Rachael Ray Cucina 18 Piece Nonstick Pots and Pans and Prep Bowl Set, Red

This is a six piece cookware collection that comes with four shatter resistant glass lids. I like the earthy design, plus the hard enamel that is so easy to clean makes this a winner. Dual rivets make the cookware feel sturdy but the material is to lightweight. The edges of the pots are not rimmed and smooth as I would like. I did not count the two utensils in my rating because they are basically a bonus and the spatula will not flip a hamburger or much else. It's just to flimsy. Also you cannot put this cookware in the dishwasher because it will void the warranty but just use warm soapy water and it's clean. Just remember never use nonstick cooking spray and this cookware will be great. The covered sauté pan is perfect for jambalaya and spaghetti. I cooked both, then allowed to cool and heated each in the oven at 350 degrees. They cooked evenly with no hot spots. I also cooked an egg in the 8.5 inch skillet and it was a breeze because it was sliding around on the non-stick coating. The lids and handles are stainless steel and silicone but can still get very hot. The bonus is the height on the lid handles, they are high enough for your pot holder or glove to slide in. Very nice. The color was a nice surprise, it's not a bright orange but more muted like baked pumpkin. The nonstick finish is listed as espresso colored and that's a plus. I have owned plenty of cookware in my life and I have always received a manual from the manufacturer but with Rachael Ray Cookware all I got was a leaflet and that was a letdown. One side note; there is a warning that anyone with a ceramic or a glass stovetop should not use enameled cookware.

This set of cookware is by far the best set of cookware I have ever used. I am a stay at home wife and mother of 2. I used this cookware the very first night it arrived. Absolutely NOTHING sticks or burns in this cookware. And, the design of the large pot kept the boiling water from boiling over when cooking pasta. The lids are a perfect fit. The handles on both the cookware and the lids always remain cool throughout the cooking process. I absolutely love the deep skillet with the lid for cooking my pasta sauces and meats. No more sauce splatters on my stove top! And, the utensils are awesome. I was a little skeptical of these at first, especially the spatula. I thought these would just be more utensils to get lost in my drawer due to being flimsy. Boy, was I wrong. These are very durable. And, the spatula, well, it makes my life so much easier flipping pancakes and French toast for my kids. No more messed up pancakes that slide off my spatula anymore. And, the ease of cleaning these. So easy to wash and dry. No scrubbing necessary. And, last, but certainly not least, the color. I was pleasantly surprised. They are more of a brown with a hint of orange rather than the bright orange I was expecting. This cookware is a wonderful addition to my kitchen and will be used for years to come!
