Have you tried the microwave rib recipe from Pampered Chef yet?

[dollfangs]

Holy cow!! I did the rib recipe in the microwave that they sent out yesterday and I sold 2 deep covered bakers. There were only 5 guest and 2 of them had to have the baker and didn't care that it was 65 dollars. I will be doing this recipe again.

Excellent! Did you also use the grill pan? I love my DCB--but haven't sold a single one. I can't wait to try the rib recipe!

Melissa,Thanks for sharing. That is awesome! I'm getting the baker this month and I will have to try this one.

 

[GourmetGirl]

Thanks for the feeback Melissa... I was kind of skeptical of the recipe, but all it takes is a cheffer or two to endorse it and I am sold (and hopefully some dcbs will be too!!!)

Really? you haven't sold even one?.......Have you tried doing the 30 Minute Chicken at a show? I sell at least one per show, and have 12 Cooking Shows for Oct. because I do the 30 minute chicken at my shows........you should try it!

I have sold at least one per show since I started doing the pork tenderloin in the microwave and got Oct bookings for those who wanted it but couldn't afford it

People also love the turkey chili recipe - I've done that a a couple of shows. I have also done the recipe that comes with it: Smothered Chicken & Garlic. It was amazing - don't be at all intimidated by 40 cloves of garlic!

Yes I used the grill pan too. They were all impressed that nothing stuck to it but they wanted the baker really bad. One reason is that they asked a few questions about does it have to be the PC grill pan or will any grill pan work. I was honest and told them any pan would work. When they asked if there was another way to do the stuff in the microwave, I was honest again and told them not that I know of as the covered baker keeps the steam in. Oh yeah and I messed up on the ribs because I forgot to put the water in. :blushing:

Melissa~

So...how did the ribs come out? I really like mine tender and falling off of the bone. I haven't tested this recipe yet, so I am curious how soft they were?

 

[dollfangs]

They were soft. I didn't try any but when I was taking them up, the meat was falling off

 

[missyciccolella]

Good to know...I guess I'll try it out on the family this week sometime!

 

[ginamkiely]

i'm making these tonight... i can't wait to try them. i'll let you know the outcome!

I guess I have to! With so many other themes offered, I just haven't done the 30-minute chicken one! I do mention that I do beef stew in the DCB in about 20-25 minutes.

Thats awesome to know, I love my DCB and am very anxious to try the ribs! Thanks for sharing!

 

[KellyTheChef]

My ribs are in the micro right now...can't wait to try them!

 

[Carissidy]

Yummy Kelly... it's too bad you live so far away, I'd be over for dinner

So would you recommend the DDB for your first purchase or the 12" skillet?

Dena,

I would get the 12" skillet if I were you because of the Pan-o-rama and host special in September. YOU can host a catalog show ($150 in guest sales and you get that pan for $80!). And then get the Deep Covered Baker in October for 60% off by doing the same.

When you call people ask if they want to start their own business, then if they will help you out by having a show, then wouldn't they want to see the catalog and place an order ( ~ that's how you get those orders to put together for those catalog shows).

I made the ribs and I have to say, being that ribs are my favorite thing to eat, I wasn't that impressed. They were GOOD, not great. The meat didn't fall off the bone, it was actually quite hard to get off, and that's the best thing about ribs. I will make them again once in a blue moon at home, but I won't be doing them at a show. just my opinion....

Maybe a little more time or higher temp would have helped?

I know when I have a favorite dish new recipes never are as good!

 

[KellyTheChef]

Gina I agree with you (as does my hubby) but I think we only really like ribs at a RIB restaurant...you know, with the meat totally falling off of the bone, and you can eat ALL of the stuff aside from the bone!

But, there are a few things I will mention:
1. I did some on the grill pan, and some on my real grill. I liked the flavor of the ones off of my REAL GRILL better. Grill pan would be a #2 choice, like in the winter when it's too cold to grill.

2. Next time, I will cook them a little longer and hopefully they will be more likely to fall off of the bone.

3. I am going to try a different place to BUY my ribs. I just got the ones from Wal Mart (baby back) and I really think the actual ribs themselves make a big difference. I'm gonna try at a meat market instead of a supermarket next time.

Just made these tonight, too, and DH LOVED them - and he LOVES his ribs!! They weren't "fall of the bone" tender, but that might have been the baby backs we used like Kelly said. I just got some at my local grocery store, but my mom goes to a butcher and I might be able to get some better ones from her.

The sauce was delicious, and DH loved how it really stuck to the meat like a real BBQ sauce does. I was impressed with how easy it was to make a yummy dinner - 30 min. in the kitchen from beginning to end, including cutting off that skin/fat underneath!! Def. a good meal for a night when you need something quick and yummy.

Oh, and I made the whole dinner in the micro tonight - steamed broccoli and corn in the micro cookers, too! I used the grill pan to grill them - next time I'll have to try the outdoor grill to see if there is any difference. I definitely recommend them as a recipe to give to someone who buys the DCB and/or the grill pan, though - they'll love this, esp. if they like to make quick, yummy meals in 30 min!!
