Have you had a lot of issues with food sticking to the bottom with this set??

Sometimes food sticks, but it is easily removed by letting water and a little dish detergent sit in the pan for an hour or so. To me, these pans clean up very easily. I use Amway dish drops and Amway metal cleaner.

No - I adore it. I actually enjoy it more than my set of all clad - I suppose because it's a little lighter and easier to handle. The frying pan, not being non-stick, is definitely more work to clean with certain foods, like eggs - but it's not poisonous because it has no teflon. I just use plenty of olive oil.I love the set.

No. I've had to adjust the cooking temperature lower bc these pans cook so well. I rarely have anything stick but if I do a few minutes soak in soapy water or boil a bit of water in the pan before I take it off the burner. I love these pans.

When I first started using them yes, because I was using them as if they were non-stick pans. You have to use lower heat temperatures with stainless steel.

I have not had any problems. It has been a wonderful set. I would get it again. Judith Murr

You are correct, I have the same problem. It would seem that the lids don't exactly fit the bottom, as it's difficult to line them up to snap it down.

I have the pan and I cook on an electric range. The only time I have something stick to the bottom is when it wasn't properly cleaned. The food sticks to food residue left in the pan after washing. If it is properly cleaned, this problem doesn't happen. Also, preheat before adding oil, butter, etc. Fred

I have not had any issues with food sticking much when cooking. I have always had oil in the wok when I start cooking but did not need an excessive amount. Any minor sticking issues cleaned up easily.

No problems with the pots. I don't use the frying pans though because everything sticks to them.

I use mine for everyday dishes and have not experienced that with this set. I have had other dishes do that and used Bar Keepers Friend and they came right off!

I have used it once and have not had any problems with food sticking. Although it looks like the nonstick is starting to peel.

Did you use metal utensils ? Or put them in the dishwasher ? If you saved your paperwork, you can ask for a new set from Rachel Ray, maybe you'll get lucky. I've had my set for a while, no problems yet. I'll cross my fingers. Hope you can get this fixed soon, good luck.

Wow, You've got legs that aren't straight and sturdy huh? Mine are very sturdy and very straight. The griddle is also perfectly level which I was not expecting. Do you have the lower tray put in correctly?

I have had no problem. Air vents on bottom. But the stainless exterior is a pain to keep nice without smudges and markings

My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times. Using a mild vinegar soak for 10-15 min., seems to release the residue (it's still much easier to clean, than the stainless steel sets). My problem: When simmering/boiling with the glass covers on, fluid becomes trapped between the rubber gasket and metal rim. Over time, I'm noticing buildup and/or a bit of rusting(?) where the lid glass meets the metal, which is near impossible to clean ( I would've preferred a totally metal lid, to this design). Otherwise, I'm a fan of the ceramic coating, on the pans. My set has worked well, but the non-stick has started to retain some food bits at times.

Yes. I've had them for a year and love the set. However, the smaller pan (the one I use daily) is starting to stick.

I didn't find this to be a problem since the holder can be pushed down by finger pressure as you go, which lowers the food until there is next to nothing left. However, skinny things like carrots can be trickier to mount in the holder just right so it happens correctly.

I've had mine for a little over a year and the bottom is loose. My husband's is also. Not a huge deal, but I would buy something else if I knew it would not do that.

I've not had any issues with that. The challenge I've had is just finding the correct amount of flour to prevent sticking, and I think that will improve over time as it gets seasoned.

The only issue I had was with the top part connected to the motor. It can't really be washed, just wiped. I've only used it twice and food has gotten stick both times in two little areas - one near the side where there's a screw/hole and the part that connects to the blades. I've tried q-tips, paper towels, etc. but I can't get the stuff out! I hope it doesn't mold...
