First off I'll only ever buy Rachel Ray. Right out box these a beautiful. You know how some pans turn black on the bottom, these won't! Hate burning your hands no worries these rubber handles are perfect for that. Colors are bright and here's one the best parts, dishwasher friendly baby ha ha ha! Geezzz I'm telling you friends you might even be able to melt candy because nothing else seems to stick! My favorite part is that lids are flat, looks very clean and well put together that way. I've already went to the kitchen and threw away my old favorite pan. Move over I said Rachel came home!!!!
