I am curious to see what you liked/didn't when you actually saw the products and handled them.
:thumbup: Here are my hits:
I was SO pleasantly surprised when I saw the martini glasses in person and held them. They are *so* nice. I never would have thought I'd like them as much as I do. And they are quite large for martini glasses...I'll bet they hold at least twice as much as mine. I can't wait to give them (with the shaker) as a gift.
I liked the insulated quality of the shaker a lot. In my glass shaker, the ice inside melts really fast. I am guessing this will be better although i haven't used it.
Anyone who has read any of my posts knows I love the plates. :blushing:
The shears won me over when I handled them in person, and I wanted the prep bowls so I ordered package C.
The recipe cards and appetizer cookbook are great.
I was excited about the quality of the cookie press. I liked the metal discs. I have never made pressed cookies, but I can't wait.
The digital thermometer looked awesome. I don't own it, but handling it made me want to sometime in the future.
:thumbdown: These missed for me:
The measuring cups. I hope I am wrong, but they seem like they will get really scratched up and look schlocky rather quickly.
The cookie sheet. Scratches way too easily. Couldn't they have textured it or put a different finish or something?
The magnet. FAB idea, needs work on the execution. Wish it held to textured surfaces.
Ice bucket. Another awesome idea, but it's kind of awkward execution-wise and I am not yet convinced it's worth the $$.
Stainless colanders seem to me like they would be an absolute nightmare to clean, but I don't know this firsthand.
Love the look of the beaded handles, but I find them way too impractical.
What are your thoughts now that you have some of the products or have seen them at your cluster meeting??
