Farberware did their job! Sep 23, 2010
By mdoll
When the package first arrived, I was disappointed. The lid didn't fit well on the pot, and there was a rattling sound coming from it, like something was stuck between the aluminum and stainless layers of the pots. I knew there was a lifetime warranty, but I also knew I would have to send a big, heavy pot across the country, which would cost a lot to ship. I decided to call Farberware and see if the rattling sound would be covered by the warranty, and if I should ship the lid back, etc. At first I was perplexed, because the lady just said "No. Don't ship it." I thought she was confused as to what I was asking, or thought I wanted to return it for a refund instead of a replacement. Anyway, she told me about some first-timer deal (not exactly sure what) where all I had to do was fax a copy of the packing list, along with a note of what was wrong, and my shipping address and that they would send me a brand new pot free of charge. I was skeptical. I googled the fax number, and couldn't find it related to Farberware anywhere. But I figured I would use the pot as it was and wait a few weeks. If it never showed up, I would be very disappointed, but the pot was usable so it wasn't worth the shipping cost to send it back.
ANYWAY, today I got a big package from Farberware with a brand new pot inside, just as promised, and it was perfect. The lid fit tighter and there was no rattling sound. I'm very pleased! I just wish I had sent in a complaint about the 1.5 quart straining pot I also bought. The lid doesn't fit well either, but I thought since both the pots had the problem I shouldn't worry about it. Oh well.
So all in all, it took a long time to actually get a working pot, but now that I have it I am pleased. The straining mechanism is nicer than having to get out a big bulky strainer and having to clean it too. I will say that when you have a pot full of hot water and pasta, it can be daunting having to pick up the pot and hold on to the handle and flip it over, but I haven't had too much difficulty. And it will probably be better now that the lid fits.

 Perfect! Nov 03, 2010
By D. Anderson

I've been making my own yogurt and was looking for a saucepan in which to heat the milk that wouldn't turn into a dribble cup when it came time to pour the contents into the small yogurt jars. This pan solved all my problems. It's the perfect size to heat milk for a 49-oz batch of yogurt, the lip allows me to pour without spilling a drop, the heavy bottom heats evenly, the pan cleans up nicely after use and the design is attractive.

Exactly as expected! Jan 27, 2007
By C.L.
This is my second pot like this... it's the perfect size for so many things! I still use my original Farberware Classic pots/pans set received as a wedding gift almost 25 years ago. It's held up wonderfully over the years... no reason to change brands!

 Farberware 3 qt saucepan Jan 10, 2011
By M. Gerard
The concept of this pan is nice - a basic stainless pan for all around cooking. The nice features are the spout and drain holes in the lid which enable you to drain off liquids, without dirtying another colander, or risking losing your contents down the sink. Perfect for making mashed potatoes, and cooking vegetables. It's also nice to find a pan without a glass lid, which seems to be the standard nowadays; and the lid handle doesn't get hot like on so many brands. On the negative side, the pan seems a little light and thin compared to the stainless that I've been using for 40 years. Seems like it would dent easily. The worst part is that the lid does not fit perfectly and is something I will constantly have to fiddle with. I'm considering sending it back.

A Hobbled classic Aug 13, 2011
By Erik D. Stockmeier
Having eaten all the teflon off the bottom of my main saucepan I was excited to get this classic pot with a nice, stainless material. Every time I look at it I think of my grandmother's house. However, I've run into 2 problems with it:
1- the lid doesn't fit on perfectly. I believe the pan isn't perfectly round. I exchanged it when i realized this and the second had the same problem.
2- It doesn't form a seal, so if you are cooking something like rice where liquid levels are very sensitive it might not work out for you.
That said if it reminds you of your grandmother's house or you just want a decent quality classic pot I say go for it.
