Is Quick Power Cooking for Show Guests Feasible?
Click For Summary
Quick Power Cooking shows are feasible and can be efficiently executed within a manageable timeframe. Participants can prepare dishes like Broccoli & Chicken Stir Fry using pre-cooked chicken in the DCB (Deep Covered Baker) and a microwave. This method allows for interactive engagement while demonstrating the effectiveness of the DCB in maintaining heat. Successful shows can be completed in as little as 45 minutes by organizing guests into stations for ingredient preparation.

Home chefs, cooking show hosts, and culinary consultants looking to optimize their Power Cooking demonstrations and engage guests effectively.
For timeliness, for each show, I cooked the chicken in the DCB at my house and transported it to the hosts house. When the guests showed up, I put a duplicate chicken in the microwave and cooked it while I talked about my business, the interactive show concept, and mentioned other products, etc
Also, while the second chicken is cooking, it gave the guests time to sample how moist and delicious a microwaved bird can be. After the nibbles, I took off some of the chicken and let the guests make the Broccoli & Chicken Stir Fry. As that dish is completed, the second chicken is done. We all nibble on the second bird, too.
Doing it this way gives me a chance to demonstrate how easy the chicken is to make, showcases the DCB in the microwave, lets guests see how well the DCB maintains heat to keep the chicken nice and hot, and so forth.
I'd be interested in hearing how other consultants do a Power Cooking show, too.
