What RECIPES do you all suggest??
Since we are coming out with the Salad Spinner...I"m thinking Grill chicken and slice it (with Santoku of course!) to top the salad>...

And for those not wanting to hold the show out on the deck with the grill... use the Grill pan inside...
Any favorite salads?
 
The Colossal Chopped Salad has gone over GREAT every time I've done it. it would be really yummy with grilled chicken.
 
You could even do the aloha pizza on the grill, with a salad on the side!!
 
I would love to hear suggestions on this too. I have a Couples Grilling Show in May.

I'd love this host who wants the grilling show to have a couples show....

This group of ladies has had several shows... (April last year...September...Oct...Feb...March...--gonna have one again April...and then May...and July...) Love this group!! Trying to recruit one of them!!

But I think if they did a couples show...the men would "get it" and know why they keep coming back for more!
I'll have to work on that, and try to get the host to ok it.
She just had a new deck built...two story deck and a new grill...that's why she wants the grill show on her deck...But I think the men would love to join the thrill of the grill fun!!
 
Yes, I have always done the grilled pizza and people LOVE it that you can cook pizza right on the grill!
 
My host wants the men to do the cooking outside and then the women to be inside watching a demo of products and then come together in the end to put it all together.

I am going to let her husband use my grilling tools to grill. I figure that way all of them will be telling their wives to order them something!!!

Margarita Grilled Shrimp?...it's in the Grill recipe cards...I made them last night...super easy...
Shrimp is pink!!
I don't have the PC skewers... I have other metal ones we got years ago... but for the shows I could bring the bamboo cheapy ones and just talk about the PC one... Or should I bring my metal ones,and talk about how the metal heats up too cooking the food faster...???
Then I think a quick Salad...to show the spinner...
and a pink dessert...hmmm... I'm hungary!! it's noon and I haven't had breakfast!! ! ! !
Let me know your thoughts on the skewer situation...I don't know how it would look me bringing metal skewers that aren't PC>...
 
There's a Southwestern Layered Salad in the old Salads cards (I know I've seen it posted here someplace, too) that would be fantastic with grilled chicken.
 
Can someone tell me more about the pizza on the grill? I have never done this. Do you use a special crust? What toppings do you all use? Details please....

i just had someone else tell me they want to do a couples one on the patio.
 
If you decide to do the margarita shrimp, you may want to also grill some shrimp that you lightly baste with the basil oil and then rub with the citrus basil rub. They are great on a skewer.

How about demoing the trifle and salad items for the wives? That way you have entree, side and dessert!!
 
I was thinking you could grill the chicken for jerk chicken salad! Haven't tried it yet, but I've got it planned for a May 6 show!
 
Bumping this up again to see if anyone has had a Grilling Show lately that could share what they prepared????
 
I made chicken on my cool skewers last night. I've had them for a year and a half and haven't used them. I thought a "shishkebab bar" might be kind of fun, and you could use wooden skewers for additional ones. That way you could show the knives cutting up the peppers and tomatoes and onions and potatoes, and put them all in SA bowls and everyone could make their own!
 
I've got a "Patio Party" coming up - The host wants to grill. I"m giving grilled pizza some thought and also Jamaican Chicken Salad. Then I'm thinking about having the cold stone available for ice cream treats.
 
I am doing a sald at mine this weekend while the men grill outside. I am waiting on my host to let me know which salad she chooses. I am doing the Berries and Wontons for dessert. I will bake the wontons ahead of time and just fill them at the show.

The host is getting chicken to grill and vegetables to use for the skewers.

This will be my first grill show, so, I am nervouse about it.

There's another thread about it: freeze the large bar pan and use it as a base for mixing goodies into ice cream (like at Coldstone Creamery)

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some easy grill recipes to showcase at my May Pampered Chef show?

Some easy grill recipes you can showcase include grilled vegetable skewers, marinated chicken breasts, and shrimp tacos. These recipes are not only simple to prepare but also highlight the versatility of Pampered Chef grilling tools.

How can I incorporate Pampered Chef products into my grill recipes?

You can use Pampered Chef products like the Grill Pan, BBQ Turner, and the Marinade Injector to enhance your grilling experience. These tools help ensure even cooking, easy flipping, and flavorful marinades, making your dishes stand out.

What tips do you have for marinating meats before grilling?

For effective marinating, always allow your meats to marinate for at least 30 minutes, but ideally for several hours or overnight. Use a resealable bag or a shallow dish to ensure even coverage, and remember to discard any leftover marinade that has come into contact with raw meat.

How can I ensure my grilled food stays juicy and flavorful?

To keep your grilled food juicy, avoid overcooking by using a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Additionally, letting the meat rest for a few minutes after grilling allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful bite.

What are some side dishes that pair well with grilled foods?

Great side dishes to pair with grilled foods include grilled corn on the cob, a fresh garden salad, or a quinoa and vegetable salad. These options complement the smoky flavors of grilled meats and add a refreshing touch to your meal.
