thanks, I dont know where my brain is today. I didnt even think of doing a search before.
 
coney dog saucers (bread with canned chili dog chili, slices of hot dogs)
chicken salad/tuna salad sandwiches
 
We make pizza pockets. Dice pepperoni w/food chopper, mozz. cheese, a shake of italian seasoning and a bit of pizza sauce. Mix it all up in a batter bowl. Roll out cresants and pinch seams together. Cut out circles with the cut & seal. Spoon your mixture onto the circles, lay another on top and seal w/the cut & seal. 350 for about 12 minutes.

Great idea! I make something similar with puff pastry squares - but I have to cut and seal and crimp...and never thought about letting the cut n seal do the work for me! They'd just be circles instead of triangles. Thanks for turning on my lightbulb!
 
I was thinking that little apple pies would be easy to make...take pie shells and put pie fillings. Then bake according to the pie directions.
 
I think it would be awesome to use for camping! Pie irons anyone? I love the round pie irons, but HATE having to "seal" the pie in the iron trying to cut around the edges of the hot iron with a plastic knife, haha. How about making your pie using the Cut N Seal, then just dropping it in the hot iron and cook away?? Can't wait to try the idea!

Re: cut n seal / Formatted version of docI just had someone order a Cut N Seal so I told her I would pass on some recipes.

I didn't see any other formatted versions - so I made this with
- index
- two columns
- pic of the Cut N Seal
- footer with your contact info - and at end of document

Thanks to whoever compiled these in the first place.
