My mother has owned this pan ever since I can remember, and she used it three or four times each week for at least 10 years, from the time I was aware of such things until the time I moved out. She still uses it 15 years later. I truly believe she has never replaced it in all that time. I have since purchased a set for myself including the frying pan, and it is a very durable product. Best and most even heating of any pans I've owned. It's got a very comfortable weight balance and I don't have to worry about the handle getting hot. I like the classic version without the teflon because you never have to worry about scraping the coating off.

I love Farberware Classic and I want to complete my set and never have to worry about buying new pans again.

Farberware classic is great -an inexpensive yet equally functional alternative to the very expensive pots & pans. Note: recently Farberware reduced its quality, in that older Farberware pots & pans had their thick aluminum base completely encased within a stainless steel shell. The newer pots & pans have the aluminum base attached to the bottom, but not encased within a stainless steel bottom. So, their quality is less than it was; most people who "grew up with Farberware" may not realize this. Farberware used to hold the patent on the technique of having the aluminum base CURVE up the side of the pan -they no longer do this, and are the same as many other manufacturers. Also note: if you are buying a 12" pan, this is a HUGE pan, since it has a squareish cross-section. I found it to be so absolutely huge -you could fry a dozen onions in this monster -that I simply never use it. The 10" and 8" sizes may be what you're looking for!

How many products do you know when you buy it that it will last 30 or 40 years? This is one of them. My mom has had hers for 35 years, I've had mine for 5. It's simply the best pan out there. It cooks evenly, it goes in the dishwasher, the handles stay cool, and you don't have to use plastic spatulas. The only problem that somebody might have is that it is not nonstick. For that reason my wife usually uses a Calphalon nonstick professional pan, even though it can't be cleaned in the dishwasher and you have to treat it carefully. So if you must have nonstick, buy something else. But if you want a large, beatiful, indestructible pan that will last longer than you will, buy this pan!

Honest reviews on Farberware Classic Stainless Steel 12-Inch Covered Fry Pan

This is a great pan for preparing meals. I generally have trouble with a pan being able to hold all of the ingredients, but this one is definitely up to the task. Although it's not stick-proof, most of my cooking involves sauces or olive oil (usually both), resulting in relatively easy cleanup. Keep in mind that it's very heavy (12 inces of stainless steel), but it doesn't warp, tip over, or get knocked off the counter.

This is a handy-sized frying pan, and the helper handle is great when it is full. It is dishwasher safe. Because it is uncoated, it can scorch, when means hand-washing with a scrubbing pad. Also, because it is large (with the lid) it can be tricky finding a place to store it.

These do what they're intended to do, as they keep wine fresh for several days. They aren't as good as the preservation systems that use inert gas, however those systems are a lot more money.

The instructions say to pump the air out until the gauge is in the red area. Follow these instructions to the letter! If you keep pumping and pumping until the gauge is all the way at the end of the red area, you're going to put so much pressure on the stoppers that the rubber on the flanges will crack. This will cause the stopper to become unusable.

So do not pump too much air out of the bottle and create high pressure if you don't want to frequently replace the stoppers. This is an acceptable device for its price point.

I like it. Used it with red and white wine. Works fine. It shows you how much to pump. It will keep vacuum for a week or so. The wine is preserved only for 3-4 days though. After which the wine will ferment and the taste will alter. NOTE: pull the little cork in the middle all the way up BEFORE pumping the air. Otherwise it won't work!

These are really junk! the flanges in the rubber stoppers break apart after only a few uses and no longer hold vacuum!

Honest reviews on Metrokane V-Gauge Stoppers-Set of 2

I got drawn by the novelty that there is a dial, wine, and vacuum stopper...genius right? Somewhere along the way metrokane decided to cut corners, which is sad because i own a lot of their products. Like many said, the rubber part disintegrates after a while (6 months for me). Meanwhile the cheap grey original vacuum stoppers have lasted 4+ years for me. Stick to the classic.

I have used my metrokane vacuum stoppers for over a year and they work great. I like the fact they have a guage so I feel confident there is a vacuum. it lasts a week. the wine still tastes fresh, even pinot noir which goes off quickly. I wore out the pump and had to replace. the stoppers still work although one got stuck in the red zone so I pried off the plastic cover and pushed it back to zero (blue) . works ok again. the new vacuum product 6254 is electric and looks spiffy but no vacuum guage. add a vacuum guage to the electric vacuum stoppers and I will buy one. Nerd alert: Don't expect microtor vacuums. This is wine not deep space.

