It was actually good fun but I spent a fortune

I love love love my chopper
I bought that ice cream scoop which is supposed to go warm in your hand and make it easier to use......mine doesn't seem to go warm
I didn't fancy a pampered chef party and had been asked to go to loads and turned them all down, then i relented and it was brilliant! So much fun and our pampered chef person was a gay guy who was just so lovely and made us all want to buy everything!

I love the stoneware, the chopper, the oil pump, and the bamboo spoons. The stuff is expensive, but certainly lasts and seems good quality. I try not to go to any parties, though, as I am weak when it comes to kitchen utensils!

I use my stoneware every day. I bought the childrens safety knifes as dd1 loves to help me cook.

I have had to go to three of these parties. I only bought something at the third, which was a charity one. I bought the suds pump (thank goodness it comes with a spare pump! ) Now I use a 'Method' foaming hand wash pump and keep refilling it. Much better value!

My friend bought the baking stones and loved them. They are expensive but I think they are more of an investment!

i think someone ws annoyed i hadnt invited them. i simply couldnt invite the entire street. or one of the womens dh's wanted her home!

OK, nothing too outrageous then

the first time they came was ten pm! which to me isnt late...

the secod time was midnight. after that we DID go indoors

I was bought this though as a gift and I love it!!

we were vey rowdy and it was a warm evening. we had the music blaring and we were dancing round the garden. there were 12 women there and i recall clearing up 26 empty wine bottles the next day so we were very drunk

well i say rowdy but in a ncie girly way. obv one or 2 neighbours who i hadnt invitied were not too happy!

Stoneware and spatula it is then!!

Please expand np on why the police were called twice?

i had a pampered chef party once. it got so out of hand the police were called twice

too much wine and sun methinks. i had just moved into a new area and i was trying to impress my new neighbours! didnt quite work out...

anwya, i recommend the chldren stuff

lke the children chopping knife and cut out thingys

also the measuring jug with the lid

no

but sometimes you have to go because a friend gets talked into hosting one .. and you have to buy something so you scour the list for the cheapest thing .. which turns out to be a spatula for £12 .. which then turns out to be ingenious

I shudder at the thought of a pampered chef party...am I a fool?

Get the chopper - Get the shopper - Get the chopper

I use my chopper all the time!!! I have just ordered my second one - I luuurve it!!!

Mix and Scraper is the most useful thing I own .. I cannot believe I can wax lyrical over a feckin' spatula .. but it's amazing at getting all the mixture out, and at stirring and heat and dishwasher proof .. well worth it

Definitely the spatula/spoon thing, and the little glass bowls with lids have been surprisingly handy - although I always end up leaving one full of egg mayonnaise at the back of the fridge.....

The kitchen scissors are great but Do Not Buy The Ponceworthy Piping/Icing Bottles - you need a piping bag to fill them. Grrr.

We use the stoneware all the time - from roasts to fish fingers!, got a spatula/spoon set a good 12 years ago and they're still going strong. I try to resist the more gimmicky things - ice cream sandwich maker etc....
Have fun

my sister gave me the batter bowl and the pizza stone about 8 years ago and they're both still going strong.

I like the batter bowl - saves me from slopping pancake mix everywhere! Also good for making cakes/whipping cream as it has a handle to hold it firm.

That chopper really is pants. And you can make your own suds pump by buying any foaming handwash and refilling it with a mix of soap and water.

Oooh the stone bakeware. I love it!

Someone has already warned me about the chopper!!!

use the measuring spoons, bamboo 'wooden' spoons and the spatula

Never use the v expensive chopper thing - total waste of time and money

Going to a party tonight. What is brilliant, that you use all the time? What did you buy then never use?
