A couple of years ago, we tested a different Rachael Ray cookware set (enameled porcelain with aluminum core) – and it performed so poorly that we refused to write about it. Here at Steamy Kitchen, we review a lot of kitchen products. We always write both PROs and CONs of each product, and only choose products that are worth writing about. The Rachael Ray Cucina Hard Anodized Cookware is made with hard anodized steel by Meyer Corporation, one of the world’s largest cookware companies (they also own Anolon, Circulon, Ruffoni).
The hard anodized aluminum offers nonstick surface inside and outside with quick, even heating. The stainless steel handles offer a durable silicone covering for heat protection. The lid is shatter-proof glass, with the same rubber handle.
