Rachael Ray Cucina Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Pots and Pans Set, 12 Piece, Gray with Blue Handles

I got this set to replace my older Rachel Ray set.Love this set so far!!!

Rachael Ray Has done it again! It was over 20 years since I've had her first set that I've ever gotten, not all of them were ready to be replaced, And that says a lot! But I figured it's time for the new set. So the one I did get was the cusina hard anodized set! Absolutely fabulous ! I love them! I don't have a dishwasher don't use a dishwasher so I can't tell you if that is a problem or not. I will tell you I have not had one thing stick to any of the pans an⅗d pots that I've used. They wipe right out without using it soap or water. So if you're looking for an amazing Rachael Ray set I would get the cucina I got the 12 piece set. get whatever number you want for your set but I guarantee you will love it and I guarantee you'll have it for 20 plus years!Well as if 10/01/2022 UPDATEHad this set for a while now .. chips . Cant believe it but 2 of my pans chiped!! Im frustrated!!If i could go back in time i would buy my original set again!! Never had this problem with those.... I did my research and the conica set seemed to be amazing!! BUT.. The coating chips!!!! No dishwasher.. only hand wash.. they DONOT STICK... BUT THE LINING CHIPS OFF!! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!! Get the original set orange handles!! The red handles dont look good in the garbage.....

Great set

Overall, this is a good pot and pan set. The non stick works GREAT. I still haven't broken the habit of using pam on pan surfaces, but I can tell you that its not needed. At all. Eggs slip and slide all over the pan without pam. They are light weight, which is good and bad. The silicone handles work great. Unlike the pots, the pans step up in size really well. The biggest pan holds quite a of food. The spoon ROCKS. Solid construction even when its around hot stuff. The pots boil water like a champ. On a different note, the pot sizes are significantly different and don't step up in size evenly like the pans do. The small pot is tiny and only holds a quart of water. The mid-sized pot is bigger, but still only holds 2 quarts of water. The biggest pot holds 7 or 8 quarts of water. This gap in size between the medium and large sized pots is painful. For the price, you'd think these pots and pans would come with separators. I am paranoid about scratching the Teflon while stacking these things on top of each other. Not to mention using a fork anywhere near them. My old pans that these replaced were scratched and they too were Teflon coated. Once that stuff is gone everything sticks to them. The outside of these pans stain pretty easily. I apparently let some food slide out of the smaller pan and down the side where it put a nice burn stain on the side of it. I have yet to be able to get it off but it doesn't effect how the pan functions. The lids snap crackle and pop when they warm up. I am worried that they will break like some of the other reviewers have experienced. The glass heats up more slowly than the metal that surrounds the glass, which is what causes the snap crackle pop. Anyway, The spatula SUCKS. It gets really flimsy when its warm which is In stark contrast to the spoon. Tried using it with stir fry and it bowed and bent, so it stays in my spatula drawer.Pros:- Great Non-stick!- Silicone handles on the pots, pans, and lids work like a champ.- Pan sizes step up nice and evenly.- The spoon is AWESOME. You could probably run it over with a truck and it would be fine.Cons:- Non-stick is Teflon which can get scratched off.- No pot and pan separators to help reduce the risk of them getting scratched while stacking.- Pot sizes aren't sized evenly. (Counted Against the 5 star)- Spatula is a flimsy joke. (Counted against the 5 star)- Lids sound rickety when they heat up ( Will count HEAVILY against the 5 star if they break because of it. So far so good though.)- The outside of the pots and pans stain fairly easily- No graduated measurement markings. (Picky, didn't count against the 5 star)Other thoughts:Turning 30 this year and decided to graduate from my crappy bachelor pots and pans to a nicer set.

We love our new cookware. This is the easiest to clean, nothing sticks to the pans. The wife does most of the cooking, then I pitch in to clean up.

*From a husband and father who has no business being near a stove*After sooo many years of being cheap, buying the basic cheapy sets from Family Dollar and the like, i finally gave in and purchased the expensive set as a Christmas gift for my wife.Let me just say that this set is 100% amazing. With my wife's work schedule, it ended up being me to cook dinners for the family for a bit. Discloser: *Before the Rachael Ray Cucina set: I am NOT a cook. I should not even be allowed in the kitchen. After the Rachael Ray Cucina set: I am a culinary wizard. The insides are amazingly non stick. I mean like, what should have clearly burned or stuck to the pan did not, so I consider that to be a great success! This set has made me more comfortable cooking in the kitchen and making dishes I am finally proud of.My only issue would be that the bottom of the pots and pans mark up easily, especially with traditional electric coil burners, but it does not take away from its effectiveness inside the pot/pan. The spatula took a little bit of getting used to, but I've got it down now.

I bought this set, because I absolutely love my old set by Rachael Ray. Not sure why the color difference. The new set has a purple pink hue color on the inside. 🧐My old set is a lot heavier than the new set that just arrived.I didn’t try to cook in them yet, but from the reviews, it seems they are still great to cook in.Testing them out for Christmas.

Absolutely love this cookware! Even heating and easy clean up.
