Should the Special Edition Consultant News Be Posted Here?

[janezapchef]

Do we have any idea when this SECN is coming out??? We didn't receive it at the Columbus Spring Launch. I really think this Feb. launch is too late -- too close to March. I already feel rushed!

 

[janezapchef]

Nevermind. It'll be in the changeover box. Duh!

 

[NooraK]

Yes, and it'll be posted on CC on Monday.

I just tested it. Once you type in the password, click on the down arrow at the far right of the title that you are downloading. Then it takes you to a screen that wants to know if you want to download my file or their toolbar. My file is the green rectangle. When you click on it, it takes you to a big box with a countdown (so you have to sit there & look at their sponsor ads while you wait) and then a clickable link at the end of the download. After I clicked again my windows popped up a box asking if I wanted to view it or save it to my computer. I chose "view" and it's currently at 40% opening the file to view. Hope that helps.

That is what I did and then after it went through the time the link that popped back up just said click here to download and then went back through the same cycle. I have tried several times and the same thing keeps happening!

It might be the settings on your computer. It's showing to have been downloaded NUMEROUS times since I posted it, so I know it's working for other Consultants. If you want to e-mail me, we can try it that way, but it's a fairly large size & might be too big for some e-mail servers. My e-mail address is in my signature.

I was able to download it just fine (thanks, Sheila!). I did have to enter the password twice and go through a couple of screens but it did work.....

 

[darlinclem]

Denver didn't get the batter bowl lids either. Maybe they will be in the changeover kits?

I was able to download it just fine (thanks, Sheila!). I did have to enter the password twice and go through a couple of screens but it did work.....

Yes, there are several screens and the password twice. I got it in the matter of seconds though! THANKS!

Really hoping they come through with the batter bowl lid's! I've never had a customer complain, and many of them laugh at me... but I seem to keep breaking my lids!

 

[babywings76]

I got it to download. It took a little time figuring out what to click and I think I did it twice. But then it finally opened after a couple minutes and did it twice. Thanks, Sheila!

 

[cookingwithdot]

I hope we get the lids - that would really be exciting .... so I'm wondering if they are like the lids for the stainless steel bowls? At least it says we can order them too! I hate those hard lids!

 

[PamperedChefLayla]

I was disappointed the SECN wasn't passed out at the Spring Launch. I was sure they would have one for everyone.

That is what I was thinking and I still have not gotten my Feb CN in the mail grrrr

 

[PamperedChefLayla]

I went to Baltimore and did not get a lid either

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

Found it!

New and Improved
Batter Bowl Lids
Our new Batter Bowl lids fit better than before,
because they are now made of the same material
as the Trifle Bowl lid. Spring Launch attendees
received a set of new lids for free! For those who
did not attend a Spring Launch meeting, new lids
are available for purchase on the Replacement
Parts Order Form beginning Feb. 1. Also beginning
Feb. 1, Batter Bowl orders and New Consultant Kits
will ship with the new lids.

Nope, no lids in Columbus. I too think they will send them to us. My guess is they weren't ready in time.

Ugh! I hope they don't fit like the Triffle Bowl lids! I HATE that lid more than the batter bowl lid. At least the batter bowl lid stays on your item. Ever have a triffle spill because the lid was not secured?

 

[kristina16marie]

no lids in houston either!

 

[NooraK]

One thing to remember is that this SECN was the one posted on CC (accidentally) at the beginning of January. A lot of things can change in a month, maybe the lids didn't meet final quality standards or something

 

[pampered1224]

No lids in Chicago yesterday either. Too weird. I never even heard about a change to the lids at all. Maybe they decided not too???

 

[pcchefjane]

Finally got it to download! Thanks so much!

 

[Sheila]

Sorry about all the screens you guys & girls are having to go through to get it! That's the downside to a free site. I promise it's THEM, not me doing that to you.

 

[baychef]

That link you posted is no longer valid! Hmmm...they didn't tell us any price changes but I guess if we go through the catalog, we'll find them! Oh well! Time to update the "Pampered Sets Brochure" again! LOL!

It is valid because I just downloaded it...thanks Sneila! The first time I logged on I thought the same but realized that I clicked so fast, I did not see the password to open it all!! I was kinda in a hurry..you know like a kid at Christmas..I went to Spring Launch!

 

[Jen1409]

Sheila, have you tried google docs, that one is pretty easy to work with

 

[ChefBeckyD]

The Special Edition CN is on CC now.

 

[Sheila]

I'm trying to check to see if it's the same version, but it's taking FOREVER to upload! LOL

 

[jmwhitworth]

I bet the lids did not pass the test kitchen because several recipes call for you to place lid on batter bowl and cook in microwave (ex. White Chicken Chili). If it was made like the trifle bowl lid then that would NOT be possible.

 

[NooraK]

Yep, this version of SECN doesn't say anything about the Batter Bowl lids.

 

[Becca_in_MD]

You can see where they covered it up with the chef's hat. I bet this change in the print job is why we didn't get a hard copy at Launch. Thanks for all of the intrigue everybody!

I'm surprised we still don't know what the May host special is.

 

[babywings76]

Notice that they did indeed take out the mention of new batter bowl lids. Must not have met their standards, or weren't ready in time or something.ETA:Okay, yet again I post useless comments. :blushing: (had I refreshed my browser...)

 

[JennLizFran]

I'm pretty sure the May host special is always the HWC items. (This is my first time as a consultant, but as a past host, that's what I recall)

 

[Becca_in_MD]

Yes, May is HWC but we don't know which items are 60% off for hosts. They usually do something that's not HWC as an option, too.

 

[Sheila]

I agree, they usually have HWC items that are only available to hosts & then items that can be purchased by hosts or guests. I guess we shall see what pops up in the next few weeks! LOL

 

[JennLizFran]

Oh, see I should wait and see what the experts have to say.....

I'm so hoping we don't get anymore snow here, I'm getting cabin fever! And if the weather keeps up Fed-Ex will never deliver to me!
