Hi,

I have a lot of professional cookware, but I don't have the family skillet, which seems to be the most popular for PC recipes. I DO have the 4 and 6 piece sets, plus the small saute pan. Any ideas anyone? I really want to promote cookware and earn a lot of Executive Cookware, but I don't have any MAIN demo ideas for this cookware. (I do have a few small side demos for the small saute pan.)

Thanks for all your wisdom, everyone!
 
Break out that 10" skillet! Before I got the family, I made the cakes (Turtle & Pineapple Upside down) in the 10"; I just lowered the cooking about 10 degrees and cooked it for about 10 minutes longer.

Any other recipes that require the Family, just 1/2 it if you fear that the quantity is too much. Even the Lemon Chicken Stir-fry...I didn't have the stir-fry when we first received this recipe as a Celebrations. I used my 10" and just cooked 1/2 the veggies at a time & then poured into my large SA bowl.
 
I have been demoing the pull apart bread this month and I only have the 10 inch skillet as well. I just double that recipe and it works great. I also do a dip to go along with it which is nice because I show a piece of stoneware also.
 
Pull Apart BreadCan you post the Pull Apart Bread Recipe you use? Also, what dip do you do with it. I'm wanting to show the cookware for sure, right now, but still like to do something with the Stoneware at each show. Thanks so much for your help.
 
Just FYI I think you can still get the family skillet at 1/2 price on a supply order right now.
 
I know this has been posted on several different threads but I'll post it again here. I have also been doing a dip recipe which shows the small glazed oval baker so I still show stoneware too.

Do you think they will add it to our cookware points???
 
I'm guessing no. Since in the rules it states cookware you sell at shows. In the past they have not given us credit for our own supply/kit enhancement purchases towards trip points, etc, I don't think they will start now.
 
Did the pull apart bread for dinner tonight...!! WONDERFUL!! the family (two kids 11 and 6 ) LOOVED IT...
I did it with about 3-4 tablespoons...and it was perfect! No Grands only Homestyle biscuits, cut in 6ths... fabulous ... and little ingredients... I have a hard time offering recipes with a long list for my host to have to purchase!

Can't wait to try it at a show!
Did someone say they use a dipping sauce? what?
Oh...and I sprayed a touch of Basil Canola oil in there with the butter, Italian seasoning and garlic...

You guys are great!
 
I have been making the hot broccoli dip with the pull apart bread. People have loved both recipes. I made the caramel pecan bread at a morning show over the weekend and it was soooo good.
