just watched carolyn describe item k43223 as a 17" diameter circulon grill pan.

description is actually 13". why has someone not corrected her?

@alisamYou just did.

Hopefully buyers will notice. They can see the diameter on their computer orders or if they do a phpone order, the operstors always repeat that kind of info to try to make certain we get what we think we're supposed to.

For all the rest of us - just not a big deal. What would we do with a pan 17" in diameter? Is there such a thing?

Ive noticed nobody ever seems to correct TV shopping hosts. This morning Allison on Evine was demoing a pressure cooker and kept calling it an air fryer.

The hosts should make sure the info is correct, that's what they get paid the big bucks for. There are a lot of older folks who shop the Q and rely on these hosts to give them the right info, that's their job after all.

The blue card the hosts look at may have had incorrect information on it.

a 17" grill pan would be nice for a big grill.

I'm convinced when new vendors attend the how-to class they are instructed to not contradict the hosts even if they are wrong.

I've heard Bob Mackie correct them several times. I think it depends on the vendor, & maybe even the host. I like when they correct them, I do NOT like false info.

I heard Gabrielle & Dennis Basso in the wee hrs this morning. She seemed to have a difficult time getting anything said. She stumbled thru most all that I watched. I have not seen her in awhile, but she was horrible today.
