Deep Dish Baker - Touch Down Taco Dip

[BeckyC5830]

I have a customer who bought a piece of unglazed stoneware years ago (she says 20) that resembles the Deep Dish Baker. She makes a taco/bean dip in it, I'm thinking Touchdown Taco Dip, but I don't have access to the recipe in it (to see what pan is recommended to make it in) and her dish now has a hairline crack. Because her stoneware piece is in another state right now she is wondering if the Deep Dish Baker is the same pan she bought years ago. For any of you veterans, has the DDB been around that long? Did it first come out as unglazed?

BTW -- Does anyone has the Touchdown Taco Dip recipe they can forward me? I can't find it in the files and it's in a cookbook I don't have...

My deep dish baker is the glazed vanilla from the 90's. Not sure how long it was around before that.

I think the recipe is still on Consultant's Corner, but I'm attaching it for you just in case.

Yes - in fact, it hasn't been that long since the unglazed one was discontinued. I LOVE mine.

I'm sure it was the Touchdown Taco Dip - when I first started, the recipe that I had called for it to be made in the old DDB.

The difference between the unglazed and glazed is that the glazed one that is currently in the catalog has little handles on it, and the unglazed one doesn't - and the glazed one is just a tad bit deeper.

We have the unglazed one from when my GRANDMA was a consultant! LOL..but, like ChefBeckyD said, they're very similar. I would imagine that you could do most (if not all) of the recipes from the old one in the new one.

Thank you so much for your responses and the recipe! I can let my customer know now. You're all the best!

Touchdown taco dip is a must have around here and has been for over 20 years. The unglazed deep dish baker was smaller than the glazed one but only in that the glazed one is deeper. I have made that dip in the glazed one and it's just fine but that recipe also fits perfectly in the minibaker. Personally I prefer using the minibaker because the recipe fills the stone (but does not over flow at all) so it looks better to serve...

Customer is placing an order on my niece's show to replace her old DDB based on everyone's feedback! Thank you!
