Who May Find This Useful

Consultants interested in product trends and community insights may find this discussion relevant as they consider customer preferences and potential product offerings.

After reading everyone else's ideas, these are the ones I love..

DCB COOKBOOK
cheese cuber
9x13 aluminum pan
bamboo placemats - Neat!
larger bamboo snack bowls
burger press (actually had someone ask about this last week)
more sauces & spices!
 
I had put on that paper last year at conference for bamboo placemats, so hopefully it will come this year :)

I store my seasonings on top of my microwave in the grilling basket LOL

This year I am wishing for:
Still the bamboo placemats
A different color for the collapsible bowls (even pink during May would be nice)
I prefer the chef's tools so they can discontinue the sets LOL
Wonder if they will add another oil dipping seasoning?
A larger Silicone Basting Brush would be nice
A large rolling pin, I find it hard to roll out pie dough with the Bakers Roller
I like the ideas of the stand for the seasonings, extra blades for the UM
 
I would like to see a different barrel for the cheese grater. Something a little bigger. For cheddar or Mozzarella. Also, as a side note, I found a great cookbook holder at Hobby Lobby for those who live in the midwest. It's wrought Iron looking and has 5 sections for books, i take it to my shows to display the books. But it would be nice to have one to sell.

I love this idea!!!
 
Everyone who is listing things here, don't forget that you can make those suggestions on CC. You don't have to wait until Conference. If the items you suggest are already in the pipeline, then your request will just serve as confirmation to HO that they got it right. But the more requests they get for things, the more seriously they consider them. And your request may be the one that pushes something into the "make it" bin.
 
Don't have time now to read everyone's response, but I think they will come out w/small bamboo square bowl. I already saw some at a local cooking store in Fort Wayne - yes, they were just like PC's and they had all sizes.

I wish they would come out with a less-expensive cookware set similar to Gen II, but not holding my breath.

I also think they will bring out a 9x13 baking pan - like the sheet pans. Maybe even cake pans which I wish they would rather then the nonstick ones.

They will probably add white pie plate and square baker.

They need more open stock on cookware. I have so many people who want the 10" covered skillet in the Executive line.
 
We need a larger pizza stone for the pizzas that Wal-Mart & Sam's Club make. I have two in the freezer now waiting to be cooked but the large stone isn't big enough. :(

Man, I couldn't imagine a bigger stone for that! I would have NO WHERE to store it, those pizzas I just cook on the rack...LOL
 
If you have 2 large bar pans...could you turn them upside down, side-by-side, and cook the pizza that way?
 
I'd actually like some coated stoneware (on the inside),
a smaller batter bowl or a glass measuring cup in the same design
square small bamboo plates (dinner and dessert size)
collapsible measuring spoon (one spoon does 4 measurements by depressing the cup)
smaller oven mit
aprons for sale to the public ("pampering my family")
smaller stainless bowl
small spoon style scraper
fondu set (a suggestion for a customer who is really into this now)
a stand-up timer (bigger, more in the round shape with the turn dial)
light fare cookbook
larger rolling pin
stoneware rack
open stock on all cookware pieces
and, since we have cookware, serving, baking, etc. why not silverware?? Nice, heavy duty stuff.
 
I love the idea of coated stoneware in the inside. I think that they should have aprons for hosts, like the HWC apron would have been a wonderful incentive for hosts.
 
I also keep (well, about once a year) asking for a redesign of the batter bowl handles. If they were open on the bottom (shaped like an upside-down upper-case L), then the bowls could be more effectively stacked inside each other, saving cabinet space.

I agree, the new design would be nice.
 
I just hope they don't redesign the garlic press again. I have 3 different ones and have only been a consultant for 2 years (one I bought before joining).

I am also hoping for a New Fundraiser program

One can only hope...every year we have wanted this and it doesn't happen.:(
 
Stoneware glazed on the inside defeats many purposes, crispiness and easy cleanup.

???? The one I have is the original one I had when I joined 6 yrs ago, this past season was the only time I remember it being redesigned...

I have "other" stoneware that is glazed inside and there is no "defeat" in crispiness or clean up. I have had my baking dish for years and I love it. Everything turns out wonderful in it and clean up is a snap!
 
Be sure to email all your great ideas to PC. They love to hear recommendations.

They've tried the Cherry/Olive pitter a couple different times, and it's been discontinued both times.

I love the cherry pitter, I have used mine every day this week. I still have people asking for those:thumbup: wish they'd bring it back.
 
DCB cookbook is a MUST :)
I like everyones ideas.

I can't tell you how many people have asked me if we have a Mesquite Rub! I hope they come up with that this fall.
 
A spice holder of some sort (even if it's just a case like the knife case for consultants only)LOVE the DCB cookbook ideaSomething to transport cakes (like tortes) with a cover--I currently use the lid from the old round Chillzanne Platter over the large Round SA platter. 10" Exec. Skillet in open stockIncreased %-age for Fund-raisers
 
wow I have read through all 5 pages and there has been some good suggestions I find as was stated in of the posts about the products some what close to of the tupperware products which I am hoping they keep us different to a point :) but here is my list of things

spice rack
DCB cookbook
SA in different colors
Dot stoneware I know I am asking alot here lol
general spice would be good
bowls in different colors the collapsible one but I think they do coridnate so well with the outdoor items we have maybe a change up in things in that area

But in all honestly I have feeling they are going to come out with more practical items verses cutie items... Just my 2 cents
 
Since they have brought out the metal pans - I think the next thing is silicone baking pads (I think that is what they call them

Snowflakes are a great idea - matches almost everyones holiday decor

Host aprons or for anyone would be great - I have two aprons and at christmas time I have lots of people over to bake cookies from 5am to about 9pm at night and they fight over who wears my PC aprons - I wear an old apron that my mom and I made together over 20 years ago and since she died 6 years ago I love wearing that one (it is getting very very thin)

Bamboo spice rack - :thumbup:

Bamboo anything - :thumbup:

Cookbook rack - like the SA stands

SO SO SO many more

:chef:
 
Love all the suggestions --

smaller version of the chef's tongs
anything, absolutely, anything bamboo!!
different cheese grater drum -- the one we have is too fine for some things...
cranberry SA dinner place settings, other SA in cranberry/plum/etc...
new, nice, serving utensils (like, for the trifle)
colored scrapers (I'm thinking plum, olive green, etc.)
lid for roaster so it can be used for other things ....
jumbo (yes, even bigger) twix-its -- sometimes I just need a really big one!
Season-All salt
Different flavors of beer bread, like cheese and herb
Stoneware ramekins


Just a few of my ideas....I could probably go on all day!
 
I had a request today for a ravioli cutter--basically a small, square version of the Cut N Seal.
 
Oh yeah... I forgot to mention. I'd like to see a platter size of the Daisy plates in Oct. for HWC!
 
Has anyone mentioned seasoning salt? I would love a PC product like that.

Doesn't the pastry cutter have a wheel made for that? I haven't tried it, maybe it's pesky?