I received this pan today and used it to make gravy for dinner. It's the perfect size for making gravy, heating soup, cooking hot cereal for one or two, etc. Initially I was looking for a "butter warmer" and decided to check Anolon Advanced and came across this little pan. Perfect!!

I also own the Anolon Advanced: 3 qt. covered saucepan w/strainer lid; 2 qt. covered saucepan; 1.5 qt covered saucepan (have had these pans for a few months now). These pans are great and worth the money. Water/liquids come to a boil quickly and the pots heat evenly. They are heavy enough where they do not spin around on my glass top range.

I also like the fact that these pans are deeper than the standard saucepan so there is plenty of room if things begin to bubble up a little bit.

One other thing to note: The cover of the 1.5 qt saucepan fits perfectly on the 1 qt. open saucepan so I can use that lid for either of the 2 small pans! Perfect!!

I always hand wash these pans (no effort to cleaning these up) and I do not use metal cooking utensils in them. I don't put the lids in the dishwasher either but I guess one could do so if desired.

I would recommend these pans to my family and friends.

If you need new saucepans and are considering these, do not hesitate.

Purchased in January 2012.The pan is only used to make oatmeal.

Surface looks OK but food began to stick about 1 month ago (Sept. 2012).

Update My wife has oatmeal for breakfast almost every day. It is a pain to clean up. I got her this Anolon non-stick pan (Purchased January 28, 2012). It was used only to make oatmeal. It was only hand washed. After about 4 months it seemed to be less and less non-stick. Surface did and does look fine. I e-mailed Anolon and asked if there was some way to restore the non-stick surface. I thought that maybe cooking oatmeal (with milk) had somehow clogged up the surface. I was told to just send them the pan. I paid the shipping and sent the pan to them. The same pan came back. They said that the warranty was void because we had put it in the dishwasher and damaged the outside surface. Get that, the outside surface. 1) We did not put it in the dish washer. 2) We did not complain about the outside of the pan (which looks the same to me). Not buying any Anolon products ever again.

I really like this sauce pan and I use it a couple of times a week. It is great to have a non-stick pan when I'm cooking grits or oatmeal for breakfast. My one and only complaint is that the ceramic coating is a bit too thin. If you baby this sauce pan it might last a lot longer but that's not how it works in our house. If you put this in the sink and someone comes along and drops in a spoon or puts another smaller pan in it or something bumps up against it on accident then it will leave a scratch or a dent or there will be a hole in the coating. If on the other hand you wash and dry this immediately after each use then it should last a long time. The cost is reasonable so buying one of these every year might make sense to some folks. When mine gets real worn I'll get another one.

I had recently purchased a nuwave induction cooktop. I had decided not to purchase the cookware that came with it because the cost and the shipping was extreme. You cant buy just any cookware to work with an induction cooktop it has to be made of certain material or it will not work. I had been looking at induction cookware for about a month and the prices were very high every where I looked. I decided to do a search on Amazon and found this cookware. I LOVE IT, it works perfectly with the induction cooktop and my ceramic stovetop. This is the best cookware I have ever owned, it is heavy and made beautifully. I hang them on a pot rack and the lids fit nicely over the handles for hanging. The price in unbelievable for such a nice set that is induction capable and the shipping was fast through FedEx. I would definitely recommend this product for use on any cooktop and anyone out there with a nuwave that doesn't want to pay the crazy amount of money for the cookware that comes with it, DONT, this cookware works perfect and is by far cheaper and nicer.

