[merego]

I need a quick tip for my cluster meeting and I may use that, definately will get a laugh

 

[Jamie Fletcher]

I wouldn't mind the cherry/olive pitter back also.

 

[Christ Follower]

I didn't read through the 7 pages, but I would like a pineapple corer.

 

[Christ Follower]

I want the spice rack, even if it is just for consultants for in my kit. I wouldn't have to dig so much to find them.
I also REALLY want a basket to hold the Large Bar Pan. Would be so nice.
The Forged Cutlery knives holder and I love the ideas of the Forged tomato knife and 5" Santoku.
I also would LOVE if they brought back the SA stripes. I LOVED the stripes.
A new Fundraiser program would be FABULOUS!!
There is more, I just can't think what all I want!!

Didn't they long ago have a spice rack? I think I saw a PC one somewhere...

I would like one too.

 

[Christ Follower]

I have had requests for Vegetarian Cookbooks and Dutch Ovens too.

 

[linojackie]

I definitely like the idea of the flatware. I would also like to see more "gadget-type" tools. I think that is one of the things that people like most about PC, or at least from what my customers have told me.

 

[Evelynt]

i would like to see a grill scraper on the grill cleaning brush.

Don't let Karen Logston form HO hear you say that! I was in a Cooking Show Live workshop last year that she was moderating, and the consultant doing the demo mentioned something about our "gadgets".....Boy did Karen get excited! She made it clear to everyone that PC does NOT sell gadget - we sell Kitchen Tools. The difference being that a gadget has only one use, and sits in a drawer and collects dust, whereas a tool has many uses and is helpful for everyday in the kitchen!



(oh - and I LOVE:love: Karen!)

 

[brendaivette]

Definitely Kids Stuff in the Kitchen, and bring back the childrens cookbook, since they just added the dinnerware maybe they can add some glassware to match...........................

True! True! I don't get offended by the word gadget, but I do use it as an opportunity to teach the difference.

The funny thing about this is that I tell people at my shows that I have a portable washer and dryer! I have a pitcher and a salad spinner set aside for my more expensive "unmentionables" that I don't like to washin the machine or dry, so I use these items. I've actually gotten some sales from this idea, although it is a bit humorous... I make sure that I tell about all the different features of each items and this just shows our guests how versatile our products can be when we use our imagination!

I just wish they'd make the handles a little more sturdy is all. I haven't made lemonade at a show in so long, simply because I don't want to call HO on yet another pitcher adjustment! :yuck:

 

[chef_leeanne]

I am still wishing for a garlic keeper and a 2 cup batter bowl. Since they just redesigned the colander set I know I will not get this wish, but a collapsible colander set would be awesome.

 

[cwinter474]

I am adding on here...

Love the pizza peel (wooden paddle to take pizza's in and out of oven), but I wonder if the sales of stones would suffer?

A onion cutter so we could make our own blumming onions.

OPEN STOCK ON ALL COOKWARE

I would also like for PC to put together a CB for the trifle bowl
(yes I know someone is selling these, not interested, thanks)

A CB for the Deep Covered Backer.
A microwave CB
A knife block
A tomatoe knife

I second the idea for "HANDWASH ONLY" to be imprinted on the handle of the ice cream scoop!!!! Maybe in RED or BLACK

I kinda like the idea of hostess only products. Like a pan in a size not available to eveyone, or a Dots serving piece or a knife.

 

[dianevill]

You can use the Apple Wedger - just push it down about 3/4 of the way- it works wonderfully!

Didn't know that.... THANKS, off to buy a onion now.... bye

 

[Shawnna]

we have had the cherry/olive pitter twice. It is not a good seller...I didn't sell any...but there are always people who want it when its not in the catalog anymore.

We did that 4-5 years ago and it didn't go over well at all.

Really? That surprises me, I would have thought it would have helped with bookings??

That's what we have the host-only half-price combinations for.

 

[DebbieJ]

A tomatoe knife

We have one already.

 

[cwinter474]

We have one already.

I know, the color coated tomato knife.

The type of knife I am referring to is much like the boning knife but with more of a curved type blade...

 

[Kitchen2u]

I sent this one for a suggestion...I would love this if the handle was silicone too...

[Kattyschack]

Ok, this may be a little long so I apologize now.
I would like to see:
Open Stock cookware for the Host's mix and match pleasure
spice rack
knife block
sprinkles
glass bowls of various sizes (they can nest inside each other)
kids cooking items
acrylic tumblers that match the dots
red, white, and blue outdoor set
pieces to finish the SA set as well as a complete set in the white or another color/pattern
canister set
mini pie plates
flatware
dutch oven
mesh grill top pans
new fundraiser program
maybe a registry for college students or someone moving into their first home (my brother is moving into an apt. so we created one similar to the wedding registry, and my sis went to college so we did the same for her)

 

[Kattyschack]

2 items I saw on "I Want That!' that I liked were:
a clip for the side of your pot/pan to hold onto your spoon so you didn't have to worry about sauce and such getting all over your counter everytime you took your spoon out. It just clips to the inside and holds it when you are stirring.
http://marketplace.hgtv.com/pot%20clip_keywordanother item was a pan that was shaped like a maze that made edges on at least 2 sides of every piece of brownie. That would be soooo nice to have.

I really liked this too, but I wondered how much I would use it...also from this catalog I loved the Basting Sauce Pot & Brush (this is something my husband would use almost every weekend)
http://www.williams-sonoma.com/srch/index.cfm?action=kwd&searchform=1&words=basting+sauce+pot
AND I absolutely loved what they call the Nito Serving Collection (looks very similar to our Woven Selctions).
http://www.williams-sonoma.com/srch/index.cfm?action=kwd&searchform=1&words=nito+serving
I would love to have those chargers, but for SA instead!

 

[Koolotus]

Keep dreaming. We will never sell anything that plugs in.

Which is why my husband let's me keep this gig
When we are at conference ask me about the New Year's day run in with the immersion blender!!!

 

[zaharof]

I get lots of requests for a smaller collapsible bowl...haven't had requests for different colors, but I like that idea A LOT!!
I've also had many requests for a nylon version of the small-serving spatula...would be great to use on the stones...no chances of scraping. The spatula seems to be one of those items that almost everyone has.
I like the spice rack too and "light & fit" or "healthy/healthier" recipes would be a bonus! :love:

 

[MissChef]

Spice Rack, Forged Cutlery Holder, Lids for the SA Square Bowls, Hamburger Press :chef:

oooohhhh! Me likey this one!!! LOL!
