Rectangle Server all the way!
 
Rectangler Server - its more useful in my house - veggie dips, cheese and crackers, chocolate covered strawberrys, deviled eggs, fruit platter, etc. I love the sectional but use the rectangler more - HTH!
 
Rectangle Server- I have both and actually have 3 rectangle servers and hardly ever use the sectional, the rectangle is used and often for many different things!
 
I use my rectangle server all of the time.....my sectional server is still in my office in a box - I've just never felt like I needed to use it.
 
I think I have used the sectional server one time, oh, wait that was my mom using it for shrimp. I have never used the sectional server.
I LOVE the rectangle server, use it all the time!!!

I am the same way! I love the concept of the sectional, but have never actually used it!
 
I was wondering why you were asking for a choice when you said, "If you could only buy 2"...he-he...I see you TRIED to change it! ;)I only have the rect. server, thought it'd be more practical for me...Oh, I do have the old round platter one that I bought used from Cathy I believe.
 
Rectangle. Much more versatile.
Love the bowls too....
Sorry, that wasn't the question was it??

Same here...
I don't know if anyone has done this but a few years ago ( I have to find the cook book) we had a recipe to make an Ice Cream Cake...well I make in on the flat side of the Rectangle server(which is ALWAYS in my freezer) Then put the whole thing back in the freezer & it fits back all together if you have to take it in the car.....HTH :love:
 
I rarely use any of the Chillzanne products, but my sectional server is also still in the box. I bought it last June when a host didn't want her host special. I keep the rectangle part in the freezer all the time, though, just in case I need it.
 
I use all of them alot I prefer my rectangle server but we entertain outside alot But I do love how the sectional server snakes down the middle of the table making it easier for everyone to get the veggies or shrimp or whatever is in it.
 
Rectangle for sure - I have never taken my Sectional out of the box...speaking of which, anyone want it?
 
All the 'juice' drained out of my rectangle but also has happened with the large bowl & the Ice Bucket we had before. Maybe that's why they're all being discontinued.

They're being discontinued because the price couldn't be kept low enough to continue selling the.

The liquid drained out of both of my bowls, too.
 
I love these products. I use my rectangle server all the time...I have never used my sectional server. I like the thought of it, but always pull out the rectangle. I also have the old round one and love it...although now the bottom is cracked and the stuff is gone. I started to throw it away, but keep thinking I can still use it. It is missing the top though. I used to use it for a cake taker because the round platter fits down in it and the lid kept it neat and clean...till my kids knocked the lid off the counter and broke it.

I ordered a small and large bowl last week because they are leaving...and my large bowl lost its cooling stuff.

Ooo, wanna give it to me? LOL
 
Rectangle all the way!!
 
I know you have your answer but I would go rectangle

More room

But I do have the sectional and use it as well around the center of my table around the umbrella I like it to be shaded because I put shrimp in it on a bed of lettuce. I also use it for fruit for people who sit around the table at larger parties but then I aloso use my two rectangles and my original circle.
 
Remember the Chillzanne has a three year warranty, and if your fluids leaked out that is a flaw in the product. I would submit a Product Adj. for them and see if they will send you a new one before they get discontinued!!! I had one arrive with moisture in the lid. I could smell a chemical smell, and sure enough, they replaced the entire product. Because I sent in the adjustment right away, it did not even cost me to send it back.
It would be worth the price of shipping for returning the defective part (keep the good parts for spares).
 
Shhhh!!!! Conference isn't over yet!!!!!
 
Rectangle all the way!
 
Deb...I thought about that when I first read the thread...lol Oops!! But, it wasn't intentional.
 
Rectangle for all the reasons listed plus it's a great carrier for your cupcakes. (no cupcakes are not a disease)
 
I have a question... do these Chillzane pieces come back each year? I held a party in February, and don't recall them being in the catalog, and they caught my attention when I signed in May. But my mom has a rectangle that she said she got at least a year ago... is that right?

They've been in the catalog for as long as I've been a consultant....but if you want one, now would be the time to get it!
