Rachel Ray Cookware

By Rachel Ray

Darn it! Why couldn’t I have waited two years to get married! I could have gotten Rachael Ray cookware! You may have noticed Rachael cooking with these on her new talk show and she has given a couple sets away to guests, too.

While Amazon only has some of the cookware line,Linens N’ Things seems to have all of it, including hard anodized, cast iron and enamel cookware in orange and blue. There are a ton of options. We’re talking pots and pans, fondue sets, a grill pan, and a commercial skillet. There’s even one called “Skillet w/Cast Iron Sammy Press.” That one cracks me up. I might have to buy it just because it has a “sammy press.” There are so many new products that I can’t even list them all. I am going to have to make some serious room in my kitchen for all this stuff.

According to one press release, “the hard-anodized nonstick collection features Ray’s specially designed oval-shaped pans, including a stockpot, a saute pan, and a griddle. She came up with this shape so that a stove can accommodate multiple large pans.” The press release also offers some details on the construction of the pots and pans:

The line features a restaurant-tested nonstick surface and has flared rims for strength and drip-free pouring. Lids are see-through glass and handles feature combination stainless steel and silicone grips in a choice of orange and charcoal grey. Ray’s cast iron cookware has a porcelain exterior to prevent rusting and reaction with foods. There is also a line of tools and gadgets, including spatulas, spoons, turners, measuring cups, a timer, corkscrew, and an oversized coaster-trivet.

When discussing the cookware line, Rachael said: “It has to be fun, fashionable, and help cooks succeed in their homes,” she said. “At the same time, it has to be of the highest quality, while also providing a good value.” The manufacturer is the same one that did Rachael’s Anolon Advanced line.

Feel free to check the cookware line out in the Everything Rachael Ray store!

    By Rachel Ray

    Rachel Ray is a television personality who hosts cookery shows- 30 minute meals, Rachel Ray’s tasty travels. She gives us simple recipes which can be prepared in 30 minutes or less. In her recipes, she uses garlic and chicken stock to enhance flavors and also uses fresh herbs wherever necessary. Like many celebrity chefs, Rachel has also come up with her own Rachel Ray knives, cookware and utensils.

    Rachel Ray knives are known to be the newest addition to her cutlery. Rachel used a santoku knife in her early days of her series. The knives she currently uses are manufactured by Furi and have tempered stainless steel blades and a Gusto Grip handle. She has named them so. The handle is covered with an injection molded synthetic rubber finish and is structured to prevent from slipping away from the hand. The knife case is orange in color where the knives can be stored. Each set has three knives- a 6 inch serrated utility knife, 5 inch east/west knife and a 3.5 inch paring knife.

    The east/west knife is a short knife which can be used to chop vegetables and herbs and slice meat. This is the most commonly used knife in her shows. The rubberized mold gives complete grip and you can do your chopping with more ease. The blade also has dimples along the slides to prevent food from sticking to the blade.

    A good way to take care of your knives is to sharpen them several times in a year. If you hold up the knife against light and there is no reflection of light then you have a nice new edge to your knife. You should also store the knives in a clean dry place preferably in a block. Rachel Ray knives can turn anybody into a super chef. The knives that she uses are also quick and easy to sharpen. They can be cleaned and rinsed with warm soap water and wiped with a soft cloth or paper towel. It is advisable to use the knife for what it was designed or you could damage the piece.
