athomeontheprairie Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Mix n mash Mix n chop Absolutely hate the food chopper. It's a pain to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmama Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The little white-handled paring knives. They are really cheap and I use them constantly. I always buy several when I get the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenade Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 My tomato knife. I don't know if that's what it's officially called, but it's a green serrated knife. I use it for cutting tomatoes and sandwiches/slicing bread. I use it daily, often multiple times. My other favorite Pampered Chef thing is a vegetable peeler, but I don't think they make the same one I have any more, so I can't really recommend it.

Ali in OR Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The mixing bowl with the handle--2 qt size. Probably use it daily. The rubber spatulas are the best I've used--integrated head and handle. Spoon like this is good too. The garlic press is good. I like the cutting boards, but I know decent cutting boards can probably be found in stores too. The littlest cutting board has turned out to be our most used--the girls use it daily to slice apples (both in braces--apples have to be sliced). I use it for cutting lemons or limes, oranges. Since it's used for so much fruit, I don't use it for garlic or onions but it would be a good size for that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon in TN Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I used to be a consultant, so I have a well stocked TPC kitchen and the things I go to all the time are spatulas, the batter bowls (both sizes), cutting board with the measuring cup, and stoneware. I also love my knives. Oddly, I can't remember what they call them, but they are from the nicer line. I also have the stainless cookware, but that's expensive. I wouldn't have it if I hadn't sold the products. I'd say the newest piece that I have that I'm surprised at how much I use is the stoneware microwave egg cooker. It makes a perfect egg for bagel sandwiches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Upward Journey Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The large metal serving spatula. It has a sharp, beveled edge that is perfect for chopping foods while cooking them up in my cast iron pot. I literally use it every day and it's still going strong after a decade of use! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ottakee Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Mine are those tiny brown scrapers used for getting stuck food off your pots and pans. I use mine daily. they are super cheap as well. I also use the bread knife, pizza stone, garlic press, spatulas, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StaceyinLA Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Pizza stone - I bake EVERYTHING on this thing! I have 3 and LOVE them. Batter bowls in both sizes (and the smaller, storage cups with lids that "match" - I think I have 5 total batter bowls. I ALWAYS have a couple in my fridge with something in them. Garlic press - love their garlic press. I don't have to peel the cloves first. It's awesome. Food chopper - use it almost daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The salad spinner is the best around--very easy action, thorough drying, a berry basket as well as a 'leaves' basket, the enclosure doubles as a salad bowl. There is a second lid available for transporting salads in the enclosure. Also there is a cooling insert available for the bottom of the salad bowl for transportation to potlucks and such. It is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kewb Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The stoneware bar pans and the pizza stone. Really, any of the stoneware (Ok, I am a stoneware groupie and have every size and product but the stuff is great) The garlic press- you don't need to peel the garlic first. Batter Bowls Cookie scoops. Cherry pitter Sandoku knife (My daughter knocked mine onto the floor and it broke in half. They sent me a replacement even though it technically was not a defective product under the warranty.) The mini-spatula Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewber Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Another vote for the batter bowls. The lids and handles make them so handy. I've had mine for 15? years probably. Still in great shape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stratford Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Batter bowl, mix 'n chop thingy, and stoneware. Those are my top 3 and I use them nearly every day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clementine Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The wooden (bamboo) spoons, the batter bowls, and the little 1 cup prep bowls with lids = favorites and use several times a week The food chopper, the stone shallow baking pan, and the stirring pitchers = like a lot, but don't use too often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El... Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 The apple slicer/corer; that thing is SHARP! It comes with a cover so you can take it on a road trip. The garlic press The safety can opener (after stupidity-related surgery to a tendon in my hand) I love their stuff. Now I want a cherry pitter... thanks, ya'll. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athomeontheprairie Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Forgot the batter bowl. Not sure how. It's my favorite piece. I also love the stones. And the pitchers (these are my kids favorite. It is so easy, and fun, to make....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
athomeontheprairie Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 while we're on the topic, I want to give a shout out to their customer service... My ds2 turNed the burner on my stove on. Sadly, a glad lid was on the burner. it completely shattered. I called PC to see if they would make an exception and sell me just the lid (it wasn't open stock). instead they mailed me a brand new lid, they even paid shipping. I'm quite certain their warranty does not cover 2 year olds :-) I was very pleased with their service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redeemed7 Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 I really like the micro-cooker for steaming veggies like broccoli. I also have to second the positive reviews for the stoneware. I've been using my pizza stone for over 15 years. Oh, and the mix n' chop is great for breaking up hamburger really fine. It works great. I find it especially helpful if you like to freeze ground beef and it's not completely thawed before browning. I also really like the quick stir pitcher. I've had that one along time too. BTW, I don't sell Pampered Chef. lol I actually, have only been to a handful of shows over the years. I actually think some stuff is a bit over priced. I just think the things I mentioned a worth buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 So glad to see recommendations on here for the mix 'n chop. I dislike big chunks of ground beef or sausage and usually take my ground meat out to chop it after browning and before proceeding with my chili or whatever. Hoping the mix 'n chop that I ordered last week will alleviate that messy step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happi duck Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Another vote for the little spatula! I received mine as a thank you gift...I think it would be a great hostess or teacher gift on its own or a "bigger" gift when paired with a foil pan of brownies or a mason jar mix for bar cookies.

Momof3littles Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Stoneware. I have the stoneware muffin tin, and found one for my mom at a yard sale a year or two ago. She has a stoneware baking dish that I love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liz CA Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 The flat, round stone if you bake bread and cookies. There may now be a rectangular one as well. It's been a long time I got this one - last forever. Someone mentioned the chopper. Men love this thing and there are only three parts to clean. I like it - he loves it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kareni Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 A raised cooling rack from the Pampered Chef; it is also stackable. We use it near daily. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrapbookbuzz Posted May 7, 2014 Share Posted May 7, 2014 The glass mixing bowl. You can bake a cake in it although I haven't done that yet. The two sided mixing cups are my favorite, bar none. The garlic press. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
