Recipe Success: 12" SS Skillet vs. 12" Exec?

In summary, the recipe calls for a stainless steel skillet but the picture on the recipe shows an SS skillet with the name "Exec". The recipe also calls for 10 cups of water but I have made it several times and used the amount of water recommended and it has always come out great. I have also tweaked the recipe by adding chopped onion and spices. I also have been using ground chuck. I have used the Exec. 12" skillet and use the 10" one to brown the ground chuck. I have also used this recipe with pork and it was delicious.

I was thinking about offereing this to one of my hosts...

I only have the 12" SS Skillet (I do not have the 12" Exec yet).

The recipe states: "...in (12 in/30 cm) Skillet..." It does not say SS or Exec. But the picture clearly shows the Exec.

Has anyone made this using the SS pan yet and are there any problems I should be looking for by using it instead of the Exec?

Thanks,
Kathleen
 
I don't have the executive or the PC SS. I have the Emeril SS and it worked just fine for me......

My family loved it!
 
I only have the Exec. which I will be using for this recipe. I'm making it next week at a show. I'll be practicing it later this week.

Please let me know if you have any tips for me. I think someone said don't use as much water as it called for.
 
It was fine on the water for me...

...just make sure you keep stirring when you can with this in a stainless pan or it will start to stick to the bottom...
 
Ok....I'll ask a dumb question....where are you getting this recipe from? It rings a bell but I can't put my hands on it.

Thanks!

Thanks! I should've known!
 
Maybe it needs more water in the SS then it does the Executive?

Its a great recipe on its own. I tweaked it adding some chopped onion & spices. I also have been using ground chuck. I have used the Exec. 12" skillet
and use the 10" one to brown the ground chuck.
