Description:

For decades Farberware has been an integral part of many American kitchens. Here's a pot that will see regular use, season after season, offering up stick-to-your-ribs stews and soups in the winter, and corn on the cob and pasta for salad in the summer time.Many people think of stockpots as the no-talent workhorses of the kitchen--as long as they handle big jobs, conventional wisdom goes, they don't need the conductive qualities of smaller saucepans. That thinking goes out the window, however, when you cook soups, stews, pastas, or chili in a quality stockpot like this Farberware Classic 8-quart product. Like any other cookware item in your kitchen, the better the construction and heat distribution, the more flavorful your food will taste. This Farberware Classic stockpot features a thick, durable body made of 18/10 stainless steel with an aluminum core. As with all Farberware Classic cookware, the core spreads heat evenly across the bottom and sides, conserving energy while uniformly cooking your food. The pot comes with a lid that fits tightly over the top, preserving the flavors inside. Due to the stainless-steel construction, the pot is easy to clean and is corrosion-resistant. In addition, the pot's thick rolled rims means users can pour from the sides without fear of the soup or stew dripping onto the floor or their shirts. The pot features stay-cool phenolic handles that are oven-safe to 350 degrees F. To top it off, the stockpot is dishwasher-safe and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. --Rivers Janssen

4Not the same as my mother's set from 30 years ago....  Aug 30, 2006
By RisCracker "riscracker"
My mother has had her set of Farberware for well over 30 years, and has never had a problem. I've had mine for about 15, and I am now replacing this particular pot (the second pot in my set that needed replacement). The rim on my 8-qt and the one on my 2.5qt sauce pot have cracked. I had the saucepan replaced 10yrs ago via mail and the lifetime warranty.

I would replace it with the same pot, but I find that the plastic handles get too hot to hold bare-handed when I use the large burners on my gas stove. Also I'd like a glass lid to see when the water is boiling without removing the lid. So I'm in the market for something slightly different, but can't find anything as good for a similar cost.

HOWEVER, when I was offered the opportunity to replace my cookware, I kept this pot specifically because the size is wonderful for making large amounts of soup/chilis/etc. The pot itself is not too heavy to carry when empty, and it fits in most sinks for easy cleanup (I have a spaghetti pot that won't fit under my faucet). And it did last 15 years, being washed in the dishwasher and otherwise used and abused.

What makes this pot the best is the dimensions. It's not so wide as to take over the entire stove, but not so narrow that it's impossible to get a spoon inside and stir up a thick chili. The bottom is heavy enough to conduct heat and boil water quickly.

It's a great mid-priced pot. If it had metal handles, I'd use 1-click on it right now! I may purchase it again anyway, but I'm still undecided.

5The workhorse of the kitchen...  Aug 26, 2001
By Steven Dennis
This is the one you use for all of your heavy-duty kitchen needs. Making chili for six? Steaming vegetables? Cooking rice? Making 1 lb. of pasta? Making a soup? Need to store leftovers in the fridge? You will use this pot for years...My mom has had hers for 35 years, I've had mine for 5. How many products do you buy nowadays that you expect to last that long? These pots are virtually indestructible and are beatiful besides. Solid, classic. It lives up to its name.

5Good Stockpot at a Great Price  May 05, 2001
By Michela
Farberware 18/10 stainless steel cookware is a good line. I had this cookware at one time, and I can recommend it, especially for use on gas burners. Unlike Calphalon cookware, it can go in the dishwasher. However, to keep the finish gleaming, you might need to scrub the pots and pans frequently with cleanser and scouring pads. The 8-Quart Stockpot with Lid is a kitchen essential.

5farberware classic 8-quart stockpot  Jan 04, 2007
By Michele Reynolds "jewelry lady"
I tried this stockpot based on the reviews of other buyers on this site. Just as they claimed, the cooking quality is good, with a minimum of sticking (chili), and absolutely no burning. I have never had such success with stainless steel pots,or cast iron dutch ovens. Clean up was a snap. The price was right, too. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

5Must have for any kitchen  Mar 23, 2002

This stockpot is a good size for making soup, stew, pasta & chili. It can be used to make two very satisfactory portions or four normal portions (for normal eaters, unlike myself). It is not too large and unwieldy, especially loaded with food. It is simple to clean, conducts heat very well and a delight to use! An excellent value. Farberware also makes a nice pasta insert which is a great addition to this pot.
