I've looked at a zillion different docs in the "Files" section for the Family size skillet... and they all seem to be the same ones with the cake recipes. Does anyone have a document done for dinner recipes? I want to give a few to a customer to get her started.

Thanks!

Do you happen to have the Weekday Dinners Done! Recipe card collection? About 1/2 the recipes in there are for the 12" skillet! The Pronto! Pasta and Sausage Skillet is a personal fave of mine :)

If you don't have them I'm sure someone will gladly post some of the recipes.

I do have them... just not in a form I can email them. If someone has even a couple of the recipes in electronic format, that would be great... I could use it as a teaser to sell the cards to them. :-D
 
Creamy One Pot Pasta, make it at a bunch of my shows in it & they cannot believe how much the Skillet can hold! Made it at my show Wed. night, 6 guests & 5 outside orders & the show is at 1225.00, shes getting 1 or 2 more orders!! HTH
 
Skillet Lasagne is great, and also the zesty ravioli (can't remember whole name) that is in the current SBRC.

Yessssssss They are also GREAT, I forgot about them!!! :D
 
I'm loving the Zesty Ravioli Skillet Dinner. The Creamy One Pot pasta is good. Also, the Asian Noodle Skillet dinner made w/ chicken is good, it tastes like Chicken LoMein.

Sounds good also....I MUST be getting ready for dinner!!! :eek:
 
We're having the Asian Chicken and Noodle skillet for dinner tonight. It's my DS's FAVE!!!!
 
Yes, the past few years of SB are on CC - so you could easily get the recipes already typed up from there.
 
I put some of these recipes into the file with the cakes to create something to give a guest who just paid full price for one. I don't have the Asian or Sausage skillets in here cause I couldn't find them but it's a start.

I've been wanting to have a better file so thanks for starting this thread....BEE

You make this recipe in the 12" skillet? I always have so much when I use the pot, that I couldn't imagine making it in the skillet.:love:
 
It is a little tight on the stirring, but it can be done. Had a host want it and I only have the skillet not the stockpot!

Yes I do & even after I add the chicken, there still is room left. I also use 8 oz. cream cheese. I make it on a single burner right at my demo table. Unlike the pot which is narrow & deep, the skillet is wide, also you are not constantly stirring. Try it at home first. Also you are using a pot that only comes in the 7 piece set for 425.00. When they see what I do in a 148.00 skillet, they are happy paying that. I have made this recipe at at least 15 shows, so I guess it works.....
 
Thanks for the work and for your generosity Bee!
 
Those are great recipes Bee.

How do I properly season my 12-inch skillet for optimal cooking?