Honest reviews on Cooks Standard NC-00203 Classic Stainless Steel 10-Piece Cookware

I think supreme quality is an understatement on this set. Superb and flawless is the model I would use to describe. This is beyond top quality. It has heft. It is solid with feel. It will last beyond time. And it looks great. Having carefully read the reviews for this line by Cooks, I saw nothing regarding things sticking as in some of there other sets. Why I do not know, but if you start with low heat, oil the pan and increase heat not beyond medium you should not have the sticky bad thing going down. I don't and so why should you unless you drool a lot in your shoe, and wear foot ball helmets and need full time care as you do not get the concept of starting low. If that is the case, maybe you should chase cars and not cook. Now have cooked in some of the best Casinos out West, saw many a kitchen, hold a degree from Johnson and Wells. And I will say this: This is the same quality of item I had used in industrial kitchens for years but just more glossy for the Betty Crockery population at large in the home. I first cleaned my set with low power dish soap, vinegar and lots of it. You know, get the grit away. I am truly floored by the quality. Over the top if you will. I looked at Magma, but it had faults, I looked at Cuisine heart, and seems the reviews all say poor quality control and issues. I looked at other high priced objects and reviews said issues in red, cutting cost, trading on name, business as usual. And so I take a chance upon this gem. Oh boy, does it rock and shine. And I paid 108. U.S. inflated clown bucks and did I ever get value beyond reason. I seldom submit reviews but this set is way the living end. Just get it, and don't look back. I had to write as I feel so strongly about this particular set. And easy to clean. And if you do burn it? Always a first time. Well, put the pan on the stove with a cup of water in it, clear vinegar,some salt, then simmer, add some baking soda (it will bubble) up and simmer for 10 minutes or less. Then pour off the liquid, use a non abrasive sponge and scrub with more baking soda and vinegar, then rinse and dry well. To season, wipe a coat of vegetable oil in the pan put on low medium heat until the pan starts to smoke, then take off the pan and wipe well and let cool. This works on old pans also. Good luck and happy trails!

Only one down-side I notice. The pour-spouts on the sides are not sufficiently pronounced to avoid spilling when pouring oil out. Otherwise the product is perfect for my purpose. P.S. I think an oil/candy thermometer would make a good companion for this item.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

The pot is solid and the handle is very sturdy, everything appear to be a good quality built. I don't use the wire basket so do not know if it performs ok or not.

The conical shape of the pot is excellent for maximum heat transfer and the material is good for heat retention. The inner side wall is high (deep?) enough to reduce oil splash--having the lid also further this cause. The vented lid is an excellent idea for minimizing condensation--it worked!

Finally, the handles are excellent for supporting the weight of the pot, especially when filled with oil.

Excellent unit. Heavy, well made, and does the job perfectly. I would recommend this fryer highly. Until a few weeks ago I had an electric deep fryer (Euro Pro) that didn't do the job very well and just decided to die while I was making a home fish fry. No more electrics for me. Don't forget to get a thermometer if you don't have one.

Honest reviews on MIU France Hard-Anodized Aluminum Stovetop Deep Fryer

Having been a user of electric deep fryers and going through the frustration of heating elements that don't get the oil hot, I decided to get a stovetop model. I also despise the planned obsolescence that any electrical product is subjected to these days. You just know that we could easily make a product that would last twenty years.... but no, we have to make garbage that will break within a predefined amount of time and force the consumer to purchase another one... and toss the old one in a landfill. I've owned three of them in the past six years or so. It also looks cool. :)

This one is very nice. High quality parts. I only just tried it tonight to make some homemade potato chips. The oil took quite a while to get hot, but that's my gas stove that's the issue. I also found that I probably need to move the oil around to get an accurate reading on the thermometer that I bought along with this product. I clipped it to the side and watched. Once it reached 380+ degrees, I dropped in about 1 large potato's worth of very thinly sliced potatos that had been soaking in ice water. Boom, the temp dropped to 275 degrees (after stirring them around). I could also tell by the amount of sizzle that it was nowhere near 380 degrees. So, lesson learned, stir the oil around to determine actual temperature with a thermometer clipped to the side.

Other comments: The primary handle stayed quite cool to the touch and is quite sturdy. The other side's safety handle got pretty hot, so keep your potholders handy. The basket handle also stayed cool. I'm sure that after several uses, I'll get the hang of using this. Even with the temperature issue, the chips I made were very tasty.

A fryer like this requires at least a good thermometer. I also bought a funnel/strainer so that I can get a few uses out of the oil. I'm going to enjoy experimenting with this product. I would highly recommend to other people who like to deep fry occasionally and despise corporations that produce products that intentionally break within a year or two of regular use.

One last thing, shipping was super fast on this item and it arrive in perfect condition.

