Looking back, I can see that every challenge and every season of change has positioned us for something better and more rewarding over the years. Stoneware is one of the staples of the Pampered Chef collection.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary Two of our earliest products continue to be among our most popular: the stoneware collection and our Food Chopper. I brought stoneware to the very first Kitchen Show I held on October 15, , and it has been a beloved staple piece in our product collection ever since. It's withstood the test of time because it is simple, and it works — offering improved results for whatever one bakes or re-heats on it, every time.
To celebrate our 40th anniversary and honor this heritage item, we launched a new unglazed Stoneware Collection. It is our most durable yet, made in the U.
Our new stoneware collection can go straight from the oven to the table, and it is also dishwasher safe. I love so many different products, but two of the tools I use repeatedly are our Silicone Scrapers and our classic Food Chopper. These products have been around since the early years of the business and improved many times since. I would be lost without them. I use them daily. I've always believed that mealtime is a time where relationships are formed and strengthened, and that's where Pampered Chef steps in as a resource and supportive voice for our customers.
I've found that people are always interested in becoming more confident in the kitchen. For Pampered Chef to be able to provide the tools, tips and encouragement that help people create meals in a way that works for them and their loved ones is a pretty high calling and one that I'm incredibly proud of. A new Pampered Chef offering, TasteBuds is a monthly seasoning kit subscription that delivers unique Times have changed, and cooking has evolved, but about the only thing that hasn't changed is our need to celebrate and spend time with our loved ones.
I know we will continue to grow and innovate, developing solutions to address cooking challenges. And with that, I always want to see Pampered Chef there to help our customers make the most of every moment and find and enrich that moment to take time to enjoy food and meals together.
Of course, on the drive home, I knew differently. She brought in a friend as a part-time sales representative in May , and had recruited a total of 12 kitchen consultants by the end of the year.
Warehousing of the burgeoning business's products outgrew the Christopher family's household basement that year, when TPC's headquarters were moved to a 2, square-foot building. By , the business generated by the company's more than sales representatives demanded a full-time purchasing, warehousing, and distribution staff.
Husband Jay quit his job as a marketing executive that year to join his wife's company as executive vice-president of operations. By the end of the decade, TPC boasted kitchen consultants.
Coverage in nationally-circulated magazines in the early s brought another wave of consultants on board, and by the company had sales representatives in all fifty states. While direct, demonstrative selling has proven a powerful marketing method for TPC, its sourcing of unique and useful kitchen tools was also vitally important.
In Christopher told Inc. Mamis that "People I knew didn't like to cook, because it wasn't easy for them. Part of me said, 'Maybe I can never convert them. If they had the right tools, it would be fun. Christopher sought to fill this market void with a line of high-quality, multi-purpose wares.
She assembled an array of about products ranging from peelers and juicers to bakeware and cookware, about one-third of which were exclusive to TPC.
Although TPC often has a hand in the development and refinement of the products it carries--making them more ergonomic or combining several functions in a single tool, for example--it does not manufacture them. Many are emblazoned with their makers' names and marks, then packaged in TPC boxes with the marketer's use-and-care information. Believing that the origin of the utensils was far less important to her customers than knowing how to use them, Christopher created an in-house test kitchen to develop simple yet innovative recipes and menus that used TPC products.
