+++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.
Definitely a Nylon Mini Serving spatula - for those non-stick pans

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!

That is exactly why I'm hoping PC would come out with silverware, because I don't think they'd do tacky, and would most likely be all metal. I have the tacky, plastic-handled kind now, and they're (unsurprisingly) falling apart. My next set will be more durable, and hopefully PC.

I thought the PC BBQ Skewers were probably silly-looking, until I saw them in person. They're amazing, and I'm sure PC would do the same with flatware.
 
I would love to see a mini floral cupcake pan - 24 bite size cupcakes instead of the 12 large cupcakes.
 
And a cherry pitter.

We had a cherry pitter. I doubt they'll bring that back.

They've already brought it back at least once that I can remember.....so yes, I doubt that they'll bring it back again.
 
I would like to see a silicone sleeve to go over the cookware handles after they come out of the oven. (I have one made by Farberware--ooops!). It's too easy to grab the handle of the fry pan and get burned.

Yes, yes, yes!!
I had one that was quilted like a hot mat, I would just slip it over the handle. I tend to burn myself a lot, but when you pick up a heavy hot pan just out of the oven, the weight and your grip really intensify your injury. (I wish I didn't know this)

I think this is a great idea and would really improve people's cooking experience.

I really wish Pampered Chef would get into storage solutions, like (dare I say)Tupperware containers. I'm sure we could do better, don't you think? ;0)

I wish they'd do more glass storage. I don't use TW - and I've been trying to get rid of as much plastic storage as I can. I LOVE the prep bowls (both sizes) for storage!

I use Glass-lock for food storage also. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0029U57RA/?tag=pfamazon01-20
 
I'd love a cover for the cake stand (since the holidays are coming) and storage containers! I had these plastic containers on the market now other than the stain shield Rubbermaid ones. I'd love some different sizes of glass or quality plastic (if necessary) storage containers

Becky, I think this is a great idea, as more and more people are looking to glass for storage and especially for the microwave.

Cover for grill pan (I use my square flat griddle pan as a lid!), DCB cookbook, Smaller DCB for smaller microwaves and campers, Clear Cake Dome (haven' sold any - and that is why); spice rack is real good idea too, flexible cutting boards.

YES! I don't use my pan as much because of the splatter...even with the press on it makes a mess.
 
I wish the 2 cup prep bowls had microwavable lids like (dare I say it too?) tupperware. I prefer to take my food to work in glass and would get those for this purpose if I could nuke the lids too.

I just cover the bowl with a napkin or small paper plate. Works great!

The splatter screen makes a great cover for the grill pan.
 
Bring back the digital candy thermometer!! I use my moms to make LOTS of fudge every Christmas and she uses it to make even more fudge... We'll need a new one soon! LOL!

The silverware is a great idea. I could see it being metal with dots.. not colored dots, but shaded dots so that it could still be classy.

And I agree w/ so many of the above wishes: Small DCB, bigger rubs, canisters.....
 
omg I would love a digital candy thermometer....I never knew there was such a thing. it would rock my world!!!Now- off to the craft store...II gave up making candy a long time ago because I hated the thermometers. All my other ones are digital, never occurred to me to look for a candy thermometer. Even if it's not PC....wow, thanks for this postMarghi
 
Cake stand cover -- big enough to cover a skillet cake, flatware -- all metal, dots juice glasses, butter dish, tea pot, tea kettle, cookbook holder, a seasoned salt, poultry/rotissarie seasoning, maybe dots towels and dots microfiber. Make the honey vanilla sprinkle a part of the regular product line. How about dots place mats, napkins, oven mitt, apron . . .

anything chillzanne-ish
 
Speaking of the cake platter, we need a cover, but imagine if they would use different colors or shaped plattters to interchange with the existing platter stand.

what about the cake tester and a better instant digital thermometer (and yes i'm asked about the candy one all the time).

i think another cool n serve tray will be launched - lol and a new season's best.
 
Oh and please redesign the cheese grater - i love the big grator, but hate the snap in handle. I've had several times where the guests will turn it and pop the handle off the cylander. If they could make the new one like the old one but with a bigger handle, i'd be grinning!
 
These are great ideas, I would like to see some of the same items:

dot teapot or some other dot pieces *I love the dots* :)
small DCB
spice rack
bamboo napkin rings
cookbook holder
DCB cookbook
cake stand cover

Several of the ones ordered have had the tabs snap off when customers receive them.

I agree! A cake dome for the Cake stand!
 
I would like to see dots in tumblers, 9x13 metal cake pan, a spice tote/rack. I would also like the sauces to come in "tester sizes" for consultants -- You can pass around the spices to let customers smell them but no the sauces unless you open them and then you have a limited time to use them.
 
I would love to see a Dutch oven added to our cookware.
 
I'd love to see mini-versions of our springform pans. I love the glass bottom on our pan.

Silverware! I'm in desperate need of a new set, but am actually waiting until NC to see if they'll be offered, before I go out and buy some. What do you think are the chances?

I would love this!!
