ITKWD - new kitchen item suggestions?

CAcableGirl2 — Tue, 07 Jan 2020 04:18:29 GMT

As I'm here reading the various comments about wanting to see some new kitchen items and the items they are selling on ITKWD becoming stale, I thought I would see if anyone has any suggestions on what they are using in their own kitchen that they really like.

Maybe the folks at QVC could take a look and get some new ideas.

Personally, I have this in my kitchen, keep it under the sink, and use all the time for drying dishes over the sink. It rolls up to store, and I use it almost every day.

Could be used for drying dishes over the sink, rinsing fruits and vegetables over the sink, also used as a trivet. It's lightweight with silicone on both ends, and rolls up.

I love mine.

Google "over sink roll up dish drying rack"

They sell this in 2 sizes on HSN as part of Curtis Stone's collection. It has been sold there for several years. It is great - I've got it in both sizes.

I purchased a large red one from Curtis Stone during his last HSN visit.There is also a small one available. I love LocknLock and have lots, but would love to see more variety of kitchen pantry storage, from different companies.

@Havarti GMTA, but you type faster!😁 At first I thought I would only use mine over the sink, but I have found several practical uses for it. It's one of those things you don't realize you need, until you have one.

@CAcableGirl2 ~ I love mine too! It has so many wonderful uses.

Too bad I didn't think of it.🤔 Don't know if Curtis did, but kudos to the person who thought of it and brought it to fruition! 👏🏻🤑

I have given those as gifts and I kept 2 of them.

I love them. I have a double sink in kitchen. I lay one of those over one sink. Then I put a kitchen towel over the rack.

I also have the Curtis Stone rack in white. Use it all the time.

I am surprised QVC hasn't produced their own version of this trivet. I have 2 of the larger size from Curtis Stone and want to get at least one of the smaller ones.

I also have both sizes of these from CS's line and like them very much. I pretty much use mine as trivets under those plasticky (whatever that material is - great boards) OXO cutting boards and other non-wood cutting mats that I use daily. They are perfect for that!

I have seen them on Amazon. I have one from Curtis Stone and I leave it over one side of my sink all the time. When items like L n L and plastic items don't fully dry in the dishwasher, I put them on this rack to dry.

I see no need for QVC to carry these since they are sold on HSN. Tired of seeing the same items on both channels.

ITA with you on that. No disrespect intended towards the OP at all, but I see a lot of threads over the years here asking about QVC carrying all kinds of items that you can easily get elsewhere, and probably in the case of many of them for much less (Fiesta is a good example of that).

If everybody sold all the same stuff that would be pretty boring. Well, it would make the items cheaper from some retailers, but I'm pretty sure that QVC would not be one in that category.

This whole QVC/hsn thing now with the cross-selling of the same vendor products seems odd to me. I think one thing that makes it weird is that one will sell the exact same thing for a completely different price than the other. I just hope people comparison shop.

I'm not anti-QVC or anything. But it has its place and its place is not really for every kind of merchandise.

I'll have to try that over the sink rack. I have a foldable wooden one but could use that downstairs. I find under-the-sink storage a challenge. I wish QVC would offer various items for this type of storage. I keep my cleaning supplies, trash/paper bag storage, etc. Anyways it's a battle pulling things from the back and around the pipes: there's gotta be a better way.

I must admit, as much as I used to look forward to ITKWD, I simply cannot watch much of it anymore. Nothing much is new, same vendors, products, etc. Never really liked Bob Bowersox, but I did enjoy his shows: he actually cooked - really cooked using the products he was selling; something David does not do. At best, David dumps a bunch of pre-measured ingredients into a bowl and walla - that' it!

I'm also so sick and tired of Stacy/Mary reporting on what's coming up, what others are saying/doing online, etc. I feel these distactions are just fillers. I also don't need colors called out twenty-five times. A couple times would suffice.

So more product diversity and totally completing recipes on the show would get my interest back!
