Customer Reviews
Farberware Millennium vs Cuisinart Classic5
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.
Overall great...4
Overall this is a great set of pots and pans. As far as cooking goes, they do the job and look good doing it. However, be very careful not to burn them, because I've found if you do, even slightly, it will be virtually impossible to remove.
Farberware Millennium A-15
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.
