I've always like Rachael Ray; unfortunately I got the wrong color set. The pan and spatula were actually quite small. I can see were some improvements from her older designs are and I like the multi use lid but it is a bit flimsy.I’ve been using T-fal for years because I thought it was the best budget brand for non stick. To be fair, I think they used to be but quality has dipped over the years. My last T-fal set lasted ridiculously little time before the black non stick coating began peeling off. I’ve never tried pans from Rachel ray before but I will definitely switch to this brand for future cooking pans.These pans are very well made, they are thick and have a very nice inside coating. I haven’t had any issues with food sticking or any difficulties cleaning them afterwards. I also like how these are very easy to clean by just wiping them with a paper towel if I need to cook more than one thing on them for the same meal. I was also really impressed that the paint on the bottom of the pans have stayed in perfect condition offer several uses so far, this is something that I hated on my T-fal sets because the paint on the bottom always turned black after the first use, it’s nice to be able to choose a nice color of pans that will actually look the same after using.I was a bit curious about the rubber lids because I haven’t used something like it before but they are actually really nice. The smaller lid has different grooves on it that lets the single lid fit on multiple pans, having one multi purpose lid does save lots of space. The the larger lid has half glass and half rubber and is for a single size. Also included is a neat spatula, the shape is a bit weird but it’s all I’ve been using and I haven’t had the need to grab something else so far.The only thing to keep in mind when switching pans is that some pans heat up more than others, this is not a bad thing and you do get used to it very quickly. This set looks to need less heat than my old T-fal so I cook at a lower level that feels as it were on max. Overall these pans have been working perfectly so far, im most definitely switching to Rachel ray for cookware from now on.This is a beautiful cooking set. Absolutely no complaints and I will most likely be purchasing as gifts for family in the future!This is such a beautiful set. It's looks even better in person. The stock photos don't do it justice. One thing to keep in mind when considering this set is it is listed as hand wash only. So to keep the cookware looking amazing, you won't want to put it in the dishwasher at all.The non-stick works well and everything cooks in these nicely. They wash up easily too, which helps since they can't go into the dishwasher. The lid is interesting in that it's designed to fit several size pieces. So your kitchen drawers aren't overflowing with lids that keep you from being able to store more pans.I have this set in the Agave Blue and it reminds me of a set I had many years ago from Paula Dean that was called a Robins Egg Blue, only that set also had white speckles. This Agave Blue set is a hint softer and deeper than the robins egg shade.I've been cooking with this set for several weeks now and been very happy with it so far.I knew when I ordered these they were going to be great quality because I always hear amazing things about all of Rachel Ray's products. These pots and pans are very durable and will probably last a lifetime. I got the red color, which is vivid and beautiful. Heat distribution is even and thorough, making it easier to cook amazing dishes. I LOVE that it comes with 2 lids that will fit all of the cookware, which takes up less space and I don't have to worry about clutter. I also like the little red spatula that's included and I use it every morning when I make my eggs. And afterwards, clean up is super easy.This set would make a wonderful gift for newlyweds or someone moving into a new place!This pan set is high quality, and so far, has held up after several uses. I haven't used all of the pieces, but I use the saucepan and frying pans, on a regular basis. The color is really pretty. It is more of a teal green as opposed to a blue. This is a substantial set that comes with anything that I need. It is easy to wash. I wash mine by hand, so I can't speak for how they hold up in the dishwasher. So far, I love it!Our non-stick cookware set was falling apart, so I got this to replace that set. I have one stainless steel set and one nonstick set. Each type serves a different purpose. While nonstick is much easier to wash, it doesn’t last as long as stainless. So I have some of each to suit my needs.So far these pots and pans are working wonderfully. They cook well and wash beautifully!The two lids fit all pots and pans in this set. Which is great in that it saves you a lot of closet space. Otoh, if you’re using 3-4 pots at once, you won’t have a lid for each. So far it hasn’t happened yet, but if it does, I’ll just use a piece of aluminum foil. And if it happens often, I might just get a universal lid.What I especially love about this set is that they can go in the oven, and at the same time feature comfortable handles. The ones I had until now either had plastic handles that couldn’t go in the oven, or had stainless steel handles that got terribly hot while cooking. So this combination is awesome.Do follow the rules for this set. It’s not just for this set, but basic rules for all nonstick cookware. Use soft utensils, wash with gentle soap and a soft sponge… this helps to prolong the nonstick coating.Overall, this set is serving us well!These pans are a good color, they are easy to clean, they are non stick, and the multi sized lid is very handy as it saves space too. I am picky about my pans and I have no complaints here. Would recommend for any cook on somewhat of a budget.
