A dependable mid-size stockpot for soups, pasta and braises that moves from stove to oven and into the dishwasher. The oven rating is modest, so high heat roasting is off the table.

Overview
Farberware builds this Classic Series stockpot from polished stainless steel with an aluminum core sealed into the base, so heat spreads across the bottom before it climbs the walls. A domed self-basting lid returns moisture to the food, and the base works on any stovetop, induction included.
An aluminum core clad on all sides by stainless steel gives even heat on any stovetop, and the whole pot cleans up in the dishwasher. The size suits family soups and pasta, though big batch stock or canning needs a larger pot, and the oven rating stops short of high heat roasting.
Who it's for
Weeknight cooks who want one pot for soup, pasta and stovetop braises will use it constantly. Batch cooks and home canners need more volume than this size offers.
Pros and cons
- Works on induction and every other stovetop
- Aluminum core spreads heat across the base
- Dishwasher safe, pot and lid
- Rolled rims pour without dripping
- Oven limit rules out high heat roasting
- Too small for big batch stock or canning
- Pot weight not listed
Performance notes
Even cooking comes from the aluminum core in the base, which spreads burner heat sideways before it reaches the steel walls. Because the core is fully clad, the bottom works on induction and resists discoloring. The domed lid returns condensation to the food, which matters most during long simmers and braises.

Frequently asked questions
Will the Farberware Classic stockpot base discolor over time?
The aluminum core is completely clad in stainless steel, so the bottom resists corrosion and discoloring and cleans up easily, including in the dishwasher.
Do the Farberware Classic stockpot handles get hot?
The description says the handles stay cool on the stovetop. Use oven mitts when taking the pot out of the oven.
Is the Farberware Classic stockpot nonstick?
No. The interior is polished stainless steel with no nonstick coating listed, so a little oil or liquid helps prevent sticking.
Can you pour from the Farberware 6 quart stockpot without spilling?
Thick rolled rims let you pour from the pot without dripping, according to the description.
