Cooks Essentials

It looks like the Cooks Essentials line is quite limited on inventory. I guess they are converting the house brand name to Prepology. I think when that line first came out it was primarily small kitchen tools but now the line has expanded into kitchen electrics etc. I really enjoyed Cara DiFalco.

@Suneshine

I liked Blue Jean chef Meredith Laurence a lot. She had a cooking teaching quality about her and had experience in some notable restaurants.

The QVC proprietary cookware line has changed names a few times such as Technics to Cooks Essentials. Can't remember if the vendor rep changed during this transition i.e. from Bob Warden to Meredith.

They've had 3 Cook's Essentials reps since Meredith left, looks like they're struggling with an identity this time.

Years ago, I bought a Cook's Essentials Pot-Belly Cookware set in the shiny stainless....absolutely loved it...had it for 'years' until the non-stick started flaking off. I would love to see that 'color' offered again instead of all the multi-colors they show now.

@Texas Gray Wolf I remember that cookware. I have it. I bought almost everything Cook's Essentials and Technique and they are still going strong. I have so many that I never use the same piece twice in one week. I was also hoping that Techinique would be back but if it did, it would never be the same like of old.

@Texas Gray Wolf,

I still have quite a few of those pieces.The pot belly style was beautiful.

Is Cara DiFalco still with Cooks Essentials?

Unfortunatly, I don't think she is. The brand is not presented at all. She was a wonderful representative. I liked when the rep. actually cooked. She does have a strong presence on social media.

There are two threads with basically the same content; here's a link to the other one, where I recently posted some updated information about Cara and Cooks Essentials based on a question from earlier today:
