Rachael Ray Create Delicious Nonstick Cookware Set, 13 Piece - Red

Our review of the Rachael Ray Create Delicious 13-piece cookware set finds it best for home cooks who want an attractive, easy-to-clean everyday collection that covers most stovetop and bake needs. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of the reinforced PlatinumShield nonstick surface and durable aluminum body, which together deliver dependable food release and even heating for routine cooking. The set's bright red shimmer finish and thoughtful details like flared rims and shatter-resistant lids make it practical while adding color to the kitchen.

Key Features

• PlatinumShield nonstick: Enhanced nonstick reinforced to be nine times harder than titanium helps with easy food release and low-fat cooking.
• Durable aluminum construction: Lightweight, even-heating aluminum reduces hot spots for more consistent results across pans.
• Induction compatible base: Stainless steel induction-compatible base adds versatility so the set works on more cooktops.
• Oven-safe to 400F: All cookware and bakeware in the set handle oven finishes and recipes that require moderate oven temperatures.
• Comfortable handles and lids: Dual-riveted stainless steel and silicone handles plus shatter-resistant glass lids provide secure handling and easy monitoring.
• Dishwasher safe: Most pieces are dishwasher safe for quicker cleanup, with a handwash recommendation for the cookie pan.

Who It's For

The set is ideal for home cooks who need a complete, attractive cookware collection that covers sauces, sautes, frying and simmering without buying pieces separately. The included 1.5-qt saucepan, 3-qt everything pan, 6-qt stockpot, 8.5- and 10.25-in frying pans, 3-qt saute pan, cookie pan and turner make it useful for families, weeknight meals and entertaining.

It may be less suitable for cooks who need heavy professional-weight cookware or who regularly use very high heat above 400F. Also, users who require absolute lifetime nonstick performance should be aware that some customers report mixed long-term durability of nonstick coatings.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Attractive red shimmer finish that stands out in the kitchen and receives positive comments for color.

Cons
