Product Description

This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a sauté pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by sautéing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.

Amazon.com Review
Colorful, practical, and comprehensive, this 10-piece cookware set from Rachael Ray covers all the bases for stovetop cooking, from boiling pasta to sautéing chicken to simmering a marinara sauce to frying bacon. The set includes both 1-1/2-quart and 3-quart saucepans, a 6-quart stockpot, and a 2-3/4-quart, 10-inch sauté pan, all with lids. In addition, the set provides an 8-inch skillet and a 10-inch skillet.

Constructed in durable aluminum, the pots and pans resist dents and corrosion while conducting heat with efficiency. Porcelain enamel coats the exterior of each piece in the set for broad heat distribution, free of hot spots. A nonstick interior ensures hassle-free cooking and cleaning with all cookware pieces. One long aluminum handle rivets securely to the side of each skillet, the saucepans, and the sauté for transferring food to and from the burner. The long handles each have a hole installed for hanging purposes. For moving the saucepot, two loop-style aluminum handles affix to the pot's sides. Silicone rubber covers all cookware handles for a soft and ergonomically friendly grip. The cookware lids, manufactured in clear tempered glass, allow the chef to visually monitor cooking without releasing heat or flavor. The shatter-proof lids remove with top-mounted handles like those on the stockpot. The cookware sustains oven temperatures up to 400 degrees F. Made in Thailand, Rachael Ray offers a limited lifetime warranty for the set. Upon shipping, the set measures 23 by 13-1/2 by 12-1/3 inches and weighs 19-1/5 pounds. --Jessica Reuling

Customer Reviews

Color comes off in water!
I was really excited to buy these, loved the color and loved the silicone handles. Unfortunately I have discovered the porcelain enamel rubs right off, even with just plain old water.

I noticed the first week I bought the set that the most of the pans already had minor smudges exposing the metal of the pan under the green paint. Then one day I was toweling off a pan I HAND WASHED and noticed the green enamel rubbed off all over the towel. I simply washed the pans with warm soapy water, nothing harsh.

I am extremely dissappointed with the quality of these pans. It is a great design but they are evidently made with very cheap workmanship.

Excellent, Affordable Cookware!
I have the blue set. This cookware is very affordable for what you get and so nice to use. I love the rubber handles that are angled upward and the see-through lids. My only complaint is that this set is not dishwasher safe. If you run these through the dishwasher, the color will fade. I have not done this because the paperwork included said not to do so, but I have heard complaints of the color fading after cleaning in a dishwasher. This is an excellent beginner cookware set!

Outstanding Quality
I purchased the Rachael Ray 10-Piece Porcelain Enamel Coodware Set in Blue at the end of December 2007. The handles are securely attached. The pans are just the right weight....not too heavy and not too light. The stay cool handles are terrific. The non-stick surface is awesome...the food slides right off. The see-through lids are great so you can keep an eye on whats cooking. It has the look and feel of expensive cookware but is very reasonably priced. The only thing that I didnt know before I purchased this item was that it is not recomended to cook on high with a glass top stove. I guess the enamel can fuse to the cook top. I have a glass top stove and at first I was concerned. I cook with this cookware set on Medium High instead of high. I have not had a problem at all. In fact, I used to burn meals in my old cookware but now that I dont use high heat to cook with I have not burned a single meal! If you are looking for great cookware with outstanding quality then I highly recomend the Rachael Ray 10-Piece Porcelain Enamel Cookware Set.
