    So what new spring products would you like to see available? I'm hoping for a new trifle bowl, quick-kut paring knives, and more general kitchen tools. I'm almost positive there will be a new piece of cookware that all the level 1 people earned in December

    i believe your right and we have cookware coming our way, I just hope it’s stuff we can put in the dishwasher and not a simple design change.

    I’m hoping for “unique” and “exclusive” products that aren’t found anywhere but at the Pampered Chef.

    I'm wondering, since we have now entered the world of "plug-in" products, if it will be an insta-pot. Just a gut feeling.

    I was thinking the same....but most insta-pots can be bought cheaper than $140...I would hate to have to justify the cost even though the quality may be better

    Hopefully combining RockCrockery with other kinds of cookware -that stuff is awesome!

    I wouldn't think so, but it does sound like we will only be carrying one set/type.

    I'm hoping this wont be another white ceramic cookware fiasco like we had in 2012. It had a great price, customers loved that it didn't have a toxic coating but after a few uses it looked like crap!

    I'm a little nervous about the replacement. I hope it's absolutely fantastic. And, I'm wondering where I'm going to put it. . . .

    Same here otisbg! I felt a bit underwhelmed with some of the new items and thought my regular customers probably wouldn’t be interested in anything in this price point. Utensils are cute, but...nothing innovative.

    I love Love Love the stainless cookware. After I tried it (fries an egg) I was even more impressed.

    The new cookware is something unique and not on the market. We can sell it because you can’t get it anywhere else.

    I was convinced I wouldn’t want it (and I don’t need it), but I found myself wanting to get rid of my existing cookware to get the new.

    We just need to show it and it will sell.

    I am also underwhelmed. Even at 1/2 price my customers will not pay over $100 for a piece of cookware. Plain and simple. My customers may nit even pay $50 for the quicksicle maker...I predict the biggest seller will be the grill mat

    Does anyone know what the earned free products were at different levels? I got the skillet for my December sales but my one January show, with host that always has over $1,000 was $371 (and there were like 15 people who ate a lot at the show! )

    Strongly dislike the new Tool Turn around! It is small, there is no Center spot to stand my chopper in and every time I go to pick the thing up I pull the Center section out! Restyle FAIL!:(

    I totally agree and have also had to trash my quicksicle maker due to leakage! UGH!! Bring me a crinkle cutter and a quik-cut paring knife!

    I see the quicksicle maker has been worked on. Let us know how the replacement is!
