What happens to these kitchen items your boss lets you take home to test?

I take them back as they belong to the shop. It is a really good idea
on her part as it is much easier for me to sell stuff if I have
personally used it. Another new fave is a Kyocera paring knife, which
is ceramic if you didn't know- that is one sharp knife!

Well, yes, I assumed you took them back. But does she sell *used*
cookware and cooking implements?

if it is like my favorite candy. . . er 'kitchen' shop- they have demo
nights where they use the stuff in the store.

I've never been to one, but I love when they do it as the next time I
go in the sales gal is all excited about some new gadget that I might
not have otherwise given a second look. [my Chef'n lemon squeezer
and Rosle cheese slicer are 2 that come to mind.]

Sure... but does the proprietor later have a used cookware or gadget
sale? That's what I'm asking.

Mine does not- she puts damaged/returned stuff in a box, and if she
decides not to return them to the manufacturer, we can take whatever
we want. Pretty nice, huh? We also carry the Sodastream machines and
syrups, so when the syrups expire, I can have them to give to the
people I gave Sodastreams to at Xmas.

Do you have the Rosle knife or wire for cutting the cheese? That is a
hard brand to sell as it is quite pricey!

-----------------------------------------------------
Some of the Rosle line is now made in China but it hasn't affected the
price!

It seems to be well made, though. I know my boss tries to sell as much
American made products as possible...

I've got the wire one. It *is* pricey- and just *looks* like it
won't work as well as the 'T' shaped wire slicers.

But it does. It works a whole lot better. It takes less effort, and
the ergonometrics are better [though I was sure they would be worse]
It slices 2 thicknesses without fiddling with 'adjustments' - and it
takes up less room in the drawer. [no place to hang mine]

It slices soft mozzarella or hard asiago with ease.

I managed to break a wire on mine somehow- and got to go back to the
other kind while I waited for a wire from Amazon. [the kitchen shop is
out of the way]. I went right back to the Rosle.

We also sell a plastic cheese knife that works well also...

No, they are not resold- they just belong to "the shop"

Ever have a customer ask if the ceramic knife can pass a metal detector?

Can't say I have- that is NOT a good thought....
