Boost Sales with Proven Recipes Using DCB and Try Me Pan | Cookware Show Tips

[TheFreddiesCook]

For my next shows, I want to try recipes that sell more products. Any suggestions ? I want to start selling the cookware, or the knives or the deep covered baker. I've had pretty good shows so far because of the number of guests, but I'd like to see my sales go up a little. What's a good recipe using the DCB? Any recipes with the try me pan that we have in our kit?

Garlic Bites for the Saute Pan. I have been making a Molten Lava Cake in the DCB, either as the main demo or as an extra. It is SO easy and inexpensive and a huge WOW factor!

You can't go wrong with a demo that has chocolate in it somewhere. When I looked back at my highest shows, those were the ones with chocolate. I either did the Lava Cake in the RCP, Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies in the LBP or Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Torte in the Torte Pans.

It's different for everyone...because Dessert Shows are never high in sales or bookings for me. I get way better bookings, and much higher sales when I do a main dish show.I had 8 shows in January, and a show avg. of $707. All of my shows were either Loaded Baked Potato Chowder w/ Garlic Parm. Biscuit Bites, or Jerk Chicken Nachos, or for my brunch shows, I did Ham & Cheese Brunch Squares w/ Caramel Biscuit Bites.

I agree - people are so impressed that they can cook a delicious MEAL in the microwave!! I usually do fajitas, and they sell the heck out of the DCB!!

Anything in the magic pot works for me. If I do a recipe on something else, I do the lava cake in the magic pot. It is my # 1 selling item.
Have fun!!

I don't do dessert shows. (even though my name suggests I do)

I simply add a chocolate dessert to my demo. I always show off the Deep Covered Baker but I ADD a chocolate recipe and that seems to "sweeten" the deal.

I love the south of the border meatloaf, people are amazed that it comes out so nicely and not all dried around the edges. I like the chowder too.

I am doing the Fajitas for my Friday show. The host requested it so I finally get to use the DCB and I hope to sell a few of those! I will raffle a Weekday Dinners Done recipe collection among all the people who purchase a DCB.

I do the Fajita's in the DCB or if I do a different demo (like pizza) & then I also bring a pork tenderloin to the show and do that in the DCB in addition to the other recipe. My party avg is $702.00 (darn those catalog shows that lower my avg).
