The noodle skillet is FANTASTIC! I made it for dinner the other night with chicken instead of pork. YUM!! In the future, I'll increase the amount of carrot in it, though. and maybe add some fresh garlic and ginger. And water chestnuts.

 

[pamperedtracy]

We sampled the Jerk Chicken Nachos at our cluster meeting. Very Good!!!Anyone have that yet? Those brownies are amazing. We sampled those too. Sin in a pan!! Awesome!!!

Thanks,
Tracy

 

[chefann]

I'm making the brownies for a party I'm hosting Friday. And maybe the brie, too. BTW- there are many other recipes that fit the themes in the SBRC. There are 3 separate variations on the Brie, and all of the desserts are chocolate.

 

[chefann]

The noodle skillet recipe was designed to show off the Stainless cookware. Because it's NOT non-stick, there will be all sorts of yummy browned bits (known as fond) in the bottom of the pan. Deglazing with water will lift those, so they become part of the sauce.

So go out there and sell cookware so you can get the 12" Stainless pan in the Pan-o-Rama!

I am so excited about the recipes this season.

garlic pressed with garlic press
ginger grated on microplane
drain water chestnuts in colander/bowl set or with can strainer

And open the water chestnuts with the Can opener.

I also think it would be fantastic with some grilled pineapple in it. Or with some fresh bean sprouts tossed on top, like on Pad Thai at a Thai restaurant.

 

[etteluap70PC]

I am so excited about these new recipes! I actually did the presentation at my cluster mtg on Monday.

Another cool thing is there will be 6 additional recipes to support each theme and they will be in the SBRC!

Also I seem to remember them saying that the test kitchens have worked to keep the ingredient lists to 9 items or less!

How cool is that!

OF COURSE it would be fantastic with grilled pineapple!

 

[chefann]

Are you picking on my recent pineapple fetish?

Hello, Kettle? This is the pot. You're black.

 

[Chef Endora]

Thank you Ann!!!

 

[missydivine]

Yummy! Can't wait to try them!

 

[janel kelly]

I'm having a brain fart right now but what do you use for the chocolate covered caramels (brand name?) I can't think of what candy they are.

 

[chefann]

Rolos


stupid length....

 

[KellyTheChef]

As for the Rollos...if you get them in the small (candy bar size) packs, you don't have to unwrap 40 of them....if you get them in a bulk bag- you will have to unwrap. That's why the test kitchens call for 5 of the small packages...

 

[KellyTheChef]

Molten mini cakes- cook to center temp of 160. If you cook till "done" they won't be molten, but you will have some yummy cupcakes!

(from the test kitchens cook!)

 

[KellyTheChef]

Standard Cake mixes and "old" PC recipes for our nonstick cookware are NOT made to work in the new stainless.

If you want to bake a standard cake mix in our stainless, prepare it like you would an old fashioned cake pan: butter all over, then coat with flour or cocoa powder. Using cocoa powder for a chocolate cake is better than flour- that way you don't see the white flour all over your cake!

 

[KellyTheChef]

Sin full brownie recipe:

brown sugar adds chewiness and flavor
use "cake like" version when mixing up the brownies
DON'T use "pumped up" versions of brownie mixes- otherwise it's just too much (....uh,....is that even possible?!?! LOL)
Can substitute mini reese's cups for rolos...
Cut with clean wet knife to make it easier

 

[KellyTheChef]

Asian Pork Noodle Skillet

Marla's family LOVES this and has it all of the time!
make sure you buy TOASTED sesame oil- it has more flavor than a light sesame oil

 

[KellyTheChef]

Ham-n-Cheese Brunch Squares

Use the mix-n-chop to break up the thawed hashbrown squares (shows another product)

Use the eggs at room temp- they will mix in easier and cook faster and more evenly.

If you get your ham at the deli counter, have them cut you a slice that is one quarter of an inch thick.

Mix up this recipe as you like!

Diff meats: sausage, bacon, chorizo, etc.
Diff veggies!

 

[KellyTheChef]

All of these recipe that I am talking about above will be in our SB cookbook.

All of the tips came from Test Kitchens Cook!

I made this with boneless chicken breasts at home the other day - worked quite well and was very tasty! It's a less expensive alternative than pork, or good for people who don't eat pork for various reasons.

Although, I'd probably use 3 or even 4 carrots. There just wasn't enough vegetation in it.

 

[Christ Follower]

I wonder if they will have a variation of the Brie app. using cream cheese? Brie cheese (especially that huge chunk) get's pretty pricey!

 

[chefann]

You could do that anyway, although I'd put it on some sort of dough to keep it from getting too melty (that's my word and I'm sticking to it!) all over the stone.

 

[PCGINA]

I agree with Ann ~


I used chicken and added more carrots and I also added snow pea pods

YUM!! My DH loves it and HE has made it three times in the past 10 days. Hope he gets tired of it soon.

