Fun and Unique Ideas for a Co-Ed Battle of the Sexes Party

[ejuliano]

So I booked a party with a good friend of mine and we want to do a battle of the sexes. I looked around and all I saw around the same idea was for a bridal shower. I am trying to think of what to do w/o the bridal part.

I was thinking about having the guys do one recipe and the girls do another. Maybe if there are enough people, have them make the same thing and see who can do it faster. The only problem is that I don't have two of everything. Or I could have one group do something in the DCB and the other do something on the bar stone.

Anyone done a battle of the sexes before? Any ideas??

That's the whole point of a Battle of the Sexes or Amazing Race show: They have to steal the product they need from the other team!

You can do a skewed show where you give the ladies an easier recipe, and the guys a harder one. Or you could do a dessert and an entree, maybe a DCB and a Trifle recipe.

I think if you look in the files section under "Amazing Race" you might find what you are looking for. I had some files on it, but I think I saved them to disc to make room on my hard drive, and not being so organized like I wish I was, my discs are not labeled .

You could use the A/P/C/S with men vs women. I did this at a couples show and they had a blast. I had the host get 7 granny smith apples. I showed everyone how to use the A/P/C/S and then took the apple and used the apple wedger so it was ready to go into the rectangle baker for an apple crisp. Then I had 3 men, each doing 1 apple and timed them. Then the women. It was fun and then I had prizes for all who participated.

I'll have to keep that in mind. I don't have one of those. I still have a little over a week to figure out what I want to do...

Each team gets a mix of pc and non pc products. You could have them complete the same tasks...pc product vs. non pc product.

Hm...so maybe time each person doing something non PC and then PC?

So if they had to dice, have them do it with a knife, then w/ chopper? Or have the men use the knife and the women use the chopper??

Right. Have someone start with a non pc knife, then switch to one of ours ....they'd see the difference too.

Food Chopper vs. Knife - onions (mention no more tears w/ food chopper)
Salad Chopper vs. Knife - Tomatoes (mention that we have a tomato knife for those who prefer the traditional chopping)
Mandoline vs. Knife (or the crinkle cutter) - Potato or zuchinni (point out the even slices which means even cooking or fancy design with our mandoline)
Large Bar Pan vs. Anybrand Metal Cookie Sheet - Pizza (mention the even cooking and crispy crust)
Rotary Grater vs. Traditional - Cheese (mention easy clean up and less dishes)
Garlic Press vs. Another Method or non PC garlic press (easier, no peeling, no need to touch garlic)

Do a verbal comparison re: DCB Micro cooking vs Crockpot and Oven Cooking
Point out the cleaning process with our products vs others

Something like that.
