Overview
Not a plain saucepan, this Farberware Classic Series set pairs a covered stainless pan with a double boiler insert for gentle heating. A full cap base wraps a thick aluminum core in stainless steel, and the self-basting lid helps hold in heat and moisture.
One set replaces a dedicated double boiler and adds a working saucepan, which suits a kitchen that needs gentle heat only now and then. With the insert left out, the same pan simmers rice or heats soup. The limit is size, and the listing gives no insert capacity.
Who it's for
Home kitchens that make sauces, melted chocolate or custard occasionally and want one pan to cover the saucepan job the rest of the time. Large households cooking big batches should choose a larger pot.
Pros and cons
- Saucepan and double boiler in one set
- Induction compatible stainless steel
- Thick aluminum core for even heat
- Phenolic handles that stay cool
- Small capacity for large batches
- Oven limited to moderate heat
- Insert capacity not listed
Performance notes
The full cap base wraps a thick aluminum core in stainless steel, which spreads stovetop heat evenly across the bottom. In double boiler mode, simmering water in the lower pan heats the insert gently, which suits chocolate and custard that scorch over direct heat. Without the insert, the saucepan and lid handle rice or soup.
