Having been to a couple of Pampered Chef parties lately I have managed to increase my collection of Stoneware quite well. --What is Stoneware?— Stoneware is a range of kitchen products like baking trays and pizza stones, only sold through The Pampered Chef, that are made using a natural lead-free clay. The result is a range of baking products that will cook your food exceptionally well by allowing the heat to distribute evenly over the piece of Stoneware and allowing you to use less or no added fat/oil as the surface becomes non-stick the more you use it. This is called ”seasoning” and I will cover how to do that later. You can get a wide ...  Read the complete review

Several years ago there was an epidemic of Pampered Chef parties in the small town where I live. We would congregate in each other's houses, drink wine, nibble tasty treats and ooh and aah over the extortionately priced kitchen utensils on show. To most of us it was a nice social event and if we felt sufficiently guilty about our hostess's hospitality we would purchase the cheapest item from the range. However there were a few items that really appealed to me and at one such event I decided to make a purchase. I selected the large Pizza Stone. This circular stone slab is 13" in diameter with smooth, rounded edges and weighs in at a hefty 4lb. I can't ...  Read the complete review

Pampered Chef are an American company and they expanded in this country thanks to a system of party organisers a little like the Ann Summers ones but without the raucous drink fuelled bbehaviour and laughter. A friend used to be one of their party organisers and that is how I came to be the owner of a couple of their items, which are not cheap but they are hard weearing and reliable and both items can still be found in my kitchen still and they function pretty well. I own a medium size baking tray and a pizza stone, the latter has been excellent for pizza making as the stone dsitributes the heat evenly which menas you get a nice crisp and even base to your ...  Read the complete review

I love cooking. I am constantly berated by my wife for ransacking charity shops and bringing home weird cookbooks from the 70s complete with garish photos showing everything set in aspic and about three veggie recipes per 200 pages (I live in a fairly hippified household). Despite that, sometimes I feel I can't be bothered to cook, and reach for the takeaway menus. Then I remember the last time I ate Domino's pizza and felt like I'd eaten a bag of unmixed tiling grout, and soon reconsider and decide I can be bothered after all. Pampered Chef's stoneware makes this so much easier. Pampered Chef is ace. I was fortunate to receive a stash of their products as a ...  Read the complete review

Pampered chef stone ware is a range of baking trays and dishes . Rather than being made of traditional metal they are made of unvarnished stone. The idea is that the stone wear allows a more even distribution of heat and therefore more even cooking. The more you use the stone wear the more "seasoned" it becomes and the more non stick. I do know a lot of people who rave about the stone ware but I have to say that although I think it is ok I don't see what there is to rave about. I don't find the heat distribution any different to a normal baking tray and the level of non stick is really any different from a good quality normal non stick making ...  Read the complete review
