I have a can strainer just like PC's, but I got it at Walmart a few years ago for under a dollar. It's handy, but I'm not sure I would pay PC's price for one.
I agree with everything you said except for the can strainer. My husband bought this product and I thought it was just going to set in a drawer . NOPE, I use that thing all the time!!! I love the pastry mat too!!! Keep the videos coming. Love y’all!
Just seeing this now, and I think the can strainer is BEAUTIFUL for sprouting, too. A lot of people grow sprouts for juicing, salads and cooking. Great product, and also, sometimes we get cans from our tiny local grocery that have dusty lids on top, even after washing, I am not comfortable using the metal lid from the can to strain foods. I do notice, though, that the video keeps saying over and over "at full price." I don't know that I have ever paid full price for any products. I even got the cooking blender for almost half price on one of the months where you saved a ton by selling over a certain amount at your gathering. ;-)
Hi! I can probably agree with most of what you've said. The Batter Mixer & Dispenser could be getting a bad review here but the Can Strainer is TOTALLY WORTH IT! I use it for canned tuna! I've purchased other can strainers from the discount stores and they break. My Pampered Chef Can Strainer is 22 years old and it is still doing it's job!
The Mix n Masher is actually a fabulous roux whisk! I use it for the best roux and for anything that requires cream cheese. I've also used it for scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, and many other things. I love both the Mix n Chop and the Mix n Mash!
I love the pastry mat! Have bought several and gave to my family. I have switched out all my baking pans, bowls, utensils and cookware with pampered chef!
I absolutely love my mix n masher for deviled eggs. It makes the yolks so smooth. Something I struggle with using just a fork. It’s not worth digging out my hand mixer for a few deviled eggs, but the mix n masher is fabulous.
Nailed it! .. I agree and more but there has been some cool items through the years. PS>. You can buy unbaked Italian/ French bread dough right from the store bakery for the cost of a loaf of bread.. 2.99- 3.99. Thanks.
You were spot on with everything. I know this because I OWN everything you mentioned and I feel the same way about them. Although I don't use my pastry mat as much anymore, but I feel it was indeed worth it.
My batter mixer and dispenser quit working after a couple of uses. It was the dispensing function that was not working. It just wouldn't catch! $52 dollars! Enjoyed your stream!
I don't like the Mix 'n Chop, either! It chops up the meat good, but the meat sticks to it, and it is SO difficult to clean!! Even after I put it in the dishwasher, I still had to use a brush to get it clean! Also when stirring with it, it pushes the meat out of the pan! 👎
I would agree with you on almost everything but the first item, the whisk,thing, I use it a lot for all kinds of things, mashing, stirring my pots so I don’t scrape my not stick pans. I have even strained things before. I don’t know what it’s purpose is but I think I use it in ways most people may not think of. It’s great for eggs and stirring lumpy things with chocolate chips. Like the brownie mix from Costco. Not a big fan of their food flavours, and somethings at any cost seem like things I don’t want to store.😮
Was given a PS cookie press. Soooooo disappointing. Made globs on the tray. I have made many spritz cookies, and the best press I ever used was my grandmother’s press. It was old old school, but each cookie pressed consistently. Only the first cookie looked good. I think the plastic disks should have been metal. The disks were also too thick. Reminded me why I don’t get into gimmicky kitchen brands.
Totally disagree with you on the Can STRAINER... BEST THING EVER. Turn it over and use it for tuna cans; completely strains all liquid out of the tuna can. SO WORTH IT!
The Caramel Latte Bread is the best. Next is the apple cinnamon is great. The rest, I think I got for free - thank you PC for parties and contests. With that said, I sorta agree with you. Get some at the store. Beer Bread is okay. I think my not worth it at the price is the oil dispensers. I got two of them at Amazon for $17.00 and the ONE on PC is 34.00 (I think). Anyway, not worth it. Nice product and idea but very expensive when I get one from amazon for half the cost and get more.
I love Pampered Chef! I have quite a large collection of pampered chef over the years, mostly from having shows and some I have acquired from estate auctions. I just recieved my latest order from a friends party Friday. The items i really do not use is the hold and slice and the apple peeler. The strainer was one of the items I ordered at the first show I ever attended. I always forget I have it to use.
