What products do you suggest to those older people who tend to say, "oh, all my children are grown and gone now so I don't cook much anymore" ?

I've mentioned they can give them as gifts but beyond that, I'm drawing a blank.
 
Now that the children are grown and gone, you can get all those entertaining pieces you couldn't have when the kids were around! Simple Additions and Dots beverage glasses, beaded servers, bamboo, GOOD cookware and knives, etc. The storage containers work wonderfully for leftovers, the round covered baker and the smaller stones. Everyone needs good cooking utensils even if they only cook once in a while.
 
Round Covered Baker - perfect for cooking for 1 or 2 people!
 
These are good tips, also the micro cookers are big hits, find out if they have everyone over for the holidays still, I just did a show where they really didn't cook much anymore but ate out alot, they seemed to like the outdoor stuff too.
 
I sell a lot of round covered bakers to older women that live by themselves. I always use the DCB at my shows and I always bring the round covered baker. I've had most success with making fajitas or pork tenderloin in the DCB and selling RCB by just telling them to do half the amount (vs grilled chicken penne al fresco that doesn't work in the RCB). I also sell a lot of food choppers to older people with arthritic hands.

For easier meal prep, I recommend the Pampered Chef Food Chopper for quick chopping of vegetables and herbs, the Mix 'N Chop for ground meats, and the Quick Slice for perfectly sliced fruits and veggies. Additionally, the Stoneware Baking Pan is excellent for roasting and baking, making clean-up a breeze.

For healthy cooking, I suggest the Pampered Chef Steamer for quick and nutritious vegetable steaming, the Salad Chopper for easily chopping salads, and the Micro-Cooker for cooking grains and proteins in the microwave. The Spiralizer is also fantastic for creating vegetable noodles as a low-carb alternative.

The Kid-Safe Knife is perfect for teaching them to chop safely, and the Easy Read Measuring Cups help them learn measurements. The Cookie Press is also a fun way for kids to create their own cookie shapes!
