[Joelybear]

Hi Ladies.Can I just say that I am so glad I found this site.You all are wonderful.I need your help.I do not have the new ridged Baker and since I am inactive I can not buy one.My best friend is going to have a show so I can get back to being active and she wants the new tapenade meatballs at her party.Can anyone tell me if they have made them in another stone and if they are good? I do not want to disappoint her but I want to make sure that they are good.
I also have a DCB and I was wondering if they would work in there.Any help would be greatly appreciated

Can you borrow the ridged baker from a local teammate, recruiter, or director?I haven't made the recipe yet to know the answer to your question, but my guess is that the meatballs will be mushy on the bottom if you use a flat bottomed stone, especially in the microwave. But you never know until you try it. If you can't get the ridged baker from someone to borrow, I'd tell your friend that you don't want the recipe at her show to flop. There are soooo many other recipes that are great, I'd find one that you love and encourage her to go with that. I'd entice her to get some bookings and at those parties you'll be able to have the ridged baker and can do the recipe then.

I wonder if you could cook them up on the stove top in one of our pans!

That's what I was thinking. If using the stovetop isn't an issue, and since August is cookware with the grill pan set as a special, why not use the Grill Pan. It's got "ridges" - just not as deep.
Or, if you have the fluted stone that might work; or Deep Dish baker or pie plate and wad up some parchment paper to put in the bottom of the stone for the meatballs to rest on.

Hi there! I'm so happy to hear that you found this site and that you're getting back into being an active consultant. It's always great to have a supportive friend who is willing to host a party for you. In regards to the tapenade meatballs, I have not personally made them in any other stone, but I have heard from other consultants that they have had success using the Deep Covered Baker. The key is to make sure the meatballs are evenly spaced and not overcrowded in the dish. As for the taste, I have heard nothing but positive reviews about the tapenade meatballs, so I think you and your friend will both love them. Let us know how they turn out! Happy cooking!
