Hi C.,
I love our Farberware pans, and LOVE the fact that I can scrub them clean with an SOS pad. I just checked Epinions for you and a lot of people say "nonstick" Calphalon is terrible for cleanup because of the little bumps in the bottom. I never had that problem with Farberware (no bumps). I checked Farberware on Epinions and out of 82 reviews, (5 stars possible) there were only two people who gave Farberware 1 star. Those two people said they are hard to clean and everything sticks. I suggest using PAM and SOS pads. Out of those same 82 people only 3 people gave Farberware 2 stars. Six people gave them a better 3 star rating. 10 People gave them a near perfect 4 star rating. That means that 61 out of 82 people thought Farberware was the perfect set of pans you could buy. That's 74% of all users writing a review. Not bad. Comparing Revereware Copper Bottom Pans the same way, only 61% of reviewers thought they were the perfect set of pans. The biggest complaint? Revereware's copper bottoms get dingy looking and are hard to keep looking like new. They also say you can't cook scrambled eggs without them sticking.
I hope this helps you. We cook our eggs in a large All-Clad Stainless Steel Skillet, so I am thinking that Farberware's skillet must have disappointed us at sometime too. All-Clad's REALLY heavy and REALLY expensive, but this one skillet will last us our lifetime.
