Farberware PURECOOK Ceramic Nonstick Jumbo Cooker and Saute Pan with Helper Handle - 5 Quart Blue - Perfect for Frying, Searing, and Sauteing Family Meals

I really like this pan. I buy this brand alot. I didn't like the fact that the lid came completely shattered, luckily I had a lid from an old pan that fit it.I really, really wanted to love this pan because of the colors and ceramic. My first one was purple. I destroyed it. The pan does burn after a while. The second one I returned because within a week or two the handle was coming loose, and there's something weird with the screw where I couldn't even screw it back in. All in all, if they made a few minor improvements, this would be great. As is, only buy this if you want something cheap and disposable. It won't last.I like this pan and use it frequently. It’s light and fairly easy to clean. It isn’t the sturdiest of cookware that I own. The handle especially feels a tad rickety and cheap and the lid doesn’t sit totally flush. I love the color though and it looks nice on the stove.These items (we purchased two) were damaged upon arrival. The design of the lid for the pan caused it to scrape the non-stick finish before we could even use it. Therefore, the pan was not safe to use. This lid needs to be designed so it does not scrape the interior of the pan. Both pans had the same flaw. We returned both pans.The ceramic coating is lacking. It scratches and exposes the aluminium bottom, which will eventually rust. So there is that. Not sure if they used inferior coating or just not thick enough. I like the size of the pan for making massive meals, and I am clumsy and end up will lots of spills so like a high side wall for containment so this worked for that (less stove top cleaning).Sorry, this item was a gift, so I am unable to give you my personal opinion on it.Beautiful pan, I have been waiting for a deep pan like this! However after unboxing it, I noticed the lid didn’t fit. The pan is slightly irregular and the lid won’t sit right. The handle is also loose. I am not sure if this is a defective product or a shipping issue.The pan has only been used a few times so it is a bit early to give a review. So far, everything cooks great in the pan and the pan is easy to clean. Even burnt-on things, ran out of the water I was cooking sausage in, came clean easily.It found its way tk the garbage today, food will burn and stick to it. Very hard to clean.The pan itself is nice, but the handle fit is not great. Doesn't sit tight to the pan and has some play.Good pan doesn't stickI recieved my order , as advertised.I am pleased and we are getting good use of the items I ordered. Thank you for asking for a rating.I give you 5 star , gladly.Wesley Schmidt. Alberta Canada
