Why don't you just ask your mom to order one from you for your birthday? That way you will make commision on the sale too!!!MissChef said:It's really hard to narrow it down! I love the salad spinner too! I have been waiting for one and have requested it! That is the one product that I shouted out with Glee when I read it!!! So that is my absolute favorite and I WILL earn it! Just broke mine about 2 months ago and was going to go buy one next month, for my birthday (my Mom sends me money for my birthdays, so I can choose) Now I'm going to save that money and use it in buying my samples, the ones I didn't earn! My other favorites are the new TTA, new kitchen shears and the round SA and I can't wait to see the SA lg round platter because I was so bummed when they took away the other round platter! I told you it was really hard. I am also so stoked about all the new pantry! Wahoo for bring back of Asian Seasoning!! All of them I am excited to try! Have to agree with some though these new artichoke knives, yikes! I don't know, but I won't judge until I see and use them!

Teresa Lynn said:you spin it to "dry " it
you will be amazed at how dirty the water will be after you spin it. (You would probabaly rinse it once shake it in a colander and serve it to your family) . BUT, after you see the icky water I promise you'll rinse it again.
I never buy pre-bagged salads but even they should be rinsed you'll see nasty water with them too.
Be_pampered said:Good thing you held out and waited for PC to some out with a Salad Spinner. I put my PC business on hold to give Taste of Home a try, and their salad spinner is one product I ordered to increase my product collection. One word, JUNK. I ended up ebaying it. The only product from TOHE that I was truly happy with is the Pizza Cutter, but for $25+ it better be a good one I can't wait to give ours a try and I love the berry feature! Just my 2 cents worth! Oh yeah, and I came back to PC obviously LOL!

And - of course - the pink HWC apron!!!
ChefBeckyD said:Until I can actually hold and use the products - it's so hard to pick a favorite! Last season, I thought the mix n masher was silly....until I actually used it - now I use it almost everyday and LOVE it!
I am most EXCITED about the Trifle Bowl, The Large Round Platter, the Salad Spinner, and the Herb Keeper - but I think I'll have to wait to declare a favorite!
Other than the coffee, the one item I am disappointed about being discontinued is the vegetable peeler. I had so many people buy those in multiples who just swear by them - and I'm sure they will be disappointed in the change and the price increase. For myself, I usually use my OXO peeler.
Well, I've never seen or used one before....but I'm kind of wondering about the salad scissors....I just don't get it?! After all, what are our knives for. Who knows, I could be wrong. This season I thought the Decorator Bottles were a waste....turns out I really do like them! They are great for kids and so easy for decorating cookies....I'm going to order another set!gilliandanielle said:Here is another question- What do you guys think will be the paper napkins of the Spring season?? I am going to be blown away if I sell an herb keeper or the ultensil set...
ChefBeckyD said:Just curious - was it the quality of products, or the company structure or what that brough you back to PC? I have a customer who has talked about joining PC, but now is all gung-ho about TOHE.....just wanted to know how to respond to her!
Be_pampered said:Hey we are neighbors did you notice that?
Taste of Home talks up the business with the "Ground Floor Opportunity" being a once and a lifetime thing. The products are "Trendy" which I think is a good and bad thing, and people liked the Southern Living meets Pampered Chef idea. I decided to try it because of the "Ground Floor Opportunity" thinking where would I be had I been able to do that with PC... and I liked the products, they did a real good job with the catalog presentation. HOWEVER, I was extremely dissappointed not long into my "career" with them. The kitchen products are Junk, almost all of the them, and I say almost only because I didn't actually buy them all. BUT the ones I did buy were nothing next to PC. And get this, their warranty, 90 days. If you buy anything with your consultant discount there is no warranty the product is non refundable. The supplies are also very expensive compared to PC, and even though you get "supply" credit it doesn't do much to offset the difference. The shipping rates are crazy and the time it takes for shows to be filled was nuts. I had hosts cancel on me because after they sent out the invites they had people call them back and decline due to hearing TOHE was junk product or it wasn't their "Style." The shows I did have hold all had complaints about product quality. I addressed it with TOHE and they gave the excuse of it being because they are NEW and still "Ironing out wrinkles." It also wasn't so much that it was "pricey" because I thought it was reasonable for the most part, I mean PC has pricier iems too... I was really geeked for TOHE, but I guess its because I was a PC consultant and "spoiled" that TOHE just didn't cut it for me. Many consultants I met were part of Southern Living and TOHE was better than SL@H from my understanding; but TOHE has NOTHING on PC, NOTHING. Other than maybe they are geared to the more "designer" and not "chef." I don't know, thats just my take. It was a chance I took and if I hadn't tried it I wouldn't know. I literally had people schedule shows with PC with me though trying to "get in" before I stopped selling it. They kept me active through my attempts with TOHE and since I have been back with PC, have shown just as much loyalty as they did before. I know that was a lot, guess I had a lot to say about it LOL!
Yep, If I do it in Feb, I'll push disc. products - that would be just for the double points....in March I would sell new stuff and earn my apron!!!gilliandanielle said:Don't you have to submit it in March to get the new products, or are you just selling old products and showing new ones??
