Favorite Pampered Chef Item

[Mean Queen]

Former consultant here (did it for the discounts). Here are some of the things I use most:
Large round stone with handles
Large bar pan
Easy Stir Pitcher
Apple slicer (it cores the apple and cuts it into 8 slices)
Bamboo tongs (the toast tongs mentioned earlier)
Oven Mitt

I also have the cookware, but it wouldn't be my first choice.

ETA: More stuff I just remembered:
The measure all cup (it has a side for liquid and solids - it plunges out the solid. Perfect for mayo, peanut butter, shortening)
Ice Cream Scoop
twix-it clips
small micro cooker
rice cooker

I like -

bamboo tongs (for salad and for getting toast out of the toaster) - not thongs
ice cream scooper
hamburger chopper (breaks up hamburger while you are browning it)
measuring cups with the measurements written on the inside

I never never never use the stoneware! I think I gave all of it away.

It would be pretty painful to use the tongs to get your thongs out.

I guess I'm the only one that hates the hamburger chopper. The meat got stuck in the sides and was hard to clean out. I thought the spatula did just as well but could be used for other stuff.

The hamburger thing is hard to clean - you have to brush it as soon as you are done using it. Then I stick it in the dishwasher.

Does anyone sell Pampered Chef?
I am wondering what the minimums are. How often you have to order, how much per year, etc...
Thanks

I like all thier stuff but I love buying their knives to give out as gifts for some reason . People really like getting them

I have a bowl and colander set with lids. It nests together to save space and it has rubber on the bottom so they do not move. I love it and use it a lot. Have fun shopping!

I am a consultant so I have almost everything.. my favorites though are the mix and chop, knife set including the scissors! the food chopper, the garlic press, the citrus press, the rice cooker and the easy stir pitcher, those get used weekly..I also love the apple slicer, the apple peeler/core and muffin pans!

if you have any questions on the products, let me know!

I was looking at the knives, I can't decide which to get. Are the Color Coated Knives really any different then the Foged Cutlery?

yes! I love the forged cutlery, they are very sharp and my hubby loves them. they color coated are more of a steak knife type of knife.. I use it for cutting fresh veggies...

I think that I am the only person in the world that doesn't like pampered chef. I have the easy stir pitcher, I have the chopper, dont like them. I had a stone and gave it away. It was the only time in my entire life that what I baked didn't get done and my kids told me to never use that thing again.

I have friends the LOVE it. To each his own, but I don't buy any of it anymore.

What don't you like about the easy stir pitcher? That is one of my favorite items, it is so handy.

To me it is just hard to clean I actually ended up throwing it away. I am much faster just using my standard rubber maid pitcher. And certainly much cheaper.

Like I said, it is me. Most people love it. I do have a few friends that don't like the stones either, but they do love the other stuff.

Now that I think about it, I do have their measuring cups. The ones that are slanted, I like those. I also have their glass mixing bowl with the handle on it. Problem is , you can find this stuff (pyrex) much cheaper and it is just as good. IMHO.

I cook a lot and I am not cheap, just come and see my knife set. I just don't see paying that much for something that I can purchase at a lower price and it is just as good if not better

Anyway, I know people love it and that if fine. I just don't care for the stuff, so I go if a friend has a party and buy something really small.

I throw mine in the dishwasher!

I did too, I can't explain it, but to me it was a total pain in the butt. I think dealing with that bottom part was what I didn't like.
