I have used Rachel Ray cookware before , but I didn't have any experience with this cooking pan. I love the red color! It adds such a nice pop of color in my kitchen, and looks great on my black stovetop. The pan itself cooks so nicely! I have used it for veggies and pasta, and the food doesn't stick and cooks thru wonderfully. It's also very easy to clean. I love the versatility of it!  Compared to other saucepans I have used, this is by far my favorite! I highly recommend!!
