Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program
Edit: I should mention that this is a 14 piece set, and incorrectly said 15 in my review.
I decided to do a video review for the Faberware cookware set. The reason being is I did notice the quality difference between another brand known as Cook N Home 15 Piece Non stick Black Soft handle Cookware Set that I purchased last year when I was on a stricter budget after moving into a new apartment. I also reviewed the Farberware Dishwasher Safe Aluminum Nonstick 12-Piece Cookware Set, Black which had similar teflon but less pans.
While I'm not fond of the color (which is a minor nitpick) I do have to say the quality difference was impressive.
Keep in mind that the Faberware retails on Amazon $20 dollars more than when I paid for the other brand. I just have to say, it does make a difference. I really like the set up of the base of the handle, which is much sturdier than the other brand. The Teflon is DuPont and I could immediately see the difference between my other set of cookware.
Now not all the lids will fit every pot for Faberware, but this is mostly the frying pans, so don't fret. The skillet has a lid that fits. The only minor thing I liked from my Cook N Home is that there was a steam vent/hole when cooking. Good for when you're cooking meals with a lot of steam that prevents the bubbling. Faberware doesn't have this, so that can be a good or bad thing depending on your viewpoint.
The other nitpick are the plastic utensils that came with the set. I could honestly do without. This cookware is really a starter set and if you have a large family, you'll need more pots and pans. For the average couple or single person this is a fine set to start out with.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program The color is a beautiful and attention grabbing bright red. The cookware is a heavy gauge Teflon nonstick aluminum. Every piece is dishwasher safe. The heavy gauge aluminum helps prevent burning and reduces hotspots for an even heated bottom of the pot or pan. I like this set because it last longer than most any Teflon coated cookware. It is easy to clean and it's not the cheap no name brands that you can find for half the price. Amazon offers this at a good price and is competitive with other retailers.Please follow directions if you haven't use Teflon coated cookware because it will be ruined if you use a metallic utensil with it. The set comes with four nice non metallic utensils....Slotted Spoon, Solid Spoon, Slotted Turner, Whisk. Also includes two saucepans, 1 & 3 quart with lids, five quart Dutch Oven, 9"&11" skillets and 2.75-Quart Covered Saute pan. Amazon also offers this set in black, but I prefer the red because it matches my KitchenAid mixer as well as my toaster.
The lids are glass and oven proof up 350F. The handles are coated, which keeps them cool to the touch. Also the handles are not only welded but also riveted to prevent dangerous spillage of hot foods. Also this is a sign of Faberware quality. Faberware has been in the cookware business since 1904, over a hundred years and if you live in the states I bet you parents owned Faberware cookware.
This set would be a great starter set or for a small kitchen because they take little storage space. We have a large stainless steel commercial gas range and usually keep one or two pots displayed on it for cosmetic reasons. If you have a large kitchen and like to prepare hot food, this set is a must have for the price. Even if you want to mix and match your cookware like we do, the red color goes well with SS. My wife is a caterer and is really rough on cookware, and after 6 months this set has held up nicely without anything breaking. I recommend this FABERWARE cook set for anyone that enjoys the culinary arts to even frying an egg. It will last a long time IF you take proper care of the Teflon coating.
Thanks for reading my review. M. Hyatt ~THE HATCHERY.
Best Deals for Farberware Dishwasher Safe Nonstick 14-Piece Cookware Set
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program First, I must say that I only got these because I got them to review. Typically we do not buy non-stick pans because I am concerned about toxicity. You can only use plastic utensils with these pans. And the ones that come with it are a little bit flimsy. That said, I assume if you are buying these you will buy them aware of the risks of non-stick pans, so I'll review them as such. I've used them about 10 times to cook, very carefully at heat that is not too high, with plastic utensils and they worked well.Note that the set includes a 1 and 3 qt. saucepan, a 5 qt. dutch oven, and a 9 and 11 inch skillet and a 2.5 quart saute pan. The skillets do not have lids, but the others do.
Nothing stuck to the pans, which was great.
I would suggest that these would be a good set for someone who is not a regular cook maybe a young college student or someone just getting started out. They heat up quickly because they are thin and they heat a little unevenly. Not a big deal for minor cooking, but if you are more serious or cook a lot, it is not ideal.
They can go in the dishwasher and the times I used them it did not seem to cause any harm to them. I am skeptical about that over time, but I'll have to wait a year or so before I can report on that.
Overall, this is not a cheap set of pans. I would put them better than a start set you might get at Wal-mart and a good value for the price. But not a good option if you want pans you'll be cooking with a lot over many years.
Honest reviews on Farberware Dishwasher Safe Nonstick 14-Piece Cookware Set
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Four pots with lids, two pans plus utensils makes this set a good choice for those setting up a kitchen on a budget. When my wife and I were married 25 years ago, we purchased a Farberware stainless steel set (not inexpensive at the time) which we still have today. We found at the time that although the pots were very well-made, the frying pans (without teflon) required much more oil or fat to be useful. So we ended up buying teflon frying pans of various sizes over the years. Conversely, the deep pots in this set are also teflon coated, which we feel is perhaps not necessary, and since the teflon coatings tend to wear out much sooner than the pots themselves, will ultimately limit the useful lifespan of this set. However, the manufacturer has also included a few utensils, which will hopefully remind users that using plastic or wood will greatly increase the longevity of the set. The weight is reasonable, not too light, and the ability to place in the medium oven, as well as wash in the dishwasher, is a plus. For the price, very reasonable.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Farberware Dishwasher Safe Nonstick 14-Piece Cookware Set
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program For the price I think you could do better!! Most non stick pots and pans these days are very durable and you can use any kind of utensil with them. These pots and pans you can use only non stck/plastic type utensils or you risk damaging the non stick surface. A set of plastic/non stick utensils is included.Becasue I am used to being able to use metal utensils I found myself forgetting to use non metal in these pans.I have some other non stick pieces of another brand. The surfaces are guaranteed for the life of the pan and you can use metal utensils in them. The smaller frying pan does not come with a cover and I tried using a cover one of the sauce pans and it does not work. This set has two sauce pans a big one and a little one ,which I found to be lacking and would prefer a middle size sauce pan too. They are attractive. I like that they have see through lids with cool touch handles. The jumbo cooker can go into the oven as long as the temp is not above 350 dergrees again most of the ones I have seen/used are good to 400 degrees some even higher.They are dish washer safe. I think they are ok if you do not do alot of cooking. While one may not be able to find another better set for this price I think spending a little more for better quality would be wise in the long run!December 24,2012
I want to warn you that the plastic utensils that come with the cookware are not what I classify as safe. The plastic absorbs heat and will burn skin.
