:confused: WHAT!! :eek: WHAT!! :eek: Are you in the Amazon or something? I know we want fresh food, but come on! With the forged cutlery? Aren't there real tools for that?!:eek:

That's so funny!:D We just watched a special on the Travel Channel about a Tribe in the Amazon.....but they don't behead the pig - they roast it whole - head and all - must be third world countries don't use forged cutlery for their pig roasts!:D :D :D
 
What about prep bowls that messure a cup that way you could have the option of having two sets one with 1/4 cup and the other messureing a full cup...
I wish the prep bowls had 1 or especially 2 tablespoon measurements
 
I would love for the prep bowls to have smaller measurements for two tablespoons if not 1 and 3. It would be so convenient.
I also would like the same design but in black for the SA stands and caddy. I don't care for the old black ones.
I would love for the timer to be black or stainless rather than white.
A customer and good friend requested a two quart easy read measuring bowl because she has carpel tunnel and can't carry the heavy batter bowl.
I wish the Excecutive Cookware Strainer was deeper.
I wish the EA Decorator had a larger barrel.
I also wish the Chef's Silicone Basting Brush was wider.
Bring back the cake tester! I just bought one at Bed Bath & Beyond because I lost mine.
 
Well the knife block was out years ago mybe it will come back
Tea keetle
colored scrapers again
more SA colors
I would love to see a stoneware to make long lofts of bread I have one on metal ( hate it ) so a stone one would be awsome its rounded like a tube cut in 1/2
garlic roaster is a great idea

Ooooh - love the stone idea!~

Although it seems like the number of use and care cards with recipes seem to be diminishing...
 
I would like to see different cookbooks. Maybe one for just appetizers. And one for different "theme" parties, complete with pictures of tables settings, decorating ideas, and the entire meal, with recipes for each part.

For busy people, who don't want to have to think about it. It would all be there, in black and white for them to follow, step by step.

A "power cooking" or investment cooking book would be nice too--meals you can make and double that freeze well, complete with reheating instructions, suggested side dishes, etc. I really like how there are some "cook once eat twice" meals in the Stoneware Inspirations cookbook--more along that line for busy cooks. Or a "family meals" cookbook with a week's worth of meals that build off of the ingredients in other meals in the week to reduce cost, simplify shopping, and with a consolidated shopping list for the week. I would definitely buy that!
 
I think that for the Fall they will come out with alot of serving items to enhance our Simple Additions line. Of course linens-i think we'll get alot of ideas on tablescapes at conference from Debi Lily. Can't Wait.

I really really want a Spanish full color cookbook with maybe a tour of Latin America. Foods from Mexico, El Salvador, Spain and Buenos Aires are to die for but vastly different. AHHHH... I really really want that cookbook. Where's Santa when you really need him.

Ohhh and what about a cookbook-entertaining guide with holidays or celebrations from around the world.
 
Well Ok, while I was fantasizing about food I burnt dinner!

What theme are you guys wanting for the fall? I would like a "Homespun Favorites" featuring some good traditional fare, but maybe with a slight twist. Like a Pumpkin Pie Trifle--something classic made new.

Homespun Favorites sounds like a good theme! I've been wanting some kind of back to basics or comfort foods kind of theme, but updated recipes. I haven't really done any recipes from the SB for a few seasons b/c I didn't really like the themes.
 
Oooooooooooooo... Pumpkin Pie Trifle sounds YUMMY!!! I think I might have to try to make one... just added pumpkin and spice cake to my shopping list!
 
Well, homespun sounds like a good "celebrations" title, too! And, since we'll be entering the fall/holiday season, anything "warm and cozy" will be a good way to go, I think!!

Speaking of "warm and cozy", I would love some great hot chocolate mixes, too!!
 
I'm hoping for the cleaver!
 
I know a cleaver is "different" than the Santoku, but how are they actually used?? I mean, do they have different actual uses??

Knives confuse me, I confess!!
 
I still want SILVERWARE!!!

and coasters....
 
How about a soup tureen?? With a great ladle, perhaps to match it...? One that could even "hook" onto the side somehow??
 
