I am doing a 30 minute meal show next month and I was actually wondering if any of you had any other ideas.
I am going to make tea in the microwave, then transfer to the QSP and add ice.
Then make the 30 min chicken in the CDB. While that is cooking make the salad for the Collosol Chicken Salad or even something I feel like throwing together, then while I am taking orders, I will make a desert in the microwave.
I need a recipe for a microwavable desert.
Any other ideas would be great too!
This is the invite I am mailing out:

no, but might be able to borrow one.
Recipe?
 
I love to demo the German Chocolate cake (11-12 min.) in the fluted pan (stoneware). It is a great one to get those ooh's and ahh's when you flip it over! It is way easy to make as well. Just follow the directions for mixing the cake on the box. Grease the pan. Pour the frosting in the well first, then pour the cake batter over it and pop it in the micro. mmmm.
 
I made the cherry chocolate cake the other night in the stoneware fluted pan to rave reviews.

Mix:
1 can cherry pie filling
3 eggs (lightly beaten)

Add chocolate cake mix and mix well.

Pour into stoneware fluted pan, and microwave on high for 13 minutes.

If the microwave does not have a turntable, make sure you turn it halfway through.

Flip onto plate and serve with cool whip if desired.

Very easy and impressive.

YUMMY!!!!
 
By the way, I like your invite.
 
Reese's 12-Minute CakeI made the Reese's cake in the Fluted Pan at one of my March shows and it was a huge hit! :)

REESE'S 12-MINUTE CAKE

1 box chocolate cake mix (plus ingredients to make it)
10 regular size peanut butter cups
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup chocolate frosting

Combine cake mix with ingredients; mix thoroughly. Pour 3/4 batter into the Stoneware Fluted Pan (you don't have to grease the pan). Chop up the peanut butter cups and sprinkle on top. Pour remaining batter into the pan. Microwave 12 minutes. Cool 10 minutes in pan, then invert onto serving platter. Melt chocolate frosting and drizzle on top. Melt peanut butter and drizzle over chocolate frosting. Cut and serve.

Yum!!! Man I wish I had saw this before I went to the grocery store tonight... or maybe I don't as I probably would have ate the whole thing! I think this will be a new recipe for a chocoholics show!! Thanks Christy!

I don't have the fluted pan.
I have the 9" round, DCB, Large Rounds & Lg Bar.
I think I need to invest in a Fluted!

Love these recipes by the way!!!
The Cherry one would be great for my town! I live in "Cherry Valley". and yes we do have the cherry trees :D

OK, she has the small micro cooker. What can I make in that, or I have the 9" round.
 
Warm Chocolate Hazelnut Cake from Fall/Winter season's best is awesome.
