Farberware
Farberware is an American brand of cookware and small kitchen appliances founded in 1900 by 21-year-old Russian immigrant Simon Farber on New York City's Lower East Side, initially producing handcrafted tin and copper items.[1][2] The brand gained prominence with innovations such as its first aluminum percolator featuring a patented replaceable fuse in 1930, aluminum-clad stainless-steel cookware in 1949, and the pioneering countertop convection oven in 1973.[1][2] During World War II, Farberware manufactured secret products for the U.S. government, receiving four Army-Navy "E" awards for excellence in production.[2] Acquired by Meyer Corporation in 1996, it expanded into licensed products like cutlery and bakeware while maintaining its core focus on durable, multi-generational stainless steel cookware sets renowned for even heating and longevity.[1][2] Today, Farberware generates hundreds of millions in annual revenue as a leading provider in the category, emphasizing practical design and value for home cooks.[2]
