Cooking Club of America?!
Cooking Club of America?
Does anyone have any experience with the Cooking Club of America? Apparently you get to test kitchen gadgets, and it's only $12 per year, which includes 12 issues of a cooking magazine. Sounds too good to be true, and I can't find any small print on the info. they mailed me or the website. Anyone know anything about this company/offer?
Answers:
It is too good to be true. Like many so called clubs, there will be fees involved, and if you are lucky enough to get any "free" kitchen gadgets, they will be cheaply made and not worth your time.
I thought about signing up. I have been getting all kinds of letters in the mail from them. They are getting pretty annoying.
I actually believe that CCA is a reputable company. I have never had a full subscription to them, but I did have a trial run subscription for a few months and had no problems with them. I know I got a few gadgets to try, but I can't remember them off the top of my head right now (it's been a few years). I get mailings from them every few months to join them, but I'm just not interested at this time.
I can tell you this though, the gadgets are real. Most of the time, you might not get the expensive Kitchen Aid mixer, but you might get a fairly pricey item like a new knife or to test out. I know I have a pasta measurer from them. Cheap, yes, but I actually use it sometimes!
