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

These pans are a rich pumpkin color and of display quality. I love the fact that they are really deep, nonstick and made of sturdy construction. The silicone handles make holding the pans easy and cool to the touch. The lids are made of tempered glass to avoid shattering if dropped. They cook evenly and are easy to clean. I used warm soapy water and they cleaned with ease. I did find that I had to use some oil on a paper towel to keep the food from sticking, but no cooking spray. The pans are transferable into an oven up to 400 degrees. The company does suggest not to put them in the dishwasher, due to harsh detergents and extreme hot water. The manufacturer also suggests to avoid using extreme heat while cooking. They can only be used on electric, gas or glass ranges, not for use on induction stoves. These pans are great for everyday use and for a large family.

This set of cookware by Rachael Ray is a BIG hit. Generally non-stick is not my favorite w/ the exception it's really a breeze to clean. Remember as well to only use utensils appropriate to non-stick cookware. The interior cleans extremely well (even after cooking borscht)-no...zero staining. Impressive. Exterior comes clean quite well. Even the handle & pan lid grips (silicone-?) came out showroom new. Whether omelettes or pan-heating corn tortillas it was quick, effective and easy cleaning. Here's the best feature (in my book), universal pan lids. Basically unheard of. Even for the larger skillet the lids from the larger pots/dutch oven fit.. not tight, but I could steam veggies along the way while cooking other things. Brilliant team that created this. Color choices were amazing. I wanted this option, as I am quite certain alot of you as well want that kind of choice. Coordinate and appreciate...guests were amazed. For years I've had products by RR, her lines are vast and growing. Consider too that numerous makes/makers are on the same level and yet Ray's cookware, bakeware & dinnerware are generally a fraction of the cost. in addition, the manual and instructions enclosed are straight-on, clear and concise about usage & upkeep. Avid cook is tremendously pleased. Enjoy.
