Hi,

I am borrowing the fluted stone for a recipe next week and wanted to share some other reasons the fluted is good. Here's what I have already

Great for cooking a chicken. Sit it on top of the piece in the middle, put your potatoes and carrots around it and bake it.
Question: Do you need to fill the little hole in the top of the flute? what temp you cook it at, etc.?

Baked potatoes. Set your potatoes around it and bake as you normally would.

Anyone have the Liquor cake recipe? I have to get that. I know its cake mix, your favorite liquor such as Baileys, sour cream and not sure what else. I'll try to find it and post it.

TIA
 
The post in the middle is closed, not open like a regular fluted pan so you don't have to worry about that.

I've also heard you can made a meatloaf in it, and then serve it with mashed potatoes in the middle.

Garlic Parmesan pull-apart bread is great in this as well.

HTH,

OOh rebecca maybe you just saved me a little. How do you make the garlic parmesan? any different from the pull aparts in the saute pan?

Thanks for the other info.
 
There isn't a hole at the top of the fluted Stone!;) That is one reason the chicken roasts so nicely - it's roasting from the inside and outside at the same time! Here is how I make mine:
Slice 1 lemon in half. Using the UM - slice 1/2 of the lemon into thin slices, and cut the other half into quarters. Slice 2 garlic cloves w/ the UM. Place the lemon slices & garlic sliceds under the skin of the chicken, and stuff the rest of the lemon up into the chicken. Sprinkle Rosemary Seasoning Blend all over the outside of the chicken and set it up on the middle of the Stone. (so it looks like a dancing chicken!) fill the bottom of the stone w/ baby carrots and baby redskin potatoes - Roast at 400* for 10-15 minutes per pound, check w/ your meat thermometer in the thigh of the chicken to make sure the temp has reached 160* - let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before carving and serving.

Everyone I have served this to thinks it's the best roast chicken they have ever had!
 
Fluted pan recipesI pulled these from the files section on this website. There are many, many uses for the fluted cake pan. I know I sold several when I did the 12 minute cake demo. I know these files will really help you to decide what you may want to try on your next demo. Or at home! The crispy chicken is so yummy!!!
I have attached the files. Knock yourself out! And I didn't see that liquor recipe in the list but I'm sure if you just follow the instructions for any other cake it should work.
It would kind of be like adding vanilla extract or some other flavoring so if this is the usual cake recipe:
Cake Mix
16 oz. sour cream or pie filling or pudding mix
3 eggs
then you would just add a couple of teaspoons of your favorite liquor.
Debbie :D

Thank you Debbie. Would've been good for me to check the files first! lol

Becky that chicken sounds fantastic!
Thanks!
 
WOW! I never would have thought of those things!!
 
Thanks Debbie! I just got this pan from the stoneware promo and haven't used it yet because I didn't know what to do with it!
 
Not many people will admit that they like fruitcake, but I do. And I love our fluted pan (regular or minis) for my homemade fruitcake. Which reminds me, I need to go get ingredients so it can age properly before Christmas. (It sits in brandy-soaked cheesecloth for a month.)
 
Will these 12 min. cakes go into the mini stone? Just wondering if the big took the same amount of mix as the big one. Thanks... those recipes sound awsome!!
