Has anyone made a whole roasted chicken in the Fluted Pan before? I remember hearing about it before I became a consultant where you put the whole chicken on top of the center (put the chicken cavity over it) and place vegetables on the bottom. The juices from the chicken fall down and season the vegetables. Has anyone tried this and can offer some advice? Should I cover it for a portion of the time? I would imagine I would need to cook it for about an hour, keeping it covered with foil most of that time. Should I baste it? Please share how you cook whole chickens in the oven.

Thank you!
 
I have been wondering about this also. And doesn't the juice drip out of the hole in the fluted pan???

OHHHHHHHHH!!!! Now it all makes sense :p
I really need to get that fluted stone!!
 
I have heard about this but I don't think your suppsoed to cover the chicken.... though....
 
To make the chicken using the Fluted Pan, wash the bird, rub oil all over, sprinkle with the seasoning of your choice, plop the whole bird over the "post", cut up veggies in large chunks, place in bottom of pan. Bake at 350 F. for 1-1/2 for a 3 1/2 to 4 pound bird. Don't cover the bird.

Don't feel bad, I was thinking the same thing!!
 
What I do after placing the chicken on a platter is make and fill the cavity area with a stuffing, either homemade or box/bag type. I place the vegetable around the chicken. I might plop the bird too far down, because that is one ugly bird when I take it out of the pan. Tastes great, looks great in color, but cavity is just a little larger than regular pan roasting. But it is wonderful. I cooked one and had it at ashow and sold 10 out of 15 guests a fluted bundt pan.
 
All I can say is YUMMY!
I use to use my fluted pan before I got the new baker with lid! I stuck the bird cavity(hole) on the flute part then in the well around the stone I filled it with potatoes, carrots, onions, zuccini, and after washing the chicken, melted butter brushed it on with garlic and seasoned with herbs. Baked at 350 for 2 hours! YUMMS!!!!!! If you have a fluted piece you must try it!
 
I am so excited to get this pan with my stoneware incentive and try this chicken!
 
Another thing that is really yummy with this chicken is to zest a lemon, press some garlic and rub that under the skin. You will lose your mind, the house smells so good!!

Yes I need to try that one also! I've used the 8"saute pan and the mini baker next is the fluted pan!
 
At my show before I signed up, my director told me about the turkey on the Fluted Stoneware. I thought "wow, that's really cool. I need to buy that!!" But, I haven't used it for that yet. It's too busy doing the 10-minute microwave miracle cake at all my parties : ))))

The 10-minute microwave miracle cake sounds wonderful. Can we have the recipe please?
 
Purchase a box of cake mix, the ingredients for the cake (prepare as directed on the box) and a container of frosting. Use your kitchen spritzer and spritz the fluted Stoneware. Pour the cake mixture into the fluted stoneware. Open a container of frosting (I use 3/4 of the container --- with more, it's just a total mess when you invert it) and put it in the mixture.

Put fluted Stoneware into the microwave for 10 minutes on high. Let it cool for about 5-7 minutes. Invert on medium Simple Additions square.

People are amazed this cake is soooo good and moist, too.
 
I LOVE my fluted pan, and the chicken is awesome, however, I need help with the 12 minute cakes. I've only made one. When I inverted it onto a cake plate the cake on top was really soggy - is this normal? What did I do wrong?? I made a spice cake w/apple pie filling. I'd really like to try this again with a little more guidance.
 
yeah, i did mine in the rice cooker. I tried the lava cake with red velvet cake and cream cheese icing. i thought the icing was supposed to be like a lava cake and flow out. Instead the top of the cake was slimy and gooey. WHAT IS WRONG!

But i love the low fat cake...1 cake mix and 1 can of diet soda. mix just the two things together and put in greased rice cooker, cook 8-10 minutes. serve with fat free cool whip. YUMMY!

Amazing! I never thought of doing this! I can't wait to try it! Another thing about those cakes-- I'm having trouble getting them to come out with out falling apart-- I'm stressed 'cause a couple of my shows want to have them and decorate as pumpkins-- what do I need to do differently? I let them sit, let them cool until the sides pull away, but the top hasn't come out right-- I lose most of the top!

I use the pastry brush and brush the stone with vegetable oil (liquid) lightly before putting the cake mix in. I cook it for exactly 12 minutes in my microwave and when I take it out I only let it cool for 5 to 10 minutes in the stone before inverting it. Mine have all come out perfectly, (except one mishap at a show where the host microwave was too small to rotate the stone! Didn't work as well!!) :eek: Anyway, maybe you are letting it cool too long in the stone and that is causing it to stick?? Or maybe its the way you grease the stone?? I'm not sure but mine usually come out perfectly...hope I've helped.
 
I think you gave me the key... I did use the pastry brush to put oil on, but I heard to cook it for 15 min, then let it sit in the microwave for another 15 so it would finish cooking.... I will def. try what you told me-- I mixed the batter the way it said on the box-- not with the sour cream... does that make a difference? Would I do the same for the small fluted pan-- Could you do Cornish hens on the small fluted?
 
I got this on here a while ago. I've used a few of these recipes (the red raspberry, and chocolate cherry are big hits) and I use these exact instructions. Hope this helps...sorry so long...I don't know how to add as an attachment!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the benefits of roasting a whole chicken in a Fluted Pan?

Roasting a whole chicken in a Fluted Pan allows for even heat distribution, resulting in a perfectly cooked bird with crispy skin. The fluted design also helps to collect drippings, which can be used for making delicious gravies or sauces. Additionally, the pan's aesthetic appeal makes it great for serving directly at the table.

How long does it take to roast a whole chicken in a Fluted Pan?

The cooking time for roasting a whole chicken in a Fluted Pan typically ranges from 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the size of the chicken and the oven temperature. A general rule of thumb is to roast the chicken for about 20 minutes per pound at 375°F (190°C). Always use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Do I need to prepare the chicken in any special way before placing it in the Fluted Pan?

Yes, it's recommended to season the chicken with your choice of herbs, spices, and oil before placing it in the Fluted Pan. You can also stuff the cavity with aromatics like garlic, lemon, or herbs for added flavor. Make sure to pat the chicken dry to achieve crispy skin during roasting.

Can I use the Fluted Pan for other types of meat?

Absolutely! The Fluted Pan is versatile and can be used for roasting other types of meats such as pork, turkey, or even vegetables. Just adjust the cooking times accordingly based on the type and size of the meat you are roasting.

Is it easy to clean the Fluted Pan after roasting a chicken?

Yes, cleaning the Fluted Pan is relatively easy. After allowing it to cool, soak it in warm, soapy water to loosen any stuck-on bits. Most Fluted Pans are dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to maintain the pan's finish. Be sure to follow the manufacturer's care instructions for best results.
