Review by J. Novak:
I received this cookware December 06 and have been cooking with it everyday since then. It is truly an amazing cookware set. It goes from stove top to oven with no problem. It looks nice hanging on my pot rack in my kitchen even after all of the use it gets from me and my family. The pots cook evenly and the food does not stick making clean up spectacularly fast and easy. I was lucky enough to receive and add to my collection this past Christmas the larger, deep oval skillet for large family dinners. I highly recommend this set for anyone from beginning cooks to very experienced ones.

I bought the set about 4 months ago and absolutly love it. It is sooo easy to clean, and I don’t normally like to handwash, and it cooks great. The orange handles are great especially if you have kids that like to help you cook. I have since bought the 8 qt. pasta to add to my original set. Can’t say enough good things about this cookware.

Review by Rebecca J. Siwicki:
I am kicking myself that I decided to buy this Rachael Ray version over Analon’s original design. I figured I’d save myself 30 bucks. This pan is really thin and heats pasta water rapidly because of it, but it is horrible for soups, legumes, etc. Because the walls/bottom of the pan are so thin, stuff sticks and scorches very easily. It’s best for pasta or corn on the cob.

I do understand that it being lightweight is a plus for a pasta pot, as it makes it easier to lift and pour…but I really was hoping it could do double duty like Analon’s oval 5qt saute pan. Thankfully, though it tends to burn my soup, it does clean up easily!

Review by M. Mitchell:
I originally bought the 10 piece set and loved it so much that I keep adding on. This is my latest addition and I love it just as much as the rest. The pot is oval so that you don’t have to break up your long pasta noodles and it has a pouring spout on the side for easy draining. It’s also super easy to clean.

Review by Matt:
I was really excited to buy these, loved the color and loved the silicone handles. Unfortunately I have discovered the porcelain enamel rubs right off, even with just plain old water.

I noticed the first week I bought the set that the most of the pans already had minor smudges exposing the metal of the pan under the green paint. Then one day I was toweling off a pan I HAND WASHED and noticed the green enamel rubbed off all over the towel. I simply washed the pans with warm soapy water, nothing harsh.

I am extremely dissappointed with the quality of these pans. It is a great design but they are evidently made with very cheap workmanship.

Review by J. Tate:
I have the blue set. This cookware is very affordable for what you get and so nice to use. I love the rubber handles that are angled upward and the see-through lids. My only complaint is that this set is not dishwasher safe. If you run these through the dishwasher, the color will fade. I have not done this because the paperwork included said not to do so, but I have heard complaints of the color fading after cleaning in a dishwasher. This is an excellent beginner cookware set!

Review by JJAM:
I didn’t think I would use these so often, but I do. I find myself looking for recipes to try, just to use these. They hold heat like you wouldn’t believe, they actually cook everything evenly, and they are great to put under the broiler to get nice crisp crusts on casseroles.

The small size is absolutely perfect for a household of two people. It has allowed me to scale down my recipes to work for just two people, and still get the same quality that I would in the full scale version. The rounded sides are great and make it easy to scoop things out. They don’t look very deep, but they can hold A LOT.

And, as cliche as it might be, they ARE great from going from the oven to table, and people really are impressed (plus, that makes less dishes to clean up, BONUS!!). Buy these, you will not be disappointed.

Review by Patricia Moore:
I like these very much. Handles are comfortable and large enough. My only complaint is that the pictures on the internet show a lovely lemon yellow which induced me to buy. The reality is that they are 1960′s “Harvest Gold”, NOT lemon yellow. I can only assume that the lovely lime color is actually muddy and that the beautiful royal blue is in fact dark prussian blue. I did debate about sending them back because I was disappointed in the color. However the unusual design and well thought out engineering of the dishes won out.

Review by Mom of 4 C’s:
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this pot set. I had just recently relocated from up north to down south and was in the market for a new pot set for my new home. I did alot of research and looking at reviews on many many websites. I was a little apprehensive about purchasing since my new home has a glass cooktop stove and many reviewers expressed concern about its use with a glass cooktop. Well i decided to give it a try and they are great. They clean up easily and cook well and evenly. When storing I place a paper towel in between all the pots so that they won’t scratch each other. I even use them with high temperature and no problems with the pots or my cooktop. I cook at least twice a day so the pots get quite a lot of use and they still look brand new after four months of heavy use and constant washing. Great buy!!!!

Review by Donna S. Weber:
I have not purchased (for myself) cookware in 15 years and bought this set a year ago for my daughter and have been helping her out with her twin girls and using the cookware. I liked it so much that I purchased the 14 pc. set for myself. The best investment I have made in a long time.

