Who Will Miss the Lift and Serve?

[ChefBeckyD]

It's one of those products that you don't use often (in most cases) but if you need it, it's the one thing that REALLY works. I love it for transferring cakes.

EXACTLY!!!

 

[purrbal]

You know the very first ring I made I found it REALLY greasy in the small o section so I used my lift and serve to pick it up soak up the grease then set it back down. I love mine, but I too have not seen much selling of the product.

I never got it because I have this problem where I have too much stuff and not enough storage! I have no idea where I would put it. Although, you guys are making me think that I'll need it eventually. Of course, now I can't show it at shows. Hmmmm.

 

[kristenlee]

I will not miss it. I have one and have used it once. I do have a past host who would like a second one. Maybe I can use it as her host gift when she has her show in September

It is something that I never thought about getting, then my husband said "Get that!!" so I ordered it...and found it very helpful for things like the Chocolate Cappuccino Cake (Stoneware Inspirations) YUMM! and I've made that at several shows, and sell a few L&S everytime!

My dad and his wife were at our house a few weeks ago, and I used it to take the Ham and Cheese Omelet Roll (Main Dishes - - will be missed too!!) off of the Bar Pan and onto the Rect. Serving Platter...and my dad's wife said, OH I could really use that!! This was before I knew it was going to be discontinued... So I'll have to make sure she gets it before it's gone.

It isn't something I use a lot...but when I need it, it is very convenient. Before I had it, my husband and I often had the four spatulas going...him holding two and me holding two and saying "ok...1,,2,3 go!" and lifting something and the same time with the 4 spatulas...sorta a pain!

I won't miss it as far as sales, I only sold it when I showed it. But i'm glad I own it...and it doesn't take up much space...i have it is the drawer under the stove standing up with the handles facing up so when I open the drawer is it convenient to get out, and takes up no space along the side of the saucepans I have in there.

I was considering getting it to help me put the top layer on torte's but I guess I won't get it now. I seemed to be able to put the Island Breeze Rum cake together without so since it is leaving then I don't need one

When I made the Island Breeze Rum cake it fell apart! How did you do it without the Lift 'n' Serve? I was glad I had it!

I have it, haven't used it yet, but I think I will this month. If people want it they will have to buy it now.

 

[tlennhoff]

I've been debating buying it for a while. I used my FPV from my july show to get it as I've started doing more cooking for my husband lunches and think this will come in very handy as I need to move puff pastry meals into a bag for freezing.

MMMMmmmmm Puff Pastry! I love Puff Pastry - what kind of meals do you make with them? I used to do a Puff Pastry Pizza Turn-over for clients - Puff Pastry freezes so well! I'd love to know what you make?

 

[mbh06]

I'm going to order one before it's gone to have in the future. My children will do 4-H and I figure it will come in handy when they get up in the foods project where they have to make cakes, bread braids, etc. That way it will still look good when we move it

LOL, my husband changed jobs and has to bring his own lunch now as there is only one kosher restaurant near his new office.

I went out to "aunt trudy's" website (http://www.fillofactory.com/retailproducts.cfm), looked at her philo pockets, and made thing similar, everything is guessworks as all I had was the ingredient list. I picked up the pepperidge farm puff pastry sheets, cut them into 6 pieces, rolled it out, put various fillings in, sealed it up, baked on our stoneware, and labeled carefully as I did 6 fillings and some 20 individual "puff pastries".

They work so well for that! You can bake them & freeze them.....or you can fill them, wrap them and freeze them and then bake them from frozen.

I had totally forgot about making Puff Pastry foods like this - I'm so glad you reminded me! In fact - I may think of a way to add them to my Power Cooking menu!

Now I'm picturing a stripper wearing a bra made of meat pies.




Thanks.

Laugh out loud funny! And DH insists on pronouncing the meat pie with a long "a"........he laughs every time like it's just so funny. (men!)

He must be related to my DH.

Wouldn't surprise me!

I miss the Lift n Serve! If I make a ring and want to transfer it to a platter to make it look nice, or move a cake, I NEED that thing!
Just my .02!

They are on the outlet now in case you still need one.......

I only used it for the Island Breeze Rum Cake, like somebody else posted.

I'd LOVE any recipes that use Puff Pastry or for that matter, freezer type things, my kids would love Pizza Turn-overs, would you share your recipe??

Thanks,

I own it and use it all the time (esp. for putting layer cakes together, taking pizzas/rings/whatever off the large round stone, etc.). My mom does, too. Everyone who has seen my list of discontinuing products looks in shock at the fact that the Lift & Serve is on there. Maybe it's a regional thing??

Exactly what me and my Mom use it for! We were both shocked when they d/c'd it.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

HO doesn't discontinue a product on a whim. (Well, except for the SuperSwat which gets reintroduced on a whim, sometimes.) If the LnS had sold well, they wouldn't have discontinued it.

 

[Christ Follower]

I think it was one of those things that people said "someday I will get that" but wasn't a priority at the time. Now that it's gone I have people ask for it all the time. Do they want to pay direct shipping through my website? Nooooooooooo. I guess they don't want it too bad.

 

[missydivine]

I have only used mine once, but when I needed it it was perfect!

If the LnS had sold well, they wouldn't have discontinued it.

Actually I think they sometimes discontinue and item when they feel the market is saturated. They can bring it back in a few years if the cooking trends make it marketable to a new group of people.

 

[pamperedlinda]

They also know that absence makes the heart grow fonder.....think CAKE TESTERS!!!! I cannot believe that they aren't back yet!
