Farberware Classic Stainless Steel 17-Piece Cookware Set


Functional and handsome, the 17 pieces in this economical Farberware set provide all the basic necessities for home cooking and baking. Each pot or pan is constructed of gleaming 18/10 stainless steel that encapsulates a thick aluminum core in the base, the "full cap" advantage that allows Farberware Classic to cook evenly without hotspots. Stainless-steel lids and black phenolic handles in traditional styling withstand oven heat up to 350 degrees F. While not as heavy-gauge as the Farberware Millennium line, Classic has long been a popular company standard.
Suitable for stovetop as well as oven use, the cookware in the set consists of: 1-, 2-, and 3-quart covered saucepans, 4- and 8-quart covered saucepots, and 8- and 10-inch nonstick aluminum skillets. For mixing and storing, three nesting stainless steel bowls with ring handles and tight-fitting plastic lids are included; for baking, a 9-by-13-inch nonstick cooking sheet, and 9-by-13-inch nonstick cake pan. All the items are dishwasher-safe, and are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. --Ann Bieri