Haven’t purchased a lot of PC items. I did buy the cookie press and am very disappointed in it. The dough cylinder and the lid both cracked while dispensing the cookie dough, the second time I used it. I’ve made spritz cookies for over 50 years and originally used a Mirro aluminum press, that was purchased in the 1960’s with Big Bonus stamps collected from the grocery store, but literally wore it out. I don’t remember what I paid for the PC cookie press, but it was totally not worth it. Still on the hunt for a reliable cookie press.
The most important thing that you can have in your kitchen is a good set of knives and a little training on proper knife skill, and sharpening. You can do so much that you don’t need a food processor or any special cutting guides. you don’t need garlic, presses or special avocado scoopers that cut as you scoop
Agree with all you said except the potato masher. I used to own a thingy where you can throw garlic in and turn it around and very thin slices come out. BUT the cleaning was a nightmare, so I ended up throwing it out.
We have 3 kids with one on the way, anything that takes too long to clean is just not worth it for me anymore. Some things, like the mandolin, take a long time to clean but they save so much time on the actual slicing that it becomes worth it with large batches of potatoes.
Oh my goodness. The garlic slicer is one of my favorite and most used tools. It's actually super easy to clean. I love how it comes apart for easy clean up.
Luckily I didn't have to pay for my Batter mixer thing, bc I just hosted a party. I just tried making cupcakes with it & no matter what I did, the batter wouldn't come out. Maybe I got a defective one but I'm very disappointed!
I would def talk to your comsultant. You have 30 days to return it for any reason, and then there is a warranty on top of that. I dont like that it is hard to clean, but the product should work. I've made lots of stuff with it (before I reverted to sn old fashioned bowl.) Heres a video of my wife doing a demo with it. th-cam.com/video/xuInPten7sk/w-d-xo.html
I've had that happen before, but it was user error.....I forgot to take the cover off!! 🤪🤣 But I agree, it has way too many parts and is confusing to put back together. I don't use it often so I have to pull out the paper and look at the diagram of how it goes.
Hi, Do you know of any way to repair a crack in PC stoneware? The piece has not broken apart, but you can see the crack. Heat-safe epoxy, or would bleed through and contaminate the food? Thanks for any help!
Hi. Depending on when you got your stone, it may be under warranty. Reach out to your consultant to get more details. If you dont have a consultant you can contact Anna at the contact section in the video description. Unfortunately we do t have any knowledge on reparing stone
I used to sell Pampered Chef. That said, years later, in my humble opinion, most of their products are way overpriced. Quality has gone down in recent years. The knives made in China are about the same price as ones made in Germany. The knives made in China loose their edges over time, need to be sharpened much more frequently than other brands.
Yeah too much work by hand. And those type make too many lumps. Salad/ yeah we don’t need more shit to wash either. lol Work SMARTER not HARDER! Cake mix thingy.. lol what a joke! Haha!! Use a spoon!! LOL Too funny!! My Dad and I keep finding all these “ pieces” to different who knows what. Baking goods- they can’t possibly be that fresh as they can’t sell enough to have quality. Last item.. can strainer? Yeah… LESS is MORE peeps! I agree 100 percent!
They do move a lot of certain food items. We have about 10 dulce de leche mixes in our cupboard and they are great (we got them free with host rewards.)
My wife got the cordless mixer set up for her birthday, it was about 1 year before she took it out of the box and low and behold both batteries were defective after talking to a representative they said no warranty on this unit,l was shocked l was thinking Pampered chef was a good company? Really disappointed in Pampered chef, l wouldn't recommend buying anything from these people
I'm sorry to hear that. I would strongly advise trying products within the 30 day no questions asked return period. That product did have a warranty as well, but I don't believe it was over a year.
I disagree about the can strainer. It’s one of my favorite kitchen tools because I use it all the time to drain my cans of tuna! PC’s awesome can opener doesn’t allow for you to use the lid to squish out the water. I definitely agree with everything else😃
He said not worth the price. Not that it’s not worth to have. The can strainer is a great idea but it’s used to strain and several products much less priced. Pc needs to bring items in that are unique like mix n chop. Etc.
