My mother bought her first set of Farberware cookware in 1975, I was living at home and cooked with them also. When my parents passed away I moved into the house. I HAVE BEEN USING HER FARBERWARE SINCE THEN. They are in excellent shape and love them. My son just asked me for a set of cookware for his birthday, because his set had to go in the garbage. I BOUGHT HIM FARBERWARE COOKWARE. He also lived with me and cooked in them. Faberware in my house is 45 years old. Still look like new. THANK YOU FARBERWARE....
