That's why I do it with the lid off (the original recipe calls for the lid off) - then the skin is more like a chicken roasted in the oven. I tell them they can buy a chicken in the deli for $7-$8, or they can do their own at home for less than $4, and have the same results!and - it's always incredibly moist and tender. The secret is to cover it and let it sit for 5-10 minutes when you take it out of the microwave.chefjeanine said:

The DCB, or Deep Covered Baker, is a versatile stoneware product that allows for various cooking methods, including baking, roasting, and steaming. Its popularity among Pampered Chef consultants stems from its ability to create healthy, delicious meals quickly and its ease of use, making it a favorite among home cooks.
Start by sharing your personal experiences with the DCB, including recipes you've tried and the benefits you've noticed. Utilize social media platforms to showcase your cooking results, host virtual cooking demonstrations, and engage with your audience. Building a community around your cooking can help generate interest and sales.
Pampered Chef provides a wealth of resources for new consultants, including training materials, webinars, and a supportive community of fellow consultants. You can also access recipe guides, product information, and marketing tools through the Pampered Chef website to help you become more knowledgeable and confident in selling the DCB.
Start by approaching your friends and family as a way to share something you love rather than as a sales pitch. Host a casual gathering or cooking demonstration where they can see the DCB in action. Focus on the benefits and enjoyment of cooking together, which can help ease any pressure you feel about selling.
Consider offering special promotions or discounts for first-time buyers, creating bundles with other Pampered Chef products, and encouraging customer referrals. Building relationships with your customers and following up with them after their purchase can also lead to repeat sales and word-of-mouth referrals, increasing your overall sales of the DCB.
