Who May Find This Useful

Consultants interested in product feedback and personal experiences related to new offerings from Pampered Chef may find this discussion valuable.

Well, The Furry Guy picked up a bottle of wine on Saturday so we could test out the new Wine Bottle Opener. It was strictly in the interest of research, of course. ;) It works really well. The only comment he had was that, because the corkscrew goes all the way through the cork, you can't use the cork to save any leftover wine. I reminded him that you're not really supposed to use that anyway. We have wine saver stoppers for that very purpose.
 
I got the cutting board/knife and the Greek seasoning. I like the green, but just for splashes of color. It would bee too much as an actual color for a room/decor. The Greek seasoning - not so crazy about the smell, but I'll give it a try before I make an actual decision.

Ordering the collapsible bowl for sure. But let me ask this about the pinch bowls ... I can see myself, as a PC Consultant, using them for demo; but, why would a customer buy them?

Thank you! I thought I was the only one wondering this. When I'm in my kitchen cooking, I just put the stuff in the bowl I'm mixing, not put it in a little bowl first and then dump it in:)

So, I'm glad you asked.

I am really excited about the new seasonings & the grill basket. I hope that grill basket cleans up nicely in the dishwasher. We'll see. We do a lot of grilled veggies & shrimp, and that looks like it will be easier than soaking skewers in water, with the same result.

Ann, that recipe you made up sounds great!

The grill basket will go like hot cakes with my circle of friends and family. I can't wait to tell them.

There is a nice paragraph in the new catalog, on the page with the pinch bowls, that gives a good explanation of why they can be helpful. Still, we'll see.

I think they will be great for show demos though!
 
I guess the only things I'm not that enthused about are the new scrapers (???) and the Colander/Bowl Set. I just don't see the point. I liked the old C/B set and just wished they had included the lids in that set, but whatever. They're ok. The scrapers look a little odd to me.

I don't get it either. It still doesn't make sense to me, to discontinue the cranberry scrapers and bring out more different ones in cranberry while still keeping the cranberry stoneware. The colander set just doesn't look that great in the catalog. Unless that picture is very deceiving, it looks cheap.

I don't get the need for the avocado peeler either. I've always just used a spoon and knife and it works fine. lol Again, I don't get the point of bringing this back while discontinuing the guacamole seasoning. It's like one hand doesn't know what the other one is doing. :confused:

The pinch bowls..I can't see myself using them either. I have enough dishes to wash with two kids! For demos, it would be helpful. For home, a waste of time and energy.

The grill basket is first on my list! It looks awesome. Actually, the shrimp in it do, too. lol I love shrimp. :p

The dots stuff, I just don't like. There's nothing about it that's appealing to me. It reminds me of kids' dishes for some reason. I'm not a 'dot' person anyway but these just don't do it for me.

The green is just too dang bright. I like bold colors but not that one. It just doesn't seem to fit in for some reason. It was a shock to my eyes when I opened that package even though I expected bright from the pics. lol

The outdoor stuff looks pretty cool. I like the tumblers and the party sticks.

All in all, not bad stuff, just not particularly my taste so to each his/her own. :)
 
I just ordered package C and D and open stock pinch bowls, grill basket, collaspable bowl and green nylon knife. Wanted the 10" saute pan but that's going to have to wait. Cannot wait to get more new products!!!
 
I'm building a deck this spring and I can't wait to use all the new spring stuff. I have 4 shows booked for March and I'm so excited.
