PC Consultant checking in here...

Nice to see all the faves people have and that it's a pretty wide variety!

Just thought I'd chime in on online ordering...essentially what happens is if you don't have a consultant, when you put your information in, you are sent to the personal website of a consultant in your area. That person's name should appear on the screen. You still can process your order online without talking to that consultant, if you choose, but then you also have that consultant's contact information so if you need to order in the future, want to host a show or just get a catalog, that person can give you that service.

Back to products...many of you have touched on my most used and favorites, but a couple haven't been yet...

The Chillzanne Rectangle Server is the best tool for things you want to keep chilled. It has a divider that can slide in and out so if you want to do meat and cheese, fruit and vegie trays, you can do that. The insert has a gel inside it. You put it in the freezer the night before and then whatever you put in it stays cool OUTSIDE refrigeration for up to 4 hours. The insert has a flat side for those meat and cheese, fruit and vegie trays, and the flip side has depressions for 24 deviled egg halves.

I hate deviled eggs and I think that's the coolest part of that product. Keeps the eggs from going bad and makes them easy to transport.

I could not live without my microwave cooker or my stoneware 13x9 casserole. Oh...and my bag clips and $1 paring knives.

I bought the juice jug that you mix up lemonade or juice in. It has the plunger that you push up and down to mix it up. I love it, especially with the kids as it is fast. It is also great when you go to serve lemonade or oj and you can give it a quick plunge up and down to stir around any pulp.

This pitcher is great!! We use it for ice tea.....so easy to mix!!!

This is probably the only thing I have ever purchased at a "party" that I use and think...thank goodness I got this!!
No spill no mess..and the kids can use it easily......

Oh yeah we LOVE that one too! Great pitcher and love the plunger. If you make any powdered drinks this thing is the way to go!

stoneware muffin pan (as someone upthread said, too hard to clean)

Try a bottle brush! The scraper and the PC brush don't work on it, but I've found a rounded bottle brush cleans it great.

I'm not sure anyone has mentioned it, but I LOVE the press and seal -- greatest gadget ever for kids lunch sandwiches!! I used it to make uncrustables before there were uncrustables! LOL!!!
Oh, and I also really like my microwave steamer with the lid (black);
a small saucepan with a glass lid that is awesome for sauces (NOTHING sticks!!!);
ice cream scooper;
hold & slice (perfectly uniform onion slices, tomato slices, etc.);
white handled paring knives (I wish they made regular knives that were this fabulous);
the mixing bowl with the lid (I make pancake batter up ahead of time and refrigerate)
Oh, I reallly need to get myself to a PC party!! LOL!!

I just got the mini cupcake "pan" that makes them into flower shapes. LOVE it!!!! I made cupcakes one time and jello the next and both times it was easy clean-up (although the jello was a little hard to get out until I did the warm bath, I forgot the pam before I made them.)

 

[poohandwendy]

I have a butt load of Pampered Chef items! (invited to waaaay too many parties, and had a few of my own, LOL) Have not been disappointed in any of their items.

I especially like the stone bar pan, the silicone spatulas (I have like 6 of them), the food chopper...the whisk, the batter bowl, the thing I call the 'counter scraper', it's white with a rubber flat side and a hard other side, the recipe books, the nylon utensils...I could go on and on.
have fun at the party!

This is the product I mean, http://www.pamperedchef.com/our_products/catalog/product.jsp?productId=229&categoryCode=CE! It was the worst thing my Mom and I ever ordered.
My Mom is a great cook and has tons of gadgets. She used it once and then threw it out. It did not get all the peel off the apple and the blade kept getting jammed with peels. I do not recommend it at all.

I have the pizza cutter, seamless can opener and apple corer. The only one I don't use regularly is the apple corer. I especially love the can opener.

I am a former pc consultant. I love it, just got busy after kids but one day will do again.

Anyway, it's close to the holidays and if you chop anything then I highly recommend the Food Chopper. Saves tons of time. I love it.

I could list so many of my favorite items. I truly believe in the product or I wouldn't have endoresed it. There were very few items that I wouldn't try to sell. I wasn't fond of the cookie press.

I love the can opener. It's a bit odd to use at first but once you get the hang of it it's wonderful. I had a customer who bought it and called to say she couldn't figure it out. I was doing a show at her home the next week so I told her I would show her then. When I got to her house we got out a few cans and realized she had already opened them but didn't know it. She had opened 10 cans! Her sister was a friend of mine so we had a good laugh about that.

I especially LOVE the chillzanne bowls and servers.
