Farberware

Buying Guide: Farberware Kitchen Tools

Pots and Saucepans
The Farberware classic series saucepan is a 1 qt. covered stainless steel pan with a thick aluminum core for even heating, suited to foods such as oatmeal or poached eggs. The 8 qt. stock pot is meant for slow simmering soups, stews and chili, and it is large enough for pasta. Check the capacity you need before you choose between the two.

Knives, Shears and Utensils
Farberware knives include an 8 in. slicer knife with a blade cover, and kitchen shears with stainless steel blades and non-slip handles. Tongs, a potato masher, a pizza wheel and nylon cooking tools such as a ladle, basting spoon and slotted turner round out the line. Hand wash the knife with warm water and mild detergent, then dry it right away.

Straining and Draining
Strainers, a mini colander and a kitchen sink strainer help you drain pasta, rinse produce and catch food scraps. Cheesecloth is useful for straining stocks and broth, as well as for canning and wrapping cheese. Measure your sink or bowl before ordering a strainer so the size suits the job.

What does Farberware make?
Farberware offers kitchen products such as stainless steel saucepans and stock pots, knives, shears, tongs, can openers, strainers, colanders, cutting boards, cheesecloth and cooking utensils like potato mashers, pizza wheels and ladles.

How do I choose the right size or type?
Pick pot capacity based on how much food you cook, such as a 1 qt. saucepan for small batches or an 8 qt. stock pot for soups. For a sink strainer, measure your sink first, and when replacing a part, match the part number or size on the old part.

Does the battery operated can opener come with batteries?
No, the Farberware battery operated can opener does not include its 2 AA batteries, so you will need to buy those separately. The opener has a comfort grip and a magnet that helps lift the lid after the can is opened.
