I would like to know what everyone is thinking about the new products as far as tips they are going to be using at their shows. For example:

A guest told me they thought the new collapable bowl would make a great dog food dish because it would not slide around.

Lets see where this goes. Thanks.

I'm registered for the Product Idea Exchange teleclass tomorrow, noon central time.

I'll take notes & post back.
 
Well, personally the first time I saw the green mini cutting board and paring knife I instantly thought how wonderful it'll be for camping and likewise for RVs and campers. Where space is limited but you still need good quality food prep items. I'm sure the collapsible bowl would be great for that too. And the party sticks would be great for lighting a campsite with candles as well as keep drinks from being kicked over.
 
The large sheet pan is great to create a flat area for appliances. I don't have a lot of counter room, so I put it upside down over the burners on my stove to make a spot for my slow cooker.
 
What a GREAT idea Ann!!
 
I used the medium sheet pan as a lap board the other night!
 
I was at a booth today and my director mentioned using the collapsible bowl with shrimp ****tail. She had it collapsed and flipped it over. The bottom of the bowl is where the ****tail sauce bowl would go. Then around the rim you can hang the shrimp. If you wanted you could even put ice in the well around the bowl.
I thought it was a great idea. The bowl was well received by many!
 
I'm LOL because the censors are censoring shrimp co cktail and it took me a few to figure out what the censored word was.
