CookwareYES,YES
You should use they cookware you have. Now so that you can sell the higher priced items and get bookings for FEB ( 60% off remember) This will really help you , I think any stone that you use you can also use the Family size skillet . It will come out of the pan so well that everyone will say WOW I WANT THAT PAN or any of our Prof.Pans
I once made the pull apart bread in the small saute pan at a party and sold 6 in one night

Small Saute SkilletI always use the saute skillet to make the pull apart bread. It is so much easier to carry to shows than the larger pieces and the pull apart bread is a great 2nd recipe to add to every show.
Also, I love using my cookware in the oven. Especially pineapple upside down cake in the Family Skillet. Yum!

I just made the garlic pull apart bread last night and took it to my directors house and she loved it. I add parmasian cheese on top and it was great. I am trying to use a piece of cookware at each party so I can be successful with the pan-o-rama. I am going to try the other ones for my bridal shower this weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a skillet instead of a deep dish baker for baking?
Yes, you can use a skillet instead of a deep dish baker for certain recipes, but keep in mind that the cooking time and temperature may need to be adjusted. Skillets typically have a larger surface area, which can lead to quicker cooking times.
What types of recipes can I make in a skillet instead of a deep dish baker?
You can make a variety of recipes in a skillet, including casseroles, frittatas, and skillet pizzas. However, for recipes that require a deeper dish, like lasagna or layered casseroles, a deep dish baker is recommended for even cooking.
Will the texture of my dish change if I use a skillet instead of a deep dish baker?
Yes, the texture may change slightly. A skillet can create a crispier bottom and edges due to its larger surface area and direct heat. If you prefer a softer texture, you may want to stick with a deep dish baker.
Do I need to adjust the cooking time when using a skillet?
Yes, you may need to reduce the cooking time when using a skillet, as the larger surface area allows for faster cooking. It's best to start checking for doneness a few minutes earlier than the recipe suggests.
Are there any specific skillets recommended for use instead of a deep dish baker?
Cast iron skillets or non-stick skillets are great options for substituting a deep dish baker. They provide even heat distribution and are versatile for both stovetop and oven use, making them ideal for a variety of recipes.
