I was surprised at the quality of the sheet pans, they are awesome. I like the pinch bowls, but not sure why I need them, but I really like them. I was disappointed with the party stakes, and I think we have quality issues with the colanders (can anyone say dollar store?) I'm really happy with the colors of the tumblers and am looking forward to trying the new scrapers (once again I want to like them, but not sure why I need em) Can't wait to try everything out and see what I love!

Really, about the collander bowls? I was wanting some of the current ones but thought I should hold off for the new ones!? Should I get the current ones then? I like and want the bowls really.

I have the current colander set that I earned with the old SS program. I would wait for the new ones because they are better but I do agree that they seem a little... I really don't know what the word is for it! But out of the two, I like the new set better. The bowls seem bigger (the small colander on the old set would only hold 1 box of mac and cheese and that was with the loss of a few noodles!) and nicer though.

I am not a director but saw the new stuff yesterday and I do like the sheet pans. They are heavy duty but not too heavy. The weight was a suprise the first time I picked them since I'm used the cheap flimsy ones but you can tell they are great quality.

Hmm, good to know, I guess I will just wait for the new one and buy it on sample suppy!

Clever as usual and a great theme for the day.

The green in the products though isn't quite the Packer green!

I'm not a director yet either... but that will change very soon if what I keep sensing from the Lord is reality... I saw new products at Leadership and I was impressed and not impressed with the new colanders set. I like the feet... and the shape ... both SUPER improvements... but the material does feel like the dollar store ... and I KNOW that I will miss the groove in the top for flipping food into the bowl from the colander. The tops are very slick... I'll put them to use as soon as they arrive and I hope I am pleasantly surprised and find that I love them... I do think that maybe food won't stick in the holes as bad as with the old ones... so I'm hoping I'll pop on here one day to say how wrong my first impression was.

When you gals say "dollar store like" do you mean the thickness of the material, flimsy, lightweight, what exactly? Since I don't have the old style I cannot or would not be able to compare?

I have not seen the new products yet, but explain to me these sheet pans? Are they metal? How are we going to sell metal sheet pans when we push stoneware as better?

 

[wadesgirl]

I will probably say something like "And for all of you who haven't tried our stoneware and are to used to metal pans, PC has come out with something special just for you..." You can talk about the advantages of using them under a broiler.

And dishwasher safe!

Loving the pinch bowls! And as silly as this sounds, I'm really happy with the plate caddy (can't remember the exact name). The green is really loud on the microfiber towel and bar board.

It's not just loud... it's SCREAMING! My kids will LOVE them!

I LOVE the plate/utensil caddy!

It's hard to describe. I would not say flimsy... I think that it's SO different from the material the old ones are made of that I was surprised... the bowls feel thinner and it's a slicker feeling material. I'm thinking they will be just fine... I TOTALLY love that they come with the lids and that they all nestle together with their lids... I'm going to embrace them, use them and then decide.

ok, and I'll admit that i was a little bummed that this didn't come in the package, but I want the dots dish set!!! It is so awesome that PC gave us the opportunity to earn PC Dollars in December, I'm so getting a sample of those dishes!!!

Yes, I have always thought it weird that the lids were sold seperate! Now it's a whole package deal!

I showed DH the new mini catalog and he said he actually liked those dishes. Shocked the you know what out of me! We may be getting them on the supply order.

hmm, I just heard another remark about how cheap the colander bowl set looked or felt. I think I am going to get the old ones before they retire! They are really for storage purposes and not to take to shows.

I still think the new ones are better and bigger than the old ones.
