Pampered Chef

**Marigold2** · 05-26-2011, 10:42 AM

I bought some items years ago when I had parties. Some I use and some I don't use at all.
I find that a lot of people now a days are cutting back on baked goods (cookies, cakes, tarts) and eating more fruits and salads.
I do love the spatulas.
The stones are too heavy and I don't bake that often any more.
Love the bowls.
The cookwear was pretty good. I used it for about seven years and then bought a new set from a store which I love, love, love.
Wishing you the best of luck.

thank you for listing all of your favorites

That will be a huge help to me! We STILL don't know when we're leaving despite the fact that we are supposed to be out of here by the 1st

I don't think they are going to meet their own deadline! Oh well, one more paycheck for us if my hubby continues to work into June

Any update on when you'll be stateside?

Nothing official yet. We were supposed to be home on the 1st of June but THAT obviously didn't happen. At this point we don't even have paperwork saying that we are leaving so I would be surprised if we were home before the week of the 20th. We are told that is HAS to be before the end of June so at most we have less than 4 weeks to go.

I can't wait to see my family and my fur babies! We sent Boomer and Sooner ahead of us to escape the summer embargoes and they are currently staying with family. I miss them like crazy!

I am sure they miss you, too! If by any chance (unlikely but ...) you end up going through Logan airport, let us know, as that's right near us!

My very favorite item is the ice cream scoop. It uses the heat from your hand to warm a liquid (paraffin?) in the core of the scoop and so makes perfect scoops of even very hard and cold ice cream

Another item I use most every day is the glass bowl with a handle and lid. I have two sizes and love them as they are measuring bowls, oven-proof baking bowls, mixing bowls and storage bowls....all in one. Pampered Chef *is* pricy but great for gifts and they have so many hard to find items that you would have to look for at a gourmet cooking store. That is why they are called "pampered" chef I guess

Will do

I love the pizza tray. (Round cooking tray) Just scrape it. The bread doesn't stick to it. Clean with warm water only. No soap since it is ceramic.

I have some bread pans but don't use them. Shame on me.

Were I to get more, I would make sure that what I cook meat on is not used to vegetables or foods like breads or cookies. The ceramic does absorb juices from food.

Good luck with your venture
