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

The Rachael Ray 12 Piece Hard Anodized Cookware Set is a set of pans and pots that are remarkable in their construction, appearance and quality. Designed to provide the ideal tool for virtually any cooking situation, this set stands above the rest and is worth every penny. This particular set I reviewed came in a carbon gray design with bright orange handles, and my initial impression was one of great surprise at how sturdy and well crafted each of the pieces included were. Some of the best features are the ease of food release- its custom designed interior surface ensures nothing sticks, so when I cooked various dishes with it, the food slid right off instead of sticking and burning to the pot. The pieces also cleaned like a breeze, fitting into the dishwasher with ease and cleaning in the sink in under a minute no matter what I was cooking in them. Another great feature is the see through lids with unbreakable glass- you don't have to lift the lid to check on the status of your dish, preventing that annoying heat loss. While I was cooking dinner once, I accidentally dropped the lid of one of the pots and didn't even get a crack in the lid- these pieces are truly built with sustainability in mind. You can use the pots in the oven up to 350 degrees, making the array of dishes cookable with this set even larger. Expansion and customizability is also a great feature of this set. Rachael Ray sells a large assortment of individual pieces outside of what is included in this vast set, so if there is a particular piece you need for your cooking, getting it in the matching design and quality is no issue. This is something that most people won't ever have to worry about though honestly- the set contains fry pans, saute pans, stock pots, in various sizes and depths. It has a nice, deep chicken fryer as well- deep enough where it won't make a mess but large enough to get the job done. Overall, I would rate this set with 5 stars out of 5. This is a must buy set for any serious cook, mom, or enthusiast in general.

I received this cookware to do a review. I have been wanting a really nice set of cookware for a long time. Rachel Ray products are the best. I like the color of the cookware, which is gray with pumpkin colored handles. The cookware has just enough pop of color on it. The cookware set has three frying pans, three pots, four lids and also a slotted turner and slotted spoon. The frying pans are a nice size and cook the food even when cooking. They are very easy to clean and i do like the appearance of the cookware. The pots are a nice size too and are maded very well too. The pans are light and sturdy too. The bottom of the pans dont burn when you are cooking. The pans clean very easy. The handle on the cookware is sturdy and firm. The lids are a nice heavy glass. They are made with very solid glass, shatter proof, and the glass has a little weight. The cookware is 400 degrees safe in the oven. I have not tried this yet, but directions say you can put in oven for thirty minutes. The cookware works great on any oven type. The cookware will make any kitchen look nice and modern. I love everything about the cookware and would buy this in the future and i highly recommend this cookware to everyone for everyday use.
