Our Cookware Lines
Farberware cookware sets are available in multiple configurations — from compact 10-piece starter sets to complete 15-piece collections. Whether you prefer the timeless appeal of stainless steel or the convenience of nonstick ceramic, there is a Farberware line built for your kitchen and cooking style.
Timeless Stainless Steel
The Farberware Classic Series is the benchmark for reliable, everyday stainless steel cookware. Full aluminum-clad bases eliminate hot spots for even heat across every burner. Iconic bell-shaped lids seal in flavor and moisture, while the polished finish makes these pots and pans as elegant as they are functional. Compatible with all cooktops including induction.
Ceramic Non-Stick
The Glide Ceramic Nonstick collection combines effortless cooking with peace-of-mind safety. The PFOA and PTFE-free copper-toned ceramic interior provides a naturally slick surface that requires minimal oil for cooking and minimal effort for cleanup. Ideal for eggs, fish, and delicate sauces where food release is critical.
Professional Performance
Designed for the serious home cook, the Farberware Millennium Series delivers restaurant-quality results at an honest price. Silicone-enhanced stainless handles stay cool on the stovetop while thick aluminum encapsulated bases provide superior heat retention and distribution. The brushed stainless finish resists scratches and maintains its professional look for years.
Why Farberware Cookware
Farberware cookware is designed around one principle: give every home cook access to professional-quality tools without the professional price tag. Here is what makes every Farberware piece worth owning.
Farberware's aluminum-clad and aluminum-encapsulated bases eliminate hot spots across the entire cooking surface. Whether you are reducing a sauce on low heat or searing a steak at high temperature, you get consistent, predictable results every time. This is the engineering that separates quality cookware from cheap alternatives.
Every piece of Farberware cookware is backed by a Lifetime Limited Warranty against defects in material and workmanship under normal household use. This commitment to long-term quality is the reason generations of families have trusted Farberware — and continue to pass their cookware down.
Modern Farberware lines are engineered for the way real families actually cook and clean. Dishwasher-safe construction across the stainless steel lines means you spend more time at the table and less time at the sink. Nonstick lines are recommended for hand washing to extend coating life.
Classic and Millennium stainless steel series work on all cooktops: induction, gas, electric, and glass-ceramic. This universal compatibility makes Farberware cookware a smart investment — your pots and pans will work in any kitchen, now or in the future.
Farberware uses 18/10 stainless steel — the same grade found in professional restaurant kitchens. The 18% chromium and 10% nickel composition resists corrosion, prevents food reactions, and maintains a bright, mirror-like finish even after years of daily use.
Since 1900, Farberware has been one of America's most recognized kitchen brands. Sold at major retailers including Amazon, Walmart, and Target, Farberware cookware offers unmatched value — premium quality construction and performance at a price point accessible to every household.
From stovetop to oven — seamless cooking
Oven Safe Performance
Phenolic-handled Farberware pieces are oven safe to 350°F, while stainless steel-handled pieces handle up to 500°F — giving you the freedom to sear on the stovetop and finish in the oven exactly as professional chefs do. This versatility eliminates the need for separate roasting pans and braisers.

Our Heritage
Farberware was founded in 1900 by Simon Walter Farber in New York City. From the beginning, the brand was guided by a single philosophy: cookware should be both beautiful and supremely functional. Farber believed that every American home cook deserved access to the same tools used in professional kitchens.
The pioneering "Coffee Robot" percolator introduced millions of American households to the Farberware name in the early 1900s. The brand then became synonymous with stainless steel cookware innovation, introducing the first fully-clad aluminum base construction that eliminated the hot spots which plagued cheaper alternatives.
Today, Farberware cookware is still the brand families inherit and pass down. Sold at Amazon, Walmart, and Target, the brand remains true to Farber's original vision: premium quality at a price point that is always honest and accessible.
Every Farberware product carries the weight of 125+ years of American kitchen heritage — and the reassurance of a Lifetime Limited Warranty that backs that legacy with a real guarantee.
Customer Reviews
Farberware cookware has earned thousands of verified reviews from real cooks who rely on it every day. Here is what they are saying about their collections.
“I've had my Farberware Classic stainless set for over 12 years and it still looks and performs like new. The even heating is incredible — no more scorched spots on my sauces. I bought a second set for my daughter when she got married.”

“Switched from a generic nonstick set to the Farberware Millennium and the difference is night and day. Food browns evenly, the handles stay cool, and cleanup is a breeze. Worth every penny — and this is coming from someone who was skeptical about spending more.”
David R.

“I was worried about switching to ceramic nonstick but the Glide collection has been flawless. Eggs slide right off with zero oil, the copper color looks beautiful in my kitchen, and knowing it's PFOA-free gives me real peace of mind cooking for my family.”

Care & Maintenance
Farberware cookware is built to last a lifetime — and with the right care, it will. Follow these six essential maintenance tips to protect your investment and keep every piece performing and looking its best for decades to come.
01
Even on metal-utensil-safe stainless steel lines, nylon, silicone, or wooden utensils will significantly extend the life of your cookware's surface and finish. Metal utensils can leave micro-scratches that accumulate over time, dulling the polished look of stainless and shortening the lifespan of nonstick coatings.
02
Unlike cast iron, Farberware nonstick surfaces need no seasoning. A light wipe of cooking oil before the very first use is all the prep required. The ceramic and PTFE coatings are ready to perform right out of the box — no curing, no oven treatment, no complicated break-in ritual.
03
Remove rainbow heat tints from Farberware stainless steel with Bar Keepers Friend cleanser or a white vinegar soak. Apply the powder to a damp cloth, rub in small circular motions, then rinse thoroughly. Your pan will look brand new. Avoid steel wool or abrasive pads, which permanently scratch the mirror finish.
04
While most Farberware stainless steel lines are dishwasher-safe, hand washing with warm soapy water and a soft sponge is always recommended. Dishwasher detergents and high-heat drying cycles can dull exterior finishes over time. For nonstick pieces, hand washing is essential to preserve the coating's food-release properties.
05
For stainless steel, always preheat your pan over medium heat for 1–2 minutes before adding oil or food. A properly preheated stainless pan is naturally less sticky. The water droplet test is a reliable guide: if water beads and dances across the surface, your pan is at the right temperature.
06
Farberware's aluminum-clad construction distributes heat so efficiently that you rarely need to cook above medium heat. High heat is reserved for boiling water or quick searing. Cooking on excessively high heat with nonstick pans can degrade the coating over time and produce unnecessary smoke.
Complete Cookware Sets
Farberware cookware sets are available in configurations ranging from 10 to 20 pieces, designed to equip your kitchen for any cooking task. A typical Farberware stainless steel cookware set includes a 1-quart and 2-quart saucepan, a 3-quart sauté pan, a 4.5-quart dutch oven, and an 8-inch and 10-inch skillet — plus matching lids for each piece.
All Farberware sets are backed by the brand's Lifetime Limited Warranty, ensuring that your investment is protected for as long as you own and use your cookware. Sets are available at Amazon, Walmart, and Target, often at significant discounts compared to purchasing individual pieces.
For apartment dwellers or those setting up a first kitchen, the 10-piece Classic Series set is an ideal starting point. For larger households or more ambitious cooking, the 15-piece Millennium set provides the full range of pots, pans, and saucepans needed for everyday cooking from breakfast through dinner.