I don't do a whole lot of deep frying but this one works great for chicken wings which is the main reason I bought it. I also use it to fry oysters which is nice since they can drain in the basket and it can hold a whole pint at once. Use it for frying catfish also. I'm sure it would also work great for anything you wanted to fry. It's large enough for most families (although I only cook for myself). The basket is a definite plus for draining cooked foods and is made from solid material, not flimsy or cheap feeling. The overall unit is solid. Also the lid works great as a splatter screen. Overall I'm glad I made this purchase.

I've had this pan for several months now and had previously been used to frying with regular cast iron or stainless steel. I have a flat top stove and am not supposed to use my cast iron on it so I thought I would try this one instead. I've found that the interior is better than stainless steel for cooking certain things (like over-easy eggs) with a simple clean-up and minimal sticking. It's also good for reheating left-over meals, or making pancakes.

However, when I tried cooking things like sausage, or stir-fry meat, or with any sauces that contained sugar, I ended up with charred bits that would not come off. I tried boiling the pan with vinegar, or scouring gently with baking soda and nothing works. I did of course follow the directions and have never cooked on any setting above medium (usually, I use medium low). Then I made the mistake of frying falafel in the pan. I now have a permanent layer of caramelized oil on the bottom of my pan. Add the two chips on the handle that came off within the first week of use (and I am extremely gentle with this pan), and I would have to say I am fairly disappointed.

I also own the Lodge Enamel 6 quart dutch oven, and that item is fabulous. Not a chip or stain on it, even though I use it extensively. Also, I have fried up some of the same things in the dutch oven as the fry pan with no sticking/stains in the dutch oven, but with permanently charred bits in the fry pan. Lodge should have made this one with the glossy interior.

Perhaps I'll replace this one with the 3 quart covered casserole since it has the glossy interior.

Browns nicely, very nonstick, easy cleanup. I was surprised that the inside was a matte enamel finish that is not smooth like the the inside of the dutch oven . It works just great though. The other good news is that the lid from the 6 quart dutch oven fits it perfectly. Lodge Enamel on Cast Iron 6 Quart Dutch Oven, Caribbean Blue

Now one down side is that this thing is heavy as hell. Without the helper handle it would be very awkward to lift unless you are built like Arnold Schwarzenegger (at least how he used to be built). This isn't for your grandmother (unless she is a weightlifter).

An update. We have had absolutely no sticking problems. We cooked a salmon dish last night with a sauce that had some sugar in it. No problems (and absolutely delicious BTW) . A chicken dish with ricotta, the other day, worked great. I use a little higher heat, up to medium high, then slow it down to medium when browning. Let the food release before flipping.

No soaking, no scrubbing, just the plastic thing (on the other side of the kitchen sponges, can't think of the name), hot water, dish soap and almost no elbow grease.

I'd say it is a bargain. We have mostly Calphalon in our kitchen but are using this extensively. It looks good too.

Best Deals for Lodge Color Enameled Cast Iron Skillet, 11-Inch

Pretty good pan. A lot easier to maintain and keep clean than a traditional cast iron pan. The "white enamel" style fry pans are more non-stick than this with liquid items like eggs. The "satin enamel" finish in this one, which is a rough cast iron type finish with a dark gray enamel coating, tends to stick less on solid items like steak and bacon.

So you may use a little more fat in this pan than in one of the ones using a smooth bottom white enamel style, which all of the other Lodge pans use.

This type of finish is also going to be a lot harder to scratch or scrape with tools, and wont show a scratch as much.

If you're going to cook cornbread and scrambled eggs 95% of the time...I might consider one of the white smooth enamel bottom. If you're going to sear a lot of meats and dont mind using a bit of fat with your cornbread or eggs, this will work great and you cant beat the price.

Honest reviews on Lodge Color Enameled Cast Iron Skillet, 11-Inch

This handy little skillet is actually a HEAVY WEIGHT! It has the durability of cast iron, and the convenience of non-stick coating. I hesitated when ordering because I have had teflon skillets that would flake after a while, but this is not like the non-stick of old. It has a 25-year limited warantee!

Since I have an electric stove, it took some time to learn how to adust the stove because it retains the heat so well. I finally started turning the stove off the last 10 minutes or so. That works great for me. Also, if I'm cooking a steak, I sear it good on one side, turn it, and finish cooking in the oven at 450* for another 10 minutes. That's another thing I like...the fact that the skillet can go right from the stovetop to the oven. Careful, because the handle does get very hot, and also the skillet is HEAVY because it's cast iron, but it's a good heavy!

