I'm getting ready to place an order. Do any of you know if these spoons are the old discontinued ones or the news ones? Hopefully the new ones? Thanks

I meant to order a whole bunch of these before they were discontinued but unfortunately I made a boo boo and forgot!!! Can anyone help? I know this might be a long shot but I am looking to buy your bamboo tongs door prize supply. I need a whole bunch. I was going to give them away at a...

I was doing a little research on the new items and I noticed that all the bamboo items are dishwasher safe. Does anyone know why the ladle is not?:confused: I also was wondering if anyone noticed that some of the other pieces were also not dishwasher safe... Just wondering if anyone had some...

I've been searching online for a while to find the answer to my question, but haven't had any luck. Hoping one of you might know... If you place a bamboo spoon across your pot (ie:when boing rice, pasta, etc), your pot will not boil over. WHY????? how does this work. (And it does work. I...

I don't know if any of you remember, but I had problems with the bamboo cheese board and the petite simple addition squares. The squares would NOT fit! Yesterday I got my sample box, and with it was the petite SA cranberry. Guess what.....they fit BEAUTIFULLY!! You do not now how happy I...

We have so much new Bamboo coming out! Here’s proof it really is a HOT trend… and it will make you giggle, too: I did a survey online today to get a free pack of socks from No Nonsense (Hey -- I’m cheap and free socks are free socks!) Guess what the socks are made from? BAMBOO...

I posted some time ago about my Reversible Bamboo Cheese Board pg. 7 of the current catalog and how I got one back in the fall and the petite squares did not fit in the groove properly. I assumed they were all the same and tough luch for me. Then I saw someone else's set and the petite squares...

Mine doesn't fit the 3 petite squares in the recessed area. Does anyone else have this problem? I was told there was a thread on this sometime back but I can't find it. The response I got from one of us cheffers was that there may have been a bad batch. I would like these pieces to work...

Anyone here in CS land have bamboo floors or know of someone who does? We're seriously considering them for the house we're building and have to make up our minds this weekend :eek: We have hardwood floors in this house and although I love the medium - dark brown I chose. However, I only...

I had a shower yesterday and made up a cool little display of the wish list items. I took the large colander from the 4 piece bowl and colander set. I printed off the wish list items, cut them apart, and taped them to bamboo grilling scewers. I then stuck the scewers through the wholes in the...

I had two Bamboo Cheese Boards ordered on a recent show. The hostess bought one and one of her guests ordered one. Both purchased the petite squares to go with. The book shows three squares in the indentation on the Cheese Board, however, the Hostess says three squares do not fit. I...

I have a customer that just got the Bamboo Spoon set a couple weeks ago. She told me that they were cracked already and showed me. So I looked at my own spoons and saw the same types of cracks, some going down the length of the handles. Most are just hairline cracks, but some look like they...

Good Morning, I was curious if anybody else had experience problems with these products? I just ordered them about 1 or 2 months ago. The Slotted Turner started to "peel" at the end, as if it were melting. It happened the first time I used it and has gotten worse. I used it to flip...

Because the petite squares do not fit the board, should I call the HO to return the cheese board for another? What if they send me another board with the same problem?

I just use my Bamboo Carving Board for the first time. After using it I washed it (did not soak it nor scrubbed it hard) and dried it only to notice that the finish has come off in a few places where the turkey sat. Has anyone else had this problem?

Has anyone else had a problem with the Cheese Board and Petite Squares? One customer bought them and we are having a heck of a time fitting three petites into the well of the board. HO sent us a replacement set of petites, and same problem. I must say, HO was very pleaseant to deal with...

I am just curious what everyone thinks about this product. It is so pretty, but how practical is it? Do you use it alot? Would you recommend it?

My cousin asked me why the bamboo was better than just wooden spoons. We read the write-up in the book. I was wondering if they really were that special?? Thanks! Melissa

Has anyone had trouble with these splitting? I have one customer who has returned her's twice and I told her I would look after the problem. Well they sent me another pair and guess what? One of them was cracked in half right in the package. This lady was thinking of doing a show and is now...

I have a guest who mentioned that she had burned one of her bamboo pieces. Is that under warranty to resist or not burn? She wasn't too concerned, but I was curious.

Is it possible? I opened my package of bamboo spoons and one of them has a green tint covering the back of the spoon!:( It looks kinda gross. It's not on the outside of the spoon, it's embedded inside! :eek: I'm sending it back but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem...

Hi, I was asked this question by my first host and was hoping one of you can help me with the answer. She is thinking of buying it for her 1/2 price item. "I have a question about the Bamboo carving board—does it slip on the counter? And when you cut something on it does it leave marks or...

HI All- I used my Bamboo Carving Board for the first (and only) time on Thanksgiving. When I washed it off, I just used a damp cloth with a little soap(did not submerge it or put it in the dishwasher). I brought it in to work yesterday because someone was interested in purchasing it as a...

I use it last night to carve our turkey and after cleaning it I found there was two big knife marks and a scuff mark on it. I used just a reg. carving knife on it. Wasn't too impressed to find these on it. I was a little scared to used it in the first place as it looked too pretty to use. I...

I got this information in an email. I hope it helps all of us sell our beautiful Carving Boards! I wrote this in two parts Thanks to Evie Gardner for the investigative reporting and Naomi Zucarro for sharing. Hi everyone! I wanted to educate myself on the carving board vs. cutting board...

I had a guest at a show I did a couple days ago that asked about the 13 1/2 inch bamboo tongs that come with the grill pan. She doesn't want the pan, just the tongs. Is there any way to order just the tongs?
