Packing SA & Cookware: Tips to Protect 8" Saute Pan

[stefani2]

Does anyone have any ideas what is the best way to pack up SA and Cookware in their Kit? My 8" saute pan is marked from it banging up again my Small Bowl Caddy.......

I use the cookware protectors around by SA to prevent scratching.

I wrap alot of my stuff in kitchen towels.

Well, I have thought of BOTH - Cookware Protectors AND Kitchen Towels - but I was wondering if they fall off? I generally 'stand up' my Saute Pan - so I just figured that they wouldn't help much

If you sew (but if you don't ask someone), buy quilted fabric and make a bag/pouch to fit the product you need protection - you can a flap that goes over or do it with a draw string - you can even make ones for the seasons/holidays time of the year

I have done a few and they work well

That's a great idea, Teresa. If only I could sew...

It is so simple because you are only sewing straight lines. You can buy fabric that doesn't need heming or whatever you all that. you can let the edges show and they don't look bad.

If you know exact what size you need - you can take the measurements to your local sewing store and ask them to cut the fabric to size and then just sew your straight lines

They don't have to be perfect - because you are the only one who will see them.

Before we could earn the cookware bags (the nice ones with the draw string bags), I took an old fleece blanket and cut it up and sewed "pockets" to fit different pieces of cookware.

I use the cookware bags. They should really offer those on supply order.

me too and I have had no problems. I also hardly carry anything with me anyone, just teh bascis for my demo, the monthly special and a few most popular items. I refuse to sclep all of it with me. If it all can't fit into my rolling tote ( laptop, catalogs~ all of it) then it doesn't go.

oh and I have the padded envelopes which are nice.

I went to Michaels and bought some of those small "reusable grocery bags" for less than a dollar each and my 8" saute pans fit in them perfectly!! You can also look for some smaller canvas bags in the aisle where you use fabric paint. Really you could go anywhere for those bags. Target has a bunch that are a little larger for 99 cents.

thank you for all the suggestions. I appreciate it.

These are great. I hope that they become available to consultants in March.

I store my Small Bowl Caddy in its original box and carry it to shows that way. I can safely leave the bowls in the caddy and stuff other items in the box so that the extra space is utilized.
