pchockeymom said:I am very excited about the 11" ceramic skillet and think it will be a big seller. However, I took mini-catalogs to the gym this morning and the cutting board got the biggest oooh, aaahs. And the beverage bag!
Brenda.the.chef said:I'm in love with the new Seasons Best too! I'm excited about the two new green knives and that cutting board. I love the tangerine color too. I wasn't crazy about it when I saw pictures, but when I opened my tote bag at conference, I fell in love with the color. I'm not sure about the roaster yet. I will probably buy it as a sample, but I'm hoping it's not going to just be a one-hit wonder. What else would ya'll use it for?
Brenda.the.chef said:What does everyone think about those drink savers? Those things that fit over soda cans? I'm at a loss for words on those....aside from not excited at all about them.

baychef said:I like the bevs bag. I think it will be a hit as we get closer to the holidays. Am looking forward to seeing if HO comes up with some great tips on how to decorate them up for hosts.
Not seeing these as a run away seller but my first concern is...can you still break the seal and recycle the can? The machines need to read the bar code.
LOVE the new Season's best! Will probably have more favs once I get them in my hands!

Intrepid_Chef said:I love the white cookware and that it appeals to a whole new market we weren't able to reach previously. I wish there was a longer guarantee, though. I think people will assume the quality is not as good because it's not guaranteed for life.
I want the kitchen scale (I tried to use the old broken one in my house last week to divide a large container of meat I was freezing) and the roasting pan for my kitchen, but don't see myself using either for shows, unless they provide us with some quick recipes. I hope they do. I think the roasting pan will appeal to all those stoneware customers who have been clamoring for us to bring back the baker with a lid that doubled as a second baker.
I think the orange and white will be a big seller in my local area, where the school colors are orange and white.
Head scratchers:
Bamboo bowls ... hate the color, and I never really did get the concept in the first place.
The beverage bags look like something you'd get in a dollar store. Very disposable.
The can covers ... don't quite get those, nor do I understand what they'd have to do with recycling.
I like the green knives and the new rubs.
In all, I could do some serious damage to my budget ....
babywings76 said:I know! I thought the same thing. I was so confused when people were talking about that. But then I saw the DVD and I think I get it now. They show that to take those things off, you have to squeeze the can. I guess when you crush a can it makes it hard for recycling centers to scan the barcode that is on them in order to get you the deposit?
lt1jane said:This means I can weigh some of my heavier baking dishes before anything goes in them and weigh them after they are full to better control portions...
chefjeanine said:Jane, thanks for the updates on the products you've received.
I believe that our new scale (mine hasn't arrived yet) is like the one I have. You should be able to put your plate/bowl on it and zero out the weight -- then the scale is only weighing what is on your plate. Limits the amount of math you have to do.
SpiritdancerIA said:In Iowa, most of the deposit redemption centers have gone over to automated machines, instead of a person counting up your bottles/cans & then sorting them into bins to go on to recycling. With the automated machines, the can/bottle is pulled in, then spun around to have the barcode scanned (it's usually on the side of the can or bottle). Dented or crushed cans can't be read, and get kicked out (generally the same thing if it's a product not sold at the store where you are returning the cans). If you are lucky, there is an attendant who can get you credit for cans the machine rejects. If not, you are out of luck.
Congrats on your first post, and welcome to CS!I received the items I ordered yesterday--I love the new Coquette (?). It is a nice size and should clean easily---very cute. I made some dip with the Smoked Red Pepper, nice little kick, and you can definitely taste/smell the smokiness (how do they do that, anyway?). I love the tangerine scraper (much better than the pink one from HWC this spring). I think the new cutting board isn't what I was expecting--I always show the LGCB as my favorite at shows and hoped I'd be able to sell this one now, we'll see after I use it a few times. I REALLY LOVE the Shimmering Glass Platter. I can see using this A LOT to put items on at shows that I make. I hope to sell lots!!Lisa's Kitchen said:This is my first post so hooray for me!!! I was at my first ever Fall Launch in Baltimore, MD. and I was dumb founded by most of the new products. The only thing I really got excited about was the new wine opener! That is if it works as well as the video showed it I will be in love :love:!!! I love wine and even volunteer at local winerys to get paid in wine! hehhehe
I also thought the kitchen scale was brillant and a no brainer, its about time PC!!
The Bamboo Bowls I won in the raffle.....Yes they are as ugly as my grandmas 1970's bowls and they are pointless! I keep trying to use them in my kitchen since they were free but I am left disapointed everytime!! And we charge almost $40 for these?! and they cant even go in the microwave!!! Just stupid really....
jcsmilez said:Yeah, not too excited about those. It looks like they're a bunch of cut off bottle tops. I doubt they'll last long. The only place I could see them being handy is camping or somewhere where there is a lot of dirt and/or bugs to get into your drink. If people do purchase them please encourage them to wash their cans thoroughly before use, you cannot believe the amount of grime and who knows what that can be on top of a soda can.
Nanisu said:I think the scale will be a best seller with bakers who need to weigh flour and sugar, and with those on a calorie budget that need to weigh their food. I have one like it and I love it. I was disappointed that the video didn't have many selling tips.
cochef said:I liked how the Use & Care referenced using it a postage scale!! I will definitely be mentioning that feature
esavvymom said:I wasn't crazy about the Bev Bag...until I watched the video and saw that she used it with a 2-liter bottle of soda too. THAT makes it more interesting, since it's not like I carry wine bottles to places, but a 2-liter would be more in line with someone like me.

