The Deep Covered Baker! It had been so popular, that to combat backorders, they made it a "Host Only" item this past summer.

It's our #1 selling piece of stoneware, and most of us were doing shows centered around it - and now it's back and available for everyone!
 
Woo Hoo!!! DCB is back!! My November will sooo rock!!! Yay!!
 
So excited that it is back!! Wahooooo!
 
I understand there will be an update in Customer Connection this afternoon that we can send out a notice to our customer base to let them know it is now available for all to order!!
 
How great--I have a show tonight where I'm making the Beef Enchilada Casserole (29 Min., Vol. 1) in it--I almost hesitated since only the host was going to be able to purchase it!! Yeah, PC!!!

YES Lisa, I said the same thing. I have a vendor fair this Saturday and it's PERFECT timing!!! Thanks you PAMPERED CHEF.:thumbup::sing:
 
Phew. Bye Bye Chicken Your Way. Just not loving those shows. Back to DCB recipes hard core. I did get a $1200 show b/c the host couldn't buy the DCB outright. But I know she wants to get another one or two. Had another guest on Fri. who wanted to buy one. Her sister is hosting this month so it will be good news for both of them.

OH HAPPY DAY!!!

I finally did two CYW shows this weekend (my calendar's been bare since the baby). I found myself wondering what else I should bring as I packed (I felt I didn't have enough to show), and I found myself with not much to show while waiting for the chicken to cook (I did a side from the sheet on CC at each show).

I did, however, love how quick the demo was. I was out and on my way home faster than I have ever been at a show. I may keep doing Express Shows with CYW, and incorporate something into my DCB shows to keep them quicker.

That is EXACTLY what I just said to my director on the phone!

OK, can see doing the CYW with a DCB cake. Who needs veggies? ;)

I cooked the chicken when I got there and did a side salad. I don't think people "got" the chicken thing and not sure I could pull it off without being too distracted to cook the chicken during the demo. It just takes up too much space to put the raw chicken on something, the press on something, the cooked chicken on something to then cut up and keep the different seasonings straight.

Let me just dump the ingredients in the DCB in front of them and let them go "wow" when they see and taste the results.
 
But here is the question.... Are they still going to be $89.00?? When they raised it that much I thought that was a HUGE price increase...???

It's $85, but I can't imagine they would lower it--I believe this whole shut down and only offering to hosts was part of a marketing strategy to get to raise the price so much, besides having limited quantities.
 
YAY! So Happy to Hear!

I completely agree. I think the baker was under-priced for the volume which we sold. The supply issue was a good time for PC to 'price adjust' with the least amount of complaints since only 1 person/show - the host - was able to purchase.

I don't care...I'm just glad to have my baker back!! Now I have to kiss and make up with it. I broke up with my baker for Chicken Your Way and I'm sure I'll need to grovel a bit to get back in its good graces!! :love:

Actually, the season before, ALL of the stoneware saw substantial price increases, except for the DCB - My thought was that they took this opportunity to catch up with the other pricing.
 
Also, with the new price point, less dcb's will be sold. That will also help with the supply issue down the line. They will still sell at full price, but not at the rate of which they sold before.