After using this skillet I can state that it has all the features of the French Le Creuset line at a quarter the price. No need to say more than that.

If you like using cast iron cookware you will be well served with this line of Lodge Enamel which however, unlike the original made in USA products, are now made in China. Though I prefer to buy American, I am so satisfied that I went ahead and ordered the Lodge Enamel 10 inch Grill Pan as well. These products have an enamel coating on both the outside and the inside surfaces and, unlike the original Lodge products, require no seasoning.

Cast iron cookware works extremely well on induction plates as the temperature can be adjusted in very fine increments and the entire pan heats evenly through magnetic induction without any hot spots. The combination of cast iron and induction yields great results.

Four stars instead of five as the inside enameling should be applied in a thicker coat to better hide the casting grain.

I really like this. It's nice looking, sturdy and practical. I like that I can put hot water in the base, but don't have to. I also like that with the base, I don't seem to get any honey on my counter top.

For those of you who have never owned or seen one of these before. The honey flows out the bottom of the glass jar, controlled by the lever on top. This doesn't pour like a syrup dispenser. It's really rather nifty!

The only thing I could say that they could improve is that it can be a little cumbersome to fill. The hole on the bottom will leak the honey out as you fill it if you don't keep your finger over the hole. A little filler plug would be a nice edition.

It's okay, but just okay. The top, which looks like metal in the picture, is chromed plastic. I wonder how long the plastic opening mechanism will last.

I can think of only a few uses for this, but at the price I figure that I could buy a few and have a "make your own fajita" party or something and then throw them away if they aren't worth storing.

The overall manufacturing seems good, though I would have expected/hoped that the grilling surface was a little more substantial (cast iron) rather than pie-tin-thin.

Whenever my ex and I had guests over, we'd break this out and serve shrimp and other meats with various seasonings. Everyone had a blast, and it's a great way to spend time with your guests instead of running back and forth to the kitchen. Just put it on the coffee table (don't worry, the bottom doesn't get hot), crack open a few beers, and let your guests have fun cooking their own food! When I moved to my own place, I ran out and bought two more of these babies!

Honest reviews on Casa Moda Smokeless Tabletop Grill with Ceramic Tray

My children and I use this OUTSIDE for fajitas and end up surrounded by neighborhood children and adults! We're the hit of the neighborhood and finish off our meals by popping off the top (be careful, it's hot!) by using the included forks for s'mores!

This is a versitile, not-for-adults-only indoor and out grill. It's very attractive, quite the conversation piece, easy to set up and to clean.

We use it much more than I ever dreamed. Originally I'd envisioned using it for romantic tete-a-tetes or for entertaining but surprisingly a pleasant surprise this grill has evolved into a useful and used often family cooking staple! Just add water and a sterno and voila! It cooks anything you would normally grill, just make sure your meats are thinly sliced. Heat and eat! Yum!

My eight-year-olds (well supervised of course) LOVE "showing off" before their friends. What a hit at slumber parties! Barbecue indoors! Conversation piece galore! Of course this makes for perfect gifting too: Neighbors, friends, teachers, coaches, babysitters, PTA donations... endless!

HIGHLY reccommend!

I bought this as a gift for my sister, who didn't think she would use it. It works very well and we have a ball slicing chicken, veggies, scallops -whatever. Make a few sauces and sit around the table grilling and chatting until you are full. Great for entertaining with a glass of wine. Something different and fun. Works very well and easy to clean. Big to store, but I don't have much space. It is also really smokeless.

Although a little heavy to lift since it is cast iron; however, I sincerely love this pan. It heats extremely well and evenly and allows even browning. It is extremely easy to clean, even when over-browned on the bottom just boil a little water with baking soda and it comes right off when no staining. I would like to replace my newer Calphalon pans with this type of pan since the new Calphalon pans are made in China and are paper thin, cheap quality.

My only question about the pan is how will the enamel finish hold up in the future will the enamel coating chip or break off with general use and care.

It's big and heavy but what else would you expect from something made in cast iron. Cleans up easily. Great price for a great item.

the Chicken Fryer is heavy and cooks evenly and well. My grandchildren will leave it in their will. The deep sides make it very convenient for frying chicken. Thanks.