Good job and fun to watch. My hubby loves the burger smasher. I’m also am a fan of many other PC purchases. just bought the rapid prep mandoline and I’m thinking there are too many parts for me🤷🏻♀️
I agree on everything… I just put my fingers over my cans and drain them. If it’s tuna…. I just press one side of the lid down and drain in a dish for my animals, rinse can and put lid back inside can and squeeze can together. Some things are nonsense.
I love my can strainer, especially for tuna. Using the can lid can actually introduce bacteria into your food. I absolutely love my potato masher too. I use it several times a week. I love my mix and chop but not for mashing potatoes. I don't think it gets them as smooth. The batter dispenser is a waste of money and I am glad I got it free. I never can mix my batter in it. I ended up mixing it in a bowl and then pouring it into my batter mixer to measure it out. So I stopped doing that and now I just mix my batter in a bowl and use a scoop if I want the exact same amount. I did buy the salad bowl slicer and I wish I hadn't. I have used it once a a salad bowl and never to slice my salad. Just takes up space in my pantry. I agree on the bag mixes but I make almost everything from scratch anyway. I do like the donut one but I never buy it full price. A few items I bought and now never use are the manual food processor. I either use my hand chopper or my Flex + multi prep set. I also don't see the value in the cut and store containers. Never use them. Cast iron set. I love cast iron but I hate cooking with it because it is so hard to keep clean and seasoned. PC tried but it is pretty much just the same thing just more expensive. Lastly the letters and numbers cake pan, unless you make a lot of cakes in the shape of letters and numbers it is pointless. But items that I love and use every day, mix and chop (not the new one), can opener, chef brush, mixing bowls. I also love my quick cooker (old and new) and my air frier and blender. There are so many products that I love but there are some that I agree it is a waste of money and/ or space.
I do. I think the best value is in their bake ware and stone ware. Pampered Chef quality on stones is industry leading. Their non stick bake ware is on par with any quality brand I've used and comparably priced. There are others, but those are the two that stick out to me.
Some are outrageously priced but I never haven to purchase it again. Have had less than a handful of items that broke. Whereas, but a cheaper version, breaking often.
I’ve been buying the precut salad which aren’t torn so that’s not a concern for me. I’m hoping it motivates me to buy lettuce and cabbage for chopped salads and prep it myself.
I've owned Pampered Chef stuff for years. I agreed with you 100%. I invested in several stoneware pieces, at least 15 years ago. They are still going strong. I love them. The small gadget stuff, I usually pass on those.
I agree except for Mix and Masher ..oh my I use it all the time. My mix and chop does not whip homemade mashed potatoes in seconds like the Mix and Masher. I use it for my guac especially when the avocado is not good and ripe. I use it for my rouxs a d gravy's. And hello the can strainer...I don’t have to worry about the lid cutting me or it getting stuck in the can. I rinse my canned vegetables and with the can strainer I just run the water in it shake and turn over. In my opinion having hosted a lot of PC parties...there are people who have limited budgets and you're just trying to get to the magic number...or they are willing to buy $50 order but everything is not quite there these are 2 items that can get them there... I don't sell PC I just buy it. I would have added on your list the ceramic egg cooker.
Thank you. We actually just sold the egg cooker at a garage sale fornlike 3 bucks. We used it a bit when our family was smaller. But we never used it anymore
I agree... and the can strainer is another thing to wash when you can just rinse the can. Also, you can put the bare in a cheap plastic condiment container (dollar store) if you really wanted!
I agree with all! I only have one and that's the Batter mixer & dispenser and I regret buying it. I thought it would be great for the brownie pans, to get them all even. It does not mix the brownies at all. The thing that changes the size messed up on mine so PC sent me a new one and it did the same thing. I got frustrated every time I used it. Cleaning was a pain too like you said. I thought it was going to be great but I was very disappointed.
@@KoubaKitchen the prospective buyers tune in to see what you don’t like, and as you’re describing the products you are still pointing out the features and benefits, and pitching alternatives.
