I have been really happy with the Rachel Ray cookware set.  Kitchen items get used hard in our household - my husband tries to remove stuff from pans with metal scissors swearing he isn't touching the non-stick coating.  He also likes to run things on the Sanitizer cycle in the dishwasher a lot and melt kid's drinking straws.  These pans seem to be holding up to our tough household use.   We have an orange/ green kitchen and these also add a nice pop of color.   I also like that I could get an additional saucepan to match. I like these better than Tfal pots and pans and splurged on a second Rachel Ray set for our summer house.
