I'm going to spend the night thinking up an explanation for any damage I may have done, I can't admit to laughing at the notion of expensive saucepans, they'll think I do drugs or something.

Oh I don't like poppers, they make me poo frantically.
I don't mind the odd wasabi pringle though.

I wonder if Gordo makes pringles along with cabbage cake in the 7k pans?

As an aside, I really fancy him even though he looks like he is made of play doh.

Just read this out to Mr Pippin and he almost fell off the sofa at the 3k for pans Grin

Can someone please message me the make, I must see them!

NorksAreMessy · 18/07/2011 21:39

Pippinintherain · 18/07/2011 21:41

Ahh, thank you.

I don't know what's holding you back; surely they couldn't make claims like this if they weren't true
"we change lives by offering families a healthier food preparation solution, giving individuals the opportunity to achieve financial growth, and providing the highest level of customer satisfaction possible."
-Obviously you have to spend 3 grand to achieve financial growth. Goes without saying, almost.

Bloody hell you don't even get enough handles to use them all at once Shock

GeraldineAubergine · 18/07/2011 21:50

Pan lady told me microwaves irradiate my food an are slowly damaging my mind. And that prosthetic hips are made from titanium ergo titanium pans benefit your skeleton. I can't believe I didn't know any of this before.

Ah they dont scare me!

I bet my Le C pack more of a punch around the back of the head than their magic pans :o

BibiBlocksberg · 18/07/2011 21:51

You have to buy the handles SEPERATELY ???

Wow, these people are sales pros :)

I keep thinking that there are people out there in the world to whom £3000 is like £38 Shock

cookinmama · 18/07/2011 21:52

However if they throw in the slate so that I can display them in my house like advertised, I'm in Grin

GeraldineAubergine · 18/07/2011 21:54

As a reward for answering the pan questionnaire correctly at the end of the demo/party I was given three pieces of boiled (in sweetcorn nest) egg White. Fact. You name any other company with marketing strategies as hard hitting and with such pan-ach as that. (sorry)

geraldine this is the thread that keeps on giving! Titanium hips=healthy pans!!!
Is she really allowed to say this bollox in front of real grown up people? How did you not all collapse in giggles.
How did your colleague come across such a loon?

BibiBlocksberg · 18/07/2011 21:56

Yep, just read on google that Teflon can cause something called 'polmer fume fever'

Symptoms: fever between a 100 and 104 degrees, chest tightness, shortage of breath, headache, cough, chills and sore throat.

You have been warned people - buy titanium NOW

GeraldineAubergine · 18/07/2011 21:57

I feel ashamed but I did believe her in some points. She was so covincing and the pans so splendid.

Didn't Morrissey write a song about this?

Go to TK Maxx, they have very reasonably priced named pans for next to nothing. Don't get sucked in love!

befuzzled · 18/07/2011 22:06

As someone has said further down the thread, 3K = all inclusive holiday at a 5 star resort in July not 7 bloody pans!! Did people really buy a set? Are the lawyers?

MinnieBar · 18/07/2011 22:07

Have to say, I read Geraldine's post of 'How can you possibly have a kitchen in which three thousand pound pans are not lavish enough? Are you the queen?'
as
'... are you LeQueen?' Grin

SaladMaster is a rubbish name for pans, cabbage cake or no cabbage cake.

I used to work as a Pampered Chef consultant but this really takes the biscuit. (Ba-boom-tish!)

MinnieBar · 18/07/2011 22:09

Oh and the bicarb-in-water - cheap way of treating cystitis (since you can't afford the prescription charges any more now that you've spent your DCs' university fund on pans).

pepperrabbit · 18/07/2011 22:11

I've just worked out I'm having an entire kitchen fitted for the cost of 14 saucepans.

Clearly my priorities are wrong!
