Trying not to reinvent the wheel, since I didn't start getting ready for my show tomorrow in time! Has anyone made labels (maybe 2x3 shipping label size) for the Power Cooking-Chicken, that has "finishing instructions" for the freezer meals? The few times I did "super suppers" they had labels that went on the containers so you weren't fishing around for a recipe when it was time to cook the meals. Thought this would be helpful. Wondering if anyone has created these. Tried to search and came up empty.

Off to make my guest folders. Will check back later! TIA!
:indif:
 
Great idea! I'll have to check back for this.
 
Awesome tip, but unfortunately, I don't have them. If I had a word document that would let me do labels I'd make them up for you, but I can't, sorry!

I use Appleworks to do most of my labels, so if I do get them done (went without today) I wouldn't be able to easily share. When my life slows down (HA--) I'll work on them and see if I can get them done and in Word (although I hate using MS if I don't have to!!) But in order to share something since I've taken so much off of this board, I guess I'm willing to put myself through that pain! : )
 
I just have the host write the instructions on the bag with a permanent marker.Robin
 
LOL - Don't know why I hadn't thought of this! In my previous career, I was a personal chef, and that is exactly what I did - I'd make 10 meals at a time, and package everything for the refrigerator and freezer. Reheating/Cooking instructions were on all the containers on 2x4 labels!

I need to make these up for my Power Cooking Shows!
