PamperedChef

I am doing an intense decluttering of my kitchen in an effort to find places to put away many things I brought home from camp. Going well, and I have boxes of stuff I am taking to Goodwill. Today I just realized that much of what I am getting rid of is stuff I bought from Pamered Chef. I am keeping my knife block and knives & my pizza stone but I realize that most of what is in those boxes to be donated are impulse buys from PC that I never use.Plus I had a large cassarole from there too, that I gave to a neighbor.

Be careful what you buy from these home parties. They are fun and all , but you don't want to end up like me - giving it all away.

I know what you mean ! I never used the PC items I bought to help out a friend who gave a party, just so she’d get points. 😳

I was never attracted to their products. Not that that makes me special or superior, as there are many other kitchen things I've been attracted to and over purchased. My box would just be full of something of a different brand! LOL

Yesterday, I was on the Pampered Chef website. I am looking to replace all my Pampered Chef spatulas. I really like them but they are getting beat up.

It is funny I bought many food items but never cooked them. Ended up throwing them all away.

No one sells Pampered Chef - that I know. So was wondering if I should buy from website or see if I can find someone still selling it.

PS - Same with Home Decor - oh all the stuff I bought. And then after awhile just tossed.
I seem to be an expert at impulse shopping.

I once stupidly donated my large Pampered Chef cutting board with a groove around it and later realized that I couldn’t find one I liked nearly as well. I bought another one a few years ago and it’s never going away!

My pampered chef pizza stone is my favorite kitchen tool. Leftover pizza tastes just like fresh;also reheats grilled sandwiches, bakes cookies, biscuits, rolls.

I agree - we love home made pizza - I use my stone a lot.

Reading this just reminded me that I have one of their pizza stones somewhere. I don't think I've used it since I moved into this house almost 12 years ago. I had a friend that used to sell Pampered Chef and I bought a few items for her just to help her out.

@sweetee2 I had one of these but it was much too heavy for my arthritic hands to lift. I gave it away a long time ago.

I really have to work hard to resist the temptation to buy kitchen items, since I cook so little now. But PC is awesome. Have a yard sale. (yeah, easy for me to say)

I always went to home parties when I first married & boy, believe it or not back then it was every week some one had them.

I have batter bowls, spatulas, baking stones,small gadgets & bakeware & moreI purchased over 30 years ago from Pampered Chef -- I'm still using these "core" everyday pieces. In fact, tonight I thought geez these kitchen shears are still sharp after all these years. Years ago when they came out with their "terra-cotta" baker I bought it and am still using it occasionally.

Back in my younger & leaner years it was a great way to socialize and get "free" things I couldn't afford and of course, I'd do the

same for friends (buy something) so they could get the same!

I have found PC to still be a quality company! A few years ago I ordered a "lifetime" supply (lol) of their small, large & batter spatulas!😉. they are the best!!!

@homedecor1 Their spatulas are the best. I have several of the mini serving and one of the large metal spatulas. Have used them for many years, and the only one that looks bad is the one that I melted the handle on when sitting it against a cast iron pot. Still not throwing it away though....

Love those!

I have to say that every pampered chef item that I have purchased has been pretty good.

I love my mini / large metal spatula and spreaders & I know they are 30+ years old. I replaced the small one with the OXO brand very comparable. I've only been buying OXO when I need to replace one of my everyday pieces.

PC in my opinion is "quality"

I gave away the mixing bowl set, the stoneware, and some of the other items last year. And I'll add along with the Longaberger and all but 2 pieces of the Tupperware, and the Corning Ware went a long time ago, except for the long oval roaster I got for a wedding gift--and basically never used! LOL!

It's not that the stuff isn't good quality - it's that I never use it.I never use the little cheese cutters to make shaped cheese for appetizers or the tube thingy that you make shaped bread in for fancy sandwiches. Stoneware quiche pan has been used about twice in 20 years.

@151949

Isn't this the truth!!! I have those tubes also..still in the original wrapper. The one item I've used 1000's of times is the fruit garnishing set (the tool like a mini crinkle cut) ... I always make a "knock off" edible arrangement when I'm having guests for a special occassion & this little tool is the perfect thing!

As for many of my other gadgets == well, let's just say they have found a home in my baking pantry (overstock) drawer..

I always managed to avoid attending one of those Pampered Chef parties.
