I am still working on earning my skillet for free, but I have a September host who doesn't like cake, but likes brownies. I was thinking about baking brownies in the executive family skillet, but haven't tried it yet. I was also thinking about making the new nutty carmel brownies in it.

I could always bake the brownies in the bar pan and make something else in the skillet, but I wanted to know your thoughts! Thanks!
 
There is a recipe for Molten Chocolate Skillet Brownies in a Season's Best from about 2 years ago - it is amazing!!!

This sounds delicious! I found the recipe, but what do you do for the 35-40 minute baking time?
 
You can quickly make the brownies, get them in the oven then do introductions, a catalog walk-through, queen of shoppers, pass the product, your booking and recruiting commercials, etc.

I do them at the very beginning of the show.......have them in the oven probably 5-10 minutes after I begin. Then, I talk about the cookware, pass around the small saute pan w/ the ice cube demo.....show them sliced almonds toasted in the small bar pan, talk about stoneware, open a can of cherry pie filling, pour cherries and almonds into 2 small SA bowls w/ caddy - talk about SA - have everyone share their favorite PC product and how they use it.....take the molten choc. skillet brownie out of the oven and serve it. :D (oh and I've also talked about host specials, guest specials, etc.......) usually the time works out just about right.

Thanks for the tips! I think I will offer this in September (maybe more months if it is sucessful!) I really like the almonds and cherries as condiments also! Maybe a quick salsa would be nice too. I know I could talk for that long, just not sure if everyone would pay attention that long!
