Curtis Stone Bakeware

MKR14 — Wed, 03 Apr 2019 18:50:02 GMT

I just received my Curtis Stone Dura-Bake® Trio Pan with Inserts from HSN. It is beautiful. The item number is 625-482. I got it on sale plus I had just received a $10.00 off next purchase from HSN so it was a great deal.

It is much larger than I thought but having three sections to make different things will be great for holiday baking. Mac and cheese and brownies and breads can all be made differently. I bought the turquoise.

I have his cookware set as well as all of his bakeware sets. I have been so pleased with the nonstick and quality of all his items.

My niece does a fair amount of baking for her family. By now, I think I've gifted her all of Curtis' bakeware items. His bakeware is awesome! I've bought her the red. I use his "everyday pan". And it's appropriately named. I use it, maybe not every day, but I use it a great deal. Such easy cleanup on his products.

The only thing I have purchased from his line are the sheets pans. I have four of them.

They are pure junk. They are discolored, peeling and everything sticks. I still use them for cooking wings and spare ribs covering them with aluminum foil first.

I bought it last time he was on. When I got it I was surprised that it was as big as it is. He makes them look smaller because he is 6 ft. 4 in. and built big, not fat. LOL

I love mine, I've made lasagna, meatloafs, and brownies. I like to make enough at a time to freeze some for days that I don't have the energy to cook. I have a ton of his cookware and love every bit of it, the cleanup is a breeze. I am waiting for an air fryer with that coating.

I watch all his presentations, I love the way he talks and he sure is a big piece of eye candy.

I love his products. I have some cookware and bakeware and it is of great quality. Much better than others I've tried. I use it all the time. I was surprised that someone called it "junk". Not in my opinion, I've had nothing but good results with mine. You want "junk" buy Temptations!

@Carmie : Totally agree. I was so fed up with the CE bakeware that rusted and warped, I take extra care of anything I purchase. Really excited about CS cookie sheets. I purchased 6 for me and for my friend that bakes a lot for her church. I took extra care with cleaning and cooking with the recommended temperature. Everyone of mine warped. Also very upsetting to hear that loud pop in the oven like an explosive. All this happened after the return date expired. At first my friend said she had no issue with hers but recently said that all of hers had warped. So sad because initially they were beautiful and everything just slid off the cookie sheet and no burnt spots. Just purchased USA pans to try. Southern Bee

@cajun3mama I was shocked at the size also but it is a great pan. I will probably use this more at holiday time but it is a great deal for the size. I do agree that I like to make and freeze ahead also so I can just grab something and heat and eat. My husband is more of meat and potatoes eater and I am more of a casserole person so that works for us.

I have had Curtis cookware and bakeware for several years and never had any problem with warping etc. I certainly would be disappointed if that happens in the future.

I also love to watch all his shows as he is not out to just sell his products but believes in helping all of us cooks. He does stand behind his products and they usually have a 1 year warranty.

@SouthernBee you are describing what happened to my bake sheets to a t. Mine are now embarrassing ugly.

I also bought 2 USA cookie sheets in the large size. So far no problems with them. I also have USA hamburger bun pans. I have used them for years and they still look like new.

i hope to replace all of my bakeware with the USA brand.

@Carmie : Thank you - I state things as they are. I do have the CS pasta pan and the lid holder and love both items and use them often but really upset and disappointed with the cookie sheets. I am in the process of purchasing more USA pans and hope to purchase something next month especially when I receive coupons from BBB. Southern Bee

@SouthernBee My bun pans came from King Arthur, and the cookies sheets were from Amazon. I will have to check out BBB. I usually just toss the coupons away. Next time, I will see if I can get some pans on sale. I need two round cake pans.

Im bummed to see some of the complaints of Curtis's bakeware, not just this thread but from threads during other CS visits also. It has to be the manufacturing because I dont believe any of the bakers here would have abused them. I am still using my Cooks Escientials from very early on when they started on the Q and still holding up just like the day I bought them. One is like an air bake (remember those) cookie sheet and the other a tad bigger with 3/4 in. high sides all around. I dont know, what do you call it, a sheet cake pan, I have used it for everything, mostly roasting vegies. Id say they are probably 20 yrs old. I could use some round cake pans and maybe loaf pans but have been hesitant to purchase CS due to quite a fews poor reviews on the bakeware.

Now his 4 quart multi-function pan w/ grill lid is AWESOME!! I have only had it maybe 6 months and between the pan and the grill they are the only thing I have used since. I got the steamer insert and have a nice glass lid that fits all of it, I love and really recommend these pieces. I even bought duos and steamer inserts for the gift closet one for a graduation new apartment set up and one for a wedding gift, both coming up this summer. Now, I wish he would come up w/ a set of 3 saucepans w/ the helper handles like on the multi function pan and grill. I really dislike the long handles on pans.

I like watching Curtis because he actually cooks, and wow does he look good doing it! I agree, he IS one big ol piece of eye candy...and so sweet.

@Carmie : Love the BBB coupons and some of them can be used online, especially great when an item is not available in the local store and I usually purchase enough to get the free shipping. Southern Bee

Thank you @SouthernBee & @Carmie for the heads up on the USA brand bakeware, I will check them out for the rounds and loafs.

Don't toss BBB coupons. They accept them after the expiration date.

I have the Curtis Stone baking sheets--must be 2 or 3 years. They have not warped or stained. I wonder if it is the newer sheets in the colors that are not made as well? I also still have some Cooks Essentials layer cake pans, muffin pan, pizza pan with sides, etc. In great condition. I bought them when the quality was quite good. Would not buy Cooks Essentials today.

Re: Curtis Stone Bakeware

SharkE — Thu, 04 Apr 2019 20:23:30 GMT

I love USA stuff from Bed & bath. Virtually no clean up. pizza slides off pan,

loaves drop out of loaf pans, etc. Got 2 round cake pans hardly ever

make a 2 layer cake unless it's for church social or something. B'day present, etc.

Get what you pay for. They're not like real expensive. Just more then the cheap stuff at walmart. They're good to water the dog out of

ROFLMAO

You probably don't want to see the coupons I toss. I get $10 certificates for JC Penny's, and a shoe store, DSW, Talbots, Victorias Secret, and even LL Bean.

If I don't want or need anything, I throw them out.
