Who May Find This Useful

Consultants looking for insights into customer preferences and product ideas may find this discussion valuable.

Bigger barrel for the rotary grater or regular cheese greater
Cookbook stand
Spice rack
Garlic keeper
More Glassware - small size
Bigger Handy scrapers
More SA serving bowls/platers in different shapes (not round or square)
 
love the garlic keeper. I have had requests for napkin holders and now that I think of it, a nice Bamboo one would be great with the grinder set.
 
nice idea on the bamboo napkin holder. : )
 
I really would like to see storage solutions for some of our platters and SA bowls. It's great to take those items to parties and such, but with the platters/pedastal especially, you can't transport them and keep the food on them.Love the idea of a cookbook holder too.
 
I would LOVE a Dots teapot with a matching creamer and sugar bowl :)

Cookbook stand, maybe in bamboo with storage.....

I would love to see a spice rack!!
Do you think that because of the recent switch of the DCB to a host only, that would effect the possibility of a smaller version?
 
Agree with Rae's posts. The same things I have been nagging them for years to bring on!!

I really wish they would do an "All the Best" Volume 2!! The cookbooks are nice, but to sell them in a rural area is tough sometimes. Just a little more Mom & Pop but healthy versions.
 
HANDLES PLEASE! on the rect stone! which I have assumed we were going to get the past 2 seasons! Food Network has them on the rect ones at Kohls, grrrr!


I agree something for the spices/rubs. Don't know if it will be a spice rack - but something to tote/store all these things.

Keep thinking they are going to come out with a more diabetic or food conscious cooking book sometime - so was suprised, BUT LOVED the Dessert Cookbook. TOOOO YUMMY!

Just 4 more weeks, WAHOO . . . B

AMEN to that! And not as much focus on the MICROWAVE cooking! (1) It's not really that healthy for you, and (2) alot of my customers just aren't all "in to that" (me included). It's nice EVERY now and THEN, but so many of the recipes seem focused on 29 minutes, etc. Ok..if Rachael can do all of her cooking in 30 minutes WITHOUT a microwave, and it's 3-4 courses, why can't we come up with some? At the very least, give us both versions- a Microwave version and a 'traditional oven/stove' version for the recipes.
 
I've wanted a Cookbook Stand for years and a
DCB cookbook would be fabulous!!! This good be a booking tool since it will be a Host only special.
 
I want 9X13 metal bakeware pan!!!
 
Ditto on a cover for the cake stand and Dots juice glasses
 
a customer suggested a PC canister set, thats easy to get the stuff out

I can definitely see that being a next logical step they'll take!

So does my mother-in-law and all her friends!!!
I also would love to see the spices and rubs in larger containers, make fajita's a few times and that chipolte and southwestern season is almost gone!!
cover for the cake pedestal would be good.
Replacement bowl for the salad spinner (since I warped mine, darn it!!!)
 
9x13 metal pan
bamboo napkin holder, and lazy susan for the table
cookbook stand (like SA)
Juice glasses with dots (somthing kid size)
Canister Set (suggested this last year at NC)
more managable pot holder (dots)
Cookbook (DCB would be great), less appitizers, more family dishes and desserts

I'm sure there is more, I'm am just blank right now. I will love most anything they come up with.

I think with today's lifestyle, the microwave is the perfect way to go. People will by some boxed stuff and throw it in the microwave and call that dinner. We need to keep as much microwave items as we can.
 
+++++ A DCB carrier with a top strap (similar to pyrex carriers or a basket with an attachable strap to keep lid secure). My customers have been asking for this.

+++I would also love a stone mini-muffin pan
+++Mini-serving spatula made with a non-scratch material. My customers asked for this as well (after they scratched one of their pans with their favorite little tool). I get so many requests for this tool, it's funny.
 
Ooh- and I like the idea of the DCB cookbook, the cookbook stand, and the pasta canisters...
 
I cannot believe, after reading all of these, that no one has mentioned it yet....how about lids for the Simple Additions??!!

I would also love to see the outdoor party plates re-done, so that they are microwaveable, tho that would likely be a spring/summer thing.

Canisters would be nice, as well as some sort of a spice rack, but I really don't know that we'll see that, as it seems like we are only getting stuff that has a "Pampered Chef twist" on it; that is, something to make it an "exclusive", gotta have it thing....

I would love to see a cookbook specifically for the Deep Covered Baker, and another one for the Torte pans. Personally, I want to see a cookbook, made up of "Consultant Favorites"; that is, favorite demo recipes for the last 30 years!!

OK, now....anybody got an idea for the fall "theme shows"? I would love to see a "Southern Cookin' ", personally!

Anything but Mexican. I LOVE Mexican food and I LOVE many of our Mexican-style recipes but enough is enough! We need other types of recipes too.
 
So how about a "chicken" theme, or "beef", with all sorts of casseroles?
 
I like the idea of the dcb carrier, it would make it easier to transport to shows as well. I have broke mine going into a show before. it worked out but now I get nervous taking places because I love it so much.

The dcb cookbook would be a great idea. Hopefully the dcb become back available to every sooner than we think. A smaller one would be great too.
I wish they would make a more afforable coffee carafe like the old one I dont know how many people have asked me for that but dont want to pay 64 dollars for it.
And maybe bring back the Coffe they used to have I loved it. It was so yummy!!

Totally AGREE! Mexican has been the theme plenty long enough.

I'd like a Soups & Stews theme for the Winter.

I'd also like a Greek theme, but I'm just dreaming with that one.
 
Love all of those things......but I have to admit I would love some of the Dots Glasses in a plastic version. I live in Florida and would love to be able to sell them for using outside at the pool. Would be a big hit. We cant take them out on our pool deck because of the glass, and I think that all of them are so great looking they would be a big seller for outdoor wear if they only came in PLASTIC.:love:

Love the idea of a spice rack, cookbook stand, cover for cake pedestal, new rotary blades for grater, and Different Sizes on Spices and Rubs..... Cant wait to see.

Now if only I can get enough sales to hit 1500 dollars:grumpy:
 
Anything that is made of bamboo... I so love the bamboo products!!
 
I am hoping for silverware and a scale.
 
Silverware .... nooooo! Not if it is tacky with handles on the ends, like the serving tools! I HATE flatware that isn't 100 percent metal!

I think there are plenty of customers on both sides of this question--my sister and I are on opposite sides--so I agree that it would be great to have 2 versions--give oven and microwave cooking times, for instance.
Me, I'm a microwave/stovetop girl, but I like the stovetop as much as the micro.
I love the idea of soups and stews as a theme--or soups and winter salads. (what is a winter salad? I don't know, it just came out of my keyboard, lol)

I would love a DCB carrier, I have always taken casseroles for potlucks and stuff.

Potato ricer. I know we're supposed to use the cookie press, but compared to a ricer, what a hassle.