I use the can strainer all the time. One of my favorites. Also, while I love my mix and chop, if I had to choose between that and the potato masher, I’d choose the potatoe masher every time
I really hate the batter mixer and dispenser. It has never worked for me. I took it apart once to clean well and it has never worked well again. I do love the can strainer, though!
Love your channel!! As a fellow PC consultant, I agree with most of what you said!! The one product for me that I do not think is worth it is the Quick Prep Food Grater!! I totally agree with the Batter Mixer and Dispenser - all the parts!! OMG!!
Yes. I belive we mentioned that one in our other "5" video. Though this other video has some unpopular choices. th-cam.com/video/PzvIJAzC0Ms/w-d-xo.html
I really love mine. I actually roll it around my rolling pin to store. If you have uneven tile counters this helps. I have 3 young grandkids and I can put it on the coffee table to be easier for them as it doesn't slide around and is easy to clean. I have bought other similar pastry mats for less money but they haven't lasted.

![Must Have Pampered Chef Products [2022]](/img/tr.png)
I have to agree with you on all of them except they can strainer. Especially on tuna cans it’s really hard to get all the water or oil off without it.
Boy, maybe I should have gotten rid of mine lol. Every one seems to like it.
I have a can strainer just like PC's, but I got it at Walmart a few years ago for under a dollar. It's handy, but I'm not sure I would pay PC's price for one.
No it’s not. You remove the lid then push the lid INTO the meat and the water (you shouldn’t be getting your fish in oil anyway) drains away easily.
100% agree!! I use mine all the time for the same thing!!
I agree with everything you said except for the can strainer. My husband bought this product and I thought it was just going to set in a drawer . NOPE, I use that thing all the time!!! I love the pastry mat too!!! Keep the videos coming. Love y’all!
Glad you you get a lot of use out of it. For someone that enjoys it, 12 bucks is a reasonable price.
I agree Paula. I love the can strainer, especially with our smooth edge can opener.
Do you not have a colander? A colander actually takes up less space because it can be stored in bowls.
And I love that you can flip it for tuna cans to squeeze out the water.
Just seeing this now, and I think the can strainer is BEAUTIFUL for sprouting, too. A lot of people grow sprouts for juicing, salads and cooking. Great product, and also, sometimes we get cans from our tiny local grocery that have dusty lids on top, even after washing, I am not comfortable using the metal lid from the can to strain foods.

I've purchased other can strainers from the discount stores and they break. My Pampered Chef Can Strainer is 22 years old and it is still doing it's job!
Glad you enjoy it. A lot of people really like it
Grateful for the review of the batter mixer. I was considering that but who needs all of that mess to deal with.
Indeed. Some people love it. It's just not for me
The Mix n Masher is actually a fabulous roux whisk! I use it for the best roux and for anything that requires cream cheese. I've also used it for scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, and many other things. I love both the Mix n Chop and the Mix n Mash!
Never tried it for a roux. Glad to hear you found me uses for it. :)
Agreed! I use it as a flat whisk all the time! I usually grab it before the regular metal whisk.
The can strainer fit perfectly in my sink garbage disposal acting as a sink strainer!
Hadn't thought of that.
I love the pastry mat! Have bought several and gave to my family. I have switched out all my baking pans, bowls, utensils and cookware with pampered chef!
You hit thr nail on the head with the good things they offer
I absolutely love my mix n masher for deviled eggs. It makes the yolks so smooth. Something I struggle with using just a fork. It’s not worth digging out my hand mixer for a few deviled eggs, but the mix n masher is fabulous.
Love it. I dont make enough deviled eggs. They are great
I also love my can strainer… it takes up no room and I use it at least once a week. I also love my pastry mat.. works great for all my sticky dough
Those are common opinions. Sometimes I am uncommon ;)
Nailed it! .. I agree and more but there has been some cool items through the years. PS>. You can buy unbaked Italian/ French bread dough right from the store bakery for the cost of a loaf of bread.. 2.99- 3.99. Thanks.
Truth.
You were spot on with everything. I know this because I OWN everything you mentioned and I feel the same way about them. Although I don't use my pastry mat as much anymore, but I feel it was indeed worth it.
Yay for agreeing :)
The pastry mat is one of my very favorite items!
For sure!!
