Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*One of my January hosts got the Corn and Veggie brush already by accident with the rest of her show items. It was in place of a guest ordered item. She called the HO and they are shipping the right item (veggie wedger) to the customer and letting the host keep the brush. She called me about it after calling the HO (dream customer, followed the directions by calling HO first!) and asked me if I'd heard of it. I told her that it sounded like she got a sneak peek. This was a week ago, and now that I'm reading this thread, I was right :)
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*I thought it was weird that they show the microwave chip maker set being discontinued, but there is a microwave chip maker set w/a different rub in the new catalog. Kind of weird.

That is just a link to Youtube. If there is a video, I don't know where to find it.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*I just read last night...maybe on pinterest but I can't remember...about cooking eggs in the oven in a muffin pan.

I know you said the egg pan had deeper wells and its round, but is that the only differences from a regular muffin tin? Why would you need it if you had a muffin tin?

ETA: Thanks so much for this thread. I couldn't go to Launch. It is nice to see a thread of this nature without all the bickering and hatefulness that usually comes with it.

I saw on Pinterest the talk of using a muffin pan. In the picture they are leaving the egg whole. The difference with our egg cooker is that the circles are wider so the egg will spread out bigger and then be thinner and cook faster. Also, because it's stoneware, it will cook waaaay nicer than in a metal muffin pan. ;). Also the main indicated use of this is for the microwave and so stoneware will work where a metal pan won't.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*I cannot picture the egg cooker. I also cannot imagine cooking eggs in the microwave. Or how on earth that would be helpful for a show.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*We have cooked eggs at my house for decades. We use the Grab It bowls from Pyrex. Spray with Pam crack an egg or two, add some milk and salt and pepper- mix. Cook for a minute or two. Add a slice of cheese. Cook 10-15 seconds more. My kids did their own from upper elementary school til they left home. I'm interested to see how the Egg Cooker is different or similar.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*I knew that people were using our Prep Bowls to cook eggs in the microwave. I hadn't gotten around to trying that yet. I'm curious also about this new product.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*SPOILER - Big time. This is from our CDN Launch and may differ somewhat for US. I have in my possession the "Garlic Smash & Paste" - great dissappointment with this tool, I'm sure it will work fine for what it is intended to do -but really garlic is done to death with this addition. Have tried the new Egg Cooker (Stoneware), fits microwave does an excellent job and will be able to sell this well, has inspired some creative ideas too. Will have to wait until 11th to submit order for other items. Definately going to get the second stoneware - single serving pan, was surprised at how light it was, the corn/skewer rack is a must addition to BBQ line, four new rubs- tex-mex, 3 onion, sweet basil, ginger citrus, they have added 8cm saute to s/s 7 to make 8, vol 3 29min dinners, cooking tools reworked 6 set, 2 sizes of boil over no more - a must in my house when the guys cook- they love HI, microwave grips - great for those of us with small hands and short arms, bean slicer cute and very handy, ginger grater hmm no actual metal blade all plastic and so many of our existing tools will do the job, Cheese - easy release cheese knife, cheese shaver, cheese crumbler - think they overdid this one too, fruit and cheese cutter - woohoo, stamps out shapes(4) a must have for me I love to entertain and decorate the table with edibles - wonderful thing for shows too, simply white sugar bowl & creamer set, salt and pepper set great for the simply white lovers, scoop and spear - should sell I'm getting one, yeah drink rimmer set - didn't need the citrus cone on top but stacking rimmer saver will work at our parties, silicone prep bowls - hmm maybe, will reserve on that one, added scoop and spread to specialty scrapers, set of 2 Flexible Openers yup they'll sell not too exciting, fresh lasting lid system - maybe(2 lids and plunger)need to dwell on that one a little, baking soda holder with thermometer - definately 1 in each refrigerator - ouch that will be a lot - 5 fridges, loving the On The Go gourping - insulated collapsible picnic basket, insulated cooler(6pk size) insulated tote and insulated lunch tote - expect to see you southern dwellers do great things with these, gluten free cookbook - hope they have enough printed, seasons best I always love. Now the tea stuff, preface with I am a die hard coffee person tea is for when you are ill, the Bird Infuser - very ketch, more bother than its worth not something for considerate purchasers, minute sand timer thingy ok I find that a time waster, Tea infusion Pitcher hmm multiple use, not limited to tea nice insulating clothing price point likely to make it a difficult sell. Well thats my initial reaction and report will be interested to read your take
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*Thanks for your reviews! Interesting that the U.S. and Canada are totally the same except for the $$. I remember when you guys were behind us. We'd love to have more members from Canada- share the word.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*Hey Deb, be careful what you wish for. Our Cdn product line is not exactly the same, we lack some of the products you have. We lack some of the spice blends, drink mixes and a couple of other items, looks like we are getting more and more similar however.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*I might have missed this somewhere, sorry if someone already asked! But has anyone seen a sample package list? Last year it was included with launch packet.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*No- must be coming in our changeover boxes.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*Wait – is the gluten free cookbook not going to be available in Canada? :(

The talk on Pinterest about using the muffin pan in the oven is for hard-boiled eggs.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*All info I have says that won't be available until 11th, and I've been checking PP regularly

We're all busy up here taking pictures of the snow as it piles up. Where in our world is Weslasco (sp?):balloon:
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*The pinterest idea I saw was for "fried" eggs, not boiled. They were suggesting it for breakfast sandwiches. They used a metal pan, but our stoneware muffin pan would also work. I'm interested in seeing our new egg pan to see how much it is different.

But aren't the batter uobowls w pink lids for hosts only? If they are for everyone then I am more excited.

Yes, Batter bowls with pink lids are for host's only!
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*I don't recall seeing the second piece of stoneware. Aren't there two new pieces? Also, is there a picture of the silicone prep bowls?
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*My slides are almost done & will be on my Facebook page tomorrow (after all the launch attendees have seen the new items). Anyone who wants to steal those are welcome to do so. Just be sure to save them to your computer & re-post! You don't want to link your customers to my Facebook business page. ;)/SheilaLovesPCETA: I'm dong them 8.5" X 11" ~ so you can print them & put them in a binder to take to upcoming shows & entice March bookings! ;)
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*Does anyone have a Going Going Gone flyer done? Like in the next 15 minutes?? :) I have a vendor fair today and realized that I should have that out for people to know.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*Does anyone have the breakdown of each Level we earned? I am interested to hear what free products are in each level!! Also - what other freebies did we get for going to the launch & 2 shows? Please share!
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*They did not give that to us.....hopefully they will post Monday morning. We received the microwave egg stoneware piece for going to launch and for 2 shows you will receive the 6 individual serving piece of stoneware.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*I was sad they didn't give that list to us at launch...I loved seeing what I was getting as they showed us the products last year
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*Can someone post the HWC products.
 
Re: *SPOILER* Spring Launch Product Discussion *SPOILER*I just saw a picture of the Launch stoneware piece and at first glance (before knowing it was stoneware and from Launch), honestly thought it was a dog dish!
