What is pastry: Definition and 48 Discussions

Do you have a suggestion on how to incorporate the Pastry Mat into a holiday show? It would be great to do a recipe at a show using this new product. I thought maybe the Festive Cranberry Crunch Bark called for the mat, but it doesn't. Has anyone made the peanut brittle at a show, or is anyone...

My first show is this week and I am very nervous. In my kit I got some recipe cards. Is the elegant artichoke cups very tastee? I am a little concerend abot the desert. Strawberry Amaretto pastry. I am just plain nervous period. Do we have to make those the first few parties?

This may sound like a dumb questions but, what is the Pastry Mat for? Does it work like those Silpat sheets (non-stick baking sheets) or is this for non-oven use only? Is it just a tool onto which you roll out dough? Just wondering why it is $27.50...seems high.

Has anyone had trouble with this item? I used it maybe twice and i went to blend pastry on the 4th of July and it came apart where it was welded! I had to use the old fashioned kind (im glad i didnt throw my old one away!) I was dissapointed. I am hoping that this is a rare problem.

I was at my parents last night, and we were making mashed potatoes. I couldn't find their potatoe masher, and used the pastry blender. It worked wonderful. It was so easy.

Has anyone used the new style pastry blender? I earned it, but it is still in the wrapper:rolleyes: . I have 2 or 3 of the old style and just never use it at a show. I have had 3 people in the last week ask me about this product. I don't have any first hand experience. So I need to draw...

Hey everyone! I have a show on Sunday and my host said she went to a PC show 10 years ago and they demo-ed a cherry pastry and she said it was so good! Now, 10 years ago could be 5 or 15, you never know. If anyone knows of such a recipe, would you mind posting it? I would greatly appreciate...

HI Everyone I had an idea for my shows before Father's Day (June 19th) and thought I'd share it I found a recipe (marthastewart.com) for a barbeque sauce. I was going to make some of this sauce, put it in a jar and tie one of our pastry brushes around it with a gift tag "to dad" on it. I...

Pampered Chef Pastry BrushI tell all of my customers who purchase the pastry brush that it should not be washed in the dishwasher, since the high heat will eventually make the bristles start to fall out and make hairy food. The way I wash mine is squirt some Dawn dishwashing liquid...
