Creating Delicious Recipes with a DCB in January

[janej76]

Hi Everyone

I have a host hosting a show in January. I booked this show off another, and my host there got the DCB as her free item.

She hasn't used it yet, and has suggested that we do a recipe in this at the January show.

So what can I make in it, that can be made in the show time/format?!

 

[stefani2]

are you looking for a dessert or a main dish?

fast/easy chicken fajitas would be good

 

[ughubug]

I Love the fajitas and you are guaranteed to sell salad choppers...heat the tortillas with a damp paper towl in the rice cooker in the microwave too...

people have been very impressed with the pork tenderloin in the microwave too...

 

[candiejayne]

OMG we can do tortillas in the rice cooker? Another reason that is my favorite piece of product!

LOL sorry a little off topic!

Tell me about these biscuit bites...I've not seen a recipe for them before!

I've been doing the Chicken Tortilla Casserole and it's a HUGE hit, especially since you can have dinner on the dinner in 13-15 minutes!!

Fantastic. These are great, loving the sound of all of them! Definitely a savoury recipe, as I don't do desserts at my shows! Like the sound of the tortillas, although I have neither the micro-cooker or the salad choppers, so could be a problem. I'll look at the tenderloin recipe though, that sounds doable!I'm guessing my host will need a large microwave though to fit the DCB in? Does anyone know the measurements off hand?

Go to Consultant's Corner, look up the theme show for "The Incredible 30 Minute Chicken" and "Pork Tenderloin in under 10 minutes" (or whatever it's called), and you'll find the recipes, tips for your shows, and the microwave measurements there - All in cute little flyers that you can print off for your reference. You won't find the fajitas recipe there though, as that was informally developed by various consultants.

Tell me about these biscuit bites...I've not seen a recipe for them before!

1 can Grands Biscuits (8 count - any kind)
1/2 stick of butter
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 Tbls. Italian Seasoning
1 Clove garlic


Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in 8" or 10" saute pan. Grate in parmesan cheese, sprinkle in seasoning, press in garlic. Cut biscuits in to quarters, and arrange over the top of the butter mixture, then stir to coat biscuits. Bake for 15-18 minutes. Slide out onto round dots plate, pour any extra butter mixture over the top, and serve with small tongs.


This is a GREAT demo that everyone loves. In fact, it's a most requested recipe - so I put it on the back of my business cards! I use a ton of products when demoing this recipe too.

10" saute pan
Microplane grater
garlic press
Italian Seasoning
Easy Read Measuring Spoon
Forged Utility Knife
Cutting Board
Small Mix n Scraper
Oven Mitt
Cooling Rack
Dots Plate
Small Bamboo Tongs
kitchen timer

Like I said, I do this demo along with the chicken - do the chicken first, put it in the micro, then do the biscuit demo - that takes about 15 minutes. then put the biscuits in the oven, go over all of the housekeeping stuff (like host bonuses, upcoming specials, the guest special, theme shows, etc...) Then, take the chicken out of the micro, and show it to everyone, cover it to sit for a few minutes. Take the biscuits out, plate them, pass them around, and cut up the chicken.

While everyone is eating - explain the checkout procedure, do a drawing, and you are done!

2 tbsp Southwestern Seasoning Mix
1/4 tsp salt
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups thick and chunky salsa
4 cups broken tortilla chips
1 cup (4 oz) shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese blend

Remove stem and seeds from poblano pepper using Utility Knife; slice into thin strips. Arrange poblano strips evenly over bottom of Deep Dish Baker. Thinly slice chicken using Utility Knife. Combine chicken, seasoning mix and salt in Classic Batter Bowl. Arrange chicken over poblano strips. Cover baker with 15-in. square of Parchment Paper, tucking corners of paper under baker. Microwave on HIGH 4 minutes; stir using Mix ‘N Scraper® to separate chicken strips. Cover; microwave an additional 4-6 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.

The Chicken Tortilla Casserole needs more respect! (Make it without the cheese, add a can of drained whole kernel corn and use chicken breast for a somewhat lighter version. And substitute an onion for the poblano pepper if you need to.) It is sooo good and makes great "planned overs" for work lunches. I am having some today. Yum! :chef:​

I have never made this recipe - but DEFINATELY plan to - can I ask- WHY NO CHEESE?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I think she was saying to not use cheese to make it "lighter". I'd just use a lowfat cheese instead.

I think I'll make this tomorrow. I can't today - because I need my DCB for my show tonight!

 

[LeslieSGI]

Yep, that was what I was saying. I had planned to add the cheese later to the individual containers that I packed for lunches but I forgot and we never missed it.​

Barbeque Chicken Sandwiches!

I always sell the salad choppers with this recipe. Just microwave 3 chicken breaks for 9 minutes (or 12 min for 4 chicken breasts), and then have your guests shred them. Use tools to make barbeque sauces.

I get great reviews from this and it is sooo easy and inexpensive!

Can I ask, why? Can't you just put the lid on? Why the parchment paper?

 

[stefani2]

Can I ask, why? Can't you just put the lid on? Why the parchment paper?

I think when doing the recipe in the Dish Dish Baker - there isn't a lid. So the Parchment Paper acts as a lid.

I did it in the DCB tonight for supper WITH the lid and it was great. I took the lid off for the last few minutes to melt the cheese.

My hosts love this show. The recipe is de-lish. My husband wants me to stop doing this show so I will make the casserole at home!

 

[c00p]

When I do the CTC in the DCB (follow me yet??) I do use chicken breasts and an onion, BUT I don't rinse the black beans and I don't add the chips and cheese until the very, very end because I don't like my chips all mushy. I slightly stir in my chips and just put the cheese over the top and then nuke it for 2 minutes and done. It's a great sell because you can literally have dinner on the table in 13-15 minutes!!!

sorry being really thick. Are these the measurements for the baker, or the size of the microwave needed to accommodate it?

Thank you!

How about a quick molten lava oreo cake.

Take a chocolate cake mix and put it in the baker and add the ingredients per the box instructions for the cake. use a whisk to whick it together. Take a can of Vanilla frosting and scoop it on the top of the cake. Place it in the microwave for 12 minutes.

Makes an awesome oreo cookie cake.
