I ordered the Farberware 2 quart saucepan with double boiler to complete a starter set of Farberware Millenium cookware. I almost didn't order the double boiler because of the possibility of a mismatch. I am glad I ordered the classic pan. It has the same outer shape as the Millenium set. It is more square than round on the bottom, although the featured picture makes the classic pan look more round. A square piece connects the handle to the pan and it adds a nice touch to the design. The 18/10 stainless steel helps make the match. I am glad I ordered (and opened) the "classic piece" to add to my Millenium set. Every millenium needs a touch of the old to mark the changes in the new! Bye the way, the Farberware is a virtual steal both for the quality and appeal.

This is good old Farberware quality. Sturdy with a heat distributing bottom. The fit of the two parts is excellent. I see no reason why this won't last for years.

Made in Thailand

All I have to say, is TAMALES!!!! this is the pot that'll cook em... hehehehe

I had been using my grandmother's pizzelle maker. I always burned myself trying to get the pizzelle off b/c they always stuck even though it was "seasoned". I also never knew for sure when the pizzelle were cooked thusly ruining some when I opened it too early or too late. This one heats up quick, has the indicator lights, and is wonderfully teflon coated! It was a breeze making pizzelle cannoli shells with it. The only beef I have with it is the ridiculous little spoon that came with it. That spoon is no good! I just used a regular teaspoon.

I just received my cuisinart pizzelle maker and already I feel like a pro. It makes perfect pizzelles by following the easy to use directions that come with it. Previously I used the old-fashioned pizzelle iron that you turn over a gas flame. I wish I had my electric pizzelle maker about 20 years ago. The compact size makes it easy to store in my kitchen. I would definitely recommend this model to anyone who likes tasty cookies with minimal effort.

When I got this maker, I thought it was so "cute". My Mom makes pizzelles all the time and she loved the compact size. It stores easy and makes the BEST pizzelles in a very short amount of time. My Mom said, "Please order one for me?" So I did. Yesterday my daughter my mom and I were fighting about who makes the next batch! You will be so happy, you ordered this...I promise.
Don't pay more for a maker that probably won't compare.

I would highly recommend this to anyone who is considering buying food storage containers. It has kept my food fresh for days, they are very durable, and dishwasher safe.

Much healthier than microwaving in toxin-leaching plastic.. food tastes good. Darn hard to break and the lid is more durable than other brands so it really lasts well. I take these to work for my lunches.. mmm mmm.

If you know someone who is just getting married, setting up a household, in college... well, ANYONE... these are the perfect gift! They are heavy duty, don't absorb odors like plastic containers, and go straight from the fridge to the microwave. All of us have busy lives, and my husband (he's a cook for a living) and I use these daily. They are a great buy!

I ordered this set a few weeks ago and used the super saver shipping. Received them pretty quick - within four days. The knives are pretty good quality and are actually thicker and heavier than I would have thought for the price. They are also well balanced and feel good in my hand. The finish (urethane)on the block that came with the set was not applied properly and probably should not have passed QC. Other than that I'm very happy with the knives.

I bought a Farberware forged set from a department store at Christmas and paid twice this much. Frankly I was surprised by the quality of a Farberware set, but for those of you not familiar the fact that this is forged makes quite a positive difference. The knives are heavy and well balanced. Like all cutlery they need to be sharpened with a steel after every few uses, and although these claim to be dishwasher safe you should never wash your cutlery in the dishwasher, and should always hand dry. This is a good purchase and worth 5 stars for the price.

It is a great set and I haven't had any rust problems as some earlier comments. Maybe its b/c I don't put them into the DishWasher. The scissors alone are worth the 30 bucks in my opinion. Definetely a good buy. I bought two sets for future gifts...

The Global 10" is a great knife that comes with a very sharp edge. It is rather light (at least for a 10" knife) and is well balanced. It is well situated for both slicing meats and cutting and dicing vegetables, as it is easy to hold the knife forward towards its blade for a quick and balanced wrist action. The only reason I gave this knife 4 stars and not five is due to the handle. While it is dimpled it can still get slippery when cutting fatty meat. I would prefer a synthetic handle covering, but otherwise this is a well designed tool -- perhaps the best chef's knife available now.

I have the 12 inch version of this knife as well
as the 10 inch bread knife!

Both are incredibly sharp and wonderfully balanced.
Global knives use a very hard steel, so they are not
dish washer proof and need to be cleaned and dried
by hand after use! On the other hand it means they
stay sharp for longer! Another detail is that they
use a non-standard angle for the blade, so a normal
knife sharpener will not work on them as well...

Very expensive, but will last very, very long if

cared for and I really love these knives. I take
them with me whenever I go to a cooking/eating party
at friends places, as using other knives just feels
awkward now...

worth every penny....

I recently got this knife; I had been wanting a Global Chef's knife since I was given a Global utility knife as a gift. I was very impressed with it, to say the least.
This knife is very sharp and Stays sharp. Unlike the famous European colleagues that look very classic, but go dull in a short time and require round the clock steeling and sharpening, the Global can do the same amount of work with much less upkeep.
I would recommend this knife to anyone working in a kitchen, commercial or home use.
It is extremely light, and perfectly balanced. I use it at work, and it has never let me down. I do recommend the handheld sharpener for touch-ups, it returns the blade to a close factory edge.
It should be noted that the handle should be kept dry when you are working, because it will slip because of the nature of the design. That is it's only flaw.
