Easy Microwave Recipes for No-Cooking Cooking Show

[dexheimers]

Hello all,

My husband and I have a show scheduled towards the end of September. The host really wants a cooking show, but there is only a microwave available in the facilities where the show will be held. What kind of recipes are out there for this type of scenario? Keep in mind that we have the SS kit and only a few other products.

Thanks for your help!!!

Do you have the stoneware fluted pan or the rice cooker? If so you can do microwave cakes.

 

[Lisa/ChefBear]

Invest in little Stove Top Burner........And do a stir fry or something in the cookware!!

If only Microwave available, MAKE sure you know how big the microwave is, won't work to plan on it turning or fitting it in and then being a "small" one.

OR how 'bout making Prof. puffs at home and bringing them made, show how to make the dough, and say something like, let's now put them in the oven, and here's what you'll get out, again showing cookware and even heating of cookware. Get a laugh when they realize no oven and you'll be like Emeril or Rachel Ray when you can Bam and have them done, also shows SA is you can bring them on a SA platter or medium squares Then just make filling and fill with EAD and melt frosting in ERMC in the Microwave or in micro cooker, etc.

HTH,

Lisa

No Cooking Cooking ShowYou could make a Fruit Pizza by baking your foundation at home. Then use your Egg Slicer Plus on strawberries, kiwi, bananas etc. The Batter Bowl to whip up the frosting which is cream cheese and confectioner sugar. Chop up a few nuts or chunks of chocolate to sprinkle on top, if you want to demo the Food Chopper. It makes my mouth water to think about it. That would easily serve 12 to 16 servings. I don't know how to make an attachment but if you want to send me your e-mail, I'll send you the Peachy Plantation Pizza recipe from Pg. 89 of Stoneware Sensations. I took a picture of it, and it had a Pillsbury Sugar Cookie base.
In Delightful Desserts, on pg. 24, we have a recipe for Peanutty Brownie Pizza. I'm not sure if you can get these recipes from the PC archive. Perhaps someone who knows how to do attachments on here, can help you.

 

[Grandmarita]

I may have figured out how to do an attachment. Hope this works.

 

[Grandmarita]

As you can see, it did not work. The attachment must have been too big.
Will someone help me? Tell me what I have to do so that the image I have
created from scanning the PC cookbook with the recipe, can be transmitted?

The Carmel Apple bread pudding is made in the new Covered Baker in the microwave and is delicious. But to save yourself from unwrapping all those carmels, try just using carmel icecream topping. This uses a lot of tools. Easy too!

 

[Chef susan]

I wanted to make this sooo bad for family reunion well the night before I'm at wal-mart and they don't have Johnathan or any baking apples or egg bread--i had already told family i was bringing-sooo disappointed--but i do want to try it--have u actually done it with ice cream caramel??!!

Let's see...You can "bake" dips such as Touchdown Dip Taco or Hot Pizza Dip in the micro.

The Chicken Clubhouse Squares (All the Best) would work well if you prepare the crust at home prior to the show (you could have the host reimburse you for the crescent rolls if you want). I did this at a show on a hot summer day when the host didn't have A/C. It worked out vey well. Oh, and I did a micro cake in the rice-cooker.

 

[kcjodih]

IMO, for an end of September show I would try to focus on the glazed stoneware for the host and guest specials and also on comfort type foods or something with apples. September and October make me think of fall (because it is LOL) and in our neck of the woods - APPLES!

So maybe mom's easy apple crisp in the deep dish baker which is cooked in the micro, or one of our wonderful dips in the micro as well. I know my director has taken many of our dip recipes and just done them completely in the micro with great results.

HTH,

Here's the apple crisp recipe...just use the apple wedgers and our wonderful knives if you have any to do the apples if you don't have the APCS. When I"ve made this I've doubled it in the deep dish baker and it still turns out great but this way there is more to go around. I find this original version to not make enough (not be deep enough, it only fills the baker about 1/3 full - too much work for SUCH a little yummy bit!)

Mom's Apple Crisp (All the Best Cookbook)


Ingredients:
4-6 Granny Smith apples
8 graham crackers (2 1/2 x 5 inches), finely chopped
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup quick or old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup butter or margarine, melted
Whipped cream or ice cream (optional)


Directions:
Peel, core and slice apples using Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer. Cut apples in half; place in Deep Dish Baker. Finely chop graham crackers using Food Chopper; place in Classic Batter Bowl. Add brown sugar, flour, oats, cinnamon and nutmeg; mix well. Place butter in Small Micro-Cooker®; microwave on HIGH 1 minute or until melted. Add butter; mix well.

Sprinkle graham cracker mixture evenly over apples. Microwave on HIGH 12-15 minutes or until apples are tender, rotating dish after 6 minutes. Cool slightly; serve warm topped with whipped cream or ice cream, if desired.

Jodi, that was so great of you to type out all those recipes. Thanks for
taking all the time. I had spent so much time trying to figure out how to do them as attachments, that I gave up and went to bed. I'm still looking for
someone to tell me. Perhaps they could PM it to me, unless others would like to know too.???

Actually thanks for giving me all the credit for typing but I really only went over to WLPCtoo and grabbed them there since they're so easy to find and then copied and pasted here.
