My friend says curtis stone cookware is the best. If I had been shopping for cookware today I would have purchased his set.

I also heard and read on these boards his cookware is great. If his steaks are good they are probably worth that price. I only order meat from Burgers Steak house.

I have had many lines of cookware through the years, and I definitely rate his as the best. I do not purchase food from TV so I cannot comment on his line of meat. I wish he would bring in more items in white--his air fryer, for example. Black or red do not match my kitchen items. His presentations are very relaxed and enjoyable to watch.

I like his cookware but I don't order food from any shopping channels.

I am seriously considering this massive cookware set, although I don't really need cookware. I might break up the set and give some away as gifts. I want it for the crepe pan, small pot, oval crockpot, and Dura-bake pans. I have many of his kitchen gadgets and food prep items, and am pleased with all of them. Curtis can really sell ice to a polar bear.

I ablsoutely LOVE his cookware - never buy food online and I think most of the food items (not just his) are way over priced. I love it so much I acutally buy things I don't really need and have never regretted one item, Even the items I did not need get used regularly and all his items look like new no matter how long I've had them. It truly is top quality cookware. If you buy a set thinking you will give part of it away, you will likely never want to part with even one piece. All this from someone who does not even like to cook, but I like it better if I am using his cookware.

I am too scared to buy his cookware. I have 4 pieces of his bakeware and it is JUNK. I have posted pictures of it on here before. Here it is again. He is offering these baking sheets again today along with the cookware as a combo.

The first time I used it to bake cookies it stained.hand washed and the finish peels off.

It's good to know someone else also buys more Curtis Stone cookware than they really need like I do; I also love it. It really is the best nonstick cookware I've ever used. I came this close to getting the TS, but I already have the 2 quart pot and the full size baking sheet. What I really wanted was the 4 quart stock pot and the .6 quart pot; I have both of these unusual sizes in Wolfgang Puck's stainless steel cookware and use them often.

I hope Curtis offers them as open stock pieces later, as sometimes happens with his TS cookware sets. I did order the new 3-piece small bakeware set to use in my Kitchenaid countertop oven. It's not easy to find cookware that fits.

My first Curtis Stone purchase was his multi-purpose pan. Fantastic non-stick. Now my entire kitchen is Curtis Stone. Have had no problem with the cookware or bakeware. I have the cookie sheets in gray and use them constantly. No stains, no sticking. The best cookware on the market, in my opinion!

You are probably right! I will most likely end up adding them into regular rotation with my Analon pans. They are phenomenal as well. I reserve my Wolfgang's stainless steel pans for special occasion cooking. Thanks for the info! I am going to buy it now.😁

Wow! I just purchased the TSV on HSN because I wanted some of the pots and the baking pans. I am sorry to see that you had a bad experience, and am hoping since these are newer, this issue has been remedied. Those photos are quite distressing.

He is presenting a bread machine. I had one just like that back in the 80's. They are fun you put ingredients and you have fresh bread. I think it took 3 and a half hours. I have not seen a bread machine in years. Maybe they are coming back. I will check Walmart because I know if they have them they will be cheaper.

Sandy Sparkles, I wouldn't worry about the cookware set. The interior of the cookware vs the bakeware is not exactly the same. Here's what the specifications say -

Interior: Dura-Pan nonstick; Dura-Bake nonstick (sheet pans)

One plus you might not have noticed -The exterior of the cookware is silicone paint, so soaking or scrubbing any drips isn't necessary. (I had the cookware for a couple of years at least before I saw this in the description. I was always amazed at how easy it was to clean the outside, and always wondered why. I don't know if this is ever mentioned during the presentations, but it really should be.

@Carmie : Same thing happened to me. My three sets were junk but thankfully the sets that I sent a best friend are still good. Sharke recommendated the USA Pans and they are great but I carefully hand wash them and dry them. Southern Bee

Carmie — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 15:56:17 GMT

@SouthernBee I have USA pans too. They are wonderful. I do a lot of cooking and baking and I can honestly say most cookware and bakeware is junk. It doesn't last long in my home.

My USA bakeware, my Revere Ware pans that I have been using for 46 years, and my Dayton water broiler pan are workhorses in my kitchen and have held up well and look like new even after years of use.

@Havarti I love his cookware too. The last set of his I bought had large pieces. Even though I only cook for myself I'm using them a lot. I love the pan with the "flat" steamer and cover. It seems steaming vegetables in one level (not having them piled on each other) makes for fast steaming and good flavor. I would be interested in his air fryer oven if it came in white. A lot of his items only are in red and black and those colors don't work for me.

Re: CURTIS STONE

Daysdee — Sun, 03 Nov 2019 23:25:02 GMT

I have had his cookie sheets for over 2 years and they are used quite a bit. Still like new and no sticking. Mine are the gray speckled. It seems most of the problems are with those that were in solid colors.

Maybe my memory isn't so good, but I sort of remember before HSN and QVC were part of the same company, whenever Curtis was the featured chef with the TS, most if not all of the products he showed had free shipping. Some are, but not all.

I have purchased a few of his pans and really enjoy cooking in them. Clean up is as easy as he says. One item this weekend that called to me was his air fryer/toaster oven, etc. The interior of the oven was made of the same material as his cookware. Dura bake I think it's called. It would be nice to have this kind of product looking nice and clean instead of cruddy like the interior of my Breville toaster oven. Just can't keep it that clean. The oven is great, though.

What really got me with Curtis' food was the pork tenderloins. 2-1.5 lbs. tenderloins and a side of scalloped potatoes for $60, free shipping. HA!!! Thought I was hearing things. You can get 2 tenderloins for under $10 around here (CT).
