For those of you that have these bowls, do you take the all 3 or just one. I'm trying to slim down on what I take to shows and wondered about them.
 
I used to take just one, but people really get excited about it when I tell and show them how they can nest for easy storage. These products need to be seen to be truly appreciated...in my opinion. The cost makes people skip over them in the catalog, but if you take a minute or two to illustrate their greatness you could sell a bunch. I am always sure to mention that they are generational pieces. I ask them to think back to their mom's kitchen...I bet she has a set of SSbowls that she's had for YEARS. They are in perfect condition because they are durable essential kitchen items. Then I point out the upgraded features of ours i.e. non-skid grip bottom, lids that fit snugly, thumb hole, pour spout, and measurments printed on the inside not to mention the fact that they nest!

I would recommend finding another way to skim down. I sell a ton of these bowls. At almost $70 it is a good item to bring if you can fit them in.
 
I usually just take the small one unless there is something large I am mixing. The largest one definately takes up a lot of room even with stacking things inside. I just make sure to let them know that they nest inside each other and definately bring the lids. People still seem to love them once they see it. FYI. The colander set and SS mixing bowls can stack inside each other if you alternate them to save on kitchen space. I just got mine and was wondering how I was going to fit it all in :).

I take all 3 of mine all of the time...I use the large one as a "trash" bowl (just like what Rachel Ray does), use the small one for ticket drawings and the medium one for give aways...I figure if there is one product that I want to be in the hands of the guests the most then SS Bowls are it, not only are the a great product but a great boost for sales.
 
I take all three and wrap them in a pretty bow for the season...white thulle if I want to attract brides...red white and blue to get thinking about entertaining this summer and so on. I have used the bowls alot and what I like to tell everyone that is great about them is using them with your kids. They can take pleasure helping you and you can take pleasure knowing that when they help mix, the bowl won't end up on the floor. The gripping bottom is a very nice feature!
 
I only take one and it's usually the small one to save on space. I also only take one of any of my items that have a grouping like the Easy Read Measuring Cups. I may have to try and take all three of the SS bowls sometime to see if there is a difference in interested buyers :rolleyes:
 
I take all three. . .I don't carry my batter bowl anymore (unless I have something to microwave and I don't want to use a microcooker). This gives me two bowls to use for a recipe and one to pass. They aren't as heavy as the glass.

Okay, to my show yesterday I decided to take all the SS bowls. I sold 3 sets and got one host signed up for August because she wanted the big one too!! :eek:
 
Way To Go Desiree!!!!!!!!!!!:d :d :d :d :d
 
Okay I'm convinced to take the whole set with me!
 
I only take the small one and I don't sell that many of them - so maybe I'll start taking more of them.

Thanks for sharing all!
 
I do like soonerchef, I take all three most of the time and use the biggest one as my garbage bowl. I pretty much never use my batter bowls at shows anymore simply because I like the SS ones better. I don't have to worry about them breaking either!

Since I bring my show ingredients, it's been great to use all three bowls in my recipe(s). I'll bring already processed ingredients IN the bowl in many cases.
