It is finally cool enough to turn the oven back on, well at least this week. What are some of your favorite recipes to make in the deep covered baker? I have tried the chicken recipe that comes on the product use card, and it was fantastic!

I have used it to do Baked Beef Stew - very good! also very good for a big pot of baked beans! the Caramel Apple Bread Pudding from last fall/winter SB can be done in the oven and I LOVE that!

what about Microwave recipes? I love that you can throw it in the microwave and cook things for less time!!
I know the Pork Tenderloin, but what about anything else?
 
I have a recipe that I make iin that is not a PC recipe .... I put country ribs in the deep dish baker lathered in BBQ sauce in the oven at 200 degrees at 9am and let them simmer all day long.... the meat falls off the bone and it is soooo yummie!!!!!!!!
 
Here's a question for all of you... if it weren't for that little knob on the lid, I could get the baker into my microwave. I've done the 30 minute chicken without a problem because you don't need the lid, but I want to make the pork recipes. Do you think I could use press 'n seal in place of the lid?
 
There were some old recipes floating around some of the loops (pre-CS) for the DDB/Baking Bowl combo or the Rectangular Baker/Lid combo that would work in the DCB. Plus the old Stoneware Sensations cookbooks had recipes for stew and chili that would probably work, too, although you'd probably have to play with the quantities to get them to fit.

Probably. It's worth a shot. But I'd use "regular" plastic wrap, just because I'd be afraid of what the glue would do when it got hot.

How do you make your beef stew? I usally make mine in the crock pot, but I think I might try it tomorrow in my covered baker. My sister will be in town and it is going to be in town and the high is only going to be 64 degrees! Sounds like a good day for comfort food. Oh and maybe the chocolate mocha cake in SB. :)

Where are you from? I am in Michigan, and the high today is going to be 64 too - I was thinking of a big pot of Chicken Chili!

Thanks for the recipe. :)
 
I just got my DCB last week and the first--and only, so far--recipe I tried was the micro Quick Turkey Chili and it is definitely a keeper....ou can call it my favorite!! I plan on doing this recipe for the rest of September, and probably throughout the Fall and Winter.

You-hoo! :balloon: I can help with this! I introduced Press 'n Seal to my area as part of a marketing gig I had!!! The worst thing that could happen--and that's a big maybe--is that you'd be left with a bit of sticky residue on the outside of the baker. But that does come off with some elbow effort and soap! What I will tell you is that prolonged moisture from the steam can weaken the "sealing" properties. So that after maybe 10 minutes of the strong steam working at it, you'd have leakage. KWIM? In other words, I think you need something stronger than Press 'n Seal to cook with the DCB.But if you still want to try it--I don't mind being corrected!!!!
 
I love using the DCB for scalloped potatoes and beef stew in the microwave. I just had to play with the time and liquid amounts to get it just right. (My first stab at the stew yielded dry meat that was a bit tough but was still tasty enough for me to eat it anyway!!!).

Thanks, Cath. I've had terrible luck with the glue from Press n Seal NOT coming off things, which is why I didn't recommend it. I'd hate to use it and end up with nasty sticky gunk on my stone. But that's cool to "know" someone who had something to do with it! :)
 
When it was first introduced, Glad knew people needed a little education on the product before use in order to use it properly. They hired folks like me across the country to introduce it at group events. I gave away TONS of Press 'n Seal! Remember "don't squeeze the Press 'n Seal" (or you'll stick the roll to itself!).Okay, back to regularly scheduled programming here....

Would you share your recipes??? :)
 
Jennifer, I would but I'm one of those "use what you got in stock" cooks that makes it up along the way. I basically modified the stew recipe that's in the list of recipes for DCB. For the scalloped potatoes, I used traditional recipes out there--you just gotta make sure you have enough liquid. Sorry!

I just did something similar today and my family loved it. I put mine in a 250 oven for 6-7 hours, then cover them with BBQ sauce and bake for 30 more minutes. The meat fell off the bones and was so good. Got this recipe from a lady in McDonald's. I believe it is the only way to cook ribs!!!
 
I'm abrand new consultant who just passed my 30 day aniversary. I'm looking for the Smashed Potato Soup and any other soups you might have. Can you helpwith some recipes? Thanks!!:confused:

Ditto!!! I've already made them several times! Brought the leftovers to work the next day!!! I was very popular that day! :D
 
I really liked the BBQ chicken sandwiches. So easy and delicious too.
 
is the stew in the dcb file? I will have to check
 
What if you turned the lid upside down and cooked it that way in the microwave? Would that work? I thought I read somewhere that someone did that...

As for potato soup recipe it's on CC under Season's Best for F/W 09
 
I love this recipe, have yet to do any dinner recipes in it. Probably this week though

Quick Apple Crisp
5 Granny Smith apples
1 package (9 ounces) yellow cake mix
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
1/2 cup chopped nuts
Vanilla ice cream or thawed, frozen whipped topping (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel, core and slice apples using Apple Peeler/Corer/Slicer. Cut apples in half. Place apples in Deep Dish Baker. Combine cake mix, sugar, cinnamon, butter and nuts in bowl. Mix until crumbly. Sprinkle mixture evenly over apples. Bake 35-40 minutes or until apples are tender. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped topping.
