"Practical cookware gets a grip with these colored grippy handles - they look cool and feel great in your hand."

Equip your kitchen with the items you'll really use-at an exceptional value. This 10-piece set includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce, a big stockpot for "stoups" or pasta and skillets that turn out perfect pancakes or tasty tuna melts. Hard-anodized aluminum promotes even heating and resists scratches and scrapes. Nonstick surface releases food cleanly from the pans to the plate and makes cleanup a snap. Grippy silicone handles are comfortable in your hand and oven-safe to 400. Glass lids let you keep an eye on foods without removing the lid.

Rachael Ray grew up in food
"My first vivid memory is watching mom in a restaurant kitchen. She was flipping something with a spatula. I tried to copy her and ended up grilling my right thumb! I was 3 or 4," says Ray, who insists that cooking is a way of life she was simply born into. "Everyone on both sides of my family cooks." Her maternal grandfather grew and cooked everything that his family of 12 needed for sustenance and her dad's family was steeped in the food-rich traditions of Louisiana. The Ray family owned a family restaurant on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Eventually the family relocated to New York, where her mother went to work as the food supervisor for a chain of restaurants upstate. "I was surrounded by all different styles of cooking and worked in the food service industry in just about every capacity you can imagine."
