We all know that Rachael Ray doesn't own a cookware manufacturing company. She licenses her name out. So the obvious question is: Who makes this stuff, and is there any reason to expect it might be OK?

The answer: This set is manufactured by the Meyer corporation, one of the biggest cookware manufacturers in the world. They own and/or manufacture a variety of decent brands: Circulon, Anolon, and Farberware. They also manufacture the Paula Deen line, the relatively low end SilverStone line, and this, Rachael Ray. Circulon and Analon are good midline nonstick pans, and you'll find the Farberware name on some nice midline stainless steel.

Where does Rachael Ray fit in? Basically, it's somewhat lower end than either Circulon or Analon. And that assessment comes primarily from the weight of this cookware. This stuff is relatively light. Now, some will appreciate the thinner walls and smaller weight. But if you are a serious cook you know that lighter stuff tends to have more hot spots and doesn't cook as evenly. It also doesn't hold the heat as efficiently.

So this is NOT something you should buy if you're a serious cook, or you're looking to upgrade from a decent set of starter cookware.

The nonstick surfaces seem acceptable. I used the pans for a couple of weeks and haven't seen any of the kinds of flaking that you see almost immediately when you use very cheap cookware. Whether they'll last for the long haul I can't say. But my guess would be, given the price point, that they'll eventually start to scratch and chip, the way that most low/midline cookware does.

The handles are cute: Stainless Steel with a silicone cover that is color coordinated.

Rachael Ray Tools 2-Piece Lazy Spoon & Lazy Ladle Set

Everyone was laughing at these spoons when I set them out on the edge of the bowls for people to use, but they soon discovered how great they were and were envious. No more looking for spoon holders, or grabbing the little plates to put them down on.

The deep spoon is great for pasta salads, sauces with chunks in it, soups, and other things where all you need is "one hearty spoonfull." The less deep one is great for general stirring, cooking, getting just those special bit's out of the pan, grabbing that lone meatball, or those slices of beef you have your eye on.

On a serious note, if you have arthritis, these might not be the best tools for you or to give as a gift to someone with arthritis. They are VERY heavy, and they could cause fatigue in weak hands/wrists, especially the large spoon (the thing I swear weighs like 3 pounds). And be careful, the slots on the spoons don't fit EVERY bowl or pan, test it out before you put it on and walk away.

I would recommend these to anyone.

 Extremely disappointed in these utensils. They feel like cheap plastic. And the heads on the spatulas are super soft flimsy. The baster, which is near useless to me, is actually the only piece that feels quality.

These are what I would have liked in my first apartment in college. I know the price isn't really high, but these just won't likely make it into my drawer, or if they do, will be quickly replaced.

I would recommend a kitchenaid set, which I have several, as much higher quality.

If this set was like $10-15, then I would feel it was fair value. But not at this price.

I bought these to replace another um... not-so-heat-resistant rubber/plastic spatula that I accidently melted. The wife wasn't amused.
However, we both think these are pretty darn good.
The slight spoon/scoop to them makes them useful when dealing with foods you want to serve.
They do a nice job of scraping the edge of a bowl, and most importantly...
they're heat resistant to like 400 degrees or more! Gotta like that.
But um... I think maybe a color other than construction-zone-cone orange might have been nice.
Oh well... still worth while.
