I am doing a small fundraiser event on Sunday.
Proceeds will go to their local community theatre.

I will do the Pampered Chef Show and another guy will be there from a local shop doing a cheese and olive oil tasting.
So far it's 15-25 people.
I can't decide what to demo:
Lemon Herb Chicken Ring (because I can do it in my sleep)
or
Asian Pork Noodle Skillet (to show off the cookware)
or something else that will pair well with the cheese and olive oil tasting.....decisions decisions....

ANY THOUGHTS?? ANY AND ALL SUGGESTIONS FOR DEMO IDEAS, SET-UP, ETC. ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!

THANKS!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
 
If you can do the ring in your sleep then I say the ring. Do what you are most familiar with.
 
I dont know - the asian skillet just doesnt seem to really go with cheese and olive oil. I'd do the ring - its yummy.

My other thoughts are the Grecian Party Squares or the Mediterranian Salad Pizza...or the Tomato Basil Squares. They would work too.

Thanks guys!
I think I'm going to do the ring - either the Turkey Cranberry Wreath or the Lemon Herb Chicken Ring.
I will also do a skillet cake to show off the cookware and I'm going to make some truffle balls and festive cranberry to show off as gift ideas!
 
:D

Hi there! It sounds like you have a great event planned for Sunday. I think both the Lemon Herb Chicken Ring and Asian Pork Noodle Skillet would be great options for your demo. If you're looking for something that pairs well with the cheese and olive oil tasting, you could also consider doing a bruschetta or crostini demo using our bread tube and stoneware. It's always a crowd-pleaser and can showcase the versatility of our products. As for set-up, I recommend having a designated cooking area with all your ingredients and tools easily accessible, and having some samples and catalogs available for guests to browse while you're cooking. Best of luck with your event, and thank you for supporting your local community theatre!
