Very easy to clean. Pans do not warp on the burner. Very happy with this cookware.

Love this set. Very elegant and cooks well. Presentation is everything to me.

I absolutely love this set. An excellent purchase.

Nice set of cookware bearing Rachael Ray's name. And signature on each skillet, pot and saucepan. This set comes with two skillets that are non stick, two covered saucepans, a covered sauté pan and a covered stockpot all of which have silicone and stainless steel handles. The tempered glass lids also have stainless steel handles with silicone for easy gripping. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. forgot to mention the slotted spoon and spatula.

I unboxed the Cucina 12- piece Agave Blue Cookware Set this morning to try out the set. The skillets, pots and pans with lids are all very well made. I don't really see what the functionality of glass lids are since you would need to remove the lid in order to see in it because of the amount of steam that builds up under the top of the glass lid. The size of the pans are a little on the small side but if your not cooking for a family you should be fine with the smaller sizes. The weight is good. Nice and solid. The overall look of this set is great !

First thing I noticed and liked about this pan set is that each pan has substantial weight, which generally means that you get more even heating. Using these pans on my gas stovetop I get just that. The frying pan I tried first, and it heated up fast and evenly. I had a perfect fried egg. I boiled water in the pot and it worked very well. Next thing I loved is the silicone grip on each handle. These grips do not get hot, and they are very nice on the hand. My other pans would get hot grips when boiling water or being on the burner too long. Usually I would find out the hard way. I do not have that same problem with these. The color is a beautiful baked on enamel coating that will last as long as the nonstick coating on the inside. (I am guessing, because neither of them show any wear yet) Excellent pan set, comes with a few utensils that I am sure I will use eventually, but as for now I love the pans! Probably the only downside to these is that they ARE NOT dishwasher safe. Putting these pans in the dishwasher will cause them to discolor and possible deteriorate the non-stick surface. I personally hand-wash all of my cookware, so this is not an issue for me, but it may be for some. These pans are suitable for use on Gas, Electric, and ceramic cooktops.

i love the pan set. This was all i needed. the color is amazing. The metal is so sturdy and very good finish. Getting an decent priced pan set is very important because it makes a difference during the cooking. My experience with this pan set so far is amazing. The eggs doesn't stick to the pan like my other pans and it cooks the meal equally.Thank you.

We were in bad need of new cookware. My wife has been making due with our old pots and pans for longer than she should have and this was a welcome replacement for those. These look and feel nice, not like some of the cheaper stuff we have seen. The handles are riveted on tight so they won't come loose like the bolted on ones we have had. It states that these are dishwasher safe but in our experience it is better to hand wash. The handles are covered with a silicone wrap and the lids fit tightly on the pots. This isn't top of the line stuff but it should last for several years if it's not being abused. We have had the high end pots and pans and I really can't see spending the money for them when they don't seem to last any longer than less expensive stuff (our experience). I wouldn't call this a 12 piece set though as the 11th and 12th pieces are just plastic utensils that don't seem very sturdy. I don't think they will last long in our house but I could be wrong.

I like this set and its not to heavy but has thick bottom for easy browning. However, i used the frying pan, placed in the dishwasher, and when i removed it, one of the pikes thats covered with a scratch coating, had 2 big scratches. scratchproof coating is way tooooooo thin on the inside

Many other cookware sets in the price range that Home Depot has this set available really dont hold a candle to this cookware set. I'm usually very skeptical of celebrity branded anything but this Rachael Ray Cucina Cookware set is very good. I am our chief cook and bottle washer due to work scheduling. Cast Iron and Carbon Steel are my go to cookware for most things I cook, however a really good set of non stick for certain things is a big bonus for me or in any kitchen. This has a nice heft to it, not heavy but feels substantial. The non-stick interior and the hard anodized exterior is really a combination thats hard to beat. And unlike a lot of hard anodized, its specially treated to allow it to be cleaned in a dishwasher if ever really needed or desired. But it practically wipes clean with a paper towel and hot water in the sink in every situation I have used it in. I did put it to the test just to see how well it held up in the dishwasher and it did just fine. (dishwasher safe is engraved on the bottom of each piece of this set.) It cooks well and heats evenly(Oven safe to 400° f...caution silicone covers will heat up and burn you without oven mitts) and has a lifetime warranty to boot.

I love the color!!! In the past the black pans have been a go to but the red was vibrant and a welcomed change. I was please with the conductivity of these items and the price point is great for such a higher quality product. It is something I would recommend to any home cook. The sizes were the primarily used items anyone in kitchen would need to get by with so this a great first set for someone starting out on their own.

my wife love them

Rachel Ray cookware is excellent. Everything cooks evenly, doesn't stick, which is a plus for cookware. The pots are easy to clean. The handles don't get hot, which is great when you are cooking at a high heat. The pots can also go in the dishwasher which also makes clean up easier. The utensils that came with the pots are a great additive and addition to any kitchen.

Wanted to update some old cookware. I really like the deep rich cranberry/ruby color of the this set. This set has a nice variety of 3 frying pans and 3 pots in convenient sizes with padded handles that dissipates heat well . Each item feels sturdy, well built yet very comfortable and balanced in your hands. There are clear lids with each pot/pan and the lids fit snugly and each have the same nice soft covered handle. The nonstick material works well and i have cooked a variety of times from eggs, pasta and meats. Each item cooked easily and cleaned up with little to no effort. I didn't realize how bad my old set was until I started cooking with this one.

We recently installed a glass cooktop and I found out my old cookware just did not measure up anymore. The bottoms were too warped and besides they were simply old. This new cookware fits in perfectly with the new look, the dark gray and red handled design is a perfect accompaniment to the black glass, but the best part is the way it works. I have done quite a bit of cooking with it already, lots of the cooking normally would make me spend hours trying to scrape off the cooked on parts, not with this cookware. I love to make eggs benedict on Sundays, and this time the sauce did not stick, the clean up was done in a jiffy and I am absolutely delighted with this. I have fried some pork chops in the pans, and again, the result was wonderful, the pork chops were golden brown even without ANY oil or fat added, and the cleanup a quick rinse. Simply make sure to only use medium heat, to prolong the life of the pans. I could not be happier!

This cookware set is very well made of non-stick hard enamel with a porcelain exterior and aluminum construction to heat evenly. It has double rivets on the handles. The handles are rubberized (very comfortable) with stainless steel construction. The glass lids are a good quality also and are shatter proof, although I wouldn't want to test one!! I love the glass lids to view how the food is cooking. Man times I didn't know with my solid lids set it was ready to boil over. They are oven safe to 400 degrees. They are not dishwasher safe, which is no problem because I never put pans in the dishwasher anyway. They are not a heavy set, so you could consider that in your decision to purchase. Overall, I am happy with the set.

Paint started chipping on outer parts

The pots and pans seem to be a good quality. I would have liked for them to be a little bigger in size, but I still chose these because I wanted the HARD-ANODIZED NONSTICK in grey on the outside so that it doesn't get scratched or stained over time, and then to have the agave clue on the handles only. The utensils are cheap. It would have been better if they had steel/metal on the inside and then coated in the agave blue plastic to make them more sturdy.

These pots and pans are wonderful. I have never had anything stick to the pots and pans and I love that even the smallest pan has its own lid.

They are beautiful, distribute heat nicely, and clean up is easy!

Love this set, love the color and they cook and clean up so well!
