I have many older farberware pieces that I love and use all the time. For over 30 years, made in the USA.
Farberward made in china on the other hand is a bad joke. All right I'll admit it I once had simmering water in bottom part dry out making Chicken a la king. But this has happened to me with other double boilers, never any problem that a little elbow grease couldn't fix. Good as new, always not this unfortunate pile of scrap. Stainless part flaked off inside the bottom half?? The top is fine, but this kind of defeats the purpose of a double boiler.
Went to an industrial stainless steel, yes it went dry, but a little bartender's friend and a minute amount of elbow grease and voila. Still buy old Farberward pieces at every opportunity and old Revere Wear. But their new chinese offerings are a joke.
