soWhats Your Favorite New Product?

[rkcreations]

Loving the Thai rub!!!! Cake stand (I bake a LOT of cakes!!) and the 3 tire tower!!!

 

[Bren706]

I also had a person or two asking for the metal muffin pans, so I will be happy to call them at the end of the month .

My favorite products were the Dots Beverage Glasses, the Grilling Tray (still need to get the basket!!!), the salad claws and the rubs and spices.

I am more excited for this selling season than I was the past two seasons. Wahoo!

 

[Intrepid_Chef]

I'm really excited about the grill tray and SO GLAD I won December SAT instead of November! I think the claws look interesting, but try fitting them in a tool turn about!

There were a lot of applause when they announced the double boiler.

I'm glad about the metal loaf pan and muffin tin.

I'm not too kicked in the head with the three tiered tray but I think it will sell to all those people who look at the three tiered stand and then say, "Um, wait, I have to buy all those bowls and plates too?

 

[sarahsellcm]

I am VERY excited about the Dots Glass Cups. I am also excited about the new sprinkles. The apple sprinkle is AMAZING!!!!

I would like to see them introduce a lid for the cake stand next ... what about those of us who have leftovers?

I agree, I would love to have a lid for it!

The new pitchers seem to look the same and somewhere I read that maybe we could put hot liquid in them now...so are they thicker? Do they feel different? Are they made out of a different material?

The dots pattern on the pitchers matches the ice bucket now. I had never noticed the dots not matching before. On the restyled pitchers, the larger dots are on the bottom and they get smaller as they go up the side of the pitcher. I don't think the dots reach the top of the pitcher. I didn't notice a difference in the feel of the pitchers.

Love the tiered stand. It will fit on my counter under the cabinet.

OH! That just gave me an idea for an alternative use for it! It could be for holding fruits and/or vegetables like tomatoes, onions, etc.!

 

[Chefstover2]

The cool thing is that you will be able to order just the plunger (probably on replacement parts) to upgrade your old pitcher!

I was excited to hear that, too!

I completely agree..that is the only thing that I don't like about it.

I'm excited for the three tiered stand. My mom went searching all over for those a few years back to find one she liked, that disassembled and was cheap enough. She found one but it was still pretty pricey so she only bought one. I like it alot more than the old three tiered stand because you don't have to buy everything separately, it's smaller, and stores alot more compactly.

And I LOVE the bigger bamboo snack bowls! I got the other ones and was like "uh....what?". I never use entertainment stuff like that with few enough people for those little ones to have enough in them. I can use these bigger ones for toppings and dips now.

We just moved into a house (from an apartment) and are saving up for a BBQ so I'm SUPER excited to get all the BBQ stuff and try it all out. I have a host wanting to do a grill theme party in April so I'm excited we came out with new grill tools.

 

[raebates]

I'm excited about it all! Can't wait to get my stuff so I can start playing with everything. Well, to be honest, the sauces aren't ones that appeal to me. However, I know my customers are going to love them. I'm planning to pour the Raspberry Habanero over cream cheese and offer the Chili Pepper with tortilla chip strips.

 

[jj16]

I really liked the salad claws, the new pitcher, the sauces and rubs. I am really excited about some of the recipes in the new Season's Best. Can't wait to get home to try them.I won the 3 tiered stand but so far I just haven't used things like that too much so I may just use it as a host incentive or something to that effect.

Where did you hear that?! :thumbup:

Me too - I loved the new line-up! BUT, I am withholding my opinion on the new sauces until I sample them. The Chili Pepper sauce, I'm thinking, looks and sounds like salsa...and if that's the case, I can't imagine paying $12 for a jar of salsa.

I am totally geeked about the new sprinkles...and I :love:LOVE:love:the HWC selections this year! I can sell twixits and sprinkles to every guest, I'm sure! The tomato knife will be an easy sell too....and I'm glad that there is a free with purchase item, also.

They said that at Spring Launch.

 

[heat123]

Cake stand, dots glasses and cookbook and spices!

 

[Lisa/ChefBear]

I can't imagine being able to put HOT liquids in current QSP and have it not melt or get cold quickly. Have to wait and see when my new ones arrive.

I wouldn't expect it to hold heat for very long, but withstanding heat allows you to make iced tea or iced coffee from freshly brewed tea/coffee, which makes for better flavor.

It's not just the plunger though that's changed, right? I thought the actual pitcher was different too.

The only thing that changed with the pitcher is the dots design.

 

[crystalscookingnow]

Why then are they now making such a big deal out of the hot liquid being able to be used? I'm confused. Doesn't take much.

Because the plunger before couldn't handle the hot liquid. It would warp. Now it can! Didn't I read that we can now order replacement plungers too?

 

[crystalscookingnow]

gotcha. Thanks!

 

[heather223]

I'm also excited about this because a LOT of people have asked if we have a metal muffin pan and loaf pan. Most of my customer base is older and lifting stoneware is NOT something on their "wish to do" list. Now instead of saying "we don't have that, sorry" now I can say "Yes! We do, in fact those were just introduced!" I'm pretty excited about that.

Personally I'm really excited about the Cake Pedestal and the Pink Dots Glasses. I earned the Pedestal already because I signed up in November and qualified in my 1st 30 days and as of next Monday, I'll have earned the HWC products.
SOO excited!

I had a customer ask me about a metal muffin pan at my show on Sunday, told her it is coming out in March and got a booking because of it!! WAHOO!

I like all the new products!

 

[straitfan]

I would like to see them introduce a lid for the cake stand next ... what about those of us who have leftovers?

YES!! Or what about if we arent' serving our beautiful frosted cake at home and need to take it somewhere?

 

[esavvymom]

YES!! Or what about if we arent' serving our beautiful frosted cake at home and need to take it somewhere?

That's what I said when they showed it at the meeting. When she unscrewed the platter from the base, and they said "It makes for easy transport!". I said- "why would I transport it? My cake would be exposed!" That's still my #1 product-wish for our Entertaining-line...some things to TRANSPORT our food on/in using our beautiful platters!But other than that, I'm not sure what my favorite will be. Nothing jumps out as "I HAVE TO USE THAT"...but I do really like all that they came out with. The Bamboo Claws will probably be one, and definitely the BBQ tools/tray. We'll use those the most for sure! The metal bakeware additions are very nice...but I use my stones more.I am planning on getting ALL of the samples this year though...which is the first time in 3-changeovers! I earned the BBQ Grill Tray, but I'm going to keep that at home- since it won't be as pretty after using it! I was happy to see that my january Commission check was just about the exact amount needed to pay for it all too!

I don't know where it's written from PC, but this is what I got from an Executive Director:

The new Pitcher has been updated to blend hot beverages too. The first question your customer will ask is about her old Quick Stir Pitcher. The old Quick Stir Pitcher (the pitcher) itself CAN handle hot beverages. The plunger cannot. But good news….starting March 1, you can order an updated replacement plungers on Replacement Parts on P3! This will be a great value-added customer service you can offer those who don’t need a brand new pitcher!! The plungers will be $4.50 for the small one, $7.50 for the family size one.

Again that would only be a concern for those wanting to use the Pitcher for HOT beverages. As a customer I only use mine for cold. So no worries here.

question: at shows, how do you add the pink products to the current show so the host can get credit and have the items shipped to her? do you have to separate the two?? I love the new pink products too
