Who knew that when a line of amazing kitchenware was created by a home economist 33 years ago it would take the culinary world by storm? It was invented out of need to make everyone’s time and effort in the kitchen easier. Since then Pampered Chef has been bringing great kitchen tools into the home and delivering great results.

“ We offer an experience where people get to try before they buy. In stores everything is in boxes you never get to see them or how they work,” says Janice Gerol, VP & General Manager, The Pampered Chef Canada.

Pampered Chef isn’t a gadget company, they take along time to strategically plan and analyze each product before it is even offered in their catalogue. Their main focus is – ‘What makes peoples lives easier in their kitchen?’

Janice emphasizes, “We don’t invent items that are difficult or take a lot of time to use.”

For instance, their stainless steel bowls have a cover and a thumb hold and a ring of silicone on the bottom so they won’t slip. Pampered Chef looks for interesting gaps in the marketplace that they can fill with the quality that they are known for.

The famous Batter Bowl is a glass pourable measuring cup style bowl with handle that has a lid and it goes in the microwave or freezer to oven. They nest inside each other for storage; they have a spout and pour. Janice says, “I have had mine for 18 years."The Pampered Chef Stoneware collection is made from natural stoneware clay, so well made each piece distributes heat efficiently for even baking and browning. This collection is made in the US, and a dream product for everyone that uses them.

Speaking of quality, their warranties are unsurpassable, they stand behind all their products. Most stores offer only 30 to 60 day warranties on items.

Pampered Chef offers one, two and three year and lifetime warranties.

For the innkeeper or homeowner the plethora of kitchen and now gardening items are endless and so are the possibilities. And for the foodie in each of us tried and true is what we all need!
