Amazon.com Review
Many people think of stockpots as the no-talent workhorses of the kitchen--as long as they handle big jobs, conventional wisdom goes, they don't need the conductive qualities of smaller saucepans. That thinking goes out the window, however, when you cook soups, stews, pastas, or chili in a quality stockpot like this Farberware Classic 8-quart product. Like any other cookware item in your kitchen, the better the construction and heat distribution, the more flavorful your food will taste. This Farberware Classic stockpot features a thick, durable body made of 18/10 stainless steel with an aluminum core. As with all Farberware Classic cookware, the core spreads heat evenly across the bottom and sides, conserving energy while uniformly cooking your food. The pot comes with a lid that fits tightly over the top, preserving the flavors inside. Due to the stainless-steel construction, the pot is easy to clean and is corrosion-resistant. In addition, the pot's thick rolled rims means users can pour from the sides without fear of the soup or stew dripping onto the floor or their shirts. The pot features stay-cool phenolic handles that are oven-safe to 350 degrees F. To top it off, the stockpot is dishwasher-safe and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. --Rivers Janssen

Summary: Easy to Clean Like New 2008-11-09
Comment: One reviewer here has spoken of his or her difficulty in keeping this Farberware pot in like-new condition - it's actually easy to do. What you need is a BLUE Scotchbrite scrubber sponge (NOT THE GREEN), and a can of Cameo brand stainless steel cleaner. Cameo is a powder that's available in most grocery stores, somewhere near the Comet cleanser. Using the scrubber side of the Scotchbrite scrubber, scrub the inside with Cameo, and your Farberware will come back up absolutely like new. The sponge side of the Scotchbrite scrubber and Cameo will take care of the outside - don't use the scrubber side on the outside's mirror finish. Again, the green Scotchbrite scrubbers are too harsh for either the inside or the outside of a Farberware pot- it will leave scratchy scouring marks, so be sure to use only the blue. This pot will remain new-looking indefinitely with the use of the blue Scotchbrite scrubber and Cameo - I have Farberware that's thirty years old, and you can hardly tell it from new. If anything burns onto the outside bottom of the pot, a little oven cleaner will remove it without scratching. Farberware is famous for maintaining its good looks over time, given proper care. I'm sure happy with mine.

Summary: The Farberware pots... 2008-10-13
Comment: I have several of these pots of different sizes. I love the way they look when you open the box...all shiney and gleaming...and a nice design. They seem to do the job. The only reason I gave it a 4-star instead of a 5-star rating is because the minute I use them, I notice I can never get out the marks left on the inside that show cooking use. I'm sure ALL pots do this because I've never owned a cooking pot that didn't do this. I was just a little disappointed as it looked so beautiful out of the box. I bought two of them this go-around - an 8 quart and a 4 quart. The 4 quart immediately showed "lines along the inside bottom" of the pot in all kinds of rainbow colors. The only thing I can attribute it to was the fact that I put a little bit of oil in the water because I was cooking pasta. Both pots (and all pots I've ever used) got a mark around the circumference of the water line inside which I can't seem to get out. I don't think it has anything to do with Farberware...I just think all pots do this, unless somebody here can tell me otherwise. All in all, I'm quite happy with Farberware pots...I've had them all my life and I'm old as dirt!

Summary: Good Stockpot for Sauces & Soups 2007-09-24
Comment: This is a great classic stockpot, that my own mother has used for 35 years, and now I am using for my cooking needs. Its great for sauces and soups but not much else. I tried to make rice and beans in this pot- which wasnt smart since the rice burned badly on the bottom. i also tried to sautee some chicken in the bottom which also wasnt smart since the chicken got stuck to the bottom of the pot. BUT again, cooked some great sauce and soup in here, and if you cook for many, this is a great staple to have in kitchen.

Summary: Almost as good as the original 2007-09-19
Comment: This is an excellent stockpot. Until recently, I was using a Farberware stockpot that I bought in 1970! Yes, after 37 years it was working just fine, but the knob on the lid came off and it couldn't be repaired. I looked high and low for a replacement lid, but nothing fit, so I bought this new stockpot, and I'm very happy with it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that the handles tend to heat up more than I'd like. Other than that, it's great.
