Faberware would be more durable. First the big pot came not round but likle smashed, so the top does not fit. One of the most important pot for us. Wife did not begin to us it till we had company and found out after the 60 day window to complain or exchange that one pot. The set itself is pretty Good and sturdy. Jimmie Irizarry

I think Farberware would be more durable. I only cook for myself and don't do a lot of cooking, so these work fine for me. If I were still cooking for a family, I would choose something larger and more durable.

So far I have not had any problems with these pans. The handles seem very sturdy to me. The pots are very easy to clean, just soak for a little while and it just wipes clean. I love these pots and pans.

I have very large pots on these stands, and they are also saturated often. These are very durable stands, and I have no indication that they will break. I think you will be pleasently surprised.

I will be honest with you. These pots are cheaply made. Save your money and buy some from Cuisinart or some other brand.

We've had our set for a month. I am a little more careful with this set then I have been with pots and pans in the past. I try not to use metal utensils on them. The pans and potsare really pretty sturdy. I'm not worried.

I have been very happy with the Calphalon Commercial line. I have the 12qt pot and the 12" everyday pan. They won't win a beauty contest but they work well and are durable. To add to what Foodie said, the up-scale lines (One, Contemporary, Tri-Ply) have lifetime warranties. The "Simply Calphalon" and "Commercial" lines do not.

yes and they do outclass a plastic pot by far . Buy the ones with handles , if you plan to move them often.

I bought my copper one in 2005. It still is drop dead gorgeous. It sits on the counter and is used at minimum once a week. I have every attachment and beater and a 6 qt model for larger tasks. Since the bowl on the tilt up model screws onto a stainless steel base and is used most often with a Rubbermaid spatula you would have to deliberately scratch it. These products are tough and the 5 qt and up are used in restaurants and test kitchens. My executive chef husband has two in his kitchen. His grandmother had one for over 40 years in off white. They are very durable.Your hardest problem would be deciding on a color. I bought my copper one in 2005. It still is drop dead gorgeous. It sits on the counter and is used at minimum once a week.

I checked the box, the pot and the Farberware website adn was unable to obtain this information without actually calling their contact numbers.However, I must say I am happy with the pot, it is heavy and I have not had a scorching/burning problem with any of the foods I have cooked in it.

The handles are coated plastic/vinyl over metal. I have only used the pots a few times, they seem to be durable.

I bought some of these pots last year to grow vegetables in and they have held up quite well. You likely will get several years out of them and growing perennials shouldn't be a problem.

The anodized surface is very durable, harder to scratch than teflon type non-sticks. I've had a set of All-Clad pots and pans for over 20 years, they're great. You'll love this griddle, the dual temperature controls are very precise. Five Stars as far as I'm concerned. I use it every week.

They seem to be both durable and very common- http://www.amazon.com/Harold-Imports-Porcelain-Souffle-Ramekin/dp/B0020KX5DW

I have some of my Farberware pots for over 50yrs. I still use them and the only time food burns is when I have the heating setting too high and I forget the pot on the stove! If you may do the same, in cleaning the pot,pour some white vinager and let it stand and the pot will look like new!! Just purchased a 3qt pot and love it!! Jeanne

All Clad pots in general have a lifetime guarantee. Any of those things happen, you can sent it back and they will replace it. That having been said, neither will happen! All Clad is made of the best stainless steel and the handle will NEVER break. Sorry to sound like a commercial but I love, love, love their products!!

I needed a new set of pans for the very same reason you stated. I chose Farberware because I got a few pans 59 years ago that have withstood the test of time. They weren't warped a bit. I chose a set of new Farberware!
