Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Farberware Millennium Soft Touch 12-Piece Cookware Set
Customer Review: Faberware is GREAT cookware!
Summary: 5 Stars
After looking at 3 different brands of stainless steel cookware, and reading Amazon reviews on all the brands (Faberware, Wear Ever Cook & Strain, and T-Fal), I chose the Faberware Millenium 12 piece set with soft touch handles.
While I was debating which brand, I remembered I still had a couple of Faberware pots handed down to me from my Grandmother 30 years ago. These were the only 2 pots, and lids, that I had consistently used over my 30 years of marriage... and were still useable! Although they are showing their wear after what must be 40 to 45 years of use.
I looked at the Classic in the store, and it sure looked like those old pots of Grandma's.
The difference between the Classic and the Millineum was mainly in the handles (the Millineum looks even sturdier than the Classic..and it lasted 45 years, mind you) and the skillets for the Millineum were not non-stick but full stainless steel inside. I have gone through so many sets of non-stick skillets through the years, with all of them eventually scratching, peeling and rusting no matter how careful I attempted to use them, that I had determined no more non-stick. So I chose the Millineum for a great price at Fred Meyer's ($129.99) and the $50 manufacture rebate...so this set will have cost me $79.99.
This morning I decided to test the 10 inch skillet...I put it on my glass stove top burner, followed the advice of the manufacturer and the Amazon reviewers, and turned the heat to medium. (My other pans had required high heat to cook anything well.)
I cooked two slices of bacon, beautifully, poured out the grease, wiped the pan out, not bothering to clean the bacon residue, and then cooked a batch of eggs flawlessly. The eggs easily came out of the pan (I always add a little water when I cook eggs as I prefer steamed eggs to truly fried eggs).
Okay...now the real test...I had bacon and egg residue on the bottom of a stainless steel pan...not horribly stuck on...but a definite gunky residue...so again I followed the manufacturer's recommendation and poured in a little vinegar to the left over egg water and boiled for about a minute while I swished with the plastic spatula that came in my set. I was amazed...the sticky residue swooshed right off. I rinsed with warm soap and water, had to use a sponge in a couple of small spots in the pot crease...but the thing cleaned up beautifully and practically effortlessly.
I'm sold...why I haven't bought Faberware before over the years I'll never know. Excellent set. Excellent brand.
EDIT: Months later. Set is still beautiful. Forgot what I was doing and burned down rice badly in one pot..Bar Tenders Friend removed the heavy blackened stain, with some moderate scrubbing, flawlessly. Pot looks as beautiful as ever. These pots will last as well as my grandmother's!
