Question 1

Is this made in China?

Accepted Answer

I would like to know that answer too .I have searched extensively online and Amazon .I found out so far I can't afford USA cookware. The prices are $199 up to $600 . I only know I will NOT buy anything from China .....that is very difficult !

Question 2

What is the chromium/nickel ratio of this stainless steel?

Accepted Answer

Suzie Q made a great point about it not being induction stove top compatible. This is not due to the stainless it's because this line of Faberware Stainless has what is called an aluminum clad bottom. Aluminum is not conductive with induction cooking. I've owned this line of Faberware by the way for over 40 years and it is still my favorite daily go to pans. Only negative is they quit making the 5 quart saucepan with likd like this. They make a 5quat deep fryer with holes in side for draining etc. and basket insert but that no longer works as a popcorn popper and my husband after 35 years of trying to convince to make popcorn in our stainless pans and stop the yearly popcorn popper concept his family would always feed him via bd and xmas gifts as it was his yet again request because most burned up within a years almost daily use. He finally took me up on my way and quickly became a FAN and stole my one and only 5Quart Faberware Classic pan...so I bought the deep fryer and it is never used. I found one used on Ebay and bought it but took 2 years of searching and entering it to be notified if one shows up. So now we have two and are no longer in almost daily battle as to who's pan is it. Females tend to FIX problems and compromise both the guys from Mar's just like to haggle:))) After 48 Years my job is to outsmart the guys from Mars and make it a WIN WIN for both sides. Love these pans and yes we do take good care of them. And use gas ranges. But they do not work with induction burners due to the aluminum clad bottoms which help distribute heat and avoid hot/cold spots.

Question 3

Is it made in the USA?

Accepted Answer

Mine says made in Thailand. They also make them in China. As far as I understand, when Meyer Corporation bought Farberware in 1997 they stopped manufacturing in the USA. What a shame.

Question 4

does it have a double sided pour lip?

Accepted Answer

The photo shows a pan with pour spout on one side only, with steam/pour holes on either side of the lid.  My older 1 qt pans have spouts on two sides, which I like.  So I'm not sure if this most recent version is one-sided pour spout or two.  The responses here are confusing, since some say yes and some say no.
