ifYou Could Only Buy 2 Chillzanne

[DebbieJ]

yep, the two bowls and the rectangle have always been there since I started 3 years ago. Sectional server is about a year (?) old maybe?

Shhhh!!!! Conference isn't over yet!!!!!

Honestly I read NOTHING into her question. I figured she was just looking for an opinion like on what stone to buy.

 

[KellyTheChef]

I don't think Deb meant the OP...one or two of the answers on page one is what she was commenting on I will bet...

 

[janetupnorth]

Ah, either way, WE ARE NOW CLEAR!

 

[JAE]

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.

I responded to this post, and my post was taken off but this one wasn't. I'm not bothered that my post was removed because I wasn't thinking when I replied to it. But, why was this post left alone?

Anyway, whatever!

 

[janetupnorth]

What time did you post Jill? Were you slightly before the all-clear?

 

[janetupnorth]

Ooh, that one was early - I missed that earlier - hmm...it must have gotten overlooked...

 

[PChef_ang]

Rectangular all the way!! I had a mishap with mine coming flying out of the cabinet and it broke so I ordered another one, I make so many things over the summer that I use in the server. Now I'm wondering, do I get one more just in case?

 

[jrstephens]

I use my Sectional one more b/c we do lots of chips and dip. I think it depends on what you make the most.

That's my question...what can and can't be used in the sectional one compared to the rectangular one?

I don't have any of the chillzanne pieces yet. I was leaning towards the sectional because it looks like you could use it for the same things as the rectangle one, only you could also change the shape. I love the idea of using it on the deck table, around the umbrella.

I don't make deviled eggs, so the rectangular one doesn't jump out at me either with its flip side.

Amanda...if you never make deviled eggs, and plan to use it out on your deck table with an umbrella, I say go for the sectional one!

I think the rectangle one goes over sooooooooooooo well cuz of the deviled eggs divets on the one side. Plus, if you make something larger (like our ice cream sandwich cake) it fits on it nicely, as do cupcakes without getting smashed. Those are the main thing that I use mine with.

I just don't do a lot of chips/dip or veggie trays, so that's why my sectional one doesn't get used!

Which is why you can all mail your sectionals to ME! :blushing:

I use the egg compartments in the rectangle server for chocolate covered strawberries!:thumbup:

Large bowl and rectangle server.

IMHO are the 2 most versatile pieces.

Oh, that sounds so good, and such a good idea! I never thought of that. I don't eat deviled eggs.

I'm saving all my Chillzanne items for graduation parties. They're 6 years away, so I'm hoping the liquid doesn't leak out in the meantime! Otherwise, I don't use my Chillzanne very much. But maybe I'll start making chocolate covered strawberries for gatherings I attend. MMMMmmm!

Such a great idea!

Oh, by the way, what part of the sectional goes in the freezer? That's one thing I do like about the rectangular one, that it's easy to always keep on hand in the freezer.

Ooohh, that sounds tempting...I'll have to look up that recipe...is it in the files?

I have had my large serving bowl for 10 years and it is still fine!

 

[momoftwins]

I have to agree with everyone else about the rectangle server!! That is my all time favorite!! I will need to be purchasing another one here before September!

They are being discontinued because of cost increases. The prices would have gone up $20 or more PER ITEM. HO felt that our customers wouldn't be getting a good value at those prices.

There are small inserts that fit inside the pieces of the sectional...plus the bowl. Actually, the inserts for the sectional should be "easier" to fit into the freezer than the rectangle one, since they are smaller!

 

[chefshawna]

I'm curious as to what would make them go up in cost that much? Did they say? That seems like a lot. Just wondering!

 

[Chef_TK]

I use the rectangle more often, my sectional is still in the box. I am sure I will use it one day, but right now it's just the rectangle one that gets all the use.

Materials increase. They're plastic, which is made from oil.
