I  received my first set of farberware in 1976. I still have part of it. The pans were still good the handles were the problem. But they were over 20 years old before anything happened. This week I bought another set because I have accumulaterd odds and end saucepans and skillets. They are leaving. Farberware Classic is the best cookware ever. I wouldn't give a nickle for the teflon series. The originals ARE THE BEST. Save yourself some money from the faddy stuff. And Wayfair has great deals.
