I have, and like, Farberware. I got my first pots and pans in a set over 40 years ago, and am still using them. I managed to burn up one kettle and missed it enough to go shopping for a replacement, thus I have one of the newer style pot and lid. The styles have changed a bit over the years and there's several styles to choose from, but the basic construction is the same. While I like a nonstick skillet for some things, my main pots are stainless steel. The Farberware has an alumimum (or copper) core for quick heating, and the stainless body for easy cleaning. There's probably more than one brand of stainless pots with a core of a quick heat metal. Check them out. I suggest this basic multipurpose type of pot rather than the all aluminum ones (too heavy). Revere Ware is pretty but takes more cleaning to keep the copper bottom clean. I think it has the same basic construction of Farberware, but has the copper bottom exposed. The basic sets with 3 pots and 2 pans, plus lids, is not too many pieces of cookware to have. You may want to add a larger pot also. Explore a kitchen store, or a large department store that carries a range of brands. You should find something that suits your requirements.
