Erica’s 5 Pampered Chef MUST Haves

When I heard that one of my favorite culinary companies, The Pampered Chef, was giving $10-off all online orders this month, I knew I HAD to blog about them.

I also just found out that one of my friends, Randi, recently became a consultant for them. Since I’m totally obsessed with the Pampered Chef product line, I figured I would help her business out and give my readers my opinion on what I think are some really great products.

Here are my 5 MUST orders from Pampered Chef:

1) Salad Chopper, ($26.50): I bought this for my Mom a couple of years ago and to be honest, I kind of forgot about it. Over the summer, I stopped over for dinner one night and she made this delicious chopped salad (like what you’d get in a restaurant). I asked her how she got all the ingredients chopped so perfectly and she reminded me about the salad chopper I had gotten her!

I wanted to take it right then and there ( but that would be rude and totally inappropriate). Instead I went home and placed my order for one that same night. Now I eat chopped salads every single day (and I save a lot of money since I don’t need to go out and buy them).

2) 3-Cup Prep Bowl Set, ($20): Before buying these prep bowls,  I was always jealous when I watched the Food Network chefs with their pre-chopped vegetables and herbs. Now, I can cook like these chefs and prep my ingredients before hand and keep them in these cute little bowls.

The best thing about them is they have air-tight lids so that you can store whatever you don’t use in the fridge! On Sunday, I typically dice up onions, mince some garlic and chop up some parsley (since I use them in almost every dish) and keep them in these little prep bowls for easy cooking all week!

3) Color Coated Santoku Knife ($18): This was actually the first knife I ever purchased for myself. While it’s by no means the greatest knife on the market, it’s an affordable, fairly sharp knife and great for someone just starting to cook.

This knife (and about 5 others from Pampered Chef) are actually still in my knife block today! They are great for an easy dice or slice and they last a really long time!

4) Stoneware Medium Bar Pan ($25): AKA the “Pizza Stone”. If you’ve ever been to a Pampered Chef party, then you already know what I am talking about. If you haven’t, let me fill you in. Basically, this pan allows you to cook a pizza on it with no olive oil or cooking spray and it doesn’t stick. It will literally come out perfectly crispy every single time.

I’m not sure how they make this pan, but whatever they do, it works. If you love pizza, this stoneware is a must.

5) Adjustable Measuring Spoons ($8.50): This may be one of the most clever cooking inventions I’ve ever seen. Before finding these measuring spoons, my drawer was filled with all different measuring utensils. I could never find the one I was looking for and it was really frustrating. Now I just grab either the tablespoon or the teaspoon and adjust based on how much I need. Amazing!

So those are my Top 5 products to buy at Pampered Chef!

If you do decide to order any of these, head over to Randi’s Pampered Chef Store and help out a young woman’s business (I’m all about helping other women)!
