what is the difference between this generation of stainless farberware and the farberware skillet i still have from 1975?

My older pans (1990's) don't work on the Induction stove top, but these do! I was afraid to buy the new ones thinking they would not work also - but they work just fine with the induction.

I have a few Farberware stainless pans from the 1950's and also a few from 2011. I can see no difference in them except that the comparable sizes are slightly different. And also, now some of the skillets are offered with a teflon interior. The newer versions come with a see-through lid which I much enjoy! I can say, my 1950's pans have withstood the test of time! The older ones definitely don't look "old"!

I would say, that it is not as durable, nor does it keep its shine. I do like these, but know that anything today, does not have the quality of materials that it did way back then. Hope this helps.

That may have been the brand we almost bought. It was several grand and we backed out and bought this. I have had this set for several years and it works great and its very heavy duty. The only piece we did buy (used) was the skillet with the oil between the layers..its awesome. I use bartenders friend to keep them shiny

on the bottom of mine it says "Farberware" stainless steel. I actually have 2 of these and they both say the same thing. I got one on Amazon and the other at BedBath&Beyond. same price and I love them. Hope this helps

The ad says limited lifetime warranty. I am not sure what that is. A call to Farberware may be in order and their response may depend on how long you have had it, etc. Mine has some small evidence of Teflon loss on the edges due to the lid I use (My bad not theirs). I use my pan on my induction cook top and I take extra care on the interior though, absolutely no metal tools (I now have complete silicone utensils) and I hand wash the pan. This is one of the best pans I have ever had.

Dear C.Smith,The only difference will be the spatula. Otherwise the cooking ability is the same.Thank you for allowing us to be of service to you.Sincerely,Tonia D.

For the Farberware Millennium Stainless Steel Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set, everything is coated inside... pots & skillets.

Well, I bought one a couple years ago, and it seems as solid as any of the old ones I've seen in Taiwan (lived there for several years, and every household has at least one). The only difference is that the old ones have a steel inside (not the inner bowl, but the inside of the main cooker), where I think the current ones are aluminum/alloy - could be wrong about that though, or it might only be on some models. In any case, yes, the new ones are still of excellent quality, still seem to have solid switches and good cords, and I expect mine to last a long time.

Hello, they're basically the same item. They both have the " full release " system a d are both hard anodized. The ones I have are brown and do far holding up pretty good. I got a few scratches here and there nothing major tho to effect the non stick. Please, ask any other questions you want. Take care, Paul

I am not sure. But what I can tell you is that it fits the round Revere skillet that was produced in the mid to late 1960s. I received the skillet for a wedding gift. The controls finally burned out in the 80s and I had all but given up trying to find another control unit. My skillet does not have a model number on it anywhere and the product paperwork is long gone. Hope this helps.

Checked into this myself and was satisfied with what I found that they are one and the same. Gave a skillet to my son and he loves it so bought more for him for this Christmas. If you're still not sure just research the company. Hope this helped.

I purchased a new one-quart Revere Ware copper bottom clad saucepan last year and still have my original one as well. The difference between the two is night and day; The older one is heavier and has a wider ring of copper on the bottom.The whole pan is lighter than the old one and feels less sturdy. I would not want to leave anything in it on warm/lo for very long without being there to watch over it. I did not buy a new lid to go with the new saucepan; the old lid dos fit it.

I can't answer this question. I had two of these skillets and loved everything about them except the fact that the non-stick surface doesn't last at all. I took really good care of both of them and both surfaces failed. Now I'm using a Presto. Have only had it for a month so far so good. It is like the Hamilton Beach except that the lid does not clip on and it is cheaper. Also the skillet detaches from the base making it take less storage room.

Ours is exactly the same and works wonderfully. In fact, we use this pan almost exclusively now. It isn't stainless steel, so don't expect it to look like a stainless pan would after use.

No, it is not. It was so rough it tore up the paper towel I was using to coat it after cleaning. I recently bought a Lodge skillet, and it was a bit smoother. The person who commented about the vintage is correct. The older products were made more carefully and are much smoother. The Lodge piece works very well. But despite claims that I don't have to do anything to it, I still rub a little olive oil into it after cleaning, and use a little when cooking.

Farberware Classic: 10 inch skillet has an 8 inch bottom; 10 inch Fry Pan which is deeper on the sides has a 9 inch bottom and the 12 inch Fry Pan is 10 inches on the bottom. Hope this helps!

I also have a set of Farberware that is 40 years old and I still love it which is why I purchased these pans. I despise the "coated" cookware which is another reason why I purchased these pans. However, I guess the "sticking" question would have to be answered by "it's according to what you're cooking". For instance, I use PAM in my pans before frying an egg; and I saute veggies with olive oil so I've never had an issue with food sticking. I really like the ease in cleaning these pans. I would recommend Farberware stainless cookware to anyone.
