I would love one



I wish there were tongs too. We used it on NYE and it sucked without tongs

I've been using one of the smaller of the new clear dry measuring cups as a scoop and it's been working great!

I've been doing this too! Works wonderfully. :)
 
Would love to see a rack/organizer for all my PC spices! A lid for the roasting pan. A mini DCB would be fun! Ummmmm.... that's all I can think of right this moment!
 
I'd like to see a coffee maker and coffee, even if only single cup
sst box grater with all the sides the cheap ones have - we could sell tons of those.
recipe box to match knife holder, i'm also for a 3-4 prong bamboo fork, hard to find.
more recipe books please... these help customers want what they tell you to use for the recipe.
 
A mini DCB would be fantastic! It would work for those of us who don't have a microwave big enough to handle the DCB.
 
I am a long time reader, but never posted before. This one is too good to pass up. I would love to see a 12 cup batter bowl. Sometimes the Classic one is just not beig enough, ya know??? And I agree with dots glasses too.
 
Did anyone notice the new Seasons Best pictured on the new recruting flyer? I think it shows taco's. Take a peek - What do you think?

I was sent a pack and noticed it.
 
I agree= looks like tacos with a slice of lime. Same cranberry writing.
 
oohhhh Kim
very observant..I wouldn't have thought to look at that..interesting
 
Which flyer are you talking about? The one I saw on CC still has the old Seasons Best.
 
The opportunity brochures that were sent this week for recruiting 2 new consultants in the last 6 months.
 
I would be thrilled to see a mini Deep Covered Baker - I have got to three shows, planning to do chicken and baker wouldn't fit - with or without lid! (And how many people have campers with tiny microwaves). PChef needs to step up and downsize one! I'm keeping my fingers crossed. (Sold 35 DCB since August!)
 
I would love more Power Cooking recipes! Maybe even a Power Cooking recipe book?
 
here are my suggestions ...

*garlic keeper
*dinner glasses clear w/ dots or clear with crandberry ring around the top
*metal tongs - like the ones you can get at walmart
*silverware - with chef's hat/s on the handle of each piece
*larger grill basket
*more seasonings for grilling and fish recipes like a blackening spice
*vegetable or olive oil (rachael ray has her own why can't we?) lol
*BRING BACK THE CAKE TESTER
*pet treats - i know it sounds weird but we're always talking about pampering businesses so why not sell a gourmet type of pet treat so that our poochies feel pampered, too? :) is that reaching? lol
 
I would like to see tumblers with dots (little heavier than martini & wine glasses), cherry pitter back, bamboo lazy susan, the cook book idea for specific products sounds great. I would also like to see a cookbook with all the recipes from over the years (first or best of the first 30 years). Sugar, Creamer, Butter dish for Simple Additions( maybe with dots) 9x13 metal pan. I love everything I have and can't wait to see whats next!!!!!!

So glad to see someone else wants the cake tester back!!! I lost my in a crack in my oven for a few months and went nuts. when they came out for HWC, I bought a bunch ( to have an extra andfor gifts).
Don't know about the dog treats though and I have a dog.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the flat ware idea. If not with chef hats (just for consultant) then with the dots pattern, not a painted on color but some how work it into the design
.:chef:
 
I think it would be neat to have a "Miracle Chicken" seasoning blend!!! Those would sell like HOTCAKES.

I am totally down for a smaller DCB as well!!!! That would really open us up to a larger market if that were to happen :sing:

I love this idea... it does not fit in my microwave. This would be amazing!!
 
Yes to a small dcb !!!!!! I have been asked about a round cooling rack, that would be great, a customer of mine has her own restaurant she could really use these for, a dcb cookbook would be a hot seller & save us all from printing a small one for our customers, special edition of older seasons bests for newer cooks who never had a chance to get those, more cookbooks like the power cooking, etc, my people love cookbooks !!!!!
 
Also, my customers are asking for more Bamboo.....like small, medium, large round bowls, big salad bowl, and more spices !!!!!!!!!
 
I LOVE the idea of a mini DCB.
I have SO many customers ask me if the mini baker came with a cover so they could use it like a DCB.
 
I'd like some nice salad tongs. Ones that aren't green and plastic. :DAnd I'd like them to redesign the timer. Mine is hard to use with one hand. It's on the fridge and when I go to touch the buttons, I have to push hard enough that it makes it fall off the fridge. Then the magnet breaks. So now it wiggles on the fridge.

You could use the beaded serving set as salad tongs for a dinner party.

I'd like a mini hot pad. I have one that you just put your fingers in. It's perfect for a tea pot or taking the lid off the DCB.

I'd also like to see a cookie cutter in the shape of a chef's hat - even if just as a consultant promotion or on the supply order or Merrill...

Yeah, that's what I currently do. But they are a little too formal for some occasions, they are a bit big, and I can't put them in the dishwasher. If I don't use the beaded set, then I use the Chef's Tongs, but again they are a bit big and when people use them and leave them open, they are too wide to easily set down. I know...I'm picky. :D

How about the Bamboo Tongs. I use those sometimes. ...actually I usually use the old "3-way tongs" that are currently in the outlet most of the time. They're plastic but clear.
 
A cook book stand would be nice and how about a matching holder for collections of sb.
 
I thought about getting those 3 way tongs, actually. Maybe I will go ahead. It's so funny, though. I sit here waiting to buy things, because I wonder if PC will make a new version of this or that. :)
