Last Friday I made homemade lasaugna for dinner, I browned the hamburger meat in the 12 inch skillet, and then I thought well I will jsut see what happends when I slowly add the sauce, WELL I made spagetti sauce in my 12 inch skillet... well I was eating and it hit me on the head that I have a cross sell for the skillet.... You can make a small pot of spagetti sauce in the skillet!! Just thought I would share something that I found out by cooking in my own kitchen.. I love this business for that very reason!!
 
Note to self: Add skillet to wishlist...
 
I hope you used the Mix n Chop to brown your ground beef, Leah too!
 
Ooh, I love love LOVE my 12 inch skillet. :)

I used it not only to brown the groundbeef but I used it to stir in the sauce as well.. I LOVE IT!!!
 
This skillet is my absolute favorite and most used piece of cookware...if I could only keep one piece, this would be the one!

You can brown 3# of meat (using the mix n chop, of course!) drain and rinse (in the large colander, of course!) and then measure out 2 cups of cooked meat into quart size freezer bags. Then, just thaw in the micro when you need browned hamburger!

Use it all the time for Hamburger Helper (my hubby LOVES this stuff...I know it's not healthy, though!)

Made a ton of fried potatoes a couple of weeks ago (testing out my UM)

This product is the best!

Yep, the grill pan is a close second. I have the prof grill pan and can't wait til I can trade up for the exec. Once I acquire everything else I want, that will be the next thing on my list. PC just has to stop introducing so much new stuff !!!! :p

I forgot about using it to stir in the sauce as well! My DH doesn't get it but told me that if everyone else loves it that's all that matters and keep on selling them.:D

I need to work on getting more of our pans too. I am still using my 30 + old Farberware and hid my Farberware saute pan so I can use my Prof. Saute Pan that I earned back in 2004.

It sure helps! I must say that this season's new products are much better to me than some seasons. I try not to downplay my thoughts on products I don't "get" and do find myself upplaying the ones I love or wish I had. Our enthusiasm is what helps sell the products.

I have learned through the past year that the more I share my experinces with the products the more they want to buy them.. and the stuff that I have at my demos they buy!!!! So i started doing a demo that requires higher priced items LOL!!!
 
I have the Gen II Skillet. I have the 7 and 5 piece set of the Executive that I got as a half price item. I have been wanting the Ex. Skillet since I got the other, but keep telling myself then Gen II is great too. But I do not like to use it at shows since it is retired. And I love it the one time I did a "live" cooking demo in my skillet.

I told my husband he could give me money for our anniversary next weekend if he wanted to and I would buy the Ex Skillet! What a romantic anniversary present!!! :D He does not like giving me money though - he likes giving me the present so I am expecting some of the other stuff I picked out.

Oh Yeah they are... :D especailly for brithdays and anniversarys!!!
 
I can't wait to get my Executive Cookware. I am ordering it this month during kit enhancement month to save the 40%!! (and my 4th month is in May, so I will get more cookware then too!)

I use the Family Skillet FAR more than the stir-fry. It's easier to cook a large amount of something evenly, because there's more "bottom" surface to the pan. You'll wonder how you got along without it!
 
I use the family skillet a lot more than the stir-fry also but I do love them both. I agree with Ann. You will wonder how you got along with out it.

I couldn't wait to get the Double Burner Griddle. I earned it last year (or the year before) during that promotion. I like it BUT...it is a slight pain in the butt trying to regulate the temperature. I just got the new Executive Griddle. LOVE IT!!! It doesn't have as much surface area as the DBG, but it cooks more evenly and I don't have to worry about burning my pancakes!
 
ice cubes/cookware?
