Will the Cheese Knife and the Cheese Plane still be available as a set?
 
Yes, the knife and plane are available as a set.

thanks; that's just perfect! :)
 
I'm not happy that the stoneware lids are being discontinued. They were an excellent add on to my sales of stones, and no-one is going to order the stoneware tote now that there isn't a lid.

Cindy,

Where did you get these pics? They're the perfect size for the flowers I make for my bridal shows and I would like to print the current/new products too!

Thanks!
 
WOW!! Why are they discontinuing the baker lids??? I dont get it. Also why are they getting rid of the SA essentials set??
 
I'm shocked at the discontinuation of the digi. thermometer and the Rec. lid/bowl! Now we won't have any stones to flip over for covered baking! Interesting....
 
I think I have made it quite clear on this board that I am also BLOWN AWAY by the digital thermometer being discontinued. They are one of my top 10 items and I don't even have one....yet!
 
can you put it in word?

Oooooh - hadn't thought of that!
 
My only hope is that they are enhancing some of these disc. items.....they always tend to listen when the masses revolt against something! :p
 
I was never really happy with the lids. I have the rattan server for the rectangle baker and the lid does not fit on the baker if it is in the rattan server. Kind of useless if you ask me, I really thought it would be great for potlucks and church suppers but is does not work together.
 
thanks for sharing your hard work!
 
Were you happy with the lid if you weren't trying to use the serving basket? I'm trying to decide if I should order one....What about the one for the round deep dish baker (unglazed). What are your thoughts about it?Many thanks!
 
The lids....My lid always pops off. I don't use it or like it much:( .
 
Love the Deep Dish Baker LidI love my Deep Dish Baker Lid, but could never get the rectangle lid to work right, with or without the Woven Selection.

My theory on them discontinuing these two items is that most people have absolutely fallen head over heels for press and seal. Unless you're transporting something HOT, there is really no need for the lids any more, and foil works great if it's hot.

Me, personally, I love the DDB lid, especially for the Tres Leches cake. I'll miss that product in my line!