esavvymom said:Shoot....I have been doing that with my kitchen scales for years!
brewejen said:I took one to work today and when my boss saw it she loved the bag. She was thinking it was just a gift bag I had gotten somewhere. She asked where I got it and I told her it was part of the new line of products PC has this season. She asked "why is Pampered Chef selling gift bags?" When I told her what it was, she loved it even more! I think they'll be a great seller once people know how to cross market them.
BethCooks4U said:I have been carrying the tangerine things that August hosts get to my shows in that bag and have been getting a lot of interest in the bag, especially when I tell them about the other uses it has. If they don't balk at the price point I think it will be a good seller.
brewejen said:I think if we sell it as "It's only $8.50! And it can be used over and over again." Plus add on some examples of what it can be used for. I work at a party supply store and people pay $2 for a cheap decorated wax covered paper gift bag that I wouldn't trust using with a nice bottle of wine. If only I could sell these at work!
pmprdprettyinsnj said:Saw this today at BJs bet it will be a new product come next spring....what do you think?
As a Pampered Chef consultant, I am most excited about the new Quick Cooker Deluxe. This product is a game-changer for busy families, as it can pressure cook, slow cook, and air fry all in one appliance. It also has a larger capacity than the original Quick Cooker, making it perfect for cooking for larger groups or meal prepping for the week.
The Quick Cooker Deluxe has several features that make it stand out from other pressure cookers on the market. It has a built-in crisping lid for air frying, a larger capacity, and preset cooking programs for easy use. It also has an easy-release button for quick pressure release and a cool-to-the-touch exterior for safety.
Yes, the new Microplane® 3-in-1 Cook's Tool has been a huge hit with our customers. This versatile tool can be used as a zester, grater, and slicer, eliminating the need for multiple kitchen gadgets. It also has a protective cover for safe storage and is dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
Customers are also excited about the new Stoneware Chip & Dip Set. This set includes a large round platter and a separate dip bowl, both made of durable stoneware. The platter has a unique ridged design that helps keep dips and sauces in place, making it perfect for entertaining or family meals.
We have a few exciting new products coming soon, including a new line of non-stick cookware and a handheld spiralizer. The non-stick cookware will feature a durable ceramic coating and be oven safe up to 450°F. The spiralizer will make it easy to create healthy vegetable noodles and can also be used for slicing and shredding fruits and vegetables. Keep an eye out for these new products in the coming months!
