New Spring Products: Predictions for Upcoming Leadership Conference

[Cindycooks]

I love the idea of the 2 cup prep bowls - I think back in the fall I posted that I'd like to see a 2 cup batter bowl. Prep Bowls (maybe a set of 4) would be even better!
I'd like a double boiler insert for the cookware. I've had many requests for that.

PC used to have a Double Boiler. I sold a ton of them too! Not sure when we discontinued it but it wasn't too long ago. I love mine and actually use it often... just used it Christmas Eve!

 

[pamperedlinda]

Since the Professional set is going away, I'm kinda thinking that they may introduce a steamer basket - and while they are at it a double boiler too.

These are both things I would like to see!

 

[cpaylor]

A double boiler would be nice. I've had several people mention it, usually around Christmas and Easter when they are in a candy/chocolate making mode.

I am hoping they will redesign the egg slicer plus and the salt and pepper mill.

I would like for them to bring back the tea and coffee...the coffee could be a regular blend, but I loved the tea.

A woven selection for the oval stoneware pieces would be nice.

A nice canister set would be a great addition.

I am hoping they bring the salsa back. I had lots of customers who loved the salsa mix.

I would also like to see regular size round coffee cups. The coffee and more cups are really too big for coffee, but they are great for soup or hot cocoa.

A cake-taker...I used to use the old Round Chillzanne platter with lid until my kids dropped the lid and broke it.

I have been wanting a stoneware crock with lid...in large size. Home and Garden Party has one called a Bean Pot. It is stoneware, has small handles on the sides, a lid, and is glazed and decorated on the outside. You can bake beans in the oven. I have one that I use to carry cheese dip, chili, or stew to church dinners. I make the food and then put it in the bean pot to carry it. It keeps the food hot forever. I also have the basket that you can carry it in. This is one piece that I absolutely love. They have other stoneware pieces, but they aren't comparable to ours. Theirs are dishwasher safe.

I AGREE SHAWNA!!!!!

and here are a few more on my wants list:

A serving spoon for the trifle bowl.
A magnetic knife hanger
A pot rack
A “GREEN” lettuce knife
A rectangle stone w/handles
A nutcracker
SA Cranberry bowls & Squares
A WS for the Cranberry Covered Baker
I like the idea for a 2 cup Batter Bowl & the redesign of the Egg Slicer & Pepper Mill (great thoughts)

I also want the Groom’s Apron back :balloon:

Isn't this a pretty good description of the DCB? I use mine in all the ways you listed.

 

[finley1991]

I use my crock for beans.

 

[wadesgirl]

I second handles on all the flat stones. I'm betting that they wanted to see how the larger one went before they came out with the rest.

After using mine this weekend to make two batches of oreo truffles, I wish they would redesign the scoops to include silicone padding where your fingers are. Mine fore finger was so sore from constantly scooping.

 

[VeronicaW]

It is my understanding that a wood block dulls the knives.

If you have a tool bag for Barbeque Tools, the knives fit in there very well. A little bulky, but a handy carrying case.

Yes, just like the ones used on Top Chef! That would be so Great! :thumbup: Nice idea!

We use our Prep Bowls so much, I think a set of two -2 Cup Bowls would be very useful!

Unfortunately I am unable to attend Leadership this year. My husband has his annual Vegas Computer trip for his company, last year we overlapped a day or two. Our three kids stayed at my sisters, we decided not to do that again.

I would love to receive the info too if anyone is willing to send them along to me too!

TIA

or a 2 cup batter bowl (this way it would have a handle)

I would like to see the spouts redesigned for drip free pouring on the Batter Bowls.

 

[rennea]

I would like to see the spouts redesigned for drip free pouring on the Batter Bowls.

YES, I agree. I love our batter bowls but never pour from them because it make such a big mess.

 

[pcmom2abm]

a tea maker--the one i have now the pitcher always spills when i try to pour a cup of tea

 

[pcmom2abm]

wish they'd bring in small items-it's getting hard to carry alot of big items in for demos. Seems like a lot of new large items came out the last two seasons

 

[finley1991]

I think a knife bag would be a great incentive for consultants... but really, how many of our customers transport knives? Would be great if they offered that to us though.

I have one similar from FireKing that I have had over 12 years. I love it and use it almost everyday. It basically is a glass measuring cup. It is made very similar to the batter bowls but has red lettering for the measuring marks. I have thought a 2 cup batter bowl is a great idea.

I thought that was what the oven mit was for! jk

 

[Shawnna]

The Bean Pot I am talking about is tall and round...like a large crock that my grandmother used to have...with a flat lid with a small round handle in the center of the lid. The pot itself has small handles on the side. I love the DCB, but the bean pot would take up less room.

 

[finley1991]

What else could you use a bean pot for?

Maybe like the bread crock? There are cranberry ones in the outlet right now. Oh, but those don't have a lid.....hmmmm can you post a picture?

 

[janetupnorth]

Basically a casserole dish right?

 

[Shawnna]

Okay, I was going to paste a picture but can't get it to work. If you want to see what they look like go to Home & Garden Party - Home and browse the serving pieces. There are several styles. The newest is a beautiful pottery look, but it looks shorter and fatter than the style I have. Mine has apples on it, but it is available with sunflowers, pinecones, and sometimes with a snowman on it. It is not shaped like the DCB or any of our pieces. It is kind of like the stoneware crock on the outlet, but a lot bigger with a lid and handles. It is glazed inside and out. Its somewhat like the old butter churns, only smaller.

 

[Shawnna]

You can use the bean pot for cooking stew or beans in the oven...probably a lot more things...but I basically use it for keeping chili, stew, cheese dip, etc. warm after cooking it. It doesn't take up a lot of room on the table, so it works great for church dinners where everyone is bringing stuff.

 

[momoftwins]

bring back the coffee!!!!!

 

[pamperedtraci]

bring back the coffee!!!!!

Ditto! I don't drink coffee, but I sold a TON of it to my customers! My MIL bought some even though my FIL is allergic to cinnamon!! That's how good it was!!

 

[missyciccolella]

bring back the coffee!!!!!

My entire family stock piled this coffee before it was retired...my supply is gone and my mom is down to 1 bag of decaf only...please, please bring it back or put it on the outlet!

 

[SilverCeladon]

I would love a plain white Simple Additions round bowl. I need one so badly to go with my pasta bowl set-I broke mine the other day.

 

[ChefNic]

My entire family stock piled this coffee before it was retired...my supply is gone and my mom is down to 1 bag of decaf only...please, please bring it back or put it on the outlet!

Ditto the coffee comeback!
I have SEVERAL guests and host that stock piled it too before it was gone. and one of those guests/a friend - called the other day...more just to chat...but she did ask about the coffee!

 

[nathan81]

I want Microfiber dishclothes! I have a bunch of customers asking for them.