I like the decorator instead of the pancake thing. Sure it don’t hold a whole batter mix but it works same.
Anything that gets the job done is great
My batter mixer and dispenser quit working after a couple of uses. It was the dispensing function that was not working. It just wouldn't catch! $52 dollars! Enjoyed your stream!
Im sorry to hear that. Idk how long youve had it, but they do have a warranty.
I do not like PC's mix and chop (gave it to my son) but love the mix n masher! I agree about the potato masher. I regret that one.
Thank you for letting us know :)
I don't like the Mix 'n Chop, either! It chops up the meat good, but the meat sticks to it, and it is SO difficult to clean!! Even after I put it in the dishwasher, I still had to use a brush to get it clean! Also when stirring with it, it pushes the meat out of the pan! 👎

Like the brownie mix from Costco. Not a big fan of their food flavours, and somethings at any cost seem like things I don’t want to store.😮
That's great. I love creative uses of products. :)
I agree with most…the mat to me is a bigger pain to clean than the counter and I use the can strainer a LOT!
I could see that on the mat. And a lot of people have come to defend the strainer :)
I agree with you on the salad cutting bowl! I thought I'd use it, but I ended up donating it, and I eat salad often
I totally get it
I absolutely love my mix and masher. I tried the mix and chop for mashed potatoes and wasn't impressed.
Glad you enjoy it, thats why PC still makes it. :)
Was given a PS cookie press. Soooooo disappointing. Made globs on the tray. I have made many spritz cookies, and the best press I ever used was my grandmother’s press. It was old old school, but each cookie pressed consistently. Only the first cookie looked good. I think the plastic disks should have been metal. The disks were also too thick. Reminded me why I don’t get into gimmicky kitchen brands.
PC certainly has some good products. I've never used the cookie press, but you're the second to say it's not so great. We'll just as well avoid it
You could add the wok, slow cooker and worst of all their air fryer. That doesn’t even have an on/off button.
We use our Brilliance Wok almost every day. I wasn't a huge fan of the stainless steel non-stick one. The other 2 items we use constantly.
Totally disagree with you on the Can STRAINER... BEST THING EVER. Turn it over and use it for tuna cans; completely strains all liquid out of the tuna can. SO WORTH IT!
I have heard that sooooooo many times. Glad people find it useful.
The can strainer I do use.
However, I bought mine years ago at a kitchen
store & have seen them out there for less $. I only paid a couple of dollars.
That's fair
I love my Mix N Chop!!
Great
The Caramel Latte Bread is the best. Next is the apple cinnamon is great. The rest, I think I got for free - thank you PC for parties and contests. With that said, I sorta agree with you. Get some at the store. Beer Bread is okay.
I think my not worth it at the price is the oil dispensers. I got two of them at Amazon for $17.00 and the ONE on PC is 34.00 (I think). Anyway, not worth it. Nice product and idea but very expensive when I get one from amazon for half the cost and get more.
Good thoughts. I know the newer spritzer is far better quality than the older one. I dont have a quality comparison with the other brands
My mix & mash works great for mashed potatos
That's great. Glad your enjoy it
My mix and chop broke within a year. I like the cheaper one-piece brands.
Sorry to hear you had a bad experience.
I love Pampered Chef! I have quite a large collection of pampered chef over the years, mostly from having shows and some I have acquired from estate auctions. I just recieved my latest order from a friends party Friday. The items i really do not use is the hold and slice and the apple peeler.

I have never used that one. Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you
I like the strainer. I have a bad hand and it works great
I've heard that a lot. Glad you like it
I love my pastry mat!! Bought several for gifts
Awesome
i use my can strainer to get all the water out of the tuna can
I've heard that a lot
The mix and chop I bought at another place for under five dollars and I have had it for a decade
Cool
The most important thing that you can have in your kitchen is a good set of knives and a little training on proper knife skill, and sharpening. You can do so much that you don’t need a food processor or any special cutting guides. you don’t need garlic, presses or special avocado scoopers that cut as you scoop
Truth. I love my knives. The only exception for me is the mandolin. If you're wanting to cut a tone of french fries, it is way faster that a knife.
