ARGH!
I am not good at making decisions. I have a buncha POR points and can't decide what to do with them.
I have just over 1700 points.
The thing is - I have MOST of the stuff that is offered...and the few things I don't have, I am not sure I want.
I have the 7pc Exec set, I have the Exec stir fry, 12", grill pan & press, double griddle, 8" saute pan. And I have the SS 8"m 1.5qt and 12" covered.
Of the items that are left...(Exec 12qt stockpot, Exec 11" griddle, SS 10" saute...what do you recommend? Which of those do you love?
 
I don't have it, but I would think you would like having the Exec. 12 qt. stockpot.
 
Do you have the Exec 5 piece set? You don't HAVE to redeem points now, you have until the end of December so wait a month or so then decide - who knows how many more you might earn in the next 2 months.
 
I'm with Janet. Of course, if you're determined to get instant gratification, I think the 12 qt stockpot would be great.

After talking it over with DH I think I am going to wait ti lthe end to cash in -- and then I'll use my points to buy him some cookware for Xmas - LOL
 
There you go. Problem solved.
 
I was going to stay the 12 qt stockpot as well. I got it 2 weeks ago but haven't used it yet!:o
 
I got the 12qt today! HOLY CRAP!!! What am I going to cook in it??? :0) I wish it was cool already and I'd make some chicken and dumplings....

We have an enormous stock pot that DH uses to make huge batches of soups, stews and chilis. Although the PC one is smaller, he wants it because it is a nmuch better quality than the one we currently have. So I will probably be getting that one for him.
 
I so have the same problem as you Carolyn! I have 1732ish I think and don't even know what to get??? I have all the exec I need and the 8" SS saute is the only SS piece I have so I was thinkin the 10" SS saute but am not positive yet? I have two 12" skillets so I don't want or need another one. I"m going crazy figuring out what to get??
