Boost Your Meal Prep Game with Power Cooking Show Recipes | Get Inspired!

[ChefMoore]

I've seen flyers on here in the files section about "Power Cooking" shows. My understanding is that you prepare a meal that can then be eaten over the course of several days. Has anyone ever tried this? It seems like a good idea to sell some of the higher priced products to people who may not even be inclined to cook on a daily basis.

If you've done a Power cooking show before, would you mind sharing a little bit about it and what types of recipes you prepare, etc.

Thanks!

I've done "investment cooking" shows, which is pretty much the same thing...cook once, eat twice (or more).

Usually I do something with chicken...lately I've been doing the 30-minute chicken and then morphing it into a Taco Bar, but you could do any recipe that calls for cooked chicken. "If you do the 30-minute chicken, there you have your first meal (just prepare the veggies, etc.) and with the leftovers you can make this here recipe." :chef:

You can take the cooked chicken and turn it into just about any recipe that calls for cooked chicken. Some of my favorites are:
-Harvest Chicken Salad
-Chicken Enchilada Ring
-Jerk Chicken nachos (or Salad)

It's really all in how you tweak it...it's really all investment cooking if you cook with leftovers

BTW, Carolyn (dannyzmom) has turned me on to doing 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the DCB for 8 minutes...talk about a great way to sell the DCB!

HTH

How do you cook those? I love boneless skinless!! I wonder how just regular chicken legs would do? Kids love them so much.....maybe another plus if it works?

you can also do 3 chickens in the roasting pan if you want to cook them at home, pull the meat off and out them in ziplock bags to take to the show.

This is how I am doing mine:
before the show: cook the chickens in the roaster and get meat of the bones and store

At show: cook 1 chicken in the DCB and while it is cooking, assemble 3 meals using the chicken you brought~I like the recipes Kristen gave but you can really do any chicken dish that freezes well (remeber, things like pasta DON'T freeze well)

Leave the 3 assembled meals with your host and the guests eat the chicken from the DCB...

I am calling this show "Fix and Freeze"

Check out the files under "Power Cooking" and some good ones come up.
The shows I have done...I provide the host with a shopping list of chix breasts, ribs and ingredients for taco soup. I make the soup at the show and fix 2 recipes using the chix breasts and one using the ribs (the ingredients go into a large zip lock bag-meat is still frozen) for her guests. The host then has 3 meals ready to go into the freezer and she is really happy. I usually take a pan of brownies or bake cookies on the stone (Choc chip dough squares) at her house while the taco soup is cooking. The host could also have the soup on the stove ready to go to if she is able to or you can put it together quickly. Some of the files on Chef Success should have handouts for your guests to take home. This is a fun, easy show.
