Rachael Ray 12-Piece Cucina Nonstick Pots and Pans Set, Cookware, Blue

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!

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.
