Farberware classic is great — an inexpensive yet equally functional alternative to the very expensive pots & pans. Note: recently Farberware reduced its quality, in that older Farberware pots & pans had their thick aluminum base completely encased within a stainless steel shell. The newer pots & pans have the aluminum base attached to the bottom, but not encased within a stainless steel bottom. So, their quality is less than it was; most people who “grew up with Farberware” may not realize this. Farberware used to hold the patent on the technique of having the aluminum base CURVE up the side of the pan — they no longer do this, and are the same as many other manufacturers.
