Re: QuestionsHere's my answer about the Grinders: They're a great deal. Several years ago I got really into freshly-ground pepper. I went looking for a good pepper mill. In my research I discovered that the best grinders are ceramic. They don't corrode, so they can be used well for pepper, salt, and a wide variety of spices. They also last a long time. When I went shopping for those ceramic grinders, I discovered that (at least around here) they started at about $35 each. Most of them were $40-$50 each--waaaaaay too much for me to pay. Our are great quality at a fraction of the cost of comparable grinders. I'm proud of the value we're offering with them.
 
Re: Questionsfirst thing...does anyone have this wonderful sounding "wording" that Lisa uses to sell skillets? I have sold 2...to my mother. I talk about cookware at every show and people just look at me like I have lost my mind.


As far as price issues...everyone around here has "walmart" mentality. If you can buy it at walmart then everywhere else is "too expensive". I hate WalMart!! I am amazed that people will drive 35 minutes to walmart to buy something...with gas at 4 bucks a gallon...and then complain that milk costs 5 bucks at the local convenience/grocery store. I used to have that mentality when it came to PC but after I touched the products and saw what great quality they are I am sold, sold, sold. I used to buy a new skillet at WalMart at least 3 times every year...$10 each. I did this for years. So, I spent $30 every year on a 10 or 12 inch skillet when I could have paid $100 and bought 1 that will last a lifetime. You get what you pay for.

Unfortunately, no one in my area shops at those expensive type stores...just WalMart.

Lisa's wording:

“Tonight I will show you how to put a meal together in under 30 minutes and how to reinvent leftovers.

Most important tool in the kitchen is the cookware.. Great cookware can actually make you a better cook.
