What is food: Definition and 200 Discussions

Is anyone else having issues with their MFP just not being sharp enough? I loved it when I could just quickly chop stuff with it, but now it seems not so much... anyone else having that issue?

Is the only difference with the new mandoline the holder? I see on the supply order form that we can order just the holder. Will this fit on the mandoline that was available until August 31st? Somehow, I missed this one! (Story of my life lately! :o)

Hi everyone, So I have this idea and am asking for recipe help and feedback. I would like to advertise a theme show for moms to get some more bookings and expand my circle of customers. I was thinking of learning to make some baby food using the MFP and teaching moms how to make their...

I'm doing an outdoor event (what was I thinking) for the local Second Harvest Food Bank today. I've been thinking that my display has been a little ho hum the past few events I've done so I'm changing it up today.... Here be the plan.... I have my table which I will set up almost as...

For those who are fans of "The Pioneer Woman", I was just catching up on some blog-reading, and noticed she has a new show on the Food Network. It premieres Saturday, August 27 at 11:30am/10:30c

I'm hosting a 31 party for my friend who sells. It's tomorrow at 11am and so I want to serve something that could count as their lunch. But I don't want my kitchen to look like a disaster from preparing it. ;) Any ideas?

How do you all clean between the blades on your food choppers?

I have been asked to do a fundraiser next month for this non profit organization. They asked if I could do a show that don't require the use of a stove, as they have none. I was thinking about the 30 minute microwave but they don't have one either and I'm not sure I wanna lug a microwave there...

Head on over to Iams website & get a mail-in certificate for a FREE bag of food for either your dog or cat (or both!)!! Here's the link- http://www.iams.com/dog-food/ProductFamilyIndex.aspx# I'm going to keep posting these things on my business facebook page, so head on over & "like" us-...

Wasn't there a flyer or thread on the differences of when you would use the food chopper vs. the MFP? When I had my show Friday and used the food processor to chop onions EVERYONE was asking .... HUH??? how come you use that instead of the food chopper... "uhhh I dunno" was my answer...

I have a couple of items that I have a hard time cleaning sometimes. So, I thought I'd get some tips here. It's hard for me to get down to the bottom of the blades on the Food Chopper. I'm afraid I'll cut myself.

Howdy! I need some help. Our Cub Scout pack is planning for the Spring campout. We are expecting at least 120 people, maybe more (Everyone ones to go to Jamestown VA for some reason ;) ). We do our meals as a group ( to avoid lots of little fires, camp stoves, etc within the group that...

I just became a consultant in Jan. When my kit arrived my, wonderful, husband decided he would wash all of my new products. Well, when he went to wash the Food Chopper it fell apart on him and the blades got dinged up on our sink. He fiddled around with it and 'fixed' it, but I have never felt...

I'm really interested in trying to grow some food this year. I'd probably be growing in pots on our deck rather than digging an actual garden. The first things I'd like to try are bell peppers and basil and maybe tomatoes. Any tips? Directions? I don't have much of a green thumb so I really...

Has anyone used the DCB to cook frozen foods (i.e. chicken, ground beef, etc.)? I have someone who is single and usually cooks on the fly which means a lot of fast food. She is thinking of buying a DCB, but only if she can use it to cook (microwave) with frozen foods. I have not tried any of...

I posted this last week on CS. But I also wanted to post it here as I know a few of you don't visit CS. Thanks John for sending me this... I had some concerns regarding the new Manual Food Processor. We have all seen this type of "machine" at the state and county fairs under the guise of a...

I wanted to start this thread for actual reviews of use for this product as opposed to the other threads where people are talking about other aspects of it. I got mine today and immediately went to make three things: Salsa Tuna Salad Strawberry Ice (from the new SBRC) First up was...

Thanks John for sending me this... I had some concerns regarding the new Manual Food Processor. We have all seen this type of "machine" at the state and county fairs under the guise of a "Salsa Machine". So I decided to find out more. I wanted to why ours for $49.00 rather than the one you...

I'm getting together with my family for Super Bowl Sunday. (We actually are terrible and don't really follow sports, but we'll take any excuse to get together, visit & eat. And we'll probably watch the fun commercials. ;) ) We are all trying to eat healthier, but want to fix yummy food for...

You would think carrying my PC tote bag at the grocery store several times a week I would get someone to notice. Once did a little old man say something, he caught me so off guard I didn't have much of a conversation. My goal is to get my February calendar booked big time. So when I walked by...

What products do you wish PC would carry/offer? My first thought is a pressure cooker. It would work well at our shows, be fast and we could have another way to do 'Fast Food our Way'.

I didn't earn the PC trip this year, but for me a trip to Aspen is even better! My husband is the manager of a mushroom farm. This summer he went to local businesses and got a 5 star restaurant added as a client. This hotel is partly owned by the Lexus Corporation. Lexus is the major...

My question isn't technically about a theme show...but it could be if you wanted. My daughter is turning 1 on the 27th. So we are going to have a winter one-derland party for her. Any food ideas? I plan to make the frosty the snowman cake for the big event...but what about some savory wintery...

I used mine for the first time in my new place last night to make the loaded baked potato chowder. It just barely fits in my new microwave, so naturally it doesn't spin. Is it bad for it not to spin in the microwave?

Working a very busy booth this weekend. Do you bring food samples? Mine always seem to run out and then I have dirty dishes out. Fair runs 9am-4pm. Suggestions on how to keep the food fresh while I'm there? Or would you punt on the food and just do a display? I know use the cool n'...

This may have already been covered but I haven't seen it. Someone gave me the idea this past week to do a Mega Show. I'll invite five to eight hosts who will be responsible to bring (Not just invite but have confirmed) ten to 15 adult guests. Each host will be her own show and will, in turn...

Hi All! I am doing a table at a Fall Festival at one of our local churches. I have only done one table earlier this month, so I am a little nervous~mixed with excited of course lol. I will not have electricity or anything and i am supposed to have the food available at the start of the event...

I want to make this pizza dough, but the recipe says to pulse the 2 different flours, yeast & salt together in a food processor. And then you add olive oil through the tube and process till a ball forms. So....is there a way I can do this without a food processor? I only have one of those...

Okay, my event is on Saturday and I still can't decide what I want to make! Help! What all have you guys made that went over well?I'm trying to figure out timing of the prep of the recipes, too. I don't want to pick a bunch of things that all have to be served immediately. I need a couple...

I've never made angel food cake before but from what I understand it's a little touchy. Can I make them into cupcakes?
