Chicken Tortilla soup (cookware) with a desert in either the DCB or fluted (Stoneware) in micro
OR
Beef Enchilada Casserole (29 min to dinner) in DCB (Stoneware) and Sweet cinnamon bites (cookware)
Sold 3 DCBs full price with the Casserole at a show and 3 cookbooks at a different show with the same recipe... That may be my winner. I really want to show off cookware too because I love it and want to talk it up for Feb bookings!

So far I've used it just to make a tried and true recipe, my potato kugel and it came out GREAT! What was nice too was popping the lid on and keeping lots of heat in while other things baked so everything was ready for dinner at the same time! I'm totally in love with my mini-baker too... I made a corn pie recipe in it and it was PERFECT... I can definitely sell these things now. LOL Just need to find a place to store them in my kitchen... the eternal struggle continues. LOL

I actually started doing that. I've got a box full of non-PC stuff going to Goodwill or Freecycle folks... but yea... my kitchen is small and ill-designed (pre-plumbing and pre-appliance so there's just no room for anything)... but we're getting there. I'm inspired to make enough through PC to work on making the space more useable and at least get everything that belongs in the kitchen, into the kitchen (the microwave and toaster oven and all my pots n pans live in the dining room LOL)...ChefBeckyD said:At first, it was a matter of getting rid of all of my non-PC kitchen stuff, but now, I've done that.....and the struggle to find space for new stuff STILL continues!

Here is my plan if anyone is interested:
slice carrots with Mandoline
cut celery with Forged Santuko
Cut onion with Forged Santuko......then coarsely shop all with Food Chopper
place in DCB with 1 TBL Garlic Infused Canola Oil and cook for 4 mins with lid on
Add 1 can chicken broth opened with Smooth Edge Can Opener
Measure 1/2 cup milk into Easy Read Measuring Cup
Add Potatoes-stir with Stainless whisk
Cook 8 mins, covered
Add 1/2 cup sour cream measured in Measure All Cup
Snip fresh parsley in Prep Bowl with Kitchen Shears~add to soup
Cook 2 mins, covered
Mix Beer Bread in Classic Batter Bowl with Mix N Scraper; use Large Scoop to put mixture in 12 cup Muffin Pan
I know there is more I can show by adding some of the "extras" to the soup...what I have mentioned here shows $400+...maybe this will help my show average!
