Curtis Stone Dura-Pans bubble and peel – Don't buy!
I purchased the Curtis Stone Dura-Pan Nonstick 4-Quart Multi-Function Pan w/Grill Lid from HSN 2 years ago. Three months ago I threw out my old nonstick fry pan and started using this. I LOVED this pan!! Nothing stuck to it, nice searing and super easy cleanup. Literally, I could wipe it clean with no soap or water! Last night as I was drying it, I noticed little tiny bubbles on the bottom of the pan. Did some research online and this seems to happen regularly after 6 months of use. Contacted HSN & the warranty folks for the pan and was told that 1) it’s out of warranty so no replacement, and 2) there has been no factory defect recall so I’m just out of luck. Others have said over time the bubbles chip off — so, this is going in the food??!! Shame on you Curtis! I’ll never buy another Curtis Stone product.

These baking pans are absolute garbage. I bought two sets because i cook and bake for the people in an adult foster care home.. i always loved the Cutis stone brand frying pans but the bakeware is trash and hsn is fully aware. These pans started peeling little flakes of the coating off. I cant in good conscience use these so i threw them out. When i called HSN to complain they dismissed me and saif no one else had any compliaintscand it was too late to return since it was over 30 days. Surely Cutis Stone knows these pans have a problem. How much money is enough money for him thst he allows this? Doesnt anyone care??

I think his cookware is a rip off. I have had the sheet pans buckle in a 350 oven. He does not say to cook on medium heat. I bought one pan that he was making popcorn in, it was a wok looking thing. The non-stick went south in a hurry when I made popcorn in it. I bought a whole set and gave it as a present. Yup, it is a peeling, unhealthy mess. This is a big problem. He is getting rich selling us . I tell everyone I know not to buy this cookware.

I had a word that had to be removed. It was c r a p.

I bought my three pan set around 3-4 yrs ago and they were great….at first. I wouldn’t even donate these pans because I would be embarrassed…that’s how bad they get after a couple of years and I’ve NEVER had a problem with cookware like this in the past. For those who love this cookware, go for it. Me, I’ll not be wasting my money on them again.

I have several of Curtis Stone pans…the large deep rounds with handles on both sides do NOT hold up at all…at first they are OK but now everything sticks horribly and they scratch…sad to have bought them…a year is definitely not a long enuf warranty

I won’t buy any celebrity cookware anymore. I bought some once, and I threw them out 6 months later. Besides, when I see professional chefs cooking on TV they are using stainless steel or cast iron. Several years ago I bought stainless steel pots and pans and have never looked back. I also bought a cast iron pan. Occasionally I will see a good quality non stick pan being used.

sheetpans are super heavy! buckled , burned and stained using one time. Threw them out …too expensive to ship back….I do not trust any of his products

I wish Curtis would address some of these issues when he’s at HSN or that HSN would let him address them here. I have numerous skillets and pans and except for a few scratches, mine are fine after a year or two. I do always use a thin coat of oil and find medium heat works well and everything browns well. HOWEVER, his sheet pans are a different story. They do buckle and pop and food sticks badly at 400 degrees. If there are things we shouldn’t be doing or using (like lemon based detergent) please tell us. I DO know better than to use sprays like PAM. A few drops of oil are easier and cheaper than sprays anyway.

Same I saw bubbles and I realized does bubbles go in my food when cooking turns out it does I saw bubbles in MY FOOD I threw it out today very disappointing

I don’t have any experience with the CS line, but the best bakeware I have ever used is the Analon nonstick. It’s a little pricey, but it’s so worth it.

I purchased the entire set about two years ago and this past week I’ve had to throw away to pots because of peeling. I don’t want that in my food when cooking. The same thing happened with another celebrity chef’s set I had.

Very unfair that HSN continues to endorse Curtis’ products. They are defective! The sheet pans I bought warped at 400 degrees. BUY USA SHEET PANS! B & Bath & Beyond has them & you can use a coupon. They are the best!

I just purchased Curtis Stone’s 3 skilled set. I used the small one this morning and the eggg stuck awfully. Was I supposed to do something to the pan to keep it from sticking? Please respond Io this. I am going to send them back if it continues

I was told by daughter not to use lemon scented dish washing soap on non stick pans-it wears off the finish as well as the non-stick surface.
Plus -always have food or a little oil in the pan before heating.-
This issue is due to what is used in the dish soap manufacture – and is not unique to lemon-scented soaps. We shifted to Dawn liquid dish soaps years ago for dish handwashing – it’s used to wash baby animals by the HSUS and other animal-welfare groups. (If you’ve seen the commercial of the accidentally-oiled ducklings, that is real – and therefore hard data.) We use the same Dawn for handwashing clothing as well. If care must be taken with washing ANYTHING – and you must wash it by hand – break out the Darn – it hasn’t steered US wrong – or the HSUS and ASPCA, either.

I bought his big cookie sheet/jelly roll pans. Stained & buckled at 400 degress. Can’t believe HSN is selling this productl IT’S DEFECTIVE. Tons of others reviews are the same. I just replaced them today w/ Usa pans. His are going in the garbage.

Buckled at 400 degrees? NO baking sheet should buckle at that temperature! Have you had the thermostat of the OVEN checked – especially if the problem is repeatable? (Thermostats of ovens DO go bad over time; our current oven has, in fact, had its thermostat replaced twice – and it came with the house – which is barely twenty years old.) If you have issues with cookware OR bakeware buckling – regardless of brand – have the thermostat itself checked – especially if the oven is still under warranty.

So far I’ve bought his 3 quart jug pan, 14” multi-purpose pan, his silicone utensils and small fry pan. I use them quite a lot and so far I haven’t had a problem. Fingers crossed.
