Actually I have found that the wine bottle opener is just like the can opener.
The directions are not that fantastic so you need someone to show you how to use it.
I love mine and it is the easiest thing I have ever used to open a bottle of wine!

I can open a bottle with a waiter's corkscrew in about 5 seconds. Ours is just too much work for me.
 
I think discontinuing the lids for the deep covered baker and the rectangular baker was a mistake. I bought the deep covered lid back in the fall and love it. I actually line it up the opposite was from what it says and it seals up more tightly. When I did get the rectangular baker and wanted to take goodies to family members that I wanted to win over to PC--I just couldn't stand the look of foil or plastic wrap and frankly our PC product didn't look very functional that way. I finally broke down and bought one off of ebay--I think about $30 with all expenses. BRING IT BACK PLEASE !!!

Has ANYONE sold any gilling planks? Great idea if they were not disposable. Who wants to drop $20 buck on disposable stuff

Perhaps a roasting plank that is reusable -Is there such a thing

I haven't sold any of our grilling planks...I don't really talk about them...I use "other" planks that are thicker. I don't feel ours are as nice:( Oh well!
If you've never used one I suggest doing salmon with fresh rosemary and lemon slices! Very good, and a wonderful smoked flavor!

They were not up to PC standards. I personally don't find them that functional. Hopefully they bring out a new and improved version at Conference.
 
Oh my gosh I hope we don't discontinue my colander and bowls (I have 6 sets they are my favorites) I always have them dirty!!!

They are not useless, actually, we use them all the time!!!

They're great for dipping sauces with stir fry, california rolls, etc....

And tonight I even used them to portion out the bacon ranch dip for the kids

Let's see..... also great for small toppings with dinner.... I have put sliced green onion in them to have for sprinkling on salads.....

Seriously! I do use them nearly every day.... along with all the other SA. I have no other dishes in my kitchen. The deal I made was that once I had 4 place settings of SA, I would get rid of all my other dishes,..... LOL Just gotta love the SA! ALL OF IT! I need to get the black triangles!!!! I wish I had gotten them while they were available on their own....:rolleyes:

I'm with you on that! My kids love to dip everything! I cut waffles into strips and put the syrup in the petite squares, ketchup for fries, chicken, burger bites...we love them!
 
I love the colander and bowl set. I use the SA pieces for plates during the holidays. They are really pretty on the table. A lot of times I use the Large Square to serve the family dinner on. It holds your roast and all of your vegetables and doesn't take up the whole table. I think we will get more pieces that are round.
 
Here is my inputHere are the products I think the HO should get rid of

Outdoor plate set
outdoor utensil set
Tile paper napkins
Dessert plates
oil dipping set
All the stripped SA products (think they are ugly)
Obviously all the colored products will change to the new colors of the season
Drainer (hate this product, sorry for all those that love it, I just think its a waste since I would prefer to use my colander)
The Nylon Tool Sets
Adjustable measuring spoons
Egg Slicer ( could be redesigned, hard to clean and the wires bend easily)
Ice Cream Sandwich maker
Creative Cutters Set (maybe come out with other shapes for it)

Thats my list.

Am I the only one that likes the old nylon tools better than the new Cooks Utensils? I find the new ones to be too big and unwieldy for me.......I MUCH prefer the old ones, and those are the ones I recommend to people all the time.
 
Becky, yet another reason why I *heart* you. I prefer the Nylon Tools, too!
