Deciding on the New Kit After 200 Shows - Is It Worth The Cost?

[chefkristin]

OT, but does anyone else ever feel kinda guilty for wanting to buy kitchen stuff NOT from Pampered Chef. I have found that I kinda feel like I am cheating. Silly, I know.

100% guilty!

I would do it. You can use the products that you already have as a cash and carry at your shows. People always like that option. Or you will have some nice gifts to give for the holidays.

If I give them items at the show as cash & carry - they have no warranty

I am approaching show 200 - - with my slow start almost 7 years ago!!! ..it's HIGH TIME...I know!
My question to you all is, do you pay the current kit price and get the current kit products? ...or would I pay the old kit price (it was $100, not $90, when I started) and get the old kit products, which is what I would need replaced...???

Just a reminder to all ~

You get this offer after 200 cooking shows ~

Nic~ new price, new kit...I asked HO that question a while back.

I'd just have a lot of baggies to throw away.

OK - confession time. Here's my "thing" with the MMP...and this goes back to the very foirst PC show I went to in 1998. I saw it, leaned over to my Step-Dad (he was my date that night) and said "It's just a MMP, I can get one of those anywhere for less $." At that time I already had 2 or 3 MMPs...I ended up buying the Bar Pan and booking a show, then another show, then years later becoming a consultant.
Anyway - I HAD the PC MMP but one of my downline gals needed it so now it's hers. Can someone tell my WHY our MMP is so much better than the one I can get at BB&B or Target? Sell it to me...make me want it!!!

I can you a little about the others. I work in a preschool and a teacher brought in mini-muffins for the one year olds. I thought that is a perfect size for the little kids and not near as messy as the big size:yuck: .

I did not have a consultant at the time, so I went to Wal-Mart and bought a $3 MMP. I used it a few times, but had trouble finding and wanting to pay for liners, so I didn't use it often.

My Mom had bought one of PC's MMP and gave it to me after I bought the other one. I then made some muffins in both pans.

The PC pan browned better, came out of the pan better, cooked a little faster, and cleaned up easier than the other pan.

The other pan is more silver (didn't cook as even), was not non-stick, took longer (not a dark pan), and is made of two layers of metal. One is the base, the actual muffin part, and a flat piece of metal lays on top of the muffins holes. This leaves a ridge around each muffin hole and is a place for the muffins to stick (more) and also leaves a place for the crumbs to get stuck and then I have to scrape each individual muffin hole more than the PC one. :cry:

I would rather put my PC MMP in two different times to make a large batch of something ( I need to buy another to solve this problem) than to use the cheaper Wal-Mart pan.
