I stared at it and had NO idea what it was for and had never used it. I think it was a party favor gift because I surely wouldn't have bought one! Slice the onion in half and put the flat side on the cutting board, ladies! DUH!<br /><br />Anyway, I googled "pampered chef comb" and this page popped up first! Thanks for solving my mystery. The comb is now in the garbage. I thought about donating it to a thrift store, but I don't think they'd know what the heck it was for either!Amyhttp://www.ourgazebo.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576512360780684236.post-48427965717631536152008-02-23T15:50:00.000-08:002008-02-23T15:50:00.000-08:00That made me laugh so hard!

They do have some nice stuff, but it's all horrendously overpriced. Like Tupperware, the idea is to buy it only when you're the host of the party so you get the host's discount. But you can't get people to buy at your party unless you go to theirs and buy something overpriced there. <BR/><BR/>I like some of the serving dishes we got from Pampered Chef, and I do like the can opener (not exclusive to them) that doesn't leave sharp edges on the cans. I thought the foamy soap pumps would be good, but they're rubbish and I have finally given up on them. I also like the measuring cup that measures liquids and solids - it's great for measuring out peanut butter. (Obviously not for any English recipes, but I have some American ones that call for it!) <BR/><BR/>Our Pampered Chef chef had just moved back east from California with her DH, and raved about how in her former life as a chef she had used Pampered Chef stuff and she owned almost all of their products. She, too, has perfect teeth. (I guess it must be a requirement for living in California?) She also has a far better memory for names than I do, as she knew mine and I couldn't remember hers when I ran into her last week for the first time in 18 months. She approached us because my daughter was carrying a Girl Scout cookie order form and greeted us with the comment that she'd been looking for someone to buy GS cookies from for months. She then proceeded to buy 8 boxes! :-)<BR/><BR/>BTW, my DH loves to spend money on kitchen things and he bought our good set of sharp knives at Alders in the UK!Almost Americanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17865905831387595915noreply@blogger.com
