I don't know if this has already been covered or not (so if it has, please excuse me!) I just haven't had time to check through the files. A recent customer just e-mailed me and wants to know if there is some kind of guide for cooking other meats in the DCB. I've sent her all the recipes from on here that I found (and from CC) - she wants to know about cooking meats other than pork or chicken in it....is this recommended? If it is, does anyone know how long to cook them for?
TIA

did you cook it in the microwave or the oven?
 
Re: DcbI believe it's in the microwave.

I tried the recipe in one of the booklets, but it was only 2 lbs. I didn't realize you could make one that big in there so quickly! It was very yummy!
 
Re: DcbWhat other kinds of meat does she want to know about?
