i cut one of those pillsbury(HAS TO BE PILLSBURY) sub wont work with the extra oil content! cut that in half then use scrapper to flaten on bottom of sautepan then preheat to 350 & back about 10-15min use toothpick to check then let sit for at least 10-i let sit longer & it was hard-not too appealing to eat when real hard ya know!!!i uses the minispatula to just loosen a bit on the edge & it slid right out!! also you can put some water in it when your done to show how the butter or oil wont slide to the sides of pan.Also since i did the cheeseburger ring & didnt demo-i went over the different tools,alot about hosting & about the opportunity-i also brought 2 potatos & demos the tools on those,chef's knife to cut(sold one of those) cheesegrater for hashbrowns(sold one) garlic pressed it,then with crinklecutter i showed how with the regualr knife after awhile it turned the potato brown from ainr-with crinklecut it didnt! Same with bananas!!!then I chopped some tomato for them(sold a few of those!) i wanted to only be there 2hrs-but it started late & i sat & talked to the 2 girls who wanna do catalog shows & one is thinking about joining and one of my friends-used to work at my dads office bought $200 worth of stuff & later called me at like 11pm! left me a message saying i know i can do 4shows & i know i'd love doing what you do!! Don't put my order through yet I would like to sign up!!! YEY! the other girl who is thinking about it & is doing a cattyshow i let her know she can use up to $40 from her show towards her kit! She liked that alot!!!sooo once she's signed up i'm a FD!!! I have 1 already!!! SOO EXCITED!!! and my sis is probably gonna signup so i'll have some cookware!!! YES!
 
Great job! Just make sure they submit at least $750 in THEIR SS month 1...4 shows of $150 won't cut it for the cookware!
 
Great Job! The Buffet shows have always worked for me. Did you make any drinks in the QSPs? My shows have always been real casual and I think the guests like that. They don't feel any pressure and are just there to have a fun evening out. Good Job on the recruits!!
