The Rachael Ray nonstick pans are working great. I would say the quality is comparable to my other nonstick pans which are also hard anodized and a pricier brand. I was not aware of these before I try them, but should I ever need to replace my non-stick I would not hesitate to buy these. And I love the color choices, the teal is my favorite. As I just started using them I cannot comment to how they will hold up over time, but so far they don't have a scratch on them. I also love the spoon that came with the set, the notch in the side it has to hold on to the pans is such a smart design.
