Do you bring all your seasonings with to your shows or just what you are using for the night? I havent been bringing mine, and I'm thinking I should - the oils too - except spillage would cause quite a problem.........thoughts???
 
I bring all of them in a basket and set it in the middle of the table and encourage them to sniff and taste away!
 
I bring all the seasonings except the oils and vanilla - I only bring those if they are part of the demo. I use the small cookware bag to transport.
 
I bring the Cinn. and Caramel sprinkles...that's it.
 
I take the cinnamon and caramel sprinkles and that's it... I didn't have any others to bring anyway. Now that I have the greek rub... I'll take it if I need it.
 
I bring everything except for the vanilla. I have little disposable cups that everyone can sprinkle seasoning in to try. I sell a lot of them too!
 
I only take what I'm using, except I have been regularly taking the sprinkles since they came out. But, for hygienic reasons, I put a small sample of each in a 35 mm film container, instead of passing the full container around letting people put their noses in them! With all the colds and flus going around right now, I don't think you can be too safe, especially with food. I would not want someone to blame me for them getting ill. Nor do I want to contract something from germs on my seasonings. I wish we had something to take in a case that held small sample bottles of each spice. That would really help sell a lot of our spices. I might have to send in a product suggestion...

I take the Italian and the sprinkles. Those usually just stay in my car. I found out last summer some of our seasonings don't like the summer heat very well.
 
I only take what I'm using in a recipe.

Except at Feb shows, I took the sprinkles, since they were part of the guest special.
 
I take the seasoning my recipe calles for and sometimes I will throw in a few others just to have them sitting around. Depends on how much stuff I am needing for the recipe, I do not like to over load.

I will probably take the new rubs with me to my shows in March.
 
I usually don't bring any unless I'm using them. In Feb I brought the sprinkles.

I think I will take the sprinkles that are the special, and perhaps the new ones for a while. Thanks for all your responses!
 
I have found that when I bring them, I sell them....it's the kind of thing people want to smell before buying. I sell a ton of spices - almost everyone at my shows ends up buying at least one.

I just set them in the middle of the table, and let them know they are free to check them out.
 
I take what's used in the recipe but usually carry the Italian on me at all times since it's got such a mouth watering scent to it. Also, if it's a guest or host special for the next month (or present month) I'll bring that as well.
