I have a show next week at a campground, so obviously I won't be using a stove or oven. The host would like a dessert recipe. I can do my cookware talk, but is there anything else I can do?
 
The ice cube demo impressed my Thursday night crowd...
 
I don't understand the ice cube demo. Can someone explain it?
 
You just put an ice cube in the saute' pan (Or any other piece you have) and pass it around so that guests can feel that the sides are just as cold as the bottom. This simulates how our cookware evenly distributes heat so there are no hotspots. Try it with another brand & you will see that the bottom gets cold long before the sides do.
 
When I do the ice cube demo, I also put a cube in the prep bowl at the same time, and compare at the end. Yesterday, when I did my demo at Home office, they were amazed at the results. Eveidently they had never seen the cube demo, so I impressed even the "experts"!!!!
 
I take a old saute pan with me the same size as our saute pan and have a race between the two pans. I even give the old pan a head start and the PC pan still melts it quicker. I hold both of them at the same time swirling the cube around while I'm talking about how our pans are made etc. Everyone loves that.

My brownie stuck in the skillet the other day b/c it stayed in it too long, so, if you do one in the skillet make sure you turn it out no longer than about 5 or 10 minutes later. Or serve the cake in the skillet and then it won't matter. It did not really stick, it was more like it just sweated it the pan and did not want to come out for that.
