Creating Delicious Recipes with a DCB in January

[batroark]

Re: DCB Show--Lots of great recipesFollowing is the recipes solely for the DCB on my personal website! I sell a ton of the DCB's! I haven't done it at a show, but the Easy Peach Cobbler is something easy that I do at home....which could be done at shows. This is definitely my favorite product along with the Mix 'N Chop! My husband loves it as much! When someone says "Now that I have this, what all can I cook in it?" That is when I have the opportunity to send them to my PWS to view these recipes as well as micro-cooker recipes and ideas and some delicious trifle recipes and more.

Super Bowl Short Ribs

Thank you Angela for the great recipes, I dont know why I hadn't thought of putting them on my PWS before what a great idea. I normally email them out to my customers but it would be a great opportunity to draw people to my PWS!

Don't mention it! I actually got this idea from a sister consultant in Arizona. We were putting our heads together trying to come up with some great ideas and she come up with this one somewhere. So as I am demo-ing it I will just mention for them to bookmark my website for awesome recipes that change from time to time! Visit my website for more ideas.

 

[byrd1956]

This sounds great Andrea. Yum!

 

[aPamperedBride]

I'm hoping someone will post the fajita idea that was a joint effort by other consultants! I'm a by-the-book cook! (I don't know what to do when it says 'season to taste' before it is cooked because I don't know what it will taste like!) This is what initially drew me to Pampered Chef. I couldn't cook, but I could read and follow directions. Being told what tool to use allowed me to fix delicious recipes.

Go to the files then type in "fajita" and you'll find the "easy fajitas in the deep covered baker". I did and I have downloaded it to try this week. It sounds yummy!

Thanks for sharing! We did this for dinner on Sunday night and enjoyed it, so I plan to offer it for shows. I'm guessing you use the Food Chopper to finely chop the oatmeal? I had some steel-cut oats on hand that I used instead of oatmeal and it worked really well.

 

[cooknmama]

For the fajita recipe it says to use a lime and also the southwest seasoning (I think) anyways I just use the chipotle rub for the meat cut up bell pepper and onion and let it cook 15 min. I didn't see that one posted so just to let you know.
And on a side note, I made the meat loaf and OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!! It was SOOOOO YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[PamperedSheep]

saving place for later....thanks!

I've been using the chipotle rub lately too - VERY GOOD!!!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Oh man, I love that chipotle rub - I need an industrial size bottle of it!

 

[amy07]

Oh man, I love that chipotle rub - I need an industrial size bottle of it!

me too! I use it in place of the Jamaican Jerk for nachos too! If it is a large show, I'll make both. Of course we make the chicken in the DCB first! I shred the chicken with the mix 'n chop so that everyone gets chicken on their nachos. People love that!

 

[pamperedval]

Does the mix n chop really shred the cooked chicken? I never thought of that - but it would be a great use for it...

 

[vonfirmath]

I measured the inside of my microwave and the inside is 11.5"x11.5"x8" Is that big enough for this piece?

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Sorry, but it's not! Your microwave needs to be 13"x13"x7.5".:cry:

 

[candiejayne]

Guess its time to buy a new microwave LOL!

 

[crissy11]

I had a hostess last week who's microwave wasn't big enough to use the DCB and she went out and bought one.. That was pretty funny..

 

[candiejayne]

The last time I bought one, I made sure it was big. I didn't have the DCB then, but I still wanted a big one.

I'm taking the oreo lava cake to my cluster meeting this weekend. I hope it turns out. This will be my first time preparing food for PC ladies.

 

[vonfirmath]

Man, I'm SO tempted... But I thought we had a large microwave already!

So: Do I buy the DCB expecting to one day have a large enough microwave for it? Or wait until I have the microwave to fit it in?

 

[Symara]

von, you can always use it in the oven until you have a big enough micro...

I wonder if it will fit in mine though. I need to measure. Our micro is our oven. Our oven went out, the the microwave, so we just bought a over range Convection Microwave. We love it!

 

[KrisGio]

Can someone give me the recipe for the 30 minute Chicken in the DCB. I wanted to make it for dinner tonight and I can't find my recipe! Thanks!

 

[DebbieJ]

it's behind CC in the budget friendly recipes and in the theme show section

 

[praephil]

Has anyone done Steak Fajitas in the DCB? If so, what cut of meat did you use? I have a customer that wants chicken and steak fajitas, but I've only done chicken and can't find anything on the steak. Thanks

Someone mentioned this last week, I think. If I remember right, it was suggested that you shouldn't do the steak in the DCB, because it might get tough. You can do it in the skillet though, and that can showcase the cookware.

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.

This sounds great, & I want to try it at a party one of my girlfriends is hosting.

I just have a question about the icing. Do you spread it on top of the unbaked cake or drop it by spoonfls throughout the cake? How do you do it? Thanks!!

How many chicken breasts do you do, Amy?
Do you cook them in the microwave or oven?
Lid on, I am assuming?
