Farberware Classic Stainless Steel Sauce Pan/Saucepan with Lid, 3 Quart, Silver

I have the mini butter pot of this brand and like it very much and I use it multiple times a day to forth. I wanted to get the 3qt of the same brand. I read the negative reviews and decided to take the chance based on what I already knew and I have not been disappointed. 1st unless you have an Olga sized hand this handle is just fine and feels perfect. 2nd the spots on the bottom of the pot are water spots after washing it and it wipes right off with a dry towel. I fried some egg rolls in this pot today and it heat up very quickly I even had to lower the heat to get the 325 temp. So Yes very good pot I do recommend.

I have used Farberware cookware since I was a child growing up, and I continue to use it now it my own apartment. Farberware has maintained its quality over the decades. It is resistant to scratching and burning. It is constructed for even heat distribution, and it cooks food evenly. Fiid does not stick. It is easy to clean, and it is very difficult to scratch even if you scrub at it with the scrubby side of a sponge. It is strong, and will be nearly impossible to dent.

I purchased two of these pots back in October 2025. I had an issue with the Saucepan Lid knob coming off and was unable to screw the knob onto the lid. I believed the knob was stripped and would not stay on the lid. I filed a claim and the seller sent me a new Saucepan with Lid. The product is outstanding, and the quality is amazing; I have 2 of these exact same Saucepan with Lids that were purchased 35 plus years ago. Extremely good value without the high cost. 100% recommended.

I just bought this but is the same one I had for 25yrs. Was shocked to see they were still making it! It’s an amazing pot! Cooks great, cleans up great, and lasts forever.

Great pan, lid fits well. It seems a bit thinner, or less dense than my other farrberware pans. So far so good, easy to clean

great pot, perfect size

OK - so it was made in Thailand - but not China! Maybe I just got lucky on this one production lot? As for the pan, it's truly a dandy. The bottom is flat enough to work perfectly on my ceramic top stove which is unusual for a pan this inexpensive. Actually, it's a bit unusual for expensive pans also. I bought a very expensive set of 7 ply pans last year through Amazon and this inexpensive SS pan with the bonded aluminum bottom works every bit as well, if not better. It is heavy enough to be stable on the stove but not so heavy that this old lady has problems picking it up when it is full of soup or whatever. The reason I bought this pan is that the "3 qt. saucepan" which came with the expensive set is shaped more like what I would call a chicken fryer and is most definitely NOT a sauce pan. The expensive pans do not have rolled top edges and are impossible to pour out of even when mostly empty. This Farberware Classic pan does have rolled edges and after using a ladle to empty the soup or tea down to about half a pot I can actually pour the rest out without it running down the sides of the pan and all over the counter! I also like the way the top fits inside of the pan, preventing the condensation on the inside of the lid from running every which way when you pick it up (if you handle it properly). As with all other stainless steel pans I've ever owned, there will be white spots on the bottom after washing it if you have cooked quantities of onions and/or dried beans (even previously cooked dried beans). This is taken care of easily and quickly by putting 1/2 cup white vinegar plus 1 1/2 cups water in the pan, covering it, bringing it to a boil and then removing it from the burner and letting it sit for at least 5 minutes. Bingo: shiny pan! Please do not write a comment telling me to use Barkeepers Friend to clean the inside of my pans. It takes some of the metal off which is evident from how black the rag gets! This is OK for my stainless steel sink, but I prefer to keep my pans as close to their original thickness as possible! I hope this pan will last a very long time and that there will be no problems with the handle - which seems to be the only issue other reviewers have repeatedly mentioned. I also wish I had saved at least a couple hundred dollars and bought a complete set of the Farberware Classic pans last year. As other reviewers have stated: It would be extremely helpful to list the country where products are manufactured. I definitely would have gone for the Farberware last year if I had known they are not made in China. P.S. The booklet which came with the pan reminded us that stainless steel DOES scratch, so don't plan to use sharp edged metal utensils.

I have always liked how well made and durable Faberware has been over the years. I know there are a lot of new pots and pans out there, but it is still not only one of the best, or possibly the best made pots today. It has been time tested.

I ordered this pot because as a senior citizen I was looking for a pot with specific features. The handle doesn’t get hot and is designed for easy carrying. The pot is a good thickness and very sturdy, but not overly heavy. The pot is high , rather than wide, so water doesn’t boil over . There is a warranty and this brand is known for it’s quality. The price is well worth the value.

Still decent, but compared to an original one we have from the late 1960s to early 70s (50 plus years of almost daily use) you do notice the difference in quality. Kind of how car panels are now thinner metal same deal here but it is not coke can thin like modern car panels. You can bang this one around a bit and it should hold up but I wont expect it to make 50 years.

My wife only wanted to buy a used copper-bottom Revere Ware. Thought we would try this. She loves it and at about 1/3rd the price of a used Revere.

It's great to be able to find the matching pot to a set you've used and enjoyed for over 40 years!