The items are not bad items but I agree your assessments the cost is too high for the product. A very fair assessment.
:)
My batter mixer/dispenser broke too easily. So that's one thing I won't get it again.
T
Truth
The can strainer is the greatest invention ever.
Seems to be an early pattern.
I agree with you 💯!
Thank you!!
I agree with all except the can strainer . I roll my pastry mat ip around my rolling pin. Merry Christmas
That's a good idea on the pastry mat. I think I'll be adopting that.
I do too!!
I like the strainer
We've heard a lot of people think so.
Not being a gadget person myself, I agree with all of this. Love the stoneware though.
The stoneware is the best
I agree with all u said about the products
Wonderful
Agree with all you said except the potato masher. I used to own a thingy where you can throw garlic in and turn it around and very thin slices come out. BUT the cleaning was a nightmare, so I ended up throwing it out.

I agree!
Wonderful
Love your Channel!!!! Love the Batter and Mixer dispenser!!!! Do we know when the 2022 catalogs come out? Thank you!!!! From Wisconsin
Thank you for supporting our channel. New catalogs drop in march. :)
The fall catalogs are out now
I wish I hadn't bought the Batter Mixer & Dispenser...too hard to clean and put back together!
I feel ya
Luckily I didn't have to pay for my Batter mixer thing, bc I just hosted a party. I just tried making cupcakes with it & no matter what I did, the batter wouldn't come out. Maybe I got a defective one but I'm very disappointed!

I love the mix and chop! I totally agree with your review!
Thank you
I don't agree about the mixes. If you're in a hurry, they are 5 mins to mix - you don't even need a mixer - and 50 mins to cook.
Thats fair
Showing the items would have been helpful for those of us not familiar with all of the P.C. Gadgets.
I do apologize.
I used to sell Pampered Chef. That said, years later, in my humble opinion, most of their products are way overpriced. Quality has gone down in recent years. The knives made in China are about the same price as ones made in Germany. The knives made in China loose their edges over time, need to be sharpened much more frequently than other brands.
It is indeed matters of preference
Pancake mix is now $8.99
Thank you for updating the price for the sake of the video:)
Yeah too much work by hand. And those type make too many lumps.
Salad/ yeah we don’t need more shit to wash either. lol
Work SMARTER not HARDER!
Cake mix thingy.. lol what a joke! Haha!!
Use a spoon!! LOL
Too funny!!
My Dad and I keep finding all these “ pieces” to different who knows what.
Baking goods- they can’t possibly be that fresh as they can’t sell enough to have quality.
Last item.. can strainer?
Yeah… LESS is MORE peeps! I agree 100 percent!
They do move a lot of certain food items. We have about 10 dulce de leche mixes in our cupboard and they are great (we got them free with host rewards.)
I think it's easier (and cheaper) to just clean the counter myself LOL
That's fair
I hate the mix and chop..I gave mine away
Sorry you had a bad experience with it. Most people love theirs, but it can't be for everyone.
Great subject! I love watching shows like this. Thank you for your honesty. 🌺
You are welcome. Thanks for watching
My wife got the cordless mixer set up for her birthday, it was about 1 year before she took it out of the box and low and behold both batteries were defective after talking to a representative they said no warranty on this unit,l was shocked l was thinking Pampered chef was a good company? Really disappointed in Pampered chef, l wouldn't recommend buying anything from these people
I'm sorry to hear that. I would strongly advise trying products within the 30 day no questions asked return period. That product did have a warranty as well, but I don't believe it was over a year.
I make the best pies!!
Bring em on over :)
Totally did not like the mix and chop.
Sorry to hear that. Its not for everyone
Just get a rolling mat from wish or whatever. They are the same thing. I've had mine forever.
One could do that.
They are not called devices they are called utensils 😢
Unfortunately technicalities in the terminology wont redeem them.
none of that crap is worth $20
Opinions
ℒℴ𝓋ℯ the can strainer especially for beans (kidney and black) and tuna! Great product
Apparently I missed the boat on that one
The mandolin is worthless. Used it today with cabbage. Chews the food up.
