For a party coming up the hostess asked for the Mini-cinnamon rolls, which I'm glad to make as it highlights the mini-baker (which is the guest special).
However, I am concerned that it dosen't use very many tools.
I don't want to insist the host buy groceries for another recipe just to show more tools.
Is there something I could make that wouldn't cost much for groceries (if I bring them) or take too much time?
I could show off some individual things (like the garlic press and the corer), but I'm suffering serious indecision here!!!! :D
Any ideas??
Thanks,
D.C.
 
Use a potato or two...If you go to the pc files, there is a file about having a potato show. It tells about a million (ok, that's an exaggeration!) different tools to show with a potato. That won't cost you a lot. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll see if I can find it for you.

Lost Potato...I couldn't find the "potato file" (I keep hearing that in some low, baritone voice...like the "X-Files" :D ). It sounds interesting. Is this just to show off various tools or do you make something out of the potato?

Super Demo!!!Sandy:

Thank you for the potato demo file--it's excellent!! :D I love that it gives the whole 'script' for the demo! Sadly, I'm lacking a few of the tools (like the V-shaped cutter and the USG), but I could definately improvise!!

Thank you and "showmehow2" both very much--this is an idea I will absolutely use at my party!! :)
