I was asked to do a "How to demo cookware" shpiel at my next Cluster meeting! :eek: Anyone have tips on what to say?
 
I would do the ice demo to show how evenly it distributes heat. While it's melting, you could mention the nonstick & oven safe features. Most customers of mine still can't believe that you can put them in the oven. They think the handles will melt, so I tell them about the cakes I make in the 12 in skillet.
 
I think the 2 frequently mentioned suggestions are the ice melting and rice crispie treats to show how easy the pan is to clean.
 
I love the point someone made about hsubands buying lawn equipment.
 
I would demo rice krispy treats - that would give everyone a treat to eat too. Wipe the skillet, stir fry pan, or saute pan out with a paper towel and take a bow!
