I have bought cookware in the past but it definitely does not compare to the 13 piece Rachel Ray set I received. I fried pork chops in one of the skillets and the clean up of it afterwards was almost effortless. I thought my Guy Fieri cookware was good but this set is way beyond my expectations. I would definitely buy the set and recommend family and friends to do so as well . I have bragged to anyone who wants to listen about this cookware. I have nothing negative to say at all about this set. Even the color of teal is great.
