Product Description
Many of us grew up and learned to cook with Farberware, one of the oldest and most trusted names in cookware. The classic beauty and lifetime durability of stainless steel is enhanced by a sandwich of aluminum in the base which improves heat conductivity and efficiency. For making hearty stews and aromatic soups a stock pot is essential. Available in several sizes to accommodate the needs of your family and entertaining style. This one comes with a handy steamer insert so you can cook your veggies along with your pasta, for instance!
Amazon.com Review
With a lifespan of more than 50 years, Farberware Classic cookware has outlasted 10 U.S. presidents and countless ill-advised TV spin-offs. It's no wonder that Farberware considers the cookware line a timeless kitchen mainstay. This 6-quart stockpot--which features the distinctive button knob on the lid that characterizes the Classic line--is an ideal pot for simmering a pot of chili or preparing a heaping helping of Bolognese sauce for Aunt Esther, Uncle Irving, and the triplets. The stockpot also comes with a 4-quart steamer insert for steaming broccoli or other veggies, or for quickly draining corn on the cob or pasta. The efficiency of Farberware Classic cookware is derived from the 18/10 stainless steel layers that surround an aluminum "full cap" base. The triple-ply construction heats the stockpot quickly, and ensures that your stove doesn't waste unnecessary energy while cooking. Other features of the Classic line include stay-cool phenolic handles that are oven-safe to 350 degrees F, tight-fitting stainless lids that keep nutrients and flavors from escaping, and thick, rolled rims that allow you to pour from the sides without dripping on the counter. For good measure, the cookware is dishwasher-safe and comes with a limited lifetime warranty. With a little love, this stockpot will easily outlast the next 10 presidential administrations--and well beyond. --Rivers Janssen

Summary: Lifetime Warranty... I don't think so! 2004-09-29
Comment: I ordered two of the Farberware stockpots, one for me, the other for my son. I opened the first one and was displeased with the way the "snug" fitting lid fit the insert. I promptly called Farberware. I didn't have any trouble getting through to a live person, however, I was cut off after being put on hold for an extended period of time. When I called back, I was transferred to the person I was originally talking to. It was then that I was courteously informed that I would have to return my purchase to Amazon because they didn't have any inserts to replace the defective one. Fortunately, Amazon handled the return extremely efficiently, but how can one get satisfaction from Farberware for the guarantee against defects when the part isn't even available? Now, in Farberware's defense, the second pot was just fine.

Summary: Great steamer! 2004-06-18
Comment: I bought this pot to use for pasta, but soon discovered that it's the perfect size for steaming clams. The pot is deep and the steamer sits on top giving you plenty of room for liquids underneath. Previous steamers I have owned always have the steamer compartment sitting so close to the bottom of the pot you end up boiling the stuff in the bottom of the basket. The pot is nice and thick and cooks evenly. I frequently use it when making sauce and soups. During the summer I would normally use my big outdoor pot for doing clams, but this pot is the perfect size for two dozen or so (littlnecks). In the time it takes to eat the first batch, the second are already done. It's a manageable size for cleaning and stores nicely with my other pots.

Summary: Defective Product and Terrible Farberware Customer Service 2004-03-03
Comment: Less than a week after receiving the pot, the bottom started to come apart. Little circles of aluminum were visible at the center of discolored splotches where the allegedly stainless coating was inadequate. And this without any abuse (or even going into the dishwasher). Just awful.The experience got worse trying to take advantage of the "limited lifetime warranty" from Farberware. Their 800 number is just a recording that promises you necessary information and then starts over from the top without providing any actual information. In other words, it's an endless loop promising you details on how to seek service but then looping again. Before it starts over, it suggests you try their website . . . which also has no actual information about warranties or how to get service. A complete, abismal run around. I'm sending it back to Amazon and letting them deal with this turkey. But in general, a very unhappy experience.

Summary: Not your Mother's Farberware... 2004-02-16
Comment: But perhaps better... I bought this, the "cute as a button" 3 qt. stock/sauce pan and the 16 qt. stock pot at approximately the same time. The quality appears excellent, and the extra heavy base is completely flat, and distributes heat wonderfully. I came shopping for the large pot, since it was time to replace the aluminum one I had been making beer in for 15 years, and thought it time to get a stainless version. While I was here, I got this and the other. I couldn't be more pleased.. Each has been used and has performed even better than expected. I have a mish-mash of different cookware, purchased individually, because not all pans in any set are equal... These stock pots rank right up there with the more expensive brand names - and surpass some... ;0)) PK is a happy camper!
