Farberware Classic 8 Quart Covered Straining Stockpot

Product Review

The built-in colander lid lets you strain and drain foods directly from the pan, eliminating the need for a separate colander. To strain, simply twist the lid in place to lock it securely and pour. Thanks to this feature, you'll enjoy having no colander to clean and no food accidentally pouring into the sink. To accommodate a variety of foods, the lid has large and small size holes.

I cook a lot of pasta, and I really like the convenience of a strainer lid.
Most folks say "use a colander", but I like to be able to put things in the sink while I am cooking.
Doesn't make much sense to stop and do the dishes, in the middle of preparation.

I had a crummy Chinese pot, that served its purpose, but the Farberware one is great.
No trouble at all to boil a pound and a half of spaghetti.

Fabulous Pan, April 28, 2011

I have had two non stick pans in the past and get so tired of them peeling, then I won't use them. This pot is large, you could cook several packages of spaghetti or noodles at the same time with no danger of boil over. I am very happy with this pan and would recommend it to anyone. The locking lid works great.

I received this as a gift a few years ago and it continues to be used regularly in my kitchen. I use it for chili and cook my ground beef, drain it with the lid, then finish adding my chili ingredients. Obviously it is great for pasta, and I use it for large batches of homemade soup too. I have scorched things in the bottom (as I often try to do way too many things at once) and it always cleans up easily. It is a heavy pan and very good quality for the price. My mom was so impressed with it I bought her one as a gift too.
