Is that an easy burning pot? The bottom layer seems to be thin and light which may help the food inside to be burnt easily!

When cooking with these pots, you have to keep the fire low, as they are thin..After using farberware, put some soap & water inside, while putting other dinnerware in the dishwasher.I always use Barkeepers friend. It keeps them shinny..Never put them in the dishwasher. Over time it will ruin the handlesThe Farberware that is made in China as this one is, has a thicker bottom...I only have one of the made in china Farberware..I'm now buying from thrift shop's the Farberware made in the USA...No more China junk...Believe me there is a differences..

I've used this pot for preparing a variety of foods and never had a problem.

I bought this pot as a replacement for one that I gave away from my original Farberware cook set that is over 25 years old...you can't kill it! The original was made in the USA and appears to be clad a little differently on the bottom than this one that is now made in China. The handles are of a different material although they can be used in the oven up to 350 degrees although I always cover the handles in foil. When I knock on the bottom of this pot, the sound is substantial. It doesn't have that tinny sound that cheap cookware has. While it may not be the finest cookware on the market, it is a very good pot that does not scorch. Imprinted on the bottom is Durable Stainless Steel, Impact Bonded. Also, I don't give it any special treatment. I just throw it in the dishwasher. Hope this helps.

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

Not an easy burning pot. Very good cooking pot cleans easily. Recommend these pots. My grandmother used them. Love them

I am careful with this pot. I use if for spaghetti boiling or for vegetables. For stews or higher heat foods use heavier pot.

I find "ALL" pots burn to some degree if the contents are starchy. You will need to stir occasionally to avoid any burning, even though it is non-stick. Even in my slo-cooker starchy foods burn that are in direct contact with the pan bottom. Phil

Haven't checked on times, sorry. That burner is HOT, though, would not take long. You need to be careful of aluminum pans with thin bottoms, it will warp them and if you let them boil dry it will burn through, I am told.

Yes the food sticks and burns easily. We tried turning the heat down and it stills has the same problem. So disappointed we bought a different one with a ceramic interior which works really well. I hope this is helpful.

Yes. The bottom is very thick - I purchased this type because it resembles an All-Clad stock pot at a fraction of the cost. I brew beer in this and it sits on my burner on high for over 3 hours. No problems.

I had to pull mine out and look at it, because I hadn't even noticed, but yes, it does have a heavy bottom. Even with the heavy bottom I still have to stir continuously when it comes to a full boil or things can burn and stick (burned chunks in chili just doesn't work). I will only cook my pinto beans in this pot, they turn out so tender without a tough skin, but the water doesn't evaporate as it does when cooking them on the stove so I only cover them by about 1.5 inches of water (I know you didn't ask about the beans, it's just a freebie!). Hope this helps.

I have enjoyed these pots and pans as they're easy to use, easy to store and easy to clean; however, I would not use them over an open fire, like a fire pit; the heat from large fire pit flames would probably be too intense. The metal is not thick, like say a cast iron pot. They are designed for light weight cooking and storing and because they are made of an aluminum alloy, they could become too hot fast if used over an open camp fire and potentailly ruin, at the very least the handles. I have a cast iron, number 10 pan for open fires, which is about the only type pan I would use in an open pit fire. For everyday, normal camping and backpacking type cooking, like over a stove with a flame, like a Coleman, or other types of camp stoves, the Texsport set is awesome! I don't belive you'll find another set for this kind of value.

That is correct...it's tri clad on the bottom only....to conduct the heat better and keep it from warping.....It is a nice pressure cooker, well built!

yes I really messed mine up by ignoring those directions - but it was by cooking a sweet mixture that boiled over - sugary substance was trapped between the ridges of the pot bottom - reached an unusually high temp and pock marked the surfaceI'm now considering using this pot as a canner - thinking that it will only contain water and I'll watch carefully so it doesn't boil over (if it were to do so I would quickly remove the pot from the cooktop) - here's hoping . . . !!!

The pot is supposed to work better if the pot is full when you're cooking, so if you're not cooking a whole lot of stuff and you're using a big pot with a lot of space left in the pot, the food may not cook so well.

If it was me, I would look at the trangia triangle stand (or a proper wood burning stove), its roughly the same overall size but the 'floor /plate' does have holes in it better for the fire to breathe... and at the correct height for the flame. Agree with others that its small and no way to feed the fire when the pot on top.

Yes... we make gumbos in this pot regularly and leave it on the stove on low heat for 8 hours or more with no issues. Has a good thick bottom

On the pots, the bottom is smooth, but on the frying pan, there are bumps in the bottom. I find it helpful when cooking things like bacon with just the slightest lift from the grease.

I do not know what the backdrop is for your question, however if you do not have enough liquid, oil, butter or fat in the pot - food will burn. To answer your question I have never had food burn before as I always had enough liquid or fat in this pot.

It's a good pot. I bought it for my sister and she has used it since Christmas. When I was wrapping it, it felt heavy and the bottom was thick.

It's not a heavy duty aluminum pot that you would use a lot of cooking with.

This pot is about the same thickness on the top and bottom. I have roasted several times and find the pot to cook evenly.
