FarberwareDishwasher Safe Nonstick Jumbo Cooker/Saute Pan with Helper Handle -Aluminum, 6 Quart, Blue

I really love, love, love this large cooking pan. I had a good one I brought my mom back in the early 2000s when Macy's Herald Square store here in NY had a cookware/kitchen department which I just started using brand new about 4 years ago but I recently burnt it so I needed a new one. I've brought lots of nice durable cookware sets over the years from Macy's "The Cellar" for her as she not only loved to cook my mom also loved nice new looking cookware sets. She would have loved this pan, it's durable and the light blue color is beautiful and looks nice on my range stove. My boyfriend, the real chef in our home likes it too.

This is exactly what I was looking for in an oversized, deep skillet and lid. It’s non-stick, so very easy to clean. The heat is dispersed almost all the way out to the edges of the pan, even though it’s much larger than the eye. I chose the aqua color, and it’s pretty enough to leave out on the range even when not in use. The lid fits well and is easy to manage. My favorite element is the helper handle. I will never take those for granted again. This is my second replacement for a long used skillet. The first one didn’t have a helper handle. It really is necessary for me, especially in a pan this big. One of the ways I use an extra large, deep skillet is as a “one pot” cooker for pasta dishes. I can boil pasta, pour it into a strainer, make the sauce, then put the pasta back in. Trying to pour the pasta into a colander without a helper handle ended up with water everywhere and pasta wasted into the sink. This skillet fits all of my needs.

Nice pan and use it often. Matches my pot set.

Nice and deep. Functional and I like handle on side. Worth buying.

big pan works good for cooking up a couple pounds of meat. little hard to clean because of the size but nothing sticks and wipes clean. very good price too!

A year plus later, and almost daily use, this is one of my smarter purchases. It's been on top of the stove, in the oven, and in the dishwasher; it still looks like new.

Larger than I thought, but light weight so that is a plus. Love the helper’s handle.

Always been a fan of Farberware, and this is the first time I've had their product in color. I chose Aqua to go with everything in my kitchen, and perhaps understandably, but unexpectedly, the beautiful Aqua finish turned dark olive green after using the pans. Great product, (and I use them extensively) and have had none of the negative experiences' others seem to have. I would only say that you should use only wood or silicone utensils (my preference) to preserve and protect the cooking surface. Although it states dishwasher safe, I am not a fan of the dishwasher, so can't make any observations there. Nonmetal scrub pads work well.
