Will Extra Rods Fit Current APampered ChefS? Ask Here!

[sillylittlechef]

I have a customer who said she bought a apcs many years ago, and a few years ago bought different rods that make slices thinner or thicker. The rods did not fit her APCS. She is afraid if she buys the current APCS that the rods won't fit. I do not know what she is talking about, so I couldn't answer, but told her I was sure that someone on here would know. If she buys the current APCS will the extra rods that she has fit it?

I have the old APCS. It used to be sold by PC with two blades - thick and thin.

I'm really not sure though if my rods would fit a new APCS. I do know my barrels on my older cheese grater do not fit the new one, they are much smaller in diameter.

I would suggest finding out the mfg. of her rods and contact HO for some advice.

I'm so confused. I don't even know what to ask HO. And most of them have no idea about older products anyway.

Janet---is it the blade or the rods that are interchangeable? The way I understood the customers question was that she too had the old APCS, then ordered the rods, which she found did not fit her APCS. So unless they have changed the APCS more than once they should fit the current one, right? But what about the blades???

My rods are interchangeable...the screw depth/distance is what provides the variance - the blade and the main part that mounts to the base is the same.

From what I understand in the new APCS they just went down to one blade instead of two...unlike other things that TOTALLY changed, I think this just has one less blade and the unit itself is the same....

Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about your customer's concern with the APCS and extra rods. I can definitely help clarify this for you and your customer.

The APCS (Adjustable Pie Crust Shield) has gone through some updates and changes over the years, so it is possible that the extra rods your customer purchased may not fit the current APCS. However, I would recommend having your customer bring in the extra rods to a Pampered Chef party or contacting our customer service team to see if they can assist in finding a compatible APCS for her.

We want to make sure our customers are fully satisfied with their purchases, so please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help. Thank you for being a loyal Pampered Chef consultant!
