I have really enjoyed the racheal Ray hard-anodized pots and pans! The non-stick materiel is great and so much better and safer for us then Teflon. I have used the pans to cook eggs, sautÃ©ed veggies, boil pasta, and sear meats, all with great success. So far the pans are holding up well and clean up wonderfully. I would definitely recommend this set to my friends and fsmily.
