I love love love the recipes for the Power Cooking Show and I am very excited to do my first one in a couple of weeks. However, I do not have the 12" skillet or the stock pot to demonstrate during my show. This month is my kit enhancement month so I know I can get it at 40% off but I am very apprehensive about spending so much money. How do you do it w/out these items? Just use the cookware the host has? Any ideas would be appreciated!
 
Well there is a lifetime warrenty on the cookware, and I have the 12" SS pan, which I love!!

Personally I do not choose recipes that I do not have the supplies for. Why not stick with what is in your kit? It is more then do-able!!

Sorry --- I am not much help
 
It is so worth the price! I got mine for my bday last year from my MIL and it's the most used pan in our house!
 
Borrow the cookware you need from your director or a cluster-mate, if you aren't going to have your own.

the Skillet is one of the main products of the Power Cooking show - there wouldn't really be much purpose in doing it, if you were just going to use any old pan that your host has.....
 
Agree with what they said. I'm not planning to promote Power Cooking shows anymore, but I still use the recipes at home for myself. And, I use the 12" all the time. I may bring up the Power Cooking show if I can work on the taco recipe as the main dish to serve.
