Asian Pork and Noodle Skillet in the Dcb?

[DebinNC]

Can someone help me out with this? I don't have a skillet big enough and I thought this recipe could be converted for the DCB. I'm just not sure how to do that and in what order.

Maybe it would be a complete disaster?

Thanks!

When I have made this recipe (at least ten times), it always fills the 12" skillet. I just checked our catalog and the skillet has a 5 quart capacity. The DCB only has 12.5 cups capacity. So you are looking at 7.5 cups too much food if you were to use the full recipe and do it in the DCB. That is one recipe that I would not try converting, because of how it would effect the ingredients. You saute in the skillet and bake in the DCB.

Thanks! I think I will make it in 2 separate smaller skillets at once and when it's done I'll transfer it to the DCB for transport. It's for a pot luck and not a show.

That makes good sense. At least you get to show off the DCB, and you don't have to tell them you prepared it in the skillets. It will certainly keep warm longer in the DCB, and it could be put in a microwave to reheat, without too much damage.

Just adding my 2 cents, but if it's 7.5 cups too much food to cook in the DCB, isn't it still 7.5 cups too much when it's time to transport it? Do you have 2 DCBs to transport it or are you going to bring the DCB and something else for the food that won't fit.... Just wondering....
