Lock 'n Lock

Kachina624 — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 17:19:55 GMT

Mary Beth and Chris Prime did a show this morning. First MB told us we needed glass mixing bowls instead of stainless steel so we don't worry about them rusting. What?

Then Chris pointed out that we could make a lasagna in a round mixing bowl. How?

These two were on a tear with ridiculous suggestions, acting as though they didn't have a brain between them.

I'm sick, sick of Lock 'n Lock shows, can you tell?

@Kachina624 What can be said about Lock and Lock that hasn't been covered in at least 20 years, give or take, that it has been presented. So, in the need to sell, the spiel goes from the sublime to the ridiculous. I haven't watched QVC in years, shop online only, but your thread was a good reminder of why I stopped watching.
Look at it this way, at least it got you fired up for a bit, albeit not in a good way. Lol

I hardly ever see Mary Beth anymore. She must be on more during the day. She does not hold my attention at all. I find her boring. Not that she has to entertain me, but she is kind of dull and has that fake laugh.

I should make it a resolution to not bash the hosts. So, "here's the thing," -- I could not do that job. If QVC is happy with their hosts and sales, so be it. I don't have to participate.

I don't know why anyone watches QVC anymore. All they do is complain about it, thread after thread after thread.

Chris P's departure is long overdue.

"Here's the thing" @Puppy Lips, I agree with you.

@fthunt Here's the thing: when someone leaves, it's often said their departure is long overdue.

@Puppy Lips I agree and, while Mary Beth may be a lovely person, I can't watch her.

I like Chris and I have an unhealthy love of L&L. That being said I follow Chris on Instagram and order L&L online. If I watch more than an hour of the Q a week it is usually EARLY Mon. evening. Let me assure you you can order a lot without watching on TV.

@QVCkitty1 I, too, am addicted to Lock n Lock with well over 200 pieces. I keep telling myself "no more", but then I find another piece I "need". Sigh

Some of my neighbors or friends don't watch QVC, so I'm always losing a piece here and there. I like Chris, she's a happy person, so whats not to like. I have bought nothing that I don't use every day or week. I'm a happy buyer.

@Puppy Lips I agree, and it's gotten worse over the past few years. She acts like she's a brand new host. The other day she was hosting a food show. As the vendor was describing the item, MBR kept saying "wow" over and over.

Made homemade soup,put in large bowl,now the top will not come off.I put hot water on top with no results What can I do now?

I usually take a butter knife when this happens and gently slide it in to break the vaccuum. It happens if I put the top on while items are still too warm.

@bewise - Try to put the bowl in enough very cold water so it covers the lid. Since L&L is leak proof it should be okay. Hot makes things expand while cold makes things contract. Maybe it will help the lid come off. Good luck.

While I like Mary Beth just fine, I can see where her less than vivacious personality

might make some folks a bit bored.

However....I NEVER thought I would run into anyone on this earth who did not absolutely LOVE Chris Prime.

I mean, what is it that you don't like?

Her cheerful and wholesome demeanor?

Her thoroughly prepared presentations with both pertinent and anecdotal information

regarding the particular piece she is showing?

Her "just plain folks" decency that is such a welcomed addition to the day of anyone who watches QVC whether for shopping, background noise, or companionship?

I think that both she and the equally pleasant, professional and enjoyable Kitchen Aid

lady should buy houses on either side of me. Every single day would be "A beautiful day in the neighborhood!"
