Do you know my DH, because he has a smart-a$s nickname for just about everything: Taco Smell, Home Despot, Home duh-Pot (he says he's pronouncing it in English), Arb-why's, K-fart, Tar-zhay (which he's obviously pronouncing in French), Sneers, etc.

my hubby uses those same names!! They must share a bloodline somewhere!:rolleyes:
 
My favorite items are the 29 minute cookbook, new pieces of bamboo, and the SA set. I truly am also excited about the SS cookware...I have a number of people who simply won't buy nonstick of any kind. The abiltiy to expand our market is awesome...the technology of this line is very interesting. The boning knife if also a favorite...had many requests for that.

I actually think the gravy separator has potential to sell well....to people who make gravy from scratch or who want to START making gravy from scratch.

Least favorite? The forged cutlery carving set; not sure about the coating tray set either.

I totally agree that the removal of the $2.00 tongs is a real pain. Not so much as an item to sell but as an affordable host gift. It seems PC has steadily reduced the number of small items that are biz options for guests/hosts.
 
Another thought on the cookware: if you watch your favorite cooking show chefs, most rotate to either a good non stick or a good stainless piece depending on the recipe. So, having 2 separate types of cookware doesn't mean customers/hosts will always choose one or the other!
