momtolgd Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 A friend of mine is having a Pampered Chef party soon. I would like to know what items you have that you find useful and are great to have. What are your favorites? BTW, I already have a pizza stone, so I won't be ordering another one of those! ;) Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I use the stoneware muffin pans a couple times a week - love them. I really like the spreaders - they have these really nice wide ones that I can use to make sandwiches really quick. I also really like their mini servers - it's like a tiny spatula that works great for serving brownies or cakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen sn Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The apple slicer. My dd loves it. It's easy to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearLair Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Best advice would be to stay home!:lol: I just can't resist some of their stuff! I guess all time favorite would be the stones, any of them. Husbands favorite is the ice-cream scooper. Enjoy the party! BearLair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy in Indy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 OOOOOH...better question: What don't I like? I love my 9x13 and 9x9 stones--use them two or three times a week. (They're the glazed ones and make lovely serving dishes.) Bamboo spoons and nylon tools. Pizza cutter. Kitchen shears. Can opener. Kitchen knives. Small bamboo serving spoons. Apple peeler. Any stone. (I have two pizza ones and would love to have a third.) Rice cooker. Cheese grater. There's so much to choose from! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Well, I only have two Pampered Chef items, and I'm not even sure if they are still sold, but I find both of them absolutely indispensible. 1. Not sure of the name, but it's a plastic tube with pastry-bag type fittings on the end and a "plunger" that attaches to a handle that pushes whatever you put in the tube out through the pastry tips. I use it every time I make deviled eggs, which is every time we get together with dh's family (they request them.) 2. Again, not sure of the name but it's a triangular shaped pie and cake knife that's serrated on both edges and slips into a plastic sheath. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdie Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I use their medium scoop all the time. It is the perfect size for making cookies or filling a mini-muffin tin. I also love their pizza cutter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyJoy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I really like my pizza cutter and spatulas. I've had them for 6 years and they are still great. I hate to admit it, but I've never used my rectangular stone, pizza stone, or large casserole dish in 6 years! They were a wedding gift and I've never used them. I should break them in soon before my Pampered Chef-loving friends break in and take them off my hands!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
specialmama Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The apple slicer. My dd loves it. It's easy to use. :iagree:We love ours too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mari Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The micro-cookers!!! They are great for cooking frozen veggies and heating leftovers. Also, I really like the new prep bowls with lids. Oh...I have my eye on the family pitcher with the plunger to make juice from concentrate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhM Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Second the silicone spatulas - I bought my latest one 10+ yrs ago, because the first one, which I bought about 18 yrs ago was looking worn - still have it - a little raggedy, but still works great! And neither one is stained. The mini-chopper gets alot of use, too, as well as the batter bowl and dry/liquid measuring cup (with the sliding insert to do peanut butter and shortening type stuff).

WTMindy Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I love my smart chopper!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Very popular with my DD's friends when she was in preschool through about 2nd grade. And the big slicer thing, I forget what it's called, but it is so well made. You put on a cucumber or apple and push it back and forth and it slices it, perfectly, almost without effort. Like having a food processor without needing electricity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in the Country Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I love their stoneware. I use the 13 x 9 pan the most, but I also think the loaf pans make the best bread. I think those two pieces of stoneware (and the pizza stone) would be the ones I'd miss the most if I didn't have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Keeper Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The stoneware bar pan. I have two and I use them on a daily basis--I don't use any other cookie pans/ baking sheet. Great for deep dish pizza, biscuits, cookies, breads and breadsticks; nice for even browning with baked chicken and fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigitte Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 The stoneware mini loaf pan. I love it for quick breads and meatloaf. Sadly, my round pizza stone is broken. I need to have a party :tongue_smilie: since all my Pampered Chef stuff was free from my one and only party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiller Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Well, I certainly don't have all the Pampered Chef things that I would like but of what I do have. . . these are my favs: batter bowl veg. peeler ~ haven't found a better one anywhere silicone spatulas ~ they really don't stain!!! Stones!!!! ~ french fries and pizza wouldn't be as good without them Apple slicer ~ kiddos love this one : ) whisk sm. metal spatula (not sure what it's exact name is but I love it) Okay, I don't think there is anything I own of theirs that I don't just LOVE!

JudoMom Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I love the Master Scraper and the Easy Read Measuring Cups (and the Mini Cup). I also love the color coated knifes (here's a link to the bread knife). I have a Pampered Chef Fairy (my aunt) and there isn't much I don't have or haven't had.

KJB Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Garlic Press! It's the best one I've ever used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I love the big spatula. I also like my shakers. I have 2, one for powdered sugar and one for cinnamon and sugar mixed. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kari C in SC Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I don't have time to really write now, but I LOVE everything I have ever gotten. I have had 2 parties and got most of it close to free. I love their stuff. I use it all daily. Will come back later to write more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ali in OR Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I don't think I have anything I don't like. What I use the most: Batter bowl Silicone spatula Silicone spoon Garlic Press Medium cutting board If I ever go to another party I want the medium cookie dough scoop someone mentioned.

Ashkraw Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 My favorite all time item is the mini spatula's (use daily), food chopper, stoneware bar pan (use all the time), cheese grater (use even for carrots), pizza stone and muffin stone, steamer for veggies, and my newest favorite the microwave rice cooker. I no longer overflow on the stove. You are going to have a great time at the party. Monica:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnmomofboys Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 How funny! I had several items in mind but as I read each post....reminded me that I liked that too. I have a lot of Pampered Chef and think you pretty much can't go wrong. But here are my top 4: Mandolin cutter - expensive, but if it wears out, I will be buying another one. It makes perfectly sliced EVERYTHING! The Chopper thingy The Garlic Press The Cheese Grater - so much, that I have 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn in Mo Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I agree about the mini-server - it's round $4.00 and I use it all the time. If you can pickles or fry green tomatoes or zucchini, I think you'd love the mandolin. It's expensive, but we use it a LOT. Perfect for slicing potatoes, too. Ooh! The Can Opener. I LOVE IT!!!!! Would replace in a heartbeat if I lost it. The bamboo spatulas and spoons - same thing. The whisk is incredible. I had 3, but threw them all away when I got hold of this one. I don't care for the muffin stone. It's a pain to clean. But we use several stones almost daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtolgd Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 Thanks so much for all of the great suggestions! I'll be looking through the online catalog at all of them tomorrow! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hi_itsgwen Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I LOVE the hand chopper thingy. I wore one out, and went on a quest to find one that was just as good. There isn't one. I finally broke down and bought another PC one, and found out that there's a warranty on it! :) I use it to chop onions and garlic (which I use in almost everything), veggies for soups, chocolate, etc. etc. It opens up and fits into the dishwasher, so it's simple to clean. It keeps me from having to haul out my big food processor. I love the stainless steel scoops too (but I bought mine at Publix for a lot less). Mini-server, spatulas, whisk...lots of great things! My Mom has the knives with the slide on covers, and we all love those too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 What don't I love. You can't ever have enough stoneware. I have the pizza stone, 2 large bar pans, a medium bar pan, and the small bar pan, 2 loaf pans (makes the best bread ever), the mini loaf pan, and the discontinued stoneware roaster and lid. The lid can also be used as a roaster on its own. The stoneware works great in the microwave and on the grill. Just love the stuff. The garlic press-fabulous. The chopper-great for kids the cake/pie knife The spreaders The pizza cutter The batter bowls The Santoku knife is very nice, and I have the bread knife The apple slicer The mini prep bowls. I thought I would never use them and I use them all the time. The spatulas, the whisks, all good. I am beginning to think I may need a support group.
