I was not aware of the Rachael Ray Create Delicious Hard-Anodized Nonstick 10.25"" Covered Deep Skillet but I loved the it as soon as I used it. No matter what I cooked the food just slid off the pan it was like the demonstrations you see in those TV commercials but this was real and I never had that happen to me before with any other pan or skillet I have tried. The handle was sturdy and non slip even when using a pot holder. I have had accidents before whit handles that just slid wight out of my hands and this handle stayed firmly in my grip. The teal color was a darker teal but still a very nice addition to the kitchen, I would definitely buy this product in the future and recommend it to others.
