Hi everyone!
I have a past host that wants to know the difference between our Professional and executive cookware and how they compare to those you can buy in the store. I found a thread from earlier but it only compared our professional to those bought in the store. Does anyone have any info they could share. I want to do this right, because she said she is thinking about booking another show to earn cookware 1/2 off :)
Thanks!
Michelle
 
Have you gotten your February KCN? There is a great write up on the new cookware.

I did see the Feb. KCN, and it was a great article telling all about our cookware. But I am looking for information on how our cookware compares to what you can purchase at the store.

The number one difference is that there is no other cookware on the market that has titanium as part of the construction of the metal of the pan which makes it the strongest, most durable cookware out there. It will never warp or lose its shape. The titanium cookware marketed by other brands has only a titanium coating which does not have the same benefits. To me this is the #1 selling point.

The we had the nonstick on the inside and out and I'm sold! Makes cleanup a breeze! And don't forget the lifetime guarantee!

The write up in the KCN as well as the spread in the new catalog are fabulous.

As to comparing it to the professional line, I say that the professional was top of the line 5 years ago when it came out. Just like your 5 year old cell phone. And look how far cell phones have come. So for just a little more $$, why not have the best?

Here's a couple flyers that I gathered. Hope they help!

OUrs vs. CephalonI had a guest last night who has a set of SS Cephalon (spelling?) and said she loves it. She said it is surprisingly non-stick, is oven-safe, and looks brand new even after 6 years. She was just curious about the difference between her cookware and ours. I was at a loss. Can someone help me out?

Calphalon has three lines of stainless on their website. It depends which one she has.
 
Hi Michelle,Thank you for reaching out and asking about our cookware! As a pampered chef consultant, I have had the opportunity to use both our Professional and Executive cookware, as well as other cookware on the market. I can confidently say that our cookware stands out in terms of quality, durability, and performance.First, our Professional cookware is made with high-grade stainless steel, which ensures even heat distribution and prevents hot spots while cooking. This means your food will cook evenly and thoroughly, without burning or sticking to the pan. Our Executive cookware, on the other hand, is made with a combination of stainless steel and aluminum, which provides even better heat distribution and allows for faster cooking times.In terms of durability, our cookware is built to last. The stainless steel used in our cookware is corrosion-resistant and will not warp or bend over time. This is a common issue with store-bought cookware, as they are often made with cheaper materials that do not hold up well with frequent use.Lastly, our cookware is designed with the home cook in mind. The handles are ergonomically designed for a comfortable grip and the pans are lightweight for easy handling. The non-stick coating used in our Executive cookware is also top-of-the-line, making clean up a breeze.I hope this information helps in explaining the difference between our cookware and those on the market. Your past host will definitely notice a difference in the quality and performance of our cookware and I'm sure she will love it as much as I do. Thank you for considering another show to earn our cookware at a discounted price. I would be happy to help you plan it and showcase our amazing products.Happy cooking!Pampered Chef Consultant
