Showing off Cookware Without a Stove or Oven

In summary, a consultant shares her idea of hosting a mini vendor fair with swanky city ladies, and mentions the address of the event. There is a discussion about wanting bookings and using a burner for cooking. The consultant suggests doing an ice cube demo to showcase the even distribution of heat in cookware. The party is planned to be held on a rooftop and the idea is well-received. The consultant also shares her experience at the event, including low attendance but good sales and potential partnerships with the host. She also mentions a unique party idea at a bar.

Do you have a burner? If not, they're like $10 at Wally world.

yes, but I'm not sure I'll have electricity.
 
Take one piece from each set - maybe a 10" saute pan in one and the family skillet in the other - and a SA bowl. Do the ice cube demo. It wouldn't be too hard to bring a small cooler with plenty of ice cubes so that there are at least 3 big ones left by the time you need it.

Okay, gotcha!! I second the ice cube demo. :)
 
How fun! What a neat place to have a mini vendor fair - up on the rooftop. I think the ice cube demo is a good one.:)
 
please explain the ice cube--demo--to me

So Deb, how'd it go?

Morfia,
The ice demo is simply where you put a ice cube in a pan (saute, it's easier to bring) and then walk in front of all the guests and let them feel the pan. They'll feel the bottom of the pan usually but let the feel the sides. That's when you talk about the even distribution of heat.

Here's how I do the ice cube demo: I put one cube in the SS pan, one in the Exec pan and one in a SA bowl. A few minutes later the two in the pans will be totally melted and the one in the bowl will be pretty much still intact. Then pass the 2 pans around so they can feel how cold the whole pans are - talking about how well and how quickly they conduct heat.

It's very WOW.

It's done on one of the interactive demos in the video we got last year.

it was fun, but it was poorly attended. I was told 20 people were coming, and she had maybe 5 that weren't the other vendors. there were three other vendors--a makeup lady, a hair piece lady (synthetic hair--think Jessica Simpson), and an energy drink lady. I think I had the most sales.With four orders, we're at 418.75. :) I know there is at least one more order to come. No bookings, no leads, so bummer on that. But I think I made some good connections here. They are all part of a very hip magnet school and they have lots of events throughout the year. The host (who is a teacher at the school) and I are already talking about how we can partner for a family night where 80 families are invited and turn out is usually very good. It was a fun night up on the roof. Look one way and you could see the lake, look the other way and you could see Wrigley Field.

Wow, Deb, not a bad show for that many people!! Sounds like a good group to get hooked up with.:)

How fun to do a rooftop show!!! One of my best friends lives downtown and is probably going to do a show for me.....at a bar!! How funny. She's going to do it with a theme like "Martinis and Manicures....Come Get Pampered" or something like that. We'll see how THAT goes!

That's a great show Deb with only 4 orders! Great Job!

So, inquiring minds want to know, did you do the ice cube demo?

Nope, no ice cube demo. I really didn't have all their attention to do the demo. We did the salad chopper salsa and I just kind of passed it around to get them to help out. They were chatting, drinking, eating, looking at pictures (the teacher was in South Africa all summer), so it was very low key.
