Where to buy Cooks Essentials hard anodized set?

Any idea? Cooks Essentials and ultrex were the best

Thanks

@Midmod CE is a QVC proprietory brand, so I'd guess it's only on QVC you can find it...if they still sell it.

I have one piece (a Dutch oven) left from a 3 piece set my mom bought for me years ago. The two others I loved were sautee' pans but this year I went through all my pans and anything, especially with non-stick coating, that was pitted or scratched got tossed. And I have two other CE non-stick sautee pans I had never used, so I figured it was time to swap out.

Their Hard Annodized line was very nice.

Unless there's any on Ebay...I'm guessing it's only sold on QVC.

I'm not familiar with Ultrex.

@Midmod I see it's also offered on Amazon.

Correction: I spoke too soon. There are some products by Cooks Essentials on Amazon but I didn't see any cookware.

@Midmod - I'll bet they'll have new configurations in the next couple of months as the new year gets underway and they start the "spring cleaning" and "update your routine" spiels. So just keep an eye out—hard anodized options may be available soon...

Hope so. I'm not impressed with the CE aluminum offered

CE hard anodized was Technique and was discontinued years ago. I still have some and it looks almost new. Ultrex was HSN brand and faced more than one false advertising law suit.

Just a suggestion but I love HSN Curtis Stone's DuraPan cookware. Great stuff and not high cost- Many, many good reviews, not just me! HTH.

Agree! I absolutely love all my durapans. Some are many years old used everyday and are like new. Nothing sticks.

I bought his large set and added pieces. Best investment I did before the big price increases.

I hand wash although I think they can go in dishwasher.

I wish he'd come out with new selections, I'd like small saucepan.

Thanks for the Durapan recommend! I'll look into it.

@Midmod

The Curtis Stone durapans sets imo have gotten overpriced as well as single items.

I would suggest if not in a hurry to see when he will be on HSN again. They usually have free shipping and better prices on the sets when he's on.

Just a suggestion.

@Midmod Maybe Ebay, it's worth checking out.

Agree, Curtis Stone DuraPan prices used to be great, not anymore... But I see some DuraPan sets on Overstock though. Check there- I also wish he would bring more pieces, and the prior pricing... Now he focuses on selling food products. 🙄 I buy my food at the market, not from TV.

If you have a Costco membership, they have a very nice hard anodized set of pots that are fairly priced. I bought a set over 20 years ago there, and they are still like new and I do a lot of cooking. Non-stick is good, no issues with peeling or food sticking. The newer pots now have a glass lid. My set has the stainless steel tops with no glass. And they often have it for a reduced price in their monthly discount book, if you can wait to buy it.

Try eBay and Mercari websites. Also Poshmark

We get a barrage of non-stick cookware ads. Most are plain aluminum with a new color. Today it was Emerald Green. Even that big copper craze of a few years ago was really just aluminum. Hard anodized must be too expensive to produce. It's also heavier, but I wish QVC would bring it back.

@Midmod

FYI

Curtis Stone is the TS on HSN for Saturday. I don't know what TS will be but I'm sure they'll be offering his durapans cookware sets on sale.

Maybe check HSN for any offers.

@Midmod - Just thought I'd return with a quick update: On last Sunday's ITKWD, they introduced a new Cook's Essentials hard anodized saute pan, so it's possible more hard anodized options may be coming soon...
