Rachael Ray Brights Hard Anodized Nonstick Saute Pan / Frying Pan / Fry Pan - 5 Quart, Gray

This is my first experience with Rachael Ray cookware. When I first removed the cookware from the set, I first noticed how light weight it was. I then noticed the attractive orange handles they were made and the beautiful clear lids with clear view glass view. It's not high end cookware, but it would be welcome in many or most homes.I used this to cook maggi. It was so perfectly cooked and also i don't see any thing stick to the bottom of the pan. They are made beautifully and perfectly for the use of cooking. I love to cook in Rachael Ray cookware. The food was delicious and tasty whenever i use these product for cooking.I always use to cook dal. Unfortunately, one day I forgot to turn off the stove and i see all mess in my kitchen. I see the dal was totally overcooked and some part of it was sticked to the cookware. That could have resulted in quite a mess with some other types of cookware, but it cleaned up quickly and still looked brand new.What I liked:* The design is very modern and attractive.* The glass lids have a sturdy rim that is designed so food will not be easily trapped* The orange handles are non-slip and easy to grip, and they keep very cool while cooking* The small size pots are very handy, and the 6 quart stock pot is a nice small-size stockpot that I'm finding a much better size for my use.* Cleanup was super easyWhat I didn't like:* The pots seem to be about half the thickness of most of my other pots and pans. While I don't think they would dent easily if dropped, they don't have a sturdy, well made feel to them.* When compared to my Calphalon, they also do not have the same quality hard anodized finish on the outside.* The nonstick coating doesn't feel as high quality as other brands. So far, so good though!* The pans do not have a thick bottom, and seem to heat unevenly. My food scorched quickly, so cooking time and technique will vary from my other cookware.I think this would make a great starter set for someone just starting out on their own. Despite the few flaws that I noticed , I am enjoying using this cookware and cooking just became a little more fun!

This is such a wonderful, large frying pan. Since we bought it, it's the only thing we use. Tonight we made paella and it was so easy.My girlfriend loves it because it's relatively lightweight and easy for her to hold and move around. It's also easy to clean.We're thinking about buying a second one exactly like this because we like it so much.Seems like a tremendous value when it goes on sale.We're also looking into other pots and pans in the same line.Highly recommended!

Made well and cleansing easy

I am not an expert cook but the pan was very useful because when you are making dinner for a couples of people it is more convenient on frying stuff more that a regular frying pan specially when there are more than 2-3 pieces to cook you can cook a bunch at one time it makes it easier and faster to cook the items .

This Rachel Ray cook set is very nice. The reason that i bought it where because it was dishwasher safe. And after purchasing it i found that this statement was only partially true. In the instruction that came with my set it states that the hard anodized II set is only dishwasher safe if it is "fully encapsulated" while it is in the dishwasher. i'm still not completely sure what the manufacturer means by this but I have written to them to find out exactly what they meant. Also like most non stick cookware there is a temperature limit. To maintain the factory limited life time warranty you must keep the cookware under a certain temperature. Unfortunately most common stoves and ranges only allow you to select the temperature with the numbers Low 1-10 Hi. So you are going to need to know at what point on your stove to stop so you don't harm your new cook set. The one bad design about these pans are the fact that the handles are riveted to the pans. Food does like to stick to these rivets every time you use them. The last negative point about these pans is the fact according to the manufacture is you are not suppose to use heavy oils in them. Like vegetable or canola oils. You can use lighter oils like olive oil. But only to flavor the food itself. Not a lot to fry or to use as a non stick spray. And you shouldn't have to use a non stick spray with these pans. Other then these complaints this cook set is very nice for the price. Unlike Teflon, hard anodized should never flake off ever. After several months of almost daily use on a couple of the pans, the pans still look brand new on the inside and work just like they did the first time. The out side bottoms of the pans are a different story. I have an electric range and the pans are painted on the out side. They do tend to retain stains and scratch easily. I have not had any problem with the out side paint flaking off however. I gave this set a 4 out of five stars even with it;s flaws. The reason being I'm really comparing it to all the other non stick cookware out there. Teflon and anodized alike. There are better cook sets to be had but they start about the $500 dollar range. So this one doesn't get a five. But compared to everything this set is still better then 95% of the sets out there. I would defiantly buy this set again.

Exelente precio, muy bonito y lo mejor es, que no se le pega nada. Mi esposa esta felíz.

Hermosa, buen material, buena calidad. Nada se le pega ni por dentro ni por fuera. Para cocinar para dos o tres persona

They are very stylish and a lot of them. They were a gift for my mom so I have not used them personally.

Made one dish so far, pasta. Heated quickly and easy to clean.
