Farberware Premium Aluminum Nonstick 10 Piece Cookware Set with Black Handles, Platinum



Not worth it
This is a VERY lightweight set of pans. I was very disappointed.

With "Premium" in the title, I thought they would be good quality, heavy pans. They are so thin. They look and feel like you could just bend them in half and I am SOOOOO tempted to try it, but then I won't be able to return them lol. Even the handles are lightweight.

The nonstick coating inside the pans almost looks powdercoated and you can just tell that it is going to bubble off or something. They are not smooth inside - there is a bit of an odd texture. These pans look like they would warp easily and I would NEVER trust these in the dishwasher, even though it says they are dishwasher safe. The fry pans are very shallow and the lids do not fit them. Speaking of the lids, they are lightweight too.

I have another set of Farberware and they are at least double the weight of this set. The metal is much thicker on my other set and like I said with "Premium" in the name of this set I just...

Good looking but just a basic starter set...
I purchased this set because it was a pretty good gold box deal a little while ago. I wasn't expected chef-quality for the price and was skeptical based on some of the reviews.

However, it's a decent enough set if it's for someone starting out on their own or if you're looking for something inexpensive. I haven't had any problems with the non-stick coating as others have mentioned but I would not consider these to be a "long term" set. If you can afford it, go with a higher quality set (I have a couple non-stick ceramic pans from Paula Dean and they're pretty amazing but can be pricey).

My biggest complaint about this set is it just doesn't have the "weighty" feel that is synonymous with high quality cookware. I have a really high end cookware set but just needed some non-stick for certain things (even if I don't use it very often) so this set is fine for the occasional use. It is uncharacteristically light though- almost feels like aluminum...it's a little...

Terrible quality, "Nonstick" should say "Everything Sticks!"
If I still had the original packaging I would send this cookware back! Everything sticks in these pans. I bought these pans as one of Amazon's daily deals. I wouldn't recommend the pans to anyone.
