Farberware Millennium Clad Stainless Steel Cookware

Q: I'm deciding between different brands of stainless steel/full-core aluminum clad cookware (in other words, All-Clad and its clones) to purchase. I'm pretty sure I want to get either Cuisinart Multiclad or Farberware Millennium Clad Stainless Steel cookware. I hear great stuff about the former, but the Farberware line is new and I haven't heard anything one way or the other about it. (I think its so new that I only know of one source for it - www.potsandpans.com .) The Farberware Millennium Clad Stainless line is not the same as their FM Stainless Copper Clad line or the FM 18/10 Stainless line (which is only clad at the bottom), but apparently is a fully clad (full aluminum core) design a la All-Clad. This Farberware Clad line is even less expensive than Cuisinart Multiclad cookware, so I'm tempted to pick it up. On the other hand, I haven't been able to find any reviews of the Farberware pans, but hear lots of good things about the Cuisinart ones. Has anybody here tried any of these new Farberware pans?

A: I haven't tried it, but those hollow handles get hot. I have the Multiclad and LOVE it. Gorgeous, heavy weight, clad cookware, that cooks like a dream. The Multiclad look nicer, and better constructed from the photos I saw at that site. Not that much less than Multiclad. Up until a few days ago the Multiclad was really cheap at Amazon. They really jacked up their prices recently on it, but there are still a few items at the lower prices. << I'm deciding between different brands of stainless steel/full-core aluminum clad cookware (in other words, All-Clad and its clones) to purchase.

For under $300, lifetime warranty, how can you lose? The only thing I would want to check is the handle....I am funny about having comfortable handles. Still...for that price, if you use them for a few months and decide you don't like the performance, you can always give them to someone who's just starting out (or sell them on consignment). Farberware is a well-respected name, even under its new ownership (World Kitchen...they also make KitchenAid, Anolon and Circulon pans). And like I said, if anything happens to it under normal wear and tear, they'll replace it. If you're really apprehensive, pick up one of the skillets and try it. See if you like it. If you do, get the set. You can always use an extra skillet, it won't go to waste.

Discuss It!

Farberware are great multi clad pans but the watch out for the hollow handles. I have a gas stove and the handles get too hot to touch after just a short period of time.

Further to above comment. I stuffed the handles with tin foil and that solved the problem
