Far­ber­ware Clas­sic 8 Quart Stock­pot with Lid

For decades Far­ber­ware has been an inte­gral part of many Amer­i­can kitchens. Here’s a pot that will see reg­u­lar use, sea­son after sea­son, offer­ing up stick-to-your-ribs stews and soups in the win­ter, and corn on the cob and pasta for salad in the sum­mer time.

User Rat­ings and Reviews

4 Stars great stock­pot, except it arrived shiny not matt
great stock­pot with a thick bot­tom, except it is not matt as the pic­ture sug­gests. It is shiny show­ing clearly the fin­ger­prints after you touch it.

5 Stars Easy to Clean Like New
One reviewer here has spo­ken of his or her dif­fi­culty in keep­ing this Far­ber­ware pot in like-new con­di­tion — it’s actu­ally easy to do. What you need is a BLUE Scotchbrite scrub­ber sponge (NOT THE GREEN), and a can of Cameo brand stain­less steel cleaner. Cameo is a pow­der that’s avail­able in most gro­cery stores, some­where near the Comet cleanser. Using the scrub­ber side of the Scotchbrite scrub­ber, scrub the inside with Cameo, and your Far­ber­ware will come back up absolutely like new. The sponge side of the Scotchbrite scrub­ber and Cameo will take care of the out­side — don’t use the scrub­ber side on the outside’s mir­ror fin­ish. Again, the green Scotchbrite scrub­bers are too harsh for either the inside or the out­side of a Far­ber­ware pot– it will leave scratchy scour­ing marks, so be sure to use only the blue. This pot will remain new-looking indef­i­nitely with the use of the blue Scotchbrite scrub­ber and Cameo — I have Far­ber­ware that’s thirty years old, and you can hardly tell it from new. If any­thing burns onto the out­side bot­tom of the pot, a lit­tle oven cleaner will remove it with­out scratch­ing. Far­ber­ware is famous for main­tain­ing its good looks over time, given proper care. I’m sure happy with mine.

4 Stars The Far­ber­ware pots…
I have sev­eral of these pots of dif­fer­ent sizes. I love the way they look when you open the box…all shiney and gleaming…and a nice design. They seem to do the job. The only rea­son I gave it a 4-star instead of a 5-star rat­ing is because the minute I use them, I notice I can never get out the marks left on the inside that show cook­ing use. I’m sure ALL pots do this because I’ve never owned a cook­ing pot that didn’t do this. I was just a lit­tle dis­ap­pointed as it looked so beau­ti­ful out of the box. I bought two of them this go-around — an 8 quart and a 4 quart. The 4 quart imme­di­ately showed “lines along the inside bot­tom” of the pot in all kinds of rain­bow col­ors. The only thing I can attribute it to was the fact that I put a lit­tle bit of oil in the water because I was cook­ing pasta. Both pots (and all pots I’ve ever used) got a mark around the cir­cum­fer­ence of the water line inside which I can’t seem to get out. I don’t think it has any­thing to do with Farberware…I just think all pots do this, unless some­body here can tell me oth­er­wise. All in all, I’m quite happy with Far­ber­ware pots…I’ve had them all my life and I’m old as dirt!

4 Stars Great Pot
Does just what it says it does!! I bought this par­tic­u­lar pot because of the reviews and I am pleased.

4 Stars Good Stock­pot for Sauces & Soups
This is a great clas­sic stock­pot, that my own mother has used for 35 years, and now I am using for my cook­ing needs. Its great for sauces and soups but not much else. I tried to make rice and beans in this pot– which wasnt smart since the rice burned badly on the bot­tom. i also tried to sautee some chicken in the bot­tom which also wasnt smart since the chicken got stuck to the bot­tom of the pot. BUT again, cooked some great sauce and soup in here, and if you cook for many, this is a great sta­ple to have in kitchen.
