@coffee drinker In the past Curtis offered some all stainless steel pans but the stainless steel pans your looking at on HSN do have the nonstick coating. I have the pans with the stone gray exterior & love them, they are the best set of cookware I've ever had. My set is almost 3 years old, get heavy use & looks brand new, cooks food evenly, never sticks & cleanup is easy. The name of Curtis Stone's line is Durapan so when your buying cookware look to see if it has the non stick interior, that will be the gray speckled coating. Hope this helps & promise, you will not be disappointed.

Another new fan of Curtis Stone pans.  One of the specials I got not long ago were cast aluminum and colored on the outside.  I know aluminum is one of the best conductors of heat.

Mine were the the Dura-Pan nonstick coating pans, dark gray speckled inside.  They cook, fry and clean up well.

Anyway, I LOVE them.  They are the ones I reach for now.  Won't buy anything else (non stick) after using these.  I got mine at HSN, waited for a deal, but you can find them on Amazon also.

I also highly recommend the Curtis Stone pans.  I have the cookie sheets, the recent pan with the lid that is a grill pan, and the three piece set.  Best pans I have ever used.

So, which C.S. pots and pans do you own?

Is the non stick  better than Copper Chef?

@EatWell-  Love them!  Don't have any Copper Chef pans to compare.

With all great reviews, I hope Curtis doesn't start "cheapening" his products like "some" chefs on other shopping channels.

Thank you!

Blue is my color too.   I think I’ll try the C.S. 14” Every Day Pan  and covered casserole when they come beck on sale again.

These are the pieces I have in white.  (it's a pure white, not ivory)   I don't own Copper Chef, but have seen it in stores.  I think Curtis Stone's items are more sturdy and the non-stick finish seems it would clean-up better.

I have a large set of his Cookware.   So far it;s good.  (pans that have been thrown out or returned:  Cooks Escentials, Wolf Gang, Todd English).  My last purchase of Cutis Sone was a bake sets of 3 pans.   Did chicken wings in one and cheese filled baked potatoes in the other.  OMG what a mess.  everything stuck.  soaked over night and used a nylon scrub brush on them.   Still not clean.  I thinks thy're are going to replace them.  ,

I am a longtime fan of Curtis' pots and pans but like shopped out and others who have commented on these boards, I have been a bit disappointed by his bakeware.  I roasted some vegs on a sheetpan and did not overbake them but did find some spots that required more than a wipe.  After hand-drying the sheetpan we noticed some black spots in the pan that looked like lost paint.  I think that the manufacturer needs to reassess the top color paint formulation or the process of its application to the bakeware.  Perhaps in the next run, only the exterior sides of the bakeware pieces should be painted.

I do have to say that my everyday pan and open stock frypans are going strong after 3 years.     Until I got used to the high heat, I admit I did scorch a pepper or two on the everyday pan yet there was never a need to scrub and never any damage to the finish.  So despite my issues with the bakeware I still think Curtis' cookware is the best non-stick cookware available -- it is certainly the best I ever have used!
