While the cookware is fine, pretty, lots of sizes (love the fact that the pots have a higher side than most cookware) and comes with a couple of utensils, so you don't have to rush out to buy some, if you don't already have them. Cookware came quickly, packaged securely and colorfully...a money-saving rebate was listed, when in fact it was not available....keep up to date!!! Disappointing to say the least...as that was one of the reasons for choosing the rachel ray set, when the gradient or Paula Dean's speckled would have been just as pretty.
