Curtis Stone - TS on HSN

Wow! What a great value (2 pans) considering I paid $59 for his 12" many years ago which is still going strong.

The TS is a great deal.. I have so many things from Curtis Stone, and I do not need anything. Everything I have is great quality and they seem to be lasting forever,

I ordered it in black already. I have never tried his pans and love the bigger one that has a wok shape to it. I need that shape of pan and the other is just a bonus. Love that the lid fits on both pans. I did try his bakeware several years ago and sadly had to return. He said his would never do that big "pop" sound in the oven but mine did. I felt the price was too high for what was promised. Hopefully his fry pans are much better.

Last night the item with the TS marker wasn't the pans, it was the hamburgers marked "Smart Deal." Maybe their presale figures showed it wasn't going to do well as a TS.

The TS pans are a good deal if they're like my CS pans, but if you already have things like it, I'll draw your attention to his 4-piece square saute set for $54.95. To me, this is an everything pan. I use it almost every day. It has a steamer inset, glass lid, and rack that I haven't yet used. The pan is 4-1/8" high, which helps it overcome the one problem I have with the shallower pans, and that is things running down the outside and discoloring the paint. Because of this, I'm only buying his cookware in black now.

That said, if you need the two pans in the TS, it's a good deal.

I am ordering a set!! We have two of the fry pans that are getting old. My husband has cut meat in them! Not happy! So I am going to replace them. Our set must be about 10 years old. They wash up like a dream. This time he will be told no cutting in the pan!!

What a great deal.

I had bought a set of Curtis Stone pans with no lids for $20 more. And the pans didn't even match in color. But by the time I opened the package it was too late to return.

Wish I had waited.

@noodleann Thank you for suggesting the 4 piece square pan set. I ordered it in the black. I have many pans but nothing like this. I love that it comes with the steamer insert. I see they also have two baskets you can purchase. Thinking about that too.

I love Curtis Stones pans! I have several of his pieces and they are all like new. I reach for them all the time. Especially that 2 qt jug sauce pan, that thing is constantly on my stove. It fits perfectly on that little burner in the back of the stove and I use it for more than I thought I would! I was thinking of buying another one actually.

I bought the first set of fry pans that had that locking feature on the hand handle , a few years ago, maybe 3 or 4yrs---they are the fry pans so not as deep as this new set. but I use those things nearly everyday and still---the nonstick is great----- I really do like the depth of these new ones but have enough of CS cookware for awhile--but still love to watch him!!!!

I love his items but I wish he would make a few pans that had a stainless steel exterior. I love the Durapan inside but sometimes, the outside gets stains that are so hard to remove.

I agree with you, and he did have some with a shiny stainless exterior. Some were marketed under the name of DuraDiamond. One was an 8-quart stockpot that HSN had on clearance for ages. I got one for myself and a couple as gifts. I also have both depths of his 14" multi-purpose pan, which also has a stainless exterior. Last, I have a 3-piece set with stainless exterior, which includes an 11" frying pan plus a 2.5-quart saucepan and 5 -quart stockpot, both with glass lids. The multi-purpose ("everything") pan sometimes reappears on HSN, but the others are no longer available.

I was not going to order but I like the deeper pan so I decided to take out the cc and get the 40.00 credit for next month. I will pay off the credit card since I didn't really want a credit card. I think its a win win.

I can probably sell the 11 inch and use my own 11 inch. I'm excited to get it.

I love the products.

I am slowly thinking about ordering. I have most of his cookware -- just can't justify but the price is so good it's hard to say no🤷‍♀️🙄