Review by E. Hornaday:
I have Lupus, and suffer from the growing loss of mobility in all of my limbs. I love to cook, but have struggled to continue using my expensive cookware because it is now too heavy for me to safely manage.

I have agonized over this development and had feared that I would be forced to replace my cookware with really thin (light and cheap) aluminum pots and pans. If so, I knew I would be giving up a lot of cooking flexibility and the quality I had learned to rely on and love.

At least, I thought that until Rachael Ray put out her imaginative cooking line! Not only does this five-quart oval saute cook like a dream, it weighs about half of what my other cookware does, has that great helper handle to lift it and serve the contents, and cleans easier than ANY pan that I own at any price.

As a result, I can continue to do what I love — cooking — despite my illness! When you’re disabled, you have to give up a lot of things that had been meaningful in your life, not to mention independence. I applaud ANY product that is disabled-compatible.

In reading the reviews for this great pan, I hadn’t noticed anyone raving about its weight. For folks like me, that’s a really huge deal.

Thanks, Rach!

Review by leenbean:
I like this pan a lot. I didn’t realize how long this pan was and was a bit concerned about using it on my conventional size stove, but I have to say this pan is great! Fries really well and clean up is a breeze. I am very picky about my cooking pieces and would recommend this to anyone. Storage takes a bit getting used to, but it is looks nice enough to live on the stove top.

Review by Kelly Rogers:
I just received this set for Christmas and I love it! I too was nervous about switching from non-stick, but it hasn’t been too bad. Just make sure you spray with non-stick before making hashbrowns!! LOL The set is beautiful and functional. LOVELOVELOVE the glass lids and grippy handles. The only thing it needs is a larger pan as the two provided are fairly small. I went ahead and bought Rachael Ray 5 Quart Hard Anodized Orange Oval Saute Pan with Helper Handle to complete the set.

Review by E. Bourgeois:
Nice set for the price. I’m switching over from “non-stick” so I was a little hesitant about sticking & clean-up. But, it hasn’t been bad at all. I did have to look up how to get the white spots out of the skillet (water & vinegar). I just wish there were larger pieces that matched this set!

Review by luci:
This is the only cookware I use now. I have tried lots of cookware in my life, but this is the best. I don’t have to worry about eating teflon or chipping it, and it cooks evenly and perfectly. Wouldn’t trade my Rachael Ray cookware for any other type, even the really really expensive ones.

Review by A. Noboa:
I just bought this set, received it today, and couldn’t wait to use it, so I made some chili tonight. Heats evenly, and super easy to clean. My favorite color is blue, so that’s why I opted for the blue handled set as opposed to orange. It’s really all you need for a basic cookware set, and it’s really great quality. I look forward to many years of cooking with this set.

Review by Dushku:
these spoons are both great. the deeper ladle spoon is great for scooping up soup or just putting some pasta in a bowl. the lazy spoon is great because it allows you too cook and get things moving around, yet it also serves up nicely. they both had handles on the sides to hook onto your pots which is so convenient when you do not have extra space on your counter for more spoons. both clean easily!

**********after using these spoons not a whole lot. maybe about 4 times with the ladle spoon, i noticed that the back of the orange spoon is already starting to peel off. the rubber coating is slowly falling off. and i always hand wash these too.

Review by JJAM:
Everyone was laughing at these spoons when I set them out on the edge of the bowls for people to use, but they soon discovered how great they were and were envious. No more looking for spoon holders, or grabbing the little plates to put them down on.

The deep spoon is great for pasta salads, sauces with chunks in it, soups, and other things where all you need is “one hearty spoonfull.” The less deep one is great for general stirring, cooking, getting just those special bit’s out of the pan, grabbing that lone meatball, or those slices of beef you have your eye on.

On a serious note, if you have arthritis, these might not be the best tools for you or to give as a gift to someone with arthritis. They are VERY heavy, and they could cause fatigue in weak hands/wrists, especially the large spoon (the thing I swear weighs like 3 pounds). And be careful, the slots on the spoons don’t fit EVERY bowl or pan, test it out before you put it on and walk away.

I would recommend these to anyone.

Review by Kris J.:
I have to say, I really like the Orange set of untensils. Very sturdy, yet won’t scratch cookware.

Review by Karen Davis:
I have all of these tools, gotten in different orders and as gifts. I have 2 each of the small and large spatula. I use these tools every day. The pastry brush is the greatest thing. I like it so much better than the regular bristle brush. I picked orange because it is a happy color and makes you feel good when you use it. I love each an everyone of these tools. I recommend them highly.

Thank You
