Dcb Recipes That Are Not for the Microwave???

In summary, Becky wants recipes for her DCB without the microwave. The other night, she made pot pie in it, using chicken w/ gravy and mixed veggies, and put Grands Biscuits on top, and baked it. For Thanksgiving, she is going to make her Stuffing in it.

I have a past host that loves her DCB, however, she keeps asking me for recipes for it that don't use the microwave.

Who has ideas other than a roast or chicken? All the PC recipes for the DCB are for the micro and she doesn't like to use it.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions....
 
I use mine all the time for things in the oven - but not really "recipes".
The other night, I made Pot Pie in it, using chicken w/ gravy and mixed veggies, and put Grands Biscuits on top, and baked it.
I make Baked Beans in it, and have made Apple Cobbler and Peach Cobbler in it.
For Thanksgiving, I am going to make my Stuffing in it.......

Not sure if that helps - I just use it for whatever I need to use it for!:D

Thanks Becky, that does help. The pot pies idea is great!
 
1 lb Ground Beef
16 oz can Pork & Beans
2 tbs Brown Sugar
1 Small Onion (Minced)
1/2 cup BBQ Sauce
1 Can Grands Bisquits (10 pk)
1/2 cup Grated Cheese (optional)


Brown ground beef with onion and drain. Add brown sugar, bbq sauce and Pork & Beans. Mix all ingredients and put into DCB. Cut the bisquits in half and arrange them on top with cut sides against side. Top with grated cheese and bake @350 for 20 mins or until bisquits are golden brown.


**On days when I forget to take something out in the morning for dinner, I just pull out frozen hamburger and put it in the micro cooker to defrost and cook. I drain it and use the mix and chop to break it all up, add the remaining ingredients right in the MC and then dump into the DCB. (the onions are so small they cook while in the oven)
 
Here is a flyer I "borrowed" from someone here!!

I use my DCB for the NY Times No Knead Bread recipe that swept the country a few months back.

Great crust! Great Flavor :)

I also use mine for any casseroles & mac & cheese that I bake in the oven. I'd tell her that pretty much anything she might use Corningware for she can bake in our DCB.

My husband and I just made boneless ribs in the DBC the other night. I went to Costco and bought a package that was about 5 lbs. I broke it up into 5 1lb freezer bags and froze all but 1 lb. I then rubbed the Garlic Peppercorn rub and baked it in the oven for about 30 minutes. It was soooo delicious! And super easy. I didn't even use that much rub (just on top) but it was very flavorful. We are addicted to this baker and all the recipes I have found are so appreciated.

Thanks for this recipe!
Did you preheat the baker like the recipe said?
How did you do the timing...as in...when did you start it and then bake, etc? I am thinking if I started it this late today (8:00?) the first rising would be done by 2:00 tomorrow...next 2 hour resting till 4:00 then bake? Am I timing that right?

Thanks for any help and/or tips!

I baked my first ham in mine, covered. I thought - bet it'll taste GREAT cooked in a brick oven! It was good. Just melted apricot preserves and brushed on. First ham I ever made.
 

What is the difference between DCB recipes and microwave recipes?

DCB (Deep Covered Baker) recipes are specifically designed to be cooked in the Pampered Chef Deep Covered Baker, which is an oven-safe stoneware dish. These recipes are not intended for use in the microwave. Microwave recipes, on the other hand, are designed to be cooked quickly in the microwave.

Can I use my DCB in the microwave?

No, the DCB is not safe for use in the microwave. It is made of stoneware, which is not microwave safe. Using the DCB in the microwave can cause it to crack or break.

Why are DCB recipes not for the microwave?

DCB recipes are not for the microwave because the stoneware material is not safe for use in the microwave. Additionally, the cooking times and temperatures for DCB recipes are specifically designed for use in the oven, not the microwave.

Can I use other types of bakeware instead of the DCB?

While some DCB recipes may be adaptable to other types of bakeware, it is not recommended. The Pampered Chef DCB is specifically designed for optimal results with these recipes, and using a different type of bakeware may result in different cooking times and outcomes.

Are there any safety precautions I should take when using the DCB?

Yes, always follow the instructions and safety guidelines provided with the DCB. Make sure to use oven mitts when handling the hot stoneware, and do not place the DCB directly on a hot stovetop or in a broiler. Also, avoid sudden temperature changes, such as placing the hot DCB on a cool surface or adding cold ingredients to a hot DCB, as this can cause the stoneware to crack.
