Farberware Millennium Stainless Steel Tulip Series 10-Piece Cookware Set

This set is not only functional and durable, but gorgeous as well. I debated over the T-Fal version but it has hollow handles. These have solid handles. The stem handles on five of the pieces DO NOT get hot. The grips on the lids and the 8-qt pot do get a little warm. I was amazed that this set actually is advertised to work on induction cooktops. All pieces do work wonderfully on induction cookers, while the Cuisinart set I ordered did not, and was sent back. I love how evenly the set cooks and how well made it is. I have no doubt this set will get passed along to my children when I go to the big kitchen in the sky. Their children will probably be receiving it too, in due time.

After much research on stainless cookware, I finally settled on the Farberware. The pricing on the Millennium set

was well under what I was willing to spend, so I also looked at the higher priced sets. It turns out that those higher priced pots & pans didn't have any apparent advantages over the Farberware at all. In fact, the Farberware looked to be of better quality than some sets costing 30-80 dollars more.

These pots & pans are of good weight, they are stout, but not overly heavy and the highly polished outside surfaces are beautiful. The insides of the pots & pans are of a satin finish, with the degree of finish slightly varying from pan to pan. I was concerned that the pans with the coarser finishes may be prone to having food stick on the bottom, but it was worry for nothing, the pots and pans were problem free. The heavy glass lids are nice, but the lid handles get very hot, very quickly. The handles of the pots & pans themselves also get hot, so I'd recommend using an oven mitt when holding on to either handle. It was the issue of the hot handles that caused me to drop them to a 4 star rating, I'd give all other aspects of the product 5 stars. Besides the one minor problem, Farberware has produced a very fine set of cookware.

I noticed that most of the 1 & 2 star reviewers all had the same issue, they complained that everything they tried to cook would stick. Well, cooking on stainless is much different than cooking on non-stick. I believe the unhappy buyers of stainless are expecting bare steel to act like Teflon and that's just not gonna happen. If you're going from Teflon to stainless steel, you'll need to adjust your heat setting to lower than what you are used to and use at least a little oil. DO NOT use PAM or other spray cans of anti stick coating, it'll just make an ugly mess of your pan.

The bottom line?? If you want a stainless set for under $100, this is it.

I've used a variety of cookware including some all copper for sugars & hot syrups.

These pans did exceptionally well for a stainless set in having even heat distribution.(Something you rarely see in stainless).

Love the easy cleanup and if we avoid all metal utensils we shouldn't experience any sticking problems in the future.

So far I can't see a negative to this set other than the lids have no vents. Just a preference issue. Great weight great rivet construction. These will be passed on I'm sure.

I bought these pans because I was tired of cheap nonstick pans chipping into my food.I am not by any means a health-nut but the thought of eating slippery little chemical flakes was not appetizing.I also bought this set because it was beautiful and only cost about one hundred dollars.

At first I was really disappointed.EVERYTHING stuck to the pans.Even things like grilled cheese.I can't stress enough the importance of seasoning these pans.Heat the pan up empty until water droplets dance in the bottom.Then pour in your choice of oil (enough to cover the bottom.)Let it heat until it starts smoking slightly.Then turn off the burner and let it cool to room temperature.Pour off and discard the oil.Wipe out the pan with a paper towel.

Cook a fried egg.Pretty awesome, huh?I was amazed to be able to cook omelets and scrambled eggs with out making a burnt on mess.You can make a fried egg slide around the pan.If you clean the pan with soap or water you will have to re season it.

I have had these pans for about a year now and they all look like new.To avoid discoloration, buy some bar cleaners friend.

I have only ever cooked on non-stick pans but I have heard so much about the risks I was ready to switch. My biggest concern was that things would stick, I heard eggs were particularly bad. I haven't owned the set long but I cooked a couple things that normally would stick for me, bulk sausage and eggsI had absolutely no problem with sticking. I turned the heat down and it was SO even. The pot of pasta was swirling and turning so nice that none of my pasta stuck together. I have never seen that before it was great! I am so happy with this purchase.
