I have been a huge Rachael Ray for years now and love her cookware. This set is no exception! Not only is it very beautiful (the color of the handles and the sleek look at the bottom), but I love how sturdy and high quality it is! You can tell she is just not someone to slap her name on something to sell it. As soon as I got them, I washed them up and used them that night, and have been using them pretty much every night since. Food cooks fairly quick and evenly, and glides with ease in the pan. Clean up was a breeze! I am loving these pans and would recommend them to anyone!
