My hostess is borrowing it until her show, well, the recipe she wants to prepare is in the cookbook and I need to know what tools are needed for it.
Can anyone turn to page 79 and let me know what all is needed for it? I just want to make sure I bring all the right tools!
Thanks a million!

Chocolate Ribbon Croissant Pudding
----------------------------------

Ingredients:
300 g croissants (about 6-7 medium or 4-5 large croissants), cut into 2.5-cm cubes, divided
100 g plain chocolate (70% cocoa solids), coarsely chopped
6 eggs
550 ml single cream
140 g plus 2 tablespoons caster sugar, divided
3 teaspoons vanilla extract
Melted plain chocolate (70% cocoa solids), to decorate (optional)


Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/Gas 4. Lightly spray Deep Dish Baker with sunflower oil; set aside. Using Forged Utility Knife, cut croissants into 2.5-cm cubes; set aside. Coarsely chop chocolate on Cutting Board using Food Chopper; set aside. Whisk together eggs, cream, 140 g of the sugar and vanilla extract in Classic Batter Bowl using Stainless Whisk.

2. Place half of the croissant cubes into prepared baker; scatter with chopped chocolate and top with remaining croissant cubes. Carefully pour egg mixture evenly over croissants, scraping any remaining egg mixture into baker using Small Mix 'N Scraper(R); let stand 10 minutes. Sprinkle top with remaining 2 tablespoons sugar using Adjustable Measuring Spoons.

3. Bake 30-35 minutes or until top is deep golden brown and egg mixture is set in centre. Remove from oven; stand 10 minutes before serving. Drizzle with melted chocolate, if desired. Cut into portions and serve using Mini-Serving Spatula.

Cook's Tip: Buttery croissants make this bread pudding-style dessert rich but with a light texture. The top of the pudding is sprinkled with sugar to form a lovely crunchy crust.

eek! I don't have the micro cooker, the apple cps or the bread knife. D'oh!
 
You'll just have to do the apples the hard way, you could show off the vegtable peeler then, and some of the cutlery! You need the large Micro-Cooker to warm up the half & half, and the small Micro-Cooker to heat up the topping. I'm sure the Batter Bowls will work just fine. It doesn't call for a bread knife, so you should be just fine! That was one of her add ons. I just read it further though, do you have more then one batter bowl? you would need 3 of them.

instead of the micro cooker, you can use a small batter bowl -- I don't have the micro cookers b/c I don't like to nuke plastic.

instead of the apple p/c/s, you can use the corer (if you have it) or the wedger & then slice each wedge with a knife.

the recipe doesn't say bread knife, it was one of my add-ons. The recipe tells you to "slice each croissant from top to bottom into 1/2" slices". The bread knife seemed like the best tool for that job. I'm use any serrated blade would work -- do you have the tomato knife??
 
prep bowls for the butterscotch sauce. and DON'T peel the apples.
