I don't use all thoes pockets, but I do use some. I slide my 2 8" skillets inside the two pockets on the inside front, I put my large SA round platter in the front pocket (i make a lot of microwave cakes) I slide all my cookbooks in the side pocket on the outside and my mandoline base on the other side pocket. The back(where the handle is) I put my cutting board, lg bar pan and cooling rack. Then all my bowls sit in the large open part. I also have the tote that sits on the top, so I have a lot in that too - spices, measuring cups, knives, tool turn about tote.
It isn't a video, but hope it helps!

I used to use mine all the time. But here lately it seems that everyone has gravel driveways and sidewalks that are gravel or riverrock and the thing doesn't roll so easily when it's full on gravel. I loved it when I used it though. Now I mostly just use the consultant tote because I've been trying to take less to shows.
but........I also never saw the video and don't think I use it as effectively as I could.

Re: Kristina is an ANGEL!!
My sweet Kristina is modest! I have been wanting this tote FOREVER, but wasn't sure if I should wait for a way to earn it. Yes, I'm cheap! lol She's right, I do need it because of my RA and fibro...I finally decided to bite the cost and buy one on my next supply order.
When all of a sudden, PC made a mistake and sent her a SECOND tote. They offered it to her at a great discount, and Kristina quickly thought of me. She not only asked them to give her a BIGGER discount, she asked if they would allow me to purchase the tote with my PCD!!! On top of that the s&h was waived too! Kristina is AMAZING and KIND! I was soooo touched that she thought of me, and went to bat for me!
God is good, and I am blessed to have such sweet people around me. I know it was a gift from above, and that HE allowed me to have this tote I needed at a price that would appease my thrifty nature! :blushing: I know this isn't about packing a rolling tote, but I thought Kristina deserved the recognition and kudos for her thoughtfulness. I LOVE my tote, used it for my show on Saturday. I was SO pumped because of Kristina and PC's gesture for me to get the tote, that it showed! I bragged about how my teammates look out to help each other and that PC takes care of its own, that I have a lady who wants to join! Whoo Hoo
So, Kristina....THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! As I told you earlier, I pray that GOD rewards your action and your beautiful spirit :angel: and blesses you daily. I pray that HE grants you your heart's desire. And I pray that you realize how much your gesture touched me, and that you know what a BEAUTIFUL woman you are - inside and out!

Frequently Asked Questions
What items should I include in my rolling tote for a Pampered Chef party?
When packing your rolling tote for a Pampered Chef party, include essential items such as your product catalog, order forms, business cards, and a mobile payment system. Additionally, pack your most popular kitchen tools, samples of food products, and any promotional materials or brochures that highlight your offerings.
How can I organize my rolling tote for easy access during events?
To organize your rolling tote effectively, use small bins or pouches to categorize items. For example, keep all your cooking tools in one section, your paperwork in another, and samples in a separate pouch. Label each compartment for quick identification, and place frequently used items at the top or in easily accessible pockets.
What are some tips for maximizing space in my rolling tote?
Maximize space in your rolling tote by using packing cubes or compression bags to reduce the volume of soft items. Roll clothing or fabric items instead of folding them to save space. Additionally, utilize every nook and cranny, such as inside pots or larger items, to store smaller tools or accessories.
How can I ensure my rolling tote is easy to transport?
To make your rolling tote easy to transport, choose a model with sturdy wheels and a comfortable handle. Distribute weight evenly to prevent tipping, and avoid overpacking to keep it manageable. Consider using a tote with additional straps or a backpack option for versatility when navigating crowded spaces.
What should I do if my rolling tote gets damaged while traveling?
If your rolling tote gets damaged while traveling, assess the extent of the damage first. If it’s a minor issue, such as a broken zipper, you may be able to repair it yourself. For more significant damage, check if the manufacturer offers a warranty or repair service. Always keep your receipt and any warranty information handy for such situations.
