Farberware pans passed onto me from my mom and now I have a ever growing set that will be passed onto my own daughter! forget these cheap $40 sets from Walmart and purchase something worth the money!!! I cannot rave enough about the quality, durability and reliability of this brand!!!! I want more and more!! I need more cabinets to hold all of my Farberware collection!!!! I have burned popcorn in my pan, SCRAPED out the burnt kernels used an sos pad and when I've really screwed up put some comet cleanser in it and it's restored to the brilliance it was when I took it out of the box. ok maybe I'm obsessed with these my pans but I love to cook!!! I grab them from yard sales, thrift stores etc and I've added to my set many times from Amazon to get those hard to find sizes, I love how they hold a can of corn, greenbeans etc perfectly!!!! Ok I'm done raving, just buy these already YOU WON'T BE SORRY!!!!

Good pot, but can't be lazy when using it!

After using non-stick pans all my life, I finally got tired of purchasing new ones every year when the Teflon scraped off. I've been using the 1-quart version of this stainless steel saucepan daily for 5+ years, and it's still my favorite little pot for single servings of noodles, soups, etc. The only sign of wear on it is that the black paint on the handle has dulled. So I purchased the 3-quart recently, and I'm very pleased with it. Switching away from non-stick required some minor adjustments to the way I cook. I can't get distracted and forget about the meal simmering on the stove; stirring frequently and monitoring constantly is a must. I also need to use oil for foods I didn't before, like lean ground beef. But this is the reality of using stainless steel. If my food sticks to the bottom, it's the fault of my laziness, not the fault of the pan. The unexpected upside of being forced to cook more conscientiously, and to use more oil, is that my food has come out tasting better since I started using this pan. Another plus is that if food does get stuck, I can scrub it thoroughly, instead of treating it like it's a delicate national treasure. I can also pop it in the dishwasher with no worries. The only thing I don't like is the metal lid. It doesn't sit well on the pot. Fortunately I still had the glass lids from two previous short-lived non-stick Farberware saucepans, and they fit great.

It IS suitable for induction stove as well.

Reading Q&A section of this product I found it very confusing from some respondents. But based on the image provided it looks like the saucepan has thick metal bottom, so I took a risk and ordered it. It arrived in 2 days and what it is written on the package: Cookware suitable for Electric, Glass-ceramic, Gas, Dishwasher, Induction. Made in China. Oven safe to 350 F. And yes, I tested it with magnet on the bottom. It works!

I used this strainer to cook pasta once and it worked pretty well. I have also made some chicken broth ...

I got this cute little saucepan to make tea basically. I brew my tea in milk and not in water hence I don't use a kettle but have been using a saucepan. The previous one I had is a little bigger. Although it had a rim, it didn't have a spout. I find this easier to pour out into a cup. I used this strainer to cook pasta once and it worked pretty well. I have also made some chicken broth it strains it well. But I feel that if the holes in the strainer are a little bit smaller on one side, it would've been more useful for me to filter the tea. Now I have to use an external strainer. Too much to ask, but would've served my purpose in the best way possible

Still a good value old standy

Have had a set of these since 1962 and finally the handle loosened on this 3 qt size. No real way to fix it - used epoxy but doesn't work well - would have to rivet - not worth the risk when you're might be talking about 3 qts of hot water. Probably used this one most over the years and thus the problem - have a half dozen more of various sizes just as old - no problem. Thought I'd "upgrade" to one with a riveted handle so I could more readily follow up in oven (this one safe in oven only to about 350 F) but once I started reading the opinions on Amazon I was discouraged by all the comment about dirt around the rivets, etc., have plenty of enameled cast iron for this purpose, plus I frankly find the idea of paying $100 for a pot like this part of the yuppie fantasy they live every day to continually try to convince themselves that they're worth the absurd amount of money so many of them are paid for producing intangible "goods" of doubtful utility. Great pot which I expect to last another half century of hard use by me (and my heirs) - quality seems just as good as originals likely made in U.S. and I like the somewhat deeper shape of this version better. Very good for smaller amounts of macaroni (no yuppie - no pasta - basta?) but I've never been a believer in the copious amounts of water school to boil macaroni (what's wrong with more starch on a starchy food?) so this is a good addition to our half century-old set which I recommend highly.

Good Old Trustworthy Farberware

Is there anything better than good old Farberware? Our old (40+ years) Farberware pots and pans fought the good battle but, when we replaced our stove a number of years ago with a glass top stove, they just didn't heat quickly, anymore. We bought a new model of Farberware, but the set did not come with a 4 qt. pot. My husband bought a Paula Deen pot, but it just wasn't the same. This new Farberware 4 qt. pot does the trick! I wasn't sure about the handles on the side, but it is much easier to pick up when it is full, albeit more difficult to drain using the lid. But, I guess that is what colanders are for.

Best cookware fofr the money

With the exception of the plastic vs. bakelite handle of the old Farberware manufacture, the new pots might actually be better. The smooth stainless diffuser disc on the bottom replaces the old scratchy aluminum finish on the old models which was a nuisance to clean. The straining lid with holes in the rim is handy but you have the option of a standard cover.
