Curtis Stone TS is Drying Rack and Large Silicone Trivet

noodleann — Fri, 01 Sep 2017 01:10:31 GMT

The September 2 TS appears to be Curtis Stone's very popular drying rack/trivet plus a round 12" silicone trivet that can also function as a jar opener, a dish cover in the microwave, a microwave mat, pot cover on the stove, etc. Price is $24.95, free shipping, 4 flexpays available.

The regular rack is offered in white and Stone Grey. The TS is offered in white, black Stone Grey, red, and the pretty turquoise featured in some of the cookware and accessories.

I love my drying rack and may buy another, just because the one I bought is more or less a permanent extension of my dish drying area opposite the dish drainer. It's a great parking spot for just-washed vegetables, a draining pasta pot, etc., since it's so sturdy and heatproof.

I just wish it was possible to buy several silicone trivets separately, because I think they'd make perfect separators when stacking pots in the cupboard.

There are also reduced prices on other CS items, like the double-burner grill pan ($40 from $60, now available in turquoise as well as black and red) and the universal lid ($18 from $40). I bought the scissors set and use them every day--they're now $10 off. I'm trying to justify paying $50 for the big bamboo cutting board with measurements and cutting guides.

I'm hoping he brings back the big baking pans, which haven't shown up, although a smaller but useful trio (square, loaf, small sheet), are down to $30 from $40 and well reviewed.

I have 2 of his drying rack/trivets & love them. Was hoping it was his cookware set will check to see if any specials.

We have HSN outlet near us - stopped in today. Asked clerk if they had any CS items she said never he sells out & quality excellent. But we have lots Wolfgang & Joy ... no thanks.

Good to know, @noodleann. I have thought about getting that rack a few times.

It's on presale now on their site. I want the turquoise to go with my cookware set.

You can get two silicone Safe Grabs by Lori Grenier on QVC, H211059, if you just want large silicone trivets.

Thanks for the tip, @chessylady! I'd never have thought to look here. They look very similar. I may just get them.

@noodleann: Thanks for the info. Still paying for the cookie sheets and really love them. The lid holder is great. DH just made his delicious spaghetti sauce and I needed a large pan to cook pasta. Just ordered the 6 qt straining pot in red. Maybe some other time can order the drying rack. Any suggestions on how to clean and dry the rim of the cookie sheets to keep them from rusting and looking great? I appreciate all the great help and suggestions received from everyone. SouthernBee

Glad you're enjoying the Curtis Stone pans and helpers.

I don't have the big baking sheets, so I don't know anything about cleaning them. Hopefully someone who does will weigh in with some tips on preventing rust. There may be a trick to positioning them to drain.

I wound up getting two knives instead of the drying rack, but may still go back for the set of small baking pans.

I was making a big batch of breakfast potatoes tonight and thought with longing of his Chop Chop, which could have cut a 10-minute job down to 2.

I'm already looking forward to his November TS.

Well that stinks. I just got an email from HSN saying so sorry we cannot fill your order. I ordered the gray early in the day yesterday. I am very disappointed. Oh well, I have had the Surpahs one in my Amazon wishlist since someone recommended it last year. Virtually identical just no silicone trivet. A pox on HSN...

Anyone else get the so sorry email about the drying rack?

I have a drying rack from Amazon after reading about them here a long time ago. Love it. I still ordered the one from Curtis in white. I am not sure mine from Amazon could take a hot pan on it or go in the oven, etc. There wasn't much of a description on Amazon when I bought it. I love his items. Bought his cookie sheets and they are the best I've ever owned. Also have his three piece cook set in white and it is a true white, not cream. Been hard to find white items. I plan on buying more of his items. I assume he will have another TS before the end of the year or at least more shows. I like his personality too.

I ordered 2 yesterday, one blue early and one gray last night. I have not received any emails. Wow, I am surprised about the gray!

I was watching last night & really wanted a small frying pan so I went over to eBay to find one & just as I was going to buy they did the one day only on the 3 frying pans, that was good timing.

I have the baking pans, the long grilling pan & the large 14in pan with the lid, love them all oh 2 drying racks already, two more coming, they are so useful!

@ceekay, I'd call them back and tell them they're offering the grey one with the trivet on extended delivery right now (my info says delivery 9/14). It's $10 more, but it seems you bought then the TS was effective, so you should get the lower price. Good luck.

I bought the two samurai knives instead of the TS, and then last night saw that the better 8.5" knife, which normally goes for about $200 and had sold out, had 1 left. I clicked and up popped a "frenzy" discount of 50% off, so I grabbed it. I was unable to cancel my prior knife order at that point, and will probably keep the shorter knife and give the bigger one to a friend if I don't return it. There is no substitute for a good knife in the kitchen.

Thanks for the nudge to call CS @noodleann! They were very nice and said they did not understand why I got that email as they show over 1,000 in stock (I had noticed it was still available to order but at the higher price). So, she reordered it for me at the TS price and cancelled the original order. Fingers crossed! I still have my eye on the one on Amazon just in case... :-)
