I'd never used anything from Farberware but was in need of a new saucepan, so I decided to give them a try, and I'm glad I did! I've made and heated so many things in my 1-qt saucepan including gravy and the finish is still shining and cooks beautifully and evenly every time. The lid and pan are such good quality. I'm so happy with this pan that I can't wait to try other cookware from Farberware now!