I've been wanting silverware for a few years now..... keep putting off buying new stuff, just HOPING that PC is adding it to their next season's catalog! lol

Coasters would be awesome, too!!!!!
 
I agree about the silverware...my only problem is, I need it to be "garbage disposal-proof"!! I've got more than one teaspoon dropped in there!! <sigh>
 
OH NO!........

I have no garbage disposal (well, it's called a trash can! lol) and I have no dishwasher (his name is John ;))........... I'm just about ready for a HOUSE where I can have some of these things, though!!! lol My apartment is getting very crowded, especially every 6 months when I add yet another set of Kitchen Tools to the place ;)
 
I guess I'm about to get a "reprieve" on the storage problem of new and exciting PC products. My daughter is planning to move down to Virginia in August, and is more than willing to take any "extras" off my hands!! lol

Simple Addition Lids

I've been asking HO for lids for years. I would like to see 2 different kinds of lids. One for sealing & storing & 1 that have a slot for a serving utensil so the food is protected from dust & bugs if it's on a buffet table.

If I remember right, the last time we had such a huge dollar value in new product was when we got the cranberry stoneware. Anyone else think they might be introducing a new color?

I know it's probably not the favorite color choice but I want EVERYTHING in the lilac color of our microfiber towels from this season! Then I can die happy that my kitchen matches!!

I think I've put this on the suggestions sheet at conference the last couple of years. :) Funny story about that: a couple of years ago, I did up a game sheet for my cluster. We all made predictions/wishes about new products and I typed up the list so we could check things off as they were announced. I met someone in a workshop who was on the product development committee, and I gave her a copy of the list. The next year, the HWC items included a couple things that had been on the list, and we've had a few more things added to the product line that were on there.
 
Thought of a few more whiile I was driving!Cibatta Bread Mix
Cibatta Baking Stone
Recipes for Cibatta Bread (including Panini's)
 
I love the idea of SA lids!! And I'd also like a case for the Forged cutlery if no knife block.

And the avocado is better than the dreaded "harvest gold". My mom still has a harvest gold dryer (from 1976). It's a Maytag (and she hates it but dad keeps it going).
 
I like basic black for things like the tomatoe knife and scraper. It goes with so much. I love the cranberry stoneware, and I hope they don't discontinue it or my profits from PC will be going to buy everything cranberry that I don't have already.

Hey, I'd take a 30 year old harvest-gold dryer if it still worked and didn't give me hassles... my scarcely 4 year old dryer (which is white by the way) is not working and I'm actually waiting today for the repair guy. At the risk of sounding like my grandmother, they don't make 'em the way they used to!

Back on topic, I REALLY would like a knife block/case and a tea kettle. And I don't know if this would be too specific, but I would love apples as a fall recipe theme... there is so much you can do with them and they work really well with PC products.
 
I would love to see some "down home Southern Cooking ideas". In my area most people are "beans and taters" kind of people. I had a guy ask today at our restaurant why we didn't have fried potatoes and onions as a regular menu item. With today's over-busy society, I think quick foods or foods you can make ahead and freeze would be a great theme. HomeMade Gourmet pushes a 4 meals in 4 minutes theme. Basically you take frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts...for my family I use 5...put them in a freezer bag with one of their spices...my favorites are the southwest and the rosemary...and you add different canned items. You freeze them and when you get up in the morning you put them in the crockpot to cook while you are at work. When you get home you add a salad or some other vegetable and your dinner is ready. I haven't done it in awhile but with the southwest you add the seasoning, rotel tomatoes and some water. For one you add chicken broth, and another one you add cream of mushroom soup. They are really simple to make. I emailed HO and was told they hadn't tested our spices to know if that would be good or not for us. She told me she would put it on the table. I keep hoping something similar would come out. You could incorporate that into the Deep Covered Baker and microwave. But, I often put supper in the oven in the rectangle baker with lid before heading out to church and when I get home my entire meal is ready. I think it would be easily adaptable for our products.

Non-nonstick stainless cookware is essential for browning pork chops

I brown them in the 12" Executive Family Skillet and they cook up wonderfully - nice and moist!

I have SS cookware already, and the Executive set beats it hands down, IMO
