Once upon a time, I was a member of the Cooking Club of America (now defunct) which occasionally threw its members products to test and review. I got some rather dubious spice mixes out of the deal, but also a swell set of Lampson Sharp knives that are still my go-to slicers.
Since this Kitchen Consumer forum is essentially made up of non-commercial reviews and questions, I can't be the only person interested in getting such a gig. I think it's worth its own topic.
How does one get picked / sign up for such gigs? Although I'm at a stage in my life where I should be getting rid of things, the idea of getting to play with new toys and then reviewing them is pretty appealing.
I too am interested in this. I have too many kitchen things including some that are gathering dust, but i's be happy to play with more. @JoNorvelleWalkercan you enlighten us?
