Hello,

I have an upcoming afternoon show and am looking for recipe ideas that is easy to make at a show but will have everyone wanting stoneware (since it's the guest special)

I am still a new consultant and my biggest struggle is finding recipes that work nicely at shows.

Thanks so much,
Julie
 
The ones PC suggests are awesome: 3 cheese garden pizza, the california club, ham and cheese brunch squares, spinach carbonara pizza and the Ham and cheese calzone are all easy and yummy demos.
 
Welcome to PC! It's a lot of fun. This site is such a great resource. It can be quite overwhelming when you are beginning. I think that the 3 Cheese Garden Pizza (it's one of the "New Consultant" recipes that should've come w/ your kit, or you can find it on Consultant Connection) is really good. It's always well loved by guests and utilizes so many of the products that came with your kit.Another one that I've done at shows and people really like, is the Spinach Carbonara Pizza. One thing you can do is go to "search" and type in the name of a recipe. A list will come up with lots of "threads." Then you can read through them and learn some tips that others have shared. As everyone tries recipes and does them at shows, a lot of times they end up posting about their experience.
 
the spinach carbonara pizza is one of my favorites and is super easy! it uses the large bar pan. I've been getting rave reviews over it..have sold a ton of bar pans and have had a ton of people ask for the recipe!
 
I highly recommend the starter recipes that PC recommends. 3 cheese garden and the california club. They are awesome and basic. The spinach carbonara is good too but I do not think it suits a wide variety of tastes.
 
If you're just starting out, go for the 3 cheese garden pizza - everyone just loves it, and since you get all the resources for doing that in your show, it takes some of the stress off. I sold a number of large bar pans when I did that one...

Hi Julie,

I completely understand your struggle with finding stoneware recipes for your shows. As a fellow pampered chef consultant, I have found that the best recipes to showcase our stoneware are the ones that are simple yet delicious. One of my go-to recipes for shows is the classic chicken and vegetables in the deep covered baker. It's easy to prepare, versatile, and always a hit with guests. Another great option is the stoneware pizza stone, which can be used to make a variety of flatbreads, pizzas, and even desserts. Don't be afraid to get creative and try new recipes with our stoneware, your guests will be amazed at the results. Best of luck with your show!

Happy cooking,
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some popular stoneware recipes for beginners?

Some popular stoneware recipes for beginners include roasted vegetables, baked casseroles, and pizza. These dishes are easy to prepare and benefit from the even heat distribution of stoneware, resulting in deliciously cooked meals.

Can I use my stoneware for baking desserts?

Absolutely! Stoneware is great for baking desserts such as brownies, cookies, and fruit crisps. The stoneware retains heat well, which helps create a nice, even bake and a crispy crust.

How do I care for my stoneware after cooking?

After cooking, allow your stoneware to cool completely before washing. Avoid using harsh detergents or soaking it for long periods. Instead, use warm water and a gentle scrubber to clean it. For tough stains, you can use a paste of baking soda and water.

Are there any special tips for cooking with stoneware?

Yes! Preheat your stoneware before adding food to ensure even cooking. Also, avoid drastic temperature changes, such as placing a hot stoneware dish directly into cold water, as this can cause cracking. Finally, use parchment paper or a light coating of oil for easier food release.

Where can I find more stoneware recipes?

You can find more stoneware recipes in Pampered Chef cookbooks, on their official website, or through various cooking blogs and social media platforms. Many home cooks also share their favorite stoneware recipes in online communities and forums.
