Your Most Favorite Pampered Chef Product--Why?

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

On the HO Tour. They usually draw one consultant from each bus load to win a shopping spree.

Actually, I hear that if you attend NC and submit two shows in July, you'll earn a new Exec Cookware piece.

I'm still trying to figure out what's missing from the collection that they'll be adding.

A saucier, a steamer insert, a piece that's not non-stick on the inside

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

I dunno if we could handle someone up here even saucier than we are.But I'd like a steamer insert. I suppose it's a pastability.

See- that's EARN, not WIN. Totally different. Win has an element of chance; earn depends solely on you.

My mother in law wants them to come out with an omelet pan. She said, "I would buy one in a heartbeat if they had one."

 

[Chef_2_Four]

What I usually tell people at my shows is that my favorite product is the kit and opportunity.

My actual favorite individual product varies wildly, depending on what I've been cooking lately.

I was asked at my last show, and I was stumped. I looked at them and I said I love all of it. I have a favorite for one reason or another!

You earn "the newest piece of cookware" for submitting 2 shows in July and attend National Conference for "even more rewards".

I have multiple favorites:

My favorite "add to get you over the $60 mark" is the Easy Opener. I think everyone needs at least three - one at home, one in the car and one at the office. However, my favorite use is for opening jars. I love the fact I do not have to struggle.

My favorite stoneware is a toss up. I love the Large Bar Pan for cooking bacon, we use the Large Round Stone (have two) for making pizza every week, and I love making lasagna in the 9x13 baker.

I love the Executive Cookware so much! I have never had such an easy time cleaning my cookware. It is such an amazing time saver.

The piece I probably use the most (pretty much every day) is the Large Micro Cooker.

Well, I already gave up on ever educating this crowd that Tupperware does parties, we do shows. To this bunch, "earn" and "win" are pretty much interchangeable, too, but lead on, McDuff.

It's the "even more rewards" that has me concerned.

What would I ever do with a lifetime supply of stoneware scrapers, Twixit clips or 37 Super Swats?

 

[chefann]

It's the "even more rewards" that has me concerned.

The "even more" could be very cool! Remember a couple of years ago Conference attendees who submitted 2 shows got the Woven Medium Bowl? That's a great piece! (Wish it were in the regular line.) Of course, since it says "rewards" and not "product," maybe it'll be PC$ or something like that!

 

[Chef_2_Four]

I bet the "even more rewards" is just the fact of being there and taking home all that stuff you learned!!

 

[chefann]

Naw- that's understood! They wouldn't specifically mention it unless there was something tangible.

 

[MomToEli]

I'm trying to picture what you would use an Easy Opener in the car for ... open bottles of HEET? Pop on the road, maybe ....

Anyway, extra rewards ... PC$ would be awesome! I love the idea of being able to pick my own stuff - my independent streak, you know. I'm sure, though, that they would pick something great, too, if they pick it! I'd bet a beverage at the meet up that it will be more than just the wonderful experience of being there ...

I'm starting to get excited

Catalog shows count towards our two July shows, right? I have two cooking shows on the books so far, but one is dubious - the host is MIA. The other is solid - a wedding shower - at MY house Already have that guest list in hand...

 

[chefann]

Yep- any show type that's not an individual order and has a July date (submitted by Midnight, Aug. 5) counts.

I reallllllly want a medium woven selections! Hopefully they will do it again this year!As for everyone that loves the cookware: I thought that I did, and really want the entire exec set....except I find that it isn't so easy to clean when I get eggs, cake batter or something else stuck in/around the bolts that stick out on the inside of the pan. I have a good set of pots right now, and they coated the bolts with the non-stick stuff, and it has a good seal...I never have to scrub those pans like I do with my exec saute pan... help!

Soak it in soapy water for a few minutes if it is bad and it come off pretty easy. My husband cooks himself eggs every morning but leaves the pan for me to wash at night; and this is what I do. He is afraid he will wash my PC pans with something he is not suppose to and I will have a fit! HA!

 

[Pampered Laura]

My cabinets are bursting with PC... I'm hoping that our "extra rewards" are P-O-I-N-T-S!

I just got a huge box of PC stuff together that I am putting on a "gently used, demo product" table at my open house this weekend...offering 20% off of everything on the table....and some things are brand new! Hopefully I can get rid of some things, and make some cash to buy new products! Or, for conference cash!

 

[Pampered Laura]

I'm getting ready to do that, too... I seriously have a pantry full of stuff in boxes. LOL

 

[chefann]

I should do that, too. DH HATES the piles of PC stuff everywhere. And then there's the basement! Full of stuff that I got thinking I could use for promos and freebies. I'd list things here, but then there's the hassle of shipping, etc.

That is why I am trying this first. Whatever I have left over, I might try to advertise it as one or two lots....I hate shipping to a thousand different places!

He only hates it because it's taking up space that could be filled with carburetors, generators, alternators, transmission gears, sending units, master cylinders, bumpers, headlights...

 

[chefann]

Oh, no. Those things aren't allowed in the house. You saw his toybox. And the 2nd floor of the 2-car is wall-to-wall shelving - plenty of space for his cra...stuff.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

The house is the best place to store freshly painted fenders of freshly chromed bumpers and such. It's much safer.

 

[chefann]

Sure- except the cars in the garage rarely move, so parts are pretty safe out there, too.

 

[The_Kitchen_Guy]

Yeah, I have a British sports car, too.

 

[legacypc46]

Yeah, I have a British sports car, too.

LOL! ...but isn't that part of their charm?

 

[chefann]

<giggle>

For those who don't know, DH and I actually DON'T have any British cars - KG's just being silly. Currently parked in the garage are: 1977 Lincoln Sedan, 1966 Lincoln convertible (parts car), 1966 Lincoln convertible (the one DH has been working on) and 1970 Mercury Marquis convertible (seats aren't in that one right now). DH has been so busy with the 66 that we haven't gone out for a spin in any of the classics this year.
It's sad that with a 6-car garage, our daily drivers still live in the driveway.
