oh no!! I was excited about that...esp since liquids seep(sp?) through our current adjustables...I decided to wait to order any samples until I see everything for myself!! Well, maybe I will order the steak knife set

I thought they were cute! What don't you like about them?

It no longer fits into spice containers, too hard to distinguish the 1/8 tsp line from the whole 1/4 tsp divot, 1/2 tsp mark barely creates a place to put the ingredient, hard to be sure you have the mark at the correct location for the required volume...

I never had a problem with liquids in the old one. I just put a little pressure on the grey slider and never had an issue. This is the only thing I am bummed about so far.

I'm not crazy about the spoon either. I never had a problem with the other ones, and the new one leaked a little tonight.

Mostly I have the same issues as you, Robin.

I feel the catchyness on my hands too but I like how well they absorb! 2 cups of water I heard somewhere( I Think Tom Marshton's book of tips). I want the new colors!

Tom Marston has a book of tips?!?!? WHERE?

The new black tool turn-aboutI am SOO happy that the new one fits in the show-to-go bag! I was afraid it would not fit. It doen't seem that much bigger than the old one, but the bottom turns SO much better. What does everybody think of the SA dots bowl? It is kinda cute.

Mine doesn't measure correctly The directions say to fill to the top but if you use a regular measuring spoon it doesn't fill it to the top!

Oh my!! You ladies better report to HO....

I've never liked ANY of our measuring spoons....I'm about to throw them all away and go back to my OXO ones. Why can't PC have some nice heavy duty metal spoons? I don't get the plastic craze....not only that, but the current ones we have do leak liquids all of the time. This new one (got level 1) is just weird! I agree - the measurements are hard to distinguish! I'm just not impressed.....

Also, has anyone noticed there aren't recipes on many of the product use and care. I always tell people about the great recipes that come with most products....but there aren't any .....This really bums me out.... It is just one thing that stands out about PC is the recipes and now people aren't getting them....

I noticed that too. I earned Leve One. I love that they all had recipes and I think that got people to read the use and care more. Maybe this is just hapenning with SAT products. I think I will email HO a complaint about this one.

Ginger - Are you a professional chef??

I used to be...Not a chef like you see on TV, but alot of the food I made was home style Beef Stew,Goulash,Chicken Pot Pie also Quiches,Pies,Roasts,Soups,Salads etc...& I was self taught.

Oh No! I just piled all of mine while I was unpacking so I could go back and read the recipes later!! That's dissappointing!

New measuring cup: My DS (18 years old) pulled it out of the box FIRST (that's what took his attention) and immmediately tested it. He liked it.

I haven't had a chance to play yet - just looked it over - but today is play day!

I don't think the new oven mitt feels any different then the old ones, but then again I didn't like the old ones much! Even though I should use them because I'm always burning myself - not on my hands, but my arms!!! I love the silicone hot pad trivets, I use them all the time.

I agree w/the measuring spoon - I put this in another thread. I just can't see myself using the spoon, but I think I would really like the cup one. The measuring spoon is too big!! I like the old one because you can spoon it into your spice jars!

I like the triffle bowl since it is flat on the bottom and sides; however, when my daughter saw it she said, "Your other one is prettier." Which I only paid $6 for at Hobby Lobby. I keep it inside my china cabinet and it does look a lot prettier. The PC one is just more practical which a lot of people will probably like more.

I'm with a lot of you, the micro fiber towels drive me crazy because they stick to my hands. I love the old kitchen towels they are discontinuing! I wish they would have offered wash towels to match.
