Farberware Millennium vs Cuisinart Classic
 
Review Date: October 29, 2007
Reviewer: Olivia,
I have been looking for a set to suppliment my Cuisinart set (3+years) for a while. After looking at samples at Target, I have decided on the Farberware Millennium and one day Amazon had a great price.
Right now Farberware is selling at $129 and Cuisinart 10 pieces at $109 with a muffan pan and tool set rebate.
Both are great sets, but here's the difference.
Farberware's silicone wrapped handle feels better than Cusinart, although cusinart's handle does not heat up in cooking either.
Farberware's lid, again with wrapped handle, is definitely better than Cusinart's. Both lids heat up and you will appreciate the silicone wrap.
Cuisinart has a great mirror finish inside and out; Farberware's finish outside is not as brilliant, inside is almost a matte finish.
Stainless steel is not truely non-stick. The better you keep the mirror finish, the more stick resistant they are. I've had the Cusinart for a long time and it held up really well (no abrasive cleaning). I may have to come back and update you on the non-stick nature of Farberware, but so far so good.
The Farberware Millennium is more modern and expensive looking especially with the graphite colored silicone handles. The Millennium' edges also fare better because they are more rounded and your dishwasher will be happier with it.
If they are selling at the same price, I'd go for Farberware Millennium.


Works well with induction cooktop
 
Review Date: September 4, 2008
Reviewer: C. G. King, Horse Country, VA USA
This stuff heats up super fast and is very efficient with induction technology. I have a good set of cookware that I like very much, but which doesn't work as well as I'd like with my new induction burner. I looked hard to find something that would serve that purpose and found it in this set. I'd done some research and was disappointed to find some cookware says it works with induction, but it really isn't the ideal choice as it doesn't heat up all that fast. Other advertised cookware is very expensive. I just wanted something that would function well with this one burner and wouldn't break the bank. I'm very pleased with this set. While it works on a standard electric or gas cooktop, it is perfect for induction technology and it doesn't seem to have much competition in that department. Highly recommended for that purpose.

Reviewer: K. Domagalski, Cleveland Ohio
I've been cooking with my Farberware Millennium set for 9+ years and would not trade them for anything. Friends and family told me I was crazy for buying a stainless steel set without a anti-stick coating. I never had problems with sticking and my pots and pans still cook and look great. Now friends and family ask if those were the same set I bought 9 years ago? I just smile and ask how many sets they have had? I originally bought them because of their highly polished inside and out quality finish and fit. This set is the Harley-Davidson of cookware; quality and finish in a timeless appearance.
LOVE THIS COOKWARE

Reviewer: Cathy L. Henderson,
This set is ideal for those who want solid made cookware. It's very heavy and well made. The only downfall is the handles get a little hot to the touch. My other Farberware (Classic) never had to worry about that. I love them so much I also got a couple pans in the non stick also. I would say the product is very well worth the money. They seem like they will last a lifetime.
