When I got Rachael Ray Create Delicious Nonstick Stockpot, 6-Quart, Light Blue Shimmer I was impressed right out of the box, the weight was sturdy but not too heavy to make cooking difficult, and I love the handles they are cushioned and feel great. I've made spaghetti in it so far and unlike some other pots I've tried it cleaned up great and still looks brand new and that's even after using it to cook the hamburger.  I'd definitely buy the stockpot and even the entire line. I saw the Rachael Ray line when I was shopping for new cookware, but they didn't have the set I wanted in stock and I don't like to wait. Lol Just being honest! I'd certainly would recommend this to others.
