I sent out my superbowl flyer and I got this response today from someone who sells Demarle at Home. She said that Demarle is new to Ohio and this is a groundbreaking opportunity. She said that the CEO is coming to her house next week to do a presentation and would I be interested in coming. She said she doesn't want to take me away from PC but I could do this also!! They sell LOTS of silicone bakeware. I checked out their website (www.demarleathome.com) and most of their catalog is silicone bakeware. But it seems so expensive. See for yourself and let me know what you think. (Not that I would ever even consider leaving PC, I just want to know what you all think).
 
Back of the catalog is very PC-like. They seem very new and still starting out getting off the ground. I don't see silicone bakeware keeping people's attention for years to come...you can only have so much. It'll be interesting to see if they build a name for themselves and are competition or if they come and go...

I agree. I don't think I would ever use that much silicone bakeware. Where would you store all of it???
 
They'll come and go just like SO many other copycat companies have over teh years...
 
I am surprised how little comes with the kit, and the mandoline looks like a toy, LOL! I do think it is a good idea to have the huge party trays to make a bunch of treats at once, but can you imagine getting that into the oven?? Do you put it on a baking sheet?
 
Yes, so little comes in the $150 kit!
 
I agree the kit is very small. I also noticed that they recommend using their baking sheet w/ their silicone, where ours has a metal ring. Also the tangs on their knives do not run the legnth of the handle, that's just asking for breakage in a heavily used knife, yet they are the same price as ours. Just another example of what makes PC great and why our products are more than worth the money!
 
I have seen this product up close and don't like it. It is hard to clean and gets gummy residue on it. Plus, it is not reinforced, so you need to put a pan or something under it - not like our Silicone stuff.
 
Their fonts and images look very familiar!! I think it is another sub-branch of Southern Living At Home, Taste of Home, etc.
 
I think its great they can download the catalog on the website, I wish we could do that. Would save a bit for us to let customers download the catalog if they want.

I thought that too!! It looked like they took a PC catalog and mixed and matched. Is it me or does the front cover look like the dim sum recipes on a simple additions. Do they even sell that plate? Why would they have something on their catalog cover that they aren't selling??

I've already met several past TOH consultants! I hope you guys didn't burn those bridges out there. Your girlfriends that decided to try TOH and don't like it may want to fallback on Pampered Chef. I didn't have any. Too bad!:rolleyes:
