What are some must-have items for a successful cooking show?

[mandy412]

To all the seasoned consultants out there, I'm wondering what you consider your must have things to take to a cooking show. I know the DCB is probably on that list but what else makes a big impact? Thanks!


T-4 to my first cooking show!

I take my DCB, my utility knife, chopper, 12" skillet, prep bowls, TTA w/ gadgets. Those are must haves for me.

santuko knives, food chopper, mix & chop, small bowls & caddy, couple of pcs of stoneware, and pantry items

Besides what's been mentioned, I would say the salad spinner if the recipie TRULY calls for it ... and the cutting board with measuring cups for sure!

I always try to take the next month or two specials if I have them and one of each of the top items stoneware piece skillet dcb etc..

Don't feel like a dope! It's the deep covered baker. I'm new too so I'm learning everyone's acronyms!

I would look at the recipes you really want to do, and make a list of what you don't have to do those.

For me, I always take the SS Bowl Set (much lighter than the batter bowls) the easy read measuring cups (full set) because just about anything I need melted in the micro I can do in one of those, the mix n chop, the DCB, and my TTA packed full. Also, the 5" Santuko, and the Large grooved cutting board. Cookbooks are good to have, I sell a lot of those because I always pass them around.
Personally, I don't even own a cutting board w/ measuring cups. I don't sell them either - if something happens to one of the cups, and it's out of warranty, then the customer is out of luck, because those aren't on replacement parts. I've had that happen 3 times in the past couple of months.

Salad Choppers, Tool Turn About (to hold your goodies), Mix N Chop, Simple Additions Large Round Platter to start....


then follow with (in no particular order)...micro cooker, smooth edge can opener, chef's tongs, trifle bowl, 5 in santoku...large bamboo platter, large grooved cutting board...

Try and collect at least one additional item from each group (outdoor, simple additions,bamboo, cookware, entertaining, stoneware, etc.)

Yes, I'm a junkie but these are all useful for your shows and great for guests to see and touch
