This Farberware stainless steel set is such a great addition to my kitchen. I am coming from a stainless steel set of another brand and I could tell right away that the Farberware is a big upgrade. The pots have nice heavy thick bottoms that heat evenly and quickly, and I am also very happy that each pot has a lid. My other set only had lids for maybe half of the pots. The only thing that I do prefer from my previous set is that it had glass lids so you could easily monitor your food without having to lift the lid. That's just a minor thing though. Overall, I feel like this set of Farberware is very durable and will hold up well for a very long time. The quality is top notch, and the variety of pots and pans in the set is perfect for most kitchens. I would recommend this set to anyone, from those just starting out to more seasoned cooks.
