I am a long time customer (and former sales rep) of Pampered Chef. I have literally tons of products. I wanted to post my must haves that I feel would be great in ANY kitchen. Some of them are retired, some are reworked (new and improved) but most of them you can find on Pampered Chef, Ebay or Amazon. Check them out... And if you like my blog.. Please subscribe!!
Spiral Whisk
The Spiral Whisk was discontinued a long while ago. Though they have a flat version that replaces it, THIS whisk is the bomb! I use it for making gravy or mixing in seasoning packets for recipes. It does the best job and I love it so much that when my German Shepard year old puppy decided to chew it to pieces, I had to go to Ebay to purchase another one. Of course since it IS no longer available, the whisk was overpriced. However, it was worth it to me and I'd buy it again.
Pampered Chef Food Chopper
One of their most popular kitchen tools, the Food Chopper makes quick work of chopping veggies, cooked meat, and nuts in seconds. It’s the solution to tear-free onion chopping! It’s equipped with a unique stainless steel blade that rotates with each press of the plunger for consistent results. The more you press the plunger, the finer the chop. This is definitely a must have in the kitchen and one of my most used products.
Garlic Press
While it is easier to buy a jar of chopped or minced garlic, it doesn't replace pressing your own. I found that when I use fresh garlic, my dishes come out so much more flavorful. I do use garlic in a jar, but just in a pinch when I don't have garlic bulbs in my refrigerator.
Gravy Separator
I don't know why this is called a "Gravy Separator" because there is no gravy in there. Why not call it a Grease Separator? This is a great invention. Some find that this particular one is hard to use because of the design and I did give this as a gift, so don't have this particular one. You can find different brands at the store. The one I have is just a pitcher with a long spout coming from the bottom. Really, they all work fine. The trick is to wait until the grease rises to the top and then when you first start pouring the juice from the container, pour some in a separate cup, since the first initial pour does have grease on top. I love this gadget so it had to be mentioned.. Just buy a cheaper one instead.
Quick Stir Pitcher
The quick Stir Pitcher mixes everything from Koolaid, tea, lemonaid, infused water and Cafe Mocha. The plunger mixes drinks from the bottom quickly and easily. It fits perfectly in the door of your refrigerator. Definitely a must have for the summer!
Pampered Chef Stoneware
I have a LOT of Pampered Chef Stones. I have a couple favorites. My most used one is the 9 x 13 baker. I also have a great round pizza stone and the most perfect deep dish pie plate I have ever seen. I love the flute edges because it makes every pie look beautiful! The reason I had to pie plate is because of the recipe below:
Doesn't that look so yummy? I make this pie every 4th of July and then at least one more time during the summer. It is so fresh and impressive when I bring it to the table or picnic that I am going too.
Pizza Cutter
This pizza cutter was one of my first Pampered Chef purchases. This along with the pizza stone. It cuts pizza with ease because it is super sturdy. They did make a modification to it by adding a crust cutter "knife" to the top of it. Now, not only does it have the pizza wheel, but you can also flip it over and cut the crust, no matter what shape of pan you have. Including pans with high sides or rims.
Pampered chef Scrapers
I have several of the Pampered Chef scrapers. The Mix 'N Scraper is the biggest and is great when mixing up cake or cookie batter. It helps incorporate all the ingredients together. I also really love the skinny scraper because it will get every bit of peanut butter out of the jar. It is also good for Miracle Whip or Mayonnaise. There is no modifying these products. They need absolutely no improvements at all.
Pampered Chef Cookbooks
Most all of Pampered Chefs Cookbooks are wonderful but if you just want to try a few recipes, I do recommend their season's best cookbooks. They are small, have the best recipes, and are only $2.00. It includes 15 of their favorite recipes that you can make in about 30 minutes—for about $2 per serving—using easy-to-find ingredients. Each recipe teaches cooking skills that help make cooking better and easier, and there's a helpful cooking skills glossary, too. Check out their other cookbooks as well. They are always coming out with new ones that are chocked full of fantastic recipes.
My Pampered Chef Wish List
Of course even though I have a ton of Pampered Chef they are always coming out with new things or there are a few items I want to get. This includes are really good grill press for bacon or grilled sandwiches.
I also want their knife set because it looks awesome! It's $369.00, so a bit pricey, but looks like a really great set! It has everything you need to start a collection of high-quality cutlery. These sharp, fully forged knives will make meal prep so much easier. Includes six knives, Kitchen Shears, Honing Tool, and a Knife Block.
