Farberware Brilliance Stainless Steel Stockpot

The Farberware Brilliance Stainless Steel Stockpot is a reliable piece of cookware designed to excel in everyday cooking. It efficiently heats up meals on all cooktops and even handles the dishwasher with indifferent ease. Community chatter, however, hasn't been shy about its shortcomings—especially its tiny handles. As one disgruntled commenter put it, "That pot’s handles look to be problematic, even using mitts, gloves or towels." While its stainless steel construction and even heat distribution win some points, the outdated design and ergonomic misfires keep the critics busy. In the grand scheme of kitchenware, this stockpot is recommended if your priority is durability and versatile cooking performance, though its handle design may give pause for those who value comfort and modern ergonomics.
