The cookware I have now lasted 55 years but I would likenew an wonder if the new is as heavy and well made as the old ones?

No it is not as well made as the old ones in my opinion , the copper bottom is not as good quality , not as well made
1785808
no it is not. that kind of mental isn't produced in china or anywhere else anymore. keep your old pot and don't get any new ones until its burnt out

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 replaced my old one a few years ago. It appears that they are the same = heavy and well made.

No, the new stuff is like a knock off. Much lighter and the quality is not there at all.

It is not as heavy and takes more time to clean, and the food sticks more often, but the quality is still way better than most pots and pans.

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 don't know the weight. But the new pan was slightly lighter than the old. That is where I think quality is poor.

The cookware has a matt finish. Is it a heavy well that is relavent to what. It's lighter than lets say a cast iron pan. But heavy enough. They are well made and look good. So go for it. Happy cooking

Yes, it states ROME COOKWARE SINCE 1964 AND it works quite well once you learn to handle it. Joyce Hatfield

It is certainly not as heavy as the cast iron skillets from decades ago that my grandmother cooked with, but it's still a substantial skillet that I love to use. I also like to serve from it because the design is unique. I recently had a brunch and just served the eggs from the skillet and got comments from friends who thought it looked great.

Yes, I've had them for 6 years and they are still just as good as new. They are excellent to cook with and if something gets stuck on they are easy to clean if you just soak them for a little bit.

We loved our original set so much we added to it this year.It wears well and just looks better with time. Our newer set is not quite as heavy(18/10 weight as the original (18/8 but is close- Reed & Barton no longer carries the heavier weight. Definitely worth the cost- jut be sure to check the description. we sent one set back as it a newer version with a small change to the pattern. grooves appear to be stamped and didn't have the depth or go all the way around utensil.

I needed a new set of pans for the very same reason you stated. I chose Farberware because I got a few pans 59 years ago that have withstood the test of time. They weren't warped a bit. I chose a set of new Farberware!

We have had the multiclad pans for over a year and yes, they are the heavier well made pans.

It is fairly heavy. It is as good as most steel cookware, maybe heavier. Used it on a gas stove.

My new knob came from Le Creuset. It is larger and stronger than the original and I like it. I have baked bread in it at 425 degrees with no problem, but only a few times.

They have a durable heft that is not cumbersome even to one with Arthritis like myself. I gave my daughter a set that I had before that was way too heavy for me to use and wash. She loves those and I LOVE these. This is the most beautiful set of cookware I have had the pleasure of using.

I'm no expert on Fiestaware, but the new ones seem bigger and heavier than the Fiestaware I've seen in antique shops. I own several of these and their marks match the authentic marks I've found online. Although I think they differ depending on the decade they were made.

Actually it was not--but nothing is made here. I had one like it that was over 40 years old and I ruined the pan and that is why I purchased this one. I was surprised how much lighter it was. It cooks well and I am very satisfied with it. If you want it made in the USA check at Tag sales or yard sales and sometimes at Goodwill.

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.
