Hello Fellow Cheffers!

I am doing a help whip cancer show at my house on friday.
Granted, it will mostly be close friends and family...but I am looking for a wow recipe.
I really want to do something in my DCB in the microwave. But, I just discovered that my microwave is too small!!!!!:cry:
I am new, so I dont have a lot of extra product outside of the new consultant kit. I do have the stone loaf pan that will fit in my microwave. Could i fix a smaller version of one of the DCB and do it in the loaf pan in the microwave? Any suggestions!
Thank you all for your help!!!
I am planning on doing something in the DCB and throwing it in the oven also!
HELP!!!
Thank you!

The Spinach Carbonara Pizza is really good and my crowds have always loved that one. Do you have the trifle bowl? Skillet? If so, there's some great recipes I could recommend.

The Ham and Cheese Calzone is also good.

How about the south of the border meatloaf in your loaf pan? The recipe is on Consultant's Corner - just use the recipe search.

Thanks for the suggestions!
Unfortunately, I dont have the trifle bowl or the skillet yet :( Hopefully soon!!!
I will check out the carbonara recipe! Thanks for your suggestions!!
Does anyone know of any recipes for the loaf pan in the microwave??

I have made the Mexican Chicken Lasagna in the oven before (host's microwave was too small). Everything is cooked so essentually you are just melting the cheese.

The DCB makes my microwave scream (yes, it squeals) so often times I use the Deep Dish Baker in the microwave.

You can adapt most of the DCB recipes to the oven, too.

Leslie--I didn't even think about the meatloaf!! What a great idea!!!
wadesgir/kam--thank you for the ideas. Now you have me thinking!!
Maybe the lasagna in the DCB in the oven and then I could also do maybe something simple like apple crisp in the microwave!!!!
Cheffers are the best!!!!!

Perhaps you can try using the cake recipes and just make two? If you have the fluted stone, you can make a cake in your microwave.

The dcb is heavy and though my microwave is fairly large and accoomdates the dcb, the base often stops turning and makes noise also. I still love cooking with the dcb in the microwave.

The other option is to buy a new microwave. :D You know you're going to want to try out the DCB at home and practice so you can do it at shows. Plus, it's so useful for your quick meals every day at home. If you have the space and the $, I'd go get a new microwave now! :D

I got myself a fairly nice microwave last year for $118 at Walmart. It has a toasting element at the top, but you can get a nice big one for about $80. They are fairly inexpensive now.
