Help! I have a show and the gal wants the sausage/pot kabobs on the new skewers- but she doesn't have a grill. Will I crack the bar pan if I put the food on the skewers, lay them in the bar pan and roast them? Thanks!

I would call or email the PC test kitchens for that one! They are pretty quick to get back to you.

Let us know what they say.
 
If you have time before the party you could order a Grill Pan. That's how I do my grilling shows, on a portable electrical burner with the Grill Pan.

I roast my veggies in my stones at 425 for 20 minutes without skewers. I place the stone in the middle of my oven, not at the top or bottom (broiling cracks them so I center them).
 


Hi Becky,

Thank you for reaching out for help with your upcoming show. I understand your concern about using the new skewers on the bar pan without a grill. While I cannot guarantee that it will not crack, I can offer some suggestions to help prevent that from happening.

First, make sure to preheat your bar pan in the oven before placing the skewers on it. This will help evenly distribute the heat and minimize the risk of cracking. Additionally, you can also try lightly greasing the bar pan with cooking spray or oil before placing the skewers on it. This will create a barrier between the food and the pan, reducing the chances of sticking and potential damage to the pan.

I hope these tips will help you successfully prepare the sausage and potato kabobs for your show. If you have any further questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out. Happy cooking!

Best,

Pampered Chef Consultant
