Mandolin - I use it to grate cheese & slice onions/cucumbers on a regular basis. I don't have a food processor to do that so I use the mandolin.
Press & Seal - perfect for making "Uncrustables" sandwiches at home with multigrain bread
Little Spatula - for everything
Dripless Oil Bottle - just got this recently, love it. Not a single drop drizzle down the side of the bottle or on to my counter. Love it.
Micro Cooker - Used a couple times a week. Perfect for steaming veggies or heating up soup.
10" ceramic pan - recent acquisition as an alternative to non-stick. It works pretty well. I've only made scrambled eggs in it, but it's pretty non-stick. I don't care for the white handle though, I can see it getting grimy with use over time.
Bamboo spatula set - LOVE this, use it all the time in all my cookware
Bamboo toaster tongs - mine are old and held together by a screw. I use them daily.
Bread knife - love it.
Mix & Chop - I make a lot of tacos/chili/spaghetti and this makes crumbling up the meat in the pan so much easier. I often start with frozen ground meat so it cooks off in chunks. I've used the spatula and never got the pieces as small as I would like. This is perfect.
Flexible cutting mats - if you need some, get these. I don't have the PC ones, but I love the ones that I do have.
Egg slicer - great for strawberries in the summer. My kids eat a ton of strawberries.

I had quite a bit of their stoneware and never really used it. I just gave away a round roaster, a 9 x 13 pan & a sheet pan a few months ago.


I bought a PC micro cooker years ago from a colleague who sold the stuff but stopped using it after it came out that it is dangerous to cook food in plastic and at the time it wasn't BPA free. Has PC changed these over the years?

I also have the plastic measuring cup - I use it for measuring 1 1/2 cups of mayo for one dish I make. Also have liked the grill pan I bought, although I think I could have found one elsewhere for less money. Both have held up for years. I wouldn't rush back to a PC party but these items are ok.

I have two items I have used frequently for about the last 10 years. The large glass bowl (with pouring spout and handle) and the pastry blender (which I don't just use for pastry - I also use to chop egg for egg salad, chop herbs, slice butter pats, etc).

I have had some of my pampered chef items for 10 or more years. My stuff has definitely held up well. To pps that had an issue they Will replace it if you cal. My favorites are the toaster oven size stone, pizza stone, other casserole stones, cutting boards and the large batter bowl.