Sorry to hear that. We use the rapid prep mandolin frequently for our egg rolls. We haven't observed the same issue with cabbage
King Arthur makes a great Gluten Free Brownie mix, between $6.00-7.00/box
that's great!!
The old recipe Brownie Mix was delicious but the new brownie mix taste is off.
That's a bummer. I haven't had the new ones
I disagree about the can strainer. It’s one of my favorite kitchen tools because I use it all the time to drain my cans of tuna! PC’s awesome can opener doesn’t allow for you to use the lid to squish out the water. I definitely agree with everything else😃
That is true of the Pampered Chef can opener. I guess if you use that, you kind of need the strainer.
I bought a similar item at the dollar tree
I love the can strainer, too!
same here, bought it years ago to squeeze out the liquid on the tuna, you turn it down into the can
He said not worth the price. Not that it’s not worth to have. The can strainer is a great idea but it’s used to strain and several products much less priced. Pc needs to bring items in that are unique like mix n chop. Etc.
Did not like the potato masher. I don’t keep in a drawer so folding isn’t an issue.
I feel ya.
Good job and fun to watch. My hubby loves the burger smasher. I’m also am a fan of many other PC purchases. just bought the rapid prep mandoline and I’m thinking there are too many parts for me🤷🏻♀️
I have foind the mandoline super worth it for larger projects. There is a point where i think the time for clean up is worth the time saved.
I use the can strainer all the time
I hear that a lot. Obviously my thoughts are not universal :)
I agree on everything… I just put my fingers over my cans and drain them. If it’s tuna…. I just press one side of the lid down and drain in a dish for my animals, rinse can and put lid back inside can and squeeze can together. Some things are nonsense.
Yup
The mix and chop is GOLDEN!!!
We think so too
I love my can strainer, especially for tuna. Using the can lid can actually introduce bacteria into your food. I absolutely love my potato masher too. I use it several times a week. I love my mix and chop but not for mashing potatoes. I don't think it gets them as smooth. The batter dispenser is a waste of money and I am glad I got it free. I never can mix my batter in it. I ended up mixing it in a bowl and then pouring it into my batter mixer to measure it out. So I stopped doing that and now I just mix my batter in a bowl and use a scoop if I want the exact same amount. I did buy the salad bowl slicer and I wish I hadn't. I have used it once a a salad bowl and never to slice my salad. Just takes up space in my pantry. I agree on the bag mixes but I make almost everything from scratch anyway. I do like the donut one but I never buy it full price. A few items I bought and now never use are the manual food processor. I either use my hand chopper or my Flex + multi prep set. I also don't see the value in the cut and store containers. Never use them. Cast iron set. I love cast iron but I hate cooking with it because it is so hard to keep clean and seasoned. PC tried but it is pretty much just the same thing just more expensive. Lastly the letters and numbers cake pan, unless you make a lot of cakes in the shape of letters and numbers it is pointless. But items that I love and use every day, mix and chop (not the new one), can opener, chef brush, mixing bowls. I also love my quick cooker (old and new) and my air frier and blender. There are so many products that I love but there are some that I agree it is a waste of money and/ or space.
Thank you for your comment. There are so many products and very few that are universally loved. It's great to have so many opinions. :)
I wash my cans first....I wash all containers that need to be opened like that or cut open with a knife or scissors too
the strainer is great for tuna cans. turn it the other way and push inside to smash turn to drain
We have heard of that use a lot. Thats great :)
Honestly do you think ANY of PC items are fairly priced? I don't.
I do. I think the best value is in their bake ware and stone ware. Pampered Chef quality on stones is industry leading. Their non stick bake ware is on par with any quality brand I've used and comparably priced.
There are others, but those are the two that stick out to me.
Some are outrageously priced but I never haven to purchase it again. Have had less than a handful of items that broke.
Whereas, but a cheaper version, breaking often.
I’ve been buying the precut salad which aren’t torn so that’s not a concern for me. I’m hoping it motivates me to buy lettuce and cabbage for chopped salads and prep it myself.
I usually get the pre cut stuff too
I've owned Pampered Chef stuff for years. I agreed with you 100%. I invested in several stoneware pieces, at least 15 years ago. They are still going strong. I love them. The small gadget stuff, I usually pass on those.
