This is my first experience with the Farberware brand so I was excited to get this free sample from viewpoints. The jumbo cooker is an ideal size for making braised dishes, stove top casseroles and stews. The handle is a good length, the lid fits well, and the pan is easy to handle when hot despite its size since the handle does not get hot. Food comes right out when cleaning (I use a paper towel to wipe the pan out while warm then rinse with a mild detergent and soft sponge to avoid damaging the non-stick coating). It is so much better than the standard deep skillet so that I find myself reaching for this pan time and time again. I would definitely buy Farberware cookware in future.
