Customer Reviews

Deep frying made easy!
If I can do it----you can't miss! Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Got it? Now follow the directions and let your imagination go. Oil temp is easy to maintain. Farberware been around for past 35 years, at least. Cause that's when I bought my first set. Did'nt Elvis like deep fried bananas? Maybe dip them in egg nog first and then deep fry?

"Chip Pan"
This is quite simply, an old British kitchen standby know universally as a "Chip Pan", variations of which could be seen in most domestic kitchens of all strata of society in post-WW2 UK -I don't know about currently.
They were the local fire-brigades' (and insurance company's) nightmare and the demise of several kitchens I know of personally.
This product works well as such and I was very glad to find it's like available finally in the USA (I carried a copper-bottomed one from an aunt all over the world for years until it finally became unusable).
I use it for chips (French fries) only, with peanut oil the medium of choice.
Be very aware that THE USER is ultimately responsible for the safe use of this product, as it is totally manual and does not claim to be anything else, requiring constant surveillance. NEVER LEAVE IT UNATTENDED WHEN IN USE!
If you follow the blanch-and-brown method as espoused by all responsible and experienced cooks from Ramsey, Keller and Bourdain on down, it will turn out excellent pommes-frites, chips, fritters and anything else you choose to commit to the deep fat method.
I personally prefer it to the commercial electrical set-temperature types of fryers (I have one of these also) for F-Fries especially, as I can regulate the heat to my immediate needs.
But it's not for the microwave "heat and leave" mentality.
Good product for it's intended use.

Farberware Dual Function Saucepot
The contstruction of the pot is the high quality one would expect from Farberware. Having never seen the pot in person, I did not pick up from the picture that there is a cutout on the lid to allow for the handle of the fry basket; it just looked like a shadow. I had no interest in the fryer basket but just wanted a pot of that size. Even though I have many other Farberware pots and pans, there is no other lid in my collection that fits this pot, hence, it is just about useless to me.
