I really prefer that he recommends other pieces while he demonstrates because then I can understand what that item does in my cooking. I have a complete set of his cookware and some accessories and I love them. I really believe it is the best you can buy.
I enjoy Curtis Stone's presentations very much. He actually cooks and demonstrates all his pieces and how they work together. I like his cookware, quality for a fair price.
@TheMemphisVette - I agree, I actually sat and watched his 2 hr TSV presentation yesterday on HSN with host Callie Northagen, she kept touching his arm maybe she thinks so too, lol
I agree--and not a fan of Helen at all but I just mute him---I have his cookware which is great and always check when he has the TSV, but can't watch for long.
