You get a pan! And you get a pan! And you get a pan!
Promising review: "You will never regret buying Farberware cookware. I have used the Classic Series cookware since the 70s. When my children needed pots and pans I gave them my older set and purchased a new set for me! These pieces are so easy to keep clean. Just polish with BonAmi or a stainless steel powder and they will always look new. The lid design is wonderful for keeping steam inside the pot. I use the 8 quart size for soups, steaming vegetables, boiling pasta, making candy, cooking jams, etc. The aluminum bottoms are stainless steel clad and provide very even cooking. Things don't burn easily because of the thick bottom. You will not be disappointed!" —CampSunsetGirl

Promising review: "These mitts are fantastic! Taking super hot things like casseroles out of the oven is a breeze now. These are long enough, almost coming up to my elbow, and insulated enough, where I don't feel I'm going to get burned no matter how I pick up a dish out of the oven. I really should order two more pairs so I can throw all of my old oven mitts out once and for all!" —eebant

Promising review: "I LOVE these towels. My partner and I found out just after moving into our recently-purchased condo that our dishwasher leaks, and not having had time to repair it yet, we have been washing a lot of dishes by hand. These towels dry up better than any others I have used! The texture is absorbent but not rough. They did not lint in the wash, and they look great hanging in our kitchen. The sets are nice, too. We use one towel for dishes and another for hands, so having two patterns in coordinating colors was a bonus. We bought two sets!" —Rian Winters

Promising review: "This knife was selected as the best bread knife on America Test Kitchen, and they were not wrong. Don’t let the low price fool you. This knife is razor sharp. I bake all of our bread products so I slice a lot of bread. I made hamburger buns which are very soft and usually challenging to slice when first baked. This knife sliced through them in one swipe and didn’t even make one crumb. The handle is very comfortable and fits my medium-sized hand very well. Also, the handle is just a bit offset to keep your knuckles from hitting the cutting board. Yes, I am a knife snob, and this is a great one!" —Kindle Customer

The can opener also has a bottle opener, because why not!
Promising review: "The OXO can opener is a workhorse. It is strong, well-made, and plows through whatever you give it with ease. I've had this one before and after years, it finally gave out and was hard to turn. But in buying an alternative from another company, I quickly realized the mistake and went right back to OXO to buy another. This one is so sturdy that it will last for a very long time and I'm really glad I bought it again." —A.M. Miller

Promising review: "Simple but sturdy — a good spoon depth and handle length for a stirring spoon. Like all unfinished wood spoons, these initially will be colored slightly by what you cook, but that is a plus in my book because that gives them a nice 'season' very quickly. If you are looking for ladles or cooking spoons with a fancy finish then this is not the product for you, but if you are looking for spoons that are highly functional and a good value then this product should fit the bill." —MAbuyer48444
Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.05.
The sets come with two large and two small spatulas. The "Basic" set can withstand up to 480 degrees and the "Premium" set up to 600. They're BPA-free and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "My wife and I use these every day. Had them for seven months now and they are holding up better than any before them — no nicks on any of them, and we use them for lots of things hot and cold. I don't think a thing about sticking them in a hot skillet. I never use a knife for any kind of spreads anymore, I always grab a small spatula — it's faster and easier. And best of all, they have no taste of their own (yes, I often lick the spatula before I drop it in the sink if it has been in something good). The handle is nice and stiff as it has a hard rod in it. I just ordered another set of four to put away till these expire. Best food spatula I have ever used." —Thruppence
Get it from Amazon for $15.68 (available in three colors and two heat-resistance levels).
The pans are dishwasher-safe, but hand washing is recommended.
Promising review: "These are the best non-stick pans I've ever used. Heavy pans with high sides so you can flip veggies while sautéing. Easy to clean. For years I've been buying throw away non stick skillets and replacing them yearly. Won't have to do that anymore." —calicoterri
Get a large and small pan from Amazon for $47.99+ (available in two size pairs).
These are BPA-free and dishwasher-safe.
Promising review: "This is the ultimate silicone spatula. It has a sturdy handle combined with a lot of flexibility. Just be careful with the handle as it can melt if it comes in contact with the edge of a hot pan. This is my favorite spatula ever — I wish it also came in a smaller size for small frying pans." —Diana

The colander is dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "I love this thing! We had a cheapo plastic one that was cracked and just a total piece of crud, so I decided that I wanted to actually put a little money into a new one. We have a large family which means dinner portions are usually pretty large, so we needed something that could withstand that, this fits the bill. I can now drain the three pounds of ground turkey without having to worry about it overflowing my colander. That's actually pretty exciting for me because when your on budget it gets really irritating when your food disappears down the drain because your colander is to tiny to hold it all in. The handles feel like they will really hold up and they're kind of rubbery, which is also a perk! This is a really good-quality colander." —Mommyof4

The cups and spoons are dishwasher safe.
Promising review: "I had bought this for my brother-in-law and fell in love. The cups and spoons are durable. The measurements are engraved in the metal so they won't rub off. Right now they are in my dishwasher. I know this makes me a kitchen nerd, but they are cute too. Each spoon and cups have colored silicone on the handle for grip or in case you are measuring something hot. To sum it all up, BUY these; you won't be disappointed." —Bina
Get them from Amazon for $21.99.
Promising review: "This is a great value for the product. The ovens I have used have always seemed to be a bit off, so this was very important to have around the house especially for recipes that need a very specific temperature. My wife bakes a lot and before having an oven thermometer, she often times over-baked or under-baked her recipes. This thermostat can hang easily on the oven rack and is easy to read, making it helpful for any dish that needs to be baked at a certain temperature. Highly recommend this product!" —Abe

The stoneware insert and lid of the Crock-Pot are dishwasher safe!
Promising review: "Great design, beautiful color. I like that the interior is ceramic crockery, rather than aluminum or metal like many models. It is also the perfect size for making anything from soup, to an entire (small) roast chicken, family, party or personal size." —amazcustomer

Promising review: "I have always been a bit challenged cooking steaks and burgers on the grill. People have told me multiple 'ways' of telling when a steak was 'medium' and when to pull the burgers off. Still, I ended up with underdone burgers and overcooked steaks. This takes the mystery out of it. Using this the first time, I cooked pork steaks to perfection. The next time it told me I had left the burgers on too long drinking that 'last' beer. I highly recommend this. I have bought another as a gift for a friend." —raylap
Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in three colors).
Promising review: "This saucepan was just the perfect size for my small kitchen. The pan has performed nicely as I've cooked sauces, boiled water, and warmed soup. There has been no sticking and it's an easy clean up as I just wash it in the dishwasher. The pan feel sturdy and feels like it will hold up to many years of use. The lid is also solid and fits perfectly on the pan." —AMG de Wet
