Review of Rachael Ray Hard Anodized II Nonstick Dishwasher Safe 8-1/2-Inch

Customer Ratings:

I love my R.R. skillets. They are the best skillets I have ever bought. No more

cheap teflon pans for me.

I can use pam spray when cooking an egg and it does wash great. No residue left

on the surface.

Thank you

This pan is perfect! The handle has a nice grip and feels just right. The pan works as one would want an egg (omelette) pan to, and it also cleans out very well both inside as well as the bottom of the pan. I am very glad I purchased it! Don't hesitate! :)

I bought this pan because I had the 10 inch pan and loved it! I find these pans to be very sturdy. The finish is very strong and non-stick. I hand wash them because I want them to last forever!

For years, I used all clad cookware, and then some modified all clad cookware, namely "Emeril cookware". One mark of a quality pan is the thickness and material the base is made of. Nice thick bases on pans distribute heat evenly, and generally require some preheating. My cookware is about 10 years old, and is still going fairly strong, although my smaller 8 inch pan was ruined when a friend ran it through the dishwasher, and thus my reason for trying something different.

The Rachel Ray cookware is fairly thin, and is not reminiscent of any quality pan I've ever used. The handle is very stylish and comfortable. Despite the claim of nonstick, I still need to use a light coat of olive oil, although I do not use any sprays as per the instructions. I do find in general that my heat needs to be turned down when using nonstick pans.

For $20, I would say this is above average, so I'm not going to bash the product. I think it's a decent buy for the money. Now, if you want to start comparing it against a $100 all clad, well that's a different discussion, but again, for $20.00 I'd say this is a decent buy.

For someone who doesn't want to spend $100 on a high end pan, I would say the Emeril brand is of better quality (stay away from "sets"), and comparable in price to Rachel Ray cookware. Another outstanding brand is Calphalon. They make a very nice 8" pan.
