Client Does Not Believe in Using a Microwave

[jkowalski]

I am doing a healthy show where I am not supposed to mention cooking food in the microwave. I would like to give share quick healthy recipes that do no involve a microwave does anyone have any ideas? I am making fresh Salsa and plan on showing off the small ridge baker and DCB.

How long does chicken take took cook in the small ridge baker and DCB in the oven?

I would mention chicken your way on either the grill pan w/press or the 12" skillet. The grill pan is great for shrimp skewers, turkey burgers, as well as chicken.

Discuss how quick and easy it is to make a hotdish in the 12" skillet. Brown the meat, add the veggies and liquids, get it all hot and bubbly on top of the stove, add some dumplings or Tator Tots and dinner's done in a flash. I LOVE my skillet!

I know that for myself, I've pretty much quit using the microwave for cooking meals, and quick has a different meaning for me than probably most people - if this is for someone who isn't using the micro, their main concern may not be getting dinner ready in 15 min. or less.

The 12 inch skillet is a great tool - a recipe that is wonderful in it for showing a faster one dish meal is the creamy one pot pasta. Add some chicken that was grilled in the grill pan for a two dish meal!

I use the microwave at shows, but not for me or the children anymore. I don't use one at home at all anymore. The Mexican Chicken Lasagna takes about 25 min's in the oven. I buy the already cooked deli select meat so that I don't have to prep that too. Go back to the make-ahead things. Talk about how they can prep chicken in advance & have it frozen already ready diced & ready to add to their favorite recipe. Same goes with hamburger. Bring it home, scramble it, drain & freeze. Makes meal prep time go so much faster! The grill pan rocks for non-microwave users. I'm really missing mine & looking forward to getting it back when the military finally sends all our property to me.I also have toddlers, so I cut up chicken & pork chops into nugget sized pieces, then coat & cook in the oven. They cook faster than a larger section of meat and it cools faster for the munchkins.
