I'm going to tweak it to include the new RuH trivet, it is designed for the DCB!!!




QUOTE=Di_Can_Cook;666048]Hmmmmm.....

I'm glad they are restyling the cookie press and kitchen shears .... I get a lot of complaints on those two items. Now if they would only make the egg slicer more sturdy ...

How, oh how, does one RICE a potato?

I'll have to tweak the DCB bundle ... I don't throw in a free pocket thermometer but I might throw in something else and replace the salad choppers with those two.

I got three sets of bamboo toaster tongs in my $10 surprise box ... maybe I'll toss one in with every ice bucket sold.[/QUOTE]

I think the dots glasses are cute but I will never sell any. I am in the center of the bible belt ;) I was soooo hoping for some dots tumblers or iced tea glasses. I get asked for that all the time. I sent a product request to HO, so maybe next season!

Now, there's some dots items I could sell here for sure! Great idea!
 
I love the looks of the new Trivet! Very Elegant and pretty!
 
The martini glasses are cute....just a bit thicker than the wine glasses, but not much. For the non-drinkers, they are adorable for appetizers or desserts. They have a pic of ceviche served in the martini glasses, and it looks great. Much more versatile than the wine glasses.

The shaker can also be used for protein shakes, mixing powdered drinks, making non alcoholic mixes.

I would love tumblers in the dots pattern.
 
I too would like to know how to "Rice" a potato. What does that mean, and what is the end result? Why do this? Very curious!
 
They did a demo of using it as a potato ricer. What you do is cut and boil your potatoes like normal for making mashed potatoes. Then you just put the cooked potatoes in the cookie press and crank them out. They'll be perfect for smooth, creamy mashed potatoes. After the guy was done getting them through the ricer blade, he just added milk and butter and then used the masher and put out mashed potatoes super easily and fast.
 
When you rice a potato, you cook it first (like you are going to mash them) and then push them through something with very small holes. It REALLY makes fine pieces...and then you just fold in your milk, butter, salt and pepper GENTLY and you have the best mashed potatoes! Here is a link.... How to Use a Potato Ricer | eHow.com

Does anyone have the list of new recipes for the season? I read through, and don't know if I missed them or they weren't listed.

I love the idea of using them as dessert type cups! :) I'm not a martini drinker so this is a GREAT idea!

Shucks...:blushing: You're very welcome. :D

We'll have to see how they bundle things together. We do get to buy samples at 50% off, but sometimes they group certain items together so if you have a couple things in mind, you might have to get a few that maybe you weren't necessarily intending to get. They do put some things by themselves that we can get, but there will be groupings. And it did vary from the SAT groupings that were set up last time, so I'm curious what they do. I have a huge wish list for this season! :D

We'll find out when we get our changeover kits and look at the order forms. They usually do not announce this.

Thanks Debbie.

I thought last year they made announcement that they were not going to raise shipping. I will watch for my change over kit.
 
They did announce it last year. I believe they would have let us know if it were going up.
