I personally prefer the G by Giuliana Black Label Faux Leather Moto Jacket 859-527., but either will look very nice.

@karen16, yes, yes! HSN keeps sending us surveys, claiming it wants our valuable feedback, but how about reading these comments? You (HSN) pay for this “Community,” and we are giving you advice. How about reading it and acting on it?!
I’ve been sending this same feedback since I started shopping here, 15-plus years ago! I eventually gave up because … no changes!
Okay, if it’s too hard logistically to pull different sizes for the models for each showing because the garments run small or large in the model’s usual size, then how about letting us know what size the model usually wears and what size the (too small, too tight, or looks great) garment is that she’s wearing? Now, THAT would be valuable because we’d know to size up or size down or order true-to-size.
Does HSN think that size transparency will turn us off? Nah … really: What turns us off quite a lot more is lack of size and fit information, receiving ill-fitting merchandise, having to return or exchange, and looking at models who (through no fault of their own) look terrible in the items HSN is trying to sell us!

Thanks for this thread! I posted an inquiry on the Customer Service thread about a week ago, but HSN did not respond. I noticed this thread earlier today and ordered!

CSPMU, I agree with you.

You’ll need to Google Skinn’s Foot Fetish Balm to see if it’s available anywhere.
Skinn’s “Foot and Heel Balm” is available here at HSN.com, sold with the foot scrub. The Foot and Heel Balm is also for sale at the Skinn website.

Thank you, @pipman. Thoughtful of you to post this.

Hi, Pamlou and Skingirl13,
I look at the garment measurements and the description to try to figure out what size to get, but sometimes that’s not enough info. My biggest beef about online shopping is the hosts and vendors who do not address size and fit and offer more specific help. I need to know what size the models usually wear and what size they are wearing in the specific item they are selling. We need this info with shoes, too. It bothers me that I’m trying to give a company my money, and the company is not helping me decide what size! (Jeez, Online Shopping 101, HSN!)For this TS item, if I were you, Pamlou, I’d get the M/L. The host Sarah is in the XS/S (I believe I heard her say that in the video) and I think it’s very large on her. Description says “generously sized and loose fitting,” and the measurements seem very generous to me. Take a look, and see what you think. In the video, I think it looks big on everyone.
P.S. Depending where you live, this 100% polyester top (double-layer woven satin) could be hot as blazes 🔥 this summer!
Good luck with your decision!

@singingbelle, you are right. You do have to unplug the Curtis Stone Mini Multicooker to “stop” it or to switch to another mode. There is not an “Off” switch. To me, it’s the same as turning off or lowering the heat under a pot on the stove. (I am in the habit of constantly watching something that’s cooking or baking.) So, you are not trapped, having to wait for it to complete a cycle.
What I prefer about the CS multicooker versus the stovetop is the small cooking pot for one or two, how lightweight it is, and the easy cleanup.. I’m experimenting with each setting and, like you, would like to know how each setting differs in heat intensity and cooking time. (It would be very helpful if that information were included in the presentations.)
Also, how long pasta needs to cook depends on its shape, thickness, if you prefer al dente, etc. Lots of variables when cooking, so I think there’s a definite learning curve, but I’m personally enjoying this “downsized” cooking experience.

Oh, please don’t worry about sounding crazy! I’m the one who had to call Curtis Stone Customer Service for help about how to take the heat shield off, haha.
When you ask “Do I make the whole box and then only use that amount?” what does “make the whole box” mean, and what does “only use that amount” mean?
While I haven’t made the Pineapple Upside Down cake recipe, I understand the directions to mean that you open a box of yellow cake mix, and take out (measure) 1-1/4 cups of the mix that you will then use in the recipe; I’d treat the yellow cake mix as if were 1-1/4 cups of flour from a bag of flour. Then follow the recipe by adding the other ingredients listed in the recipe, whatever they are.
I hope that helps. -
Hi @hsn_melitza
Thanks for your fast response. Yes, I have those same directions, but I’ve got some good news! I called Curtis Stone Customer Service this morning, and the rep answered quickly. With her on the phone, I pulled the white silicon circle (that surrounds the center plug) forward (it requires some force), and the heat shield popped off. Yay!I might be the only one in the world who had trouble interpreting the directions and illustration, but I’m glad the shield is now washed and reinserted, and I’m ready to use this cooker!
Also, FYI for other Curtis Stone Mini Multi-Cooker buyers, the rep confirmed that they’re having issues with the online warranty registration system, so we are to hold on to our invoices/receipts. I tried to register mine online last night, but it wouldn’t accept the date of purchase. (I tried different dates to troubleshoot, but it wouldn’t accept any, so my registration attempts failed.)
Thanks again for your reply!

@sheba2011, you are such a doll! So helpful! I called Curtis Stone Customer Service this morning, and the rep answered quickly. With her on the phone, I pulled the white silicon circle (that surrounds the center plug) forward (it required some force), and the heat shield popped off. YAY! I came back here to post this and found your sweet message with the pic! 🙂
Also, FYI for other Curtis Stone Mini Multi-Cooker buyers, the rep said they’re having issues with the online warranty registration system, so we are to hold on to our invoices/receipts.
Happy May to you, too, Sheba! I hope all is well with you and your family. And thanks very much for your message. It’s always so nice to reconnect with you here.

@sunshine, that particular recipe could be in Curtis Stone’s now sold-out multi cooker cookbook:
“Curtis Stone Dura-Pan Multi Cooker Cookbook
Item 746-170”
You might try searching online for “Curtis Stone gelatin dessert” and also “Foodferret Curtis Stone gelatin dessert.” Hope you find it. (It sounds delicious and pretty, too.) -
Hi, mytime,
I saw a thread today in the Community that the 5 Essentials Creme is back in stock. I’m disappointed that HSN did not respond to this inquiry here on the Customer Service thread, but glad I happened to see that it’s back in stock. Good price, too! -
BEWBEE, lol! Yes, Lynn is goofy! She’d probably be the first one to agree, though! She has a good sense of humor. She does get confused frequently and also knocks things over a lot. She also says “on the day,” which I confess I do not understand. But, even at her goofiest, she is adorable and has a great figure and looks good in EVERYTHING!

Hi there, @sheba2011! I think of you every time I pull out a (still-in-great-shape!) SS item (black yoga pants, “Girlfriend” sweater-dusters, neck “shrugs,” hats, etc.), and I’m wearing her organic foundation — I keep it in stock! I pop in here to check on our Heidi Daus and your beautiful thread. Take good care! XXOO to you!
