I've been making a version of this for years. I don't use any butter, though. I brush the FSP with crushed garlic & olive oil and sprinkle with Italian seasoning. I do a layer of biscuits, then a thick layer of pepperoni & cheese, and finish with a layer of biscuits. Any of the crushed garlic &...

As someone who is currently in the process of completing a MAJOR software conversion at my day job, I can tell you everything that CAN go wrong, WILL go wrong. I truly appreciate the efforts of all the people out there (Directors, new Consultants, etc) who are working thru all the bugs and...

It's an excellent booklet.:thumbup: Thank you so much for sharing!

I made the recipe shared above for cookie dough made with cake mix last nite and I was so impressed by not only how easy it was to make ,but how great the cookies were! Very yummy and sooooo many variations possible. This just may be my go-to cookie dough from now on! Thanks for sharing!:thumbup:

Mine were shipped separately too. I got the Pretty in Pleats bag first, which seemed odd, and I got the duffle about 3 days later.

I have done it both ways, but even if I cook the chicken with the lid off, I always put it back on during the resting phase. I think having the cover on may speed up the cooking time by a minute or two.

I've cooked chicken drumsticks (and other chicken parts) just as you would the 30 min. chicken in the DCB. I've used the seasoning mix that is recommended for the 30 min. chicken as well as just sprinkled on any of the PC rubs, plus salt & pepper. The chicken has always come out moist &...

You are right. I found the information in the Policy & Procedures guide and it clearly states a Host cannot use their FPV to purchase Gift Certificates. I will see her in the morning & explain. I've several suggestions for products that I hope she'll consider. I'd hate to see someone lose that...

I have a host who has just had $1,000+ show. She will get $215 in FPV, but can't make up her mind as to what to get with it. She is leaving on a 15 day cruise in two days, so I need to finalize things with her ASAP. She has a short list of items she wants, but it doesn't come anywhere near...

Jicama should not have a funny smell. As has been mentioned before, the taste is mild and so is the smell. There have been times the jicama at our stores has been mushy and/or smelled bad so I've substituted a granny smith apple instead with great results. I reall think the one you bought was...

I've done all types of chicken parts in the DCB. I season the pieces just as you would for the 30 min. chicken recipe. Since I normally cook the same amount, in weight, as a whole chicken, I follow the same cooking instructions for the 30 min. chicken. I've done this with a cut-up chicken as...

They sent me a shipping label so I did not have to pay to send it back. My replacement came in a couple of days and the label a few days later. I used the box they shipped the replacement in to send back the original one. All is cost me was some tape! :thumbup:

You might want to call CS. Mine did the same thing and after talking to the Test Kitchen, I got a replacement. So far the new one works great & the lid comes off without any excess effort.

Just to let everyone know, I did contact CS and they put me through to the Test Kitchen. They said the cover should not be that difficult to take off. They're sending me a replacement with a shipping label to return the one I have. The new one is already on its way and I'll let you know how this...

I use mine on almost a daily basis to make fruit ices and from time to time I have the same problem getting the top off. It's almost like it's vacuum-sealed on! I will say it most often happens when I'm using it for a prolonged period of time - like when I make 3 batches of fruit ice in a row...
