I had two sets of cheaply made ($50-$80 a set), worn-out non-stick “named after a female TV chef”cookware that I’d had 7-8 years and ONE Farberware Classic pot & lid that belonged to my grandmother that still looked shiny and brand-new after 50+ years. So I tossed everything out but the Farberware pot & lid and bought this whole set to match it. You can’t tell the 50-year-old pot from the new set except if you turn it over and read the bottom because (sadly) it’s no longer made in New York, USA. I hope this cookware lasts as long as my grandmother’s!!! These Farberware pans brown food beautifully and clean-up is easy. Utensils seem to be good quality, too.