The Choco Brownies are to die for.

The bire is delish...

I have also GAINED 4 pounds after returning from conference ~ YIKES!!

 

[cathyskitchen]

Which one of these was the recipe that was being talked about "cryptically" earlier this week, that used one of the new pantry items sprinkled on it? Someone mentioned it was a recipe demo done at conference on the last day and when they tried it at home it was incredible. I'd love to see that one, too!! TIA

 

[pamperedlinda]

...............make sure you buy TOASTED sesame oil- it has more flavor than a light sesame oil

What's the difference in Toasted Sesame Oil & Pure Sesame Oil? Anyone know? ...Yoo Hoo.....Anne?

I used Pure Sesame Oil last night and it tasted great.

That's what happens when we have new yummy recipes to try. I have to get back on the treadmill.

On the outside package of the new cinnamon & caramel sprinkles is a recipe for cinnamon rolls. I'll be trying them on Saturday--that's our Cinnamon Roll day!

Oh, how awesome is that?! Customers will love that too, I'm sure!! Now I'm brainstorming ideas for Sunday brunch shows!!

 

[momoftwins]

Ann - when you made the dinner with chicken breasts - how many did you use??????????? I am thinking of making it this weekend. Thanks!!!!

BTW - I made the brownies and brie last night for my Discovery Toy party and they were both a hit! Those brownies are to die for! I can't wait to get the new SB!!!!!!!!!! August 1st can't come soon enough!

 

[Cindycooks]

I'm making those nachos for supper - its just DH and I tonight & I know he will love them!

On the noodle skillet, I have been making something like this for years - but I use 1 lb of hamburger. For those of you with little kids, my girls LOVED this when they were little, and it was a great way to get them to eat their veggies. I just used the seasoning packets from the Ramen noodles. I can't wait to try this more grown up version!

 

[chefann]

What's the difference in Toasted Sesame Oil & Pure Sesame Oil? Anyone know? ...Yoo Hoo.....Anne?

I used Pure Sesame Oil last night and it tasted great.

Toasted would have a deeper, nuttier flavor. Like the difference between raw almonds and toasted almonds.

I used 3, but probably should have used 4 or even 5 based on total weight. It calls for 2 lbs. of pork, so if you figure 6 oz. breasts, that's about 5. (I used the last 3 I had in the house.)

Did you make this in the executive or nonstick? My oldest has stainless but I just bought the exec for myself and am NOT interested in any additional cookware right now.

I knew you'd come through for me. Thanks Ann!

 

[chefrosalie]

can someone explain exactly what the new "sprinkles" are and for what they are used? thanks!

 

[DanaK]

Delicious!Thanks for posting these-I can't wait to try them out!!!!

 

[KellyTheChef]

Oh my goodness!!

I just made the Asian Pork Noodle Skillet.
No wonder I heard that Marla and her family have this almost weekly!
This is HANDS DOWN my favorite "main dish" from PC. Ever.

Some changes/notes:

I didn't notice it took green onions so I didn't get them today at the store. So, I just left them out.
I don't own the julianne peeler yet, so I purchased a bag of shredded carrots (10 oz.) and I used half of them. That ended up being a very FULL one cup measure of carrots.
Plus, I could only find packages of pork tenderloin that were way more than two pounds. Mine was 2.3 #'s (actually the smallest package they had) so I cut it ALL up and froze half of it to use when I make this again. We have a family of two adults, a 12 year old, and a 2 year old and this made PLENTY...with leftovers. You can easily streach the meat like I did and use less than what the recipe calls for.

BTW, my two year old CLEANED HIS PLATE!!

 

[KellyTheChef]

Did you make this in the executive or nonstick? My oldest has stainless but I just bought the exec for myself and am NOT interested in any additional cookware right now.

I made it in my Professional Family Skillet....don't own the Executive Family Skillet.

I may even offer this as a demo recipe beginning in August so I can sell more cookware....it just doesn't carmelize the meat quite as much as it will in the stainless pan.

 

[KellyTheChef]

can someone explain exactly what the new "sprinkles" are and for what they are used? thanks!

Sweet Cinnamon Sprinkles- think muffin topping...large grain sugar, cinnamon, crunchies and a bit of coconut taste.

Sweet Caramel Sprinkles- think muffin topping...large grain sugar, caramel flavors, crunchies and a hint of almond taste.

Hope that helps!

You can use them in recipes, on ice cream, over oatmeal or yogurt, in coffee or hot chocolate...what ever your heart desires!

 

[kaceyleigh2]

We got to try the Brownies, the Brie and the Jerk-Chicken Nachos at our Cluster Meeting on Monday and all I can say is OH BABY!!!
They were soo good!! I cannot wait make them at home! We all got recipe cards too...then my son ate them. Yes, the cards. He chewed them and ripped them and they are no longer legible. If he wasn't only 13 months, I'd ground him...FOREVER!
