As a Pampered Chef consultant who only became one after using the
products for years, I have to adamently disagree with you. The
Pampered Chef products are QUALITY. They work well, are multi
versatile and with the warranties the company has placed on the
products, you cannot go wrong. Where else are you going to get knives
equal in quality to CUTCO, made the same way, with a lifetime warranty
for only a fraction of that cost. I think you really need to reexamine
the fact that quality does not always mean high priced.

I gave it a try, too, as customer and distributor. And found that I
could find the same or better quality for a lot less money. Cutco
knives are no great shakes - hardly an industry standard.

I've seen some Pampered Chef stuff in the homes of friends and
relatives. It seems OK at best (eg very thin pizza stone), and very
expensive for the quality. There's much better quality stuff for the
same money at, say, Sur la Table.

Some Pampered Chef products are excellent, others are at best average
quality. My wife has the cookie press, for example. When the cap broke
about a year ago we were told that was not covered by the warranty.
(The replacement we bought broke too.)

Here's a Pampered Chef question we haven't been able to get an answer to
yet. My wife's chillzanne had the lid blow off in a strong wind and the
lid split in two. As far as we can tell, it isn't in the catalog anymore,
though her job has been so hectic she hasn't had a chance to go to a
PC party for several months to ask in person and I think she finally gave
up and threw away the pieces because they were sharp and in the way.

Is the lid still available?
