Speaking of my new friend, Caryn returns from the grocery store, laden with bags, and, within 20 minutes, my kitchen island has disappeared under a riot of Pampered Chef products, and she’s encouraging me to open a bottle of wine. I realized I’d never truly understand the Pampered Chef experience in 2017 unless I hosted a party myself, even if PC orchestrated it for me, delivering Caryn straight from heaven via the Verrazano bridge. They were so excited that I was reaching out!!! They would be thrilled to connect me with the appropriate consultants!!! Then I got an email from a Pampered Chef’s PR. I sent messages to a bunch of consultants and got basically the same response: They’d love to talk as long as the company said it was okay. If this was what Pampered Chef had become-a bunch of people alone in their homes buying kitchenware on the internet-I thought, that seemed kind of sad. There are hundreds of Pampered Chef consultants on Facebook hosting “virtual parties,” which seem to be just event pages that encourage people to shop online. Today Pampered Chef is a massive corporation with more than 40,000 “consultants.” The company sells every kind of cookware imaginable, but it specializes in gadgets-the kind of stuff you might not think you wanted until a bubbly woman from Staten Island is standing in your kitchen, soft-pitching a gravy separator to you.įirst I reached out to some consultants because I am a reporter.
