I would like to be able to sell these but all I can come up with is people on a diet or when a recipe calls for a certain measurement.

anything else?
 
When you are not using the cups for measuring you can leave the 1C in and use it for your scraps
 
i used this at my meeting a few weeks ago. I was cutting onions and had to take them over to the skillet. Instead of carrying the WHOLE cutting board to the stove i just slid all the onions into the 1 cup, pulled it out and dumped it into the pan. I LOVE this cutting board and i WANT ONE NOW!!!
 
Cutting and measuring with just one tool! Imagine trying to get diced onions into a tablespoon to measure!!! Also make sure to cross sell with the handy scraper!
 
Sarah, I love that idea of using it to put food in pans! I LOVE this product!! I made zucchini bread the other day & used the mandoline to grate the zucchini & then just slid it to the measuring cups--with the handy scraper-of course!

Will it matter if I dont have the new colored scraper? i have the white one.
 
What was cool was the other day I made the new Chocolate Pecan Lattice Tart. Well the recipe called for 3/4 cup of pecans and the new cutting board has a cup that has the 1/2 cup and 1/4 cup in the same tray. Well, I used the handy scraper and moved it right over. I LOVE this cutting board and my whole family can't wait to get that one item! :D
 
People who don't consider themselves to be good cooks (like lots of people at our shows) are often VERY careful about measuring. . .I think they'll really like this product.

I think it will help me at shows. . .don't know about most of you but unless it's a spice, I rarely measure whatever I'm chopping. I might end up a bit closer to the amount called for in the recipe. :0

Jeanine, great selling point. How many of you eyeball your ingredients? figuring you know the exact amount?... ok that looks right.. Then you wonder why it turns out tasting different every time. With our fantastic new Cutting Board, you can chop and measure in one Swoop. (Show w/ the handy scraper).

I love it!

No, because we still sell the white one too!
 
Just make sure to tell everyone they have a choice in colors, and they might get one just to choose the color! I know I would!

Thats how much I looked at the new catalog. I didnt know we still sold the white! lol And I assume we still have the white quickut and soda bottle opener too? It would be nice if I studied the catalog.
Thanks!
 
The NEW Cutting Board with Measuring Cups is a perfect fit to set the new
Ultimate Mandolin over. When you use the One Cup measuring tray, it catches the juice of lemons, or tomatoes that you might be slicing, and you can then measure the juice and add to your recipe. At the very least, it catches the juice and prevents a mess on your counter. I've used it a lot in
the last week and love both of these new products. The cutting board fits
nicely in the space I have in my RV, between my sink and stove. It also
fits on the wing that pulls up from the cabinet to extend my work surface.
 
The easy opener is now only in Cranberry and the quickut knives are a set of 3 in colors (savings from buying the white ones separately).

Nope, the easy opener is still available in white as well.

Handy Scraper, Easy Opener, and Quickut Knives are all available in white or color.
