I just thought I would give my own Prep Bowl recipe that I give at my shows. Divide a can of cherry or apple pie filling among the prep bowls (you may need 2 cans if you're using all 6 bowls). Top each one with a Pillsbury biscuit that has been slightly flattened. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and bake according to the directions on the biscuit can. Individual cobblers for everyone!

that is a great tip. I will for sure use it at home and it will be great for a small show.

No Microwave?Does anyone know if the omelette would work in a toaster oven? I dont have a microwave??

thanks

 

[luvs2sellit]

It would end up being more like a quiche. It would also take alot longer to bake. Like around 30min

I would love to know because before I was a consultant my first PC purchase was batter bowl to make the barbie cake [I've now made 3 of them!] and now I have a daughter....well, I will need to make her one and I figured that I will make a queen and her court or something.


I also call the prep bowls my food network bowls....as I dump stuff out of them as I'm demo-ing the recipe.

Oh I want to do this for my daughter as well! We call her our princess so I want to make her the princess and then use the prep bowls to make lady in waiting cupcakes for the other toddler girls that will be there. Would love suggestions on where to buy the smaller sized dolls for the prep bowl cakes!

And I love all the other ideas I've read also!
Thanks

I made the doll cake for a bridal show. I made a ladybug mama cake with the small bowl and used the prep bowls to make baby ladybugs. I also used the prep bowls to make a caterpillar cake. It was great and so much fun!! I use my bowls everyday. I microwave Velveeta and rotel for great nachos in the Batter bowls large or small, and store leftovers with the convenient lids.
I use the prep bowls to store leftover tomatoe sauce that I hate to throw away from the 8oz cans. Also I love to use the prep bowls for easy viewing of ingredients I am using at my show, and yes I pre shred or pre chop alot of things before the show.

My cool prep bowl idea, is great for the Easter Holiday Season. I must say it was an original thought, but I'm sure others have thought of the same thing. after greasing and flouring all 6 prep bowls, fill eac one 2/3 full with a prepared cake mix. Bake. after turning out little cakes and cooling, secure two cakes together wide mouth edges together with some icing and then decorate the entire cake as individual Easter egg cakes! Decorate as you wish!

Sonya-
I thought about doing little doll cakes with the prep bowls, too, and my thought for the doll would be little Polly Pockets. I think those would be the perfect size (maybe?).
Thanks,
Amy

You know that they now have a pilsbury shortbread that looks just like their biscuit dough. I bet that would make a great cobbler, or indv. strawberry shortcakes.

Specifics, please...

Do you mean in a tube by the biscuits and crescent rolls? What am I supposed to look for when I go for these. This sounds like the solution I've been looking for to make my "Little Cups of Heaven" recipe into cheesecakes...didn't like sugar cookie dough!

Thanks!

Last year for HWC my recruiter made "boob" cakes!!! She made individual cakes in the prep bowls and then tinted the icing to be flesh tone and cut marichino cherries in half for the nips. They were so funny looking!!!

 

[Liddy98]

Yes I saw it in Safeway right by the crescent rolls, and refrigerator biscuits. Yummy...Also I love the shortcake recipe on the back of the bisquick box...it is awesome!

Just looking through this subject and thought I'd add the idea I did for my grandson's birthday. He loves sports. So I took the prep bowls and did the egg shape like for the Easter eggs. Only I used brown frosting and a star tip for decorating and then made them look like little footballs with the hash marks on the side in white frosting. I used the small batter bowl and did a big football for on the main cake and then had little footballs for each of his brothers and his cousins that were at his party. Everyone seemed to like it and each child had a cake of their own!

That is such a great idea!!! I can't wait to make a cherry or apple cobbler for my 4 year old niece. She loves her fruit. A scoop of vanilla ice cream would certainly be a nice topping. Thanks again.

 

[AJPratt]

I have got to try this! I keep seeing it!

 

[ChefBurke]

YUM!!! Gonna try this!

 

[ItalianChef]

I need to Try this one as well. Flaten out the biscut using the Meat Tenderizer. That is one of my favorit items besides the stone, the chopper, etc.
LOL

 

[jwpamp]

did you guys see the new Cooking for Two Cookbook? There is an awesome Chocolate Recpe for the Prep Bowls....YUM!

I saw that recipe! I have a couple sets of the prep bowls - I was thinking I could even do these for Chocolate Shows! They look soooo good!

I did the footballs in the prep bowls, but I used meatloaf and made them for a superbowl party. They were a big hit! I used rice for the "strings". I love my prep bowls for dyeing easter eggs and making custards too.

That might work. Maybe a Kelly doll, or one of the newer mini Barbies. Let us know which one works if you try it. I'm thinking of doing this for my Little Princess's birthday.

Another idea that I mention at my shows is turning the prep bowls upside down, spray them with non-stick cooking spray and then spread frozen bread dough over the tops of them and back for small bread bowls that you can use for salads, soups, or chilis. These are always a hit in the Fall and Winter months. They make just the right size without having a lot of bread left over once the salad and chili are gone.

 

[Momma23boys]

Oh my gosh, such good ideas!!! You could also use them to make flan or any of those baked custard desserts.. I want to try mini molten lava cakes in them!!

 

[JoyfulChef]

WOW -- you guys are so SMART and imaginative! I'm impressed!

 

[MandyK]

This thread is one of the many reasons I LOVE THIS WEBSITE!

 

[AJPratt]

So, I used them for a show for the first time. All I can say is WOW!!! I put all the ingredients in them, and it made prep for the show soooo easy. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these!

 

[Chef Kearns]

Okay...try this one-liner out at your next shows. Of course you've got to call the Classic and Sm Batter Bowls the Big Daddy and Mommy bowls.

What happens when you leave your Classic and Small Batter Bowls in the cupboard too long? They have babies!! Then show the Prep Bowls.

Kinda corny, but everyone laughs! Good times, good times.

Prep bowl ideas, cont.Last Christmas I had 18 people for dinner and didn't want to use my oven for dessert since I had so much other stuff to make, so I did individual bread puddings in the prep bowls for everyone--you need to set them in a water bath so I used the roasting pan--did it after presents but before I put the ham in, everyone LOVED them. How easy--bread pudding. I soaked the bread in eggnog, then sprinkled a little cinnamon and sugar and nutmeg over the top and baked for about 20 minutes.
