Does anyone have any of her stuff? I want it ... cuz its pretty. But I want it to be good stuff too. I figure it should be? I have a hard time believing she'd endorse crap but... please tell me if you know otherwise.

I have a grill pan from Kohl's of hers... I like it because you can use it on the stove and in the oven, and it's a unique size compared to some of the other pans I have. Only big problems is (1) that orange part is kinda ugly; (2) one time I took the pan out of the oven and put it on the stove to make a sauce from the stuff in the pan and forgot to use an oven mitt... gave myself a seriously painful burn. Just don't be a dope like I was and it's fine.
Definitely isn't as great as my calphalon items I'm slowly collecting (we didn't register for pots and pans because we didn't live together bf the wedding and didn't know what we'd need then so I use gift cards and get stuff on sale at BB&B) but it's decent cookware.
This is the one I have:
I don't think I'd want a whole set of her stuff but mostly because that orange color bugs me.

Re: rachael ray cookware
thx! i read a bunch of reviews that the enamel of whatever color you pick will start to chip off which i'm so not down with. i'm thinking thats the case if you get any colored cookware. prob best to stay with just stainless steel?
sorry bout your burn.
and sorry you don't like 'rachael' orange. i love it ... i'm thinking i'm going to get a few 'loose' items of her stuff.
thanks for your thoughts!!!

Re: rachael ray cookware
Yeah I'd definitely go for a few loose items. I actually really love mixing my cookware because it gives you so much more flexibility. She has some great shapes for cooking pans too, which are different than others out there and makes for more flexibility when you're cooking. I like flexibility in the kitchen.
Sorry about poo-pooing the orange!! We just have a lot of red in the kitchen (our dutch oven is red) and it clashes for us lol.
I just got a set of food network nesting prep bowls that are fabulous! Lemme see if I can find them.
doesn't it make you want to slap an apron on and hug it? LOL

I love it! Such sweet colors too!
Whenever I think about her, I want to eat a stick of butter or something...
Did you say you're doing an amazon registry?
DH got me this for Christmas one year and it is AMAZING. I love having boiling water on hand all the time! I'm a huge tea drinker, but it's also great for cooking and stuff!
We also have the rice cooker that's this brand and it's fabulous. Better than any other rice cooker we've ever tried before.

Re: rachael ray cookware
I've never had it...but I do know that when Emiril (sp?) had his line of Emirilware out, it was actually made by All-Clad. so it was a GREAT way to get excellent cookwear at an affordable price.
Maybe do some research to see who makes this line?? It will likely be the same quality as the name brand who makes it.
