For the low down on Pamper’s Chef. Consultant showed us the new stuff and they have a little pamphlet with the new stuff. One item is a veggie strip maker set (comes with a smaller cook book, cost $16.50) - it is all plastic, but the plastic is hard enough to cut these strip of veggies - for example she made zucchini pancakes which had a little cheese but tasted wonderful. Says carrots can even work with this strip maker.
PC is coming out with healthier eating theme - I guess they realize they need to capture people who are getting away from processed foods. And dieting so preparing low calorie options.
They have an update on their measure, mix and pour ($13.50) which has healthy salad dressing recipes on the side of the product (old one had higher calorie recipes). Have to place an order after Sept 1 when the ‘healthy’ measure mix and pour will be available.
We use bamboo tongs (which use to be very reasonable, like $2) but now are $8 - bought for my kids’ kitchens.
They have some handy kitchen gadgets like a Kernel Cutter (strip corn off the cob). I gave one to my sis (who lives in Iowa and gets fresh corn to can/freeze).
I am getting large round stone for kids’ kitchens - for making pizza in oven or heating frozen/fresh prepared pizza. Use my stone products a lot.
They have a couple of ‘keep it hot’ carrier products - one is a hot cookware sweater (2 sizes available) that is made out of that neoprene material (like potholders that can take really high heat). They show it with their Rockcrok Casserole/4 qt covered casserole, and Dutch Oven and 8 qt stockpots.
Another is a versatile carrier that has the straps inside to hold in their deep covered baker (which I use heavily - cooks things in microwave and tastes like oven baked - frozen lasagna etc) and can hold two levels of 9 X 13 baking pan with the cooling rack as the 2nd level support. Says can hold up to 30 lb.
They have a medium and large cover for sheet pans - they are pretty proud of their sheet pans ($16 and $19) - their cover and store lids are unique, $16 and $19. They have a brownie pan and a muffin pan that you can use the cover and store lid on. I got the kids the brownie pan (sections like a muffin pan). If I get a sheet pan lid, I want to make sure one of my sheet pans will work and save $19.
Out of all of my PC items, the one I absolutely would not give up is my deep covered baker (I have bought for kids’ kitchens along with the covered baker recipe book). We heavily use the skinny scraper (spatula) and bamboo tongs. Love to make pizza on the pizza stone.
If you don’t have a very good pizza cutter, they have a new one that also has a separate edge for crust cutting; $15.
So have a few more things to add to my kitchen and my kids’ kitchens.
