I'm making Hot Artichoke Dip for a show tomorrow. (Not the one with the bread bowl) . .
Can I mix the ingredients up a day before I'm going to cook it?

Thanks,
Steph
 
Yes that is fine I did that last week. I had a show during the day but was going to a Halloween party that night . So I made it the day before kept it in the frig If you put it the stone don't go stright in to thr oven the stone will be to cold, let it sit out or mix it in the batter bowl the put it into the stone to cook in
Great recipe comes out great every time
 
Actually, you can put a cold dish in the oven. You just can't go from freezer to oven. So, if I have a frozen lasagna in my 9x13 I need to put it in the frig to completely defrost. Then when I'm ready I pull out the lasagna, preheat the oven, pop it in and cook.

I only know this because I had to call HO about this years ago.
 
i have a question the recipe calls for the mini baker i think for this, can you make it in something else??
 
I've made it in the Simple Additions Square bowls and it came out great!

REally! I didn't know this! I actually transferred something that I had taken out of the fridge (on a stone) to another stone, because I didn't want to wait for it to come to room temp! I could've just stuck it in there straight from the fridge? That's crazy! But great!
 
I usually wil take the dish out of fridge, turn on the oven and when pre-heat is ready I pop it in.
