Cuisinart or Farberware

[annaromero]

Hey Ladies

I am updating my registry and can't decide which set of Cookware to register for.

These are the two that I am looking at:

A (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&BRN=1&sku=13341648)

and

B (http://www.bedbathandbeyond.com/product.asp?order_num=-1&BRN=1&sku=13151911)

Any ladies know which brand is better and lasts longer?

I have definitely heard of both of those...but don't know too much about those particular brands.

I am actually going to register for Calphalon. I know you can't go wrong with Calphalon...I think BB&B carries Cal, too. Just a thought. I know lots of chefs love Calphalon....and I've cooked with it before, and it's great!

I agree, I would love to register for calphalon but Im afraid the price may scare some people off. The ones i've seen are very pricey.

Yes, it is more expensive :( I have cookwear to tide me over...so if I don't get it for gifts, then I will just go buy bits and pieces here and there, after the wedding.

The thing is..Rob and I don't have TONS to register for..so I'll throw the pots on there :)

We registered for Calphalon too. Out of the two I think the Cuisinart set looks better. :)

I have heard of both and heard both are good. I would probably go with the Farberware, it is less expensive but you get more (15 pcs vs 10 pcs).

I am a Cuisinart girl, all of my appliances are from them:D

We have Emerilware and love it. Out of the 2 choices I would go with Cuisinart..

Of the two: Cuisinart.

Farberware doesn't last.

I'd go with Calphalon. We didn't get any takers...but we did get enough in GC's to pay for it, plus we were able to apply the 20% off coupon. Plus you have the completion discount to think about. Honestly...there is such a thing as "cheap" pots and pans. While Cuisinart will outlast the Farberware, it's still not in the same quality scale as Calphalon or All Clad.

i would go for the Cuisinart also - i hate Farberware, but i haven't had much luck with Cuisinart either - but of the two it's the better choice

Agreed! :)

Thank you Ladies! Looks like I'll go with Cuisinart until I can afford Calphalon. I may do what brysonspencer is doing and buy a piece here & there.

Thanks again for all your help!
