Pampered Chef: What to buy?

[DaBoo]

I am going to my first Pampered Chef party tonight and dont want to end up buying something I will never use. I checked out the web site but still not sure. Anyone have any suggestions of what you have used and like or would make a good Christmas gift for someone on my list.
Thanks.

I love, love, love the apple corer thingy. You put it on an apple and get 8 slices sans core. I have two. They are like $8

Pizza Stone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Pampered Chefs are the best!!

I also like the apple slicer thing mentioned above.

The spatulas are good quality. I also have the turnaround thing for kitchen utensils that is really nice.

EVERYTHING!!
The stones are great. The food chopper is the best. Definitely buy $1 paring knife. The can opener is also great. Oh and I forgot the garlic press is a must.
Have fun!!

I love my rollerpin thingy, it's 2 small rolling pins with a handle and it's so nice and easy to use. I also love my potato peeler, it was like $3 and has lasted me for years! I've never had one I liked much.

I was going to say the same. I love the stoneware.

They have "little" spatulas that are great for getting brownies out of the pan.

I agree with the apple corer slicer thing...we use it every day!
I also love their cutting boards. I have a couple of the barboards...small enough to keep out on the counter. Keeps everyone from cutting right on the counter. Love them!

I love the batter bowls with the plastic lids. They are great for storing leftovers and for mixing. I have a small one and a large one.

Also, the measuring cup that has a side for liquid and a side for solids.

Thanks everyone. Sounds like they have some great products. I have never used a pizza stone. Does pizza taste diffrent cooked on a stone than on a cookie sheet?

 

[cajunfan]

I like all those mentioned above too.

My FAVORTIE though are my scoops...I use the small one for cookies...it makes the perfect round little cookie and sooooo easy! I use the med (I think) for muffins.

The pizza (and biscuits) are WONDERFUL on the pizza stones. I do not bake my cookies on them though...

I like the measuring spoons, too. I also like the knives for kids, I can't think of what they're called, but they have an orange handle, they come as a set of two and they're safe for kids to use, mine use them to help me in the kitchen all the time. They also used them to carve their own pumpkins this year (the 9 and 10 year olds).

I love all the stoneware they sell. The make everything taste better. My husband likes the taste so much more he asked me to buy more stoneware, and he is a tight wad. Everything cooks evenly and the grease is soaked up. I also like my chopper. When I make my pot pies I can cut the meat, celery, onion, and carrots all in it. It works great.

I LOVE Pampered Chef and I hav A LOT of their stuff!! You can't go wrong w/ anything. The stones are a must-have. I have 4 of them and I use them all the time......just used my rectangular baker this morning to make a batch of Chex Mix. Think about booking your own party and you can get lots of stuf for free!!

Have Fun!!! And let us know how it was!

Their stones are wonderful -- but I wasn't told for a loooong time that you had to cook on the lowest oven rack for them to work properly. So I had a lot of very light pizza crusts with dark brown cheese! But when used on the bottom rack, it's fantastic. They're great for cookies too -- very crisp and yummy!

The biggest MUST HAVE for me is the garlic press. I don't know what it is about it, but it just works so much better than any I've gotten elsewhere, and I've spent a lot of money on them too. So it wasn't that I was getting low quality ones before. I love it!

I use the chopper alot. (can't think of the exact name of it, but it's the thing that chops nuts, veggies, etc.) I also use my baking stone all the time. I have the wet/dry measuring cup with the plunger but I don't use it very often. It's good for measuring stuff like peanut butter, mayo, etc.

Actually, I've never met a Pampered Chef product I didn't like!

(BTW, I love their recipes...I have several of their cookbooks.)

 

[cheerbop]

I love their $1 paring knives! SO sharp and handy.
Also love the pizza stone!!
I use thier soap dispenser that makes suds out of a tiny bit of soap! Perfect for the kiddos so they don't over use the handsoap at the sink.

AND, if you bake apple pies, I LOVE LOVE the apple corer slicer thing that turns. SO easy and it makes baking a pie so much neater and FASTER!

This is my favorite product. The only downside to it is it literally gets all of the batter out of a bowl and there is nothing left to lick off!!! I have lots of stuff from there and love it all but have never really gotten the deal about the stoneware. I have lots of it too so if anyone has any suggestions for helping me love it more let me know. Maybe I am doing something wrong with it.

I can't say enough good things about their products! I would definatly buy many of the things listed here.Something I did just buy and am so happy with (although it's really pricey, I got it after my party) was the bread knife. I love love love love love it. It's the $65 one, I was able to get it for $26 and it's been one of the best kitchen investments I've ever made.
