Farberware Classic 8qt Covered Straining Saucepan

Great pasta pot. Love using for potatoes as well. Nice clean classic design. Expect this will last me a very long time.

Been using Farberware since we married in 1965. It maintains its beauty and continues to function well. And service has always been good with repairs or replacements.

Works great, retains heat

I've had this stockpot for several years and was very happy using it, primarily to boil pasta. I really like the strainer lid and it works well. However, I recently dropped the lid on my laminate floor and the top black knob broke in several pieces. Customer service explained that they do not sell a replacement knob or a replacement lid. They explained that this damage was not covered under the limited warranty because dropping the lid invalidated any coverage. I was very surprised because, while I rarely drop a lid, this does not seem to be an unusual occurrence in the typical home kitchen. I have a variety of cookware pieces that I have used for many years and the knobs are all intact. I ended up gluing all the pieces together so thankfully the pot is still functional. Bottom line: if you buy this pot, treat the lid with kid gloves. If you happen to break the knob on the lid and can't repair it yourself, the whole thing could end up in the trash...what a shame.