A lot of the gadgets are cool in principle, then just dont get used. Its kind if like music, there are fads and there are classics.
@Dauphin
Numerous pampered chef items are not bad, but they are still overpriced and there are many brands of fine knives that are far superior.
I agree except for Mix and Masher
..oh my I use it all the time. My mix and chop does not whip homemade mashed potatoes in seconds like the Mix and Masher. I use it for my guac especially when the avocado is not good and ripe. I use it for my rouxs a d gravy's. And hello the can strainer...I don’t have to worry about the lid cutting me or it getting stuck in the can. I rinse my canned vegetables and with the can strainer I just run the water in it shake and turn over.
In my opinion having hosted a lot of PC parties...there are people who have limited budgets and you're just trying to get to the magic number...or they are willing to buy $50 order but everything is not quite there these are 2 items that can get them there... I don't sell PC I just buy it. I would have added on your list the ceramic egg cooker.
Thank you. We actually just sold the egg cooker at a garage sale fornlike 3 bucks. We used it a bit when our family was smaller. But we never used it anymore
I love the can strainer for tuna I would buy this item over and over I do not use it for anything else though 😂
Anna doesn't let me eat Tuna in the house lol. :)
I love pampered chef but so many of these types of items can also be bought elsewhere for much less.
This is true. There are some things that are a better value from PC, even if not always the best price. But this isn't universal.
I agree... and the can strainer is another thing to wash when you can just rinse the can. Also, you can put the bare in a cheap plastic condiment container (dollar store) if you really wanted!
Yup
Batter*
I agree with all! I only have one and that's the Batter mixer & dispenser and I regret buying it. I thought it would be great for the brownie pans, to get them all even. It does not mix the brownies at all. The thing that changes the size messed up on mine so PC sent me a new one and it did the same thing. I got frustrated every time I used it. Cleaning was a pain too like you said. I thought it was going to be great but I was very disappointed.
It's great in theory. It just didn't work for us in practice
I agree with you, except for the can strainer. I use it on Every can. I especially love it to strain tuna.
We have heard that a lot. Im glad people like it
Agree with all especially the strainer. Would never pay that high cost. I do have one not a PC and I paid $1.00 - never use
People do seem to like it. But its not for me.
Your marketing model here is very interesting. Takes a bent that I hadn’t thought of.
How do you mean?
@@KoubaKitchen the prospective buyers tune in to see what you don’t like, and as you’re describing the products you are still pointing out the features and benefits, and pitching alternatives.
I think I can agree. I have most of the tools and don’t use them much. I think all of their edibles are high priced.
Truth
So glad I watched this, was considering the batter dispenser and brownie mix but not now.
Just my opinions, glad you found them useful.
Love the can strainer!
I do hear a lot of people like it. :) glad you do
I subscribed and liked
Thank you!!!
I agree!
:)
I use the can strainer all the time. One of my favorites. Also, while I love my mix and chop, if I had to choose between that and the potato masher, I’d choose the potatoe masher every time
Thank you. Many people have felt the same way :)
I really hate the batter mixer and dispenser. It has never worked for me. I took it apart once to clean well and it has never worked well again. I do love the can strainer, though!
I really wanted to like the Batter dispenser. It does do what it says, we haven't had the same issue with it not working, but cleaning is a bear.
I agree!
Yay us :)
I think the mandolin is way overpriced. I had a party to get it! It is great when you have hand issues!
Love your channel!! As a fellow PC consultant, I agree with most of what you said!! The one product for me that I do not think is worth it is the Quick Prep Food Grater!! I totally agree with the Batter Mixer and Dispenser - all the parts!! OMG!!
Yes. I belive we mentioned that one in our other "5" video. Though this other video has some unpopular choices.

thanks for your honesty.
We sure try
Agree on all except the pastry mat That’s way too much for that item
I could see that. I use it a lot, but coild definitely see it not being worth it to people.
I really love mine. I actually roll it around my rolling pin to store. If you have uneven tile counters this helps. I have 3 young grandkids and I can put it on the coffee table to be easier for them as it doesn't slide around and is easy to clean. I have bought other similar pastry mats for less money but they haven't lasted.
