the new mexican chicken lasagna has been a big hit. I made that at a show the other night and sold so many DCBs!

Hi Paula,

I usually flip it within just a few minutes - never longer than 5. Like to let the brown sugar and butter run all over it. YUMMMMMMM!!!!!!! Try one at home first. This one is always a favorite around our house and never lasts very long.

How do I post a picture on here? I can show you a pic of the last one I made for my hubby on valentine's day.

Would love to see a piture, I think that you just go down to the bottom when writing a message and click on Manage Attachments and go from there... Looking forward to seeing it! So, after you flip you lift the stone off too? I know I'm a little slow...

Love the idea of pinapple upsidedown cake on this site but what is the "normal" 12 minute micro cake recipe? I can't seem to find it anywhere and want a quick easy dessert to add to my show tomorrow night. Thanks!

Look under the files section under fluted stone and there are a lot of the different files with tons of recipes

 

[dianafeller]

yep, just lift the pan off of it. YUMMMMMM!!!!:chef:

does anyone do a WOW Skillet cake?

does anyone do a WOW Skillet cake?

I have done the Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake and it is WOW!! When you flip it out and nothing sticks everyone is amazed.

I've always done mine in the non-stick 12" Skillet. The only hard part for me is flipping it out because it is heavy and I don't have a lot of strength in my hands.

The Pina Colada Upside Down Cake is really good too!

I love the Pina Colada one, my problem with the flip is I couldn't get it centered on the platter and once it's there it's there! Need to work on that, but you're right, it is really heavy for the flip..

Wow! Love this idea! I might have to try it at my next show! It's a brunch show and I was going to make a fritatta and monkey bread, but maybe I'll do this instead of the monkey bread! I like to show how the stones can go in the microwave! Thanks for sharing!!! One question... do you let it sit for 10 minutes in the stone after it comes out of the microwave like the other cakes? Do you flip it right away and then let it sit with the stone still over it? I need details, I'm not very good at figuring these things out for myself

I made monkey bread (in the fluted pan) for the first time last night and my family flipped over it; do you do anything different to the recipe in order to make it in the microwave instead of the oven?

Very pretty! I am excited to try this! Problem is, if I try it at home, I'll eat it! Might just wait until the show, doesn't seem that complicated...

I'm not sure that you can make it in the microwave... I was going to have it baking in the oven while people arrived (so they'd smell it) and then take it out and bake my frittata and serve them together. That's why I thought the Pineapple Upside Down Cake would work better, because it'll show that they can put the stones in the microwave and I'll be doing a skillet frittata, so I'll be putting cookware in the oven. Shows lots of versatility! I wish there was a way to do the monkey bread in the micro, if anyone knows, please share!

It's not complicated and its YUMMY!!! I always ended up eating lots when we make it at home. Always a crowd pleaser!!! Good Luck and HAVE FUN!!!!

[ChefPaulaB]

It's in the Season's Best, Fall/winter 2008... Yummy! If you don't have it just look on CC under REcipes and Products... it has all of the recipes from Season's Best going back to about 2005 or something like that.

[cwinter474]

Did that AND the Grilled Chicken Penne Al Fresco in the DCB - it was awesome to show the guests that they could have dinner and dessert in 30 minutes!!!!! FUN FUN!!! And soooooo yummy!!!!!!:thumbup:

I love to do the 11 minute microwave cakes in the Stoneware Fluted Pan. All the variations come out perfectly every time! I keep a few files of these and other recipes for the Stoneware Fluted Pan and tell everyone that if they purchase one I will be sure and send them all the recipes so they can use it right way. It is always a hit and a bit Wow!

If you search in the "files" section on CS, just search for "Microwave Cakes". You will come up with a ton of recipes.

Steamed Wonton Purses have not seen the recipe for this sounds like a winner could you post please.

It's in the Spring/Summer Seasons Best Cookbook - and also on CC.

 

[Dina Atnip]

Thanks a million will find them.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Thanks a million will find them.

Oh - and they are FANTASTIC! Use the Ginger Wasabi sauce for dipping instead of making the sauce. It's the finishing touch on a great recipe!

 

[Dina Atnip]

Thanks I will I have not tried either so it will be a new one to try.

 

[esavvymom]

ok, so here is my BIG HIT!!!!
everyone LOVES the 12 minute micro cake RIGHT?!
So, I do a Pineapple upside down cake in the microwave:

1/2 cup butter or margarine (1 stick) melted
1 cup brown sugar

Mix the two together, spread evenly in the bottom of the stoneware fluted pan
top with pineapple slices (did this at all my shows in feb. and used the Pineapple wedger and FRESH PINEAPPLE!) BIG HIT. Arrange the pineapple wedges together to form circles. Place 1 marracino cherry in the middle of each one.

Mix cake mix according to package directions substituting the water with pineapple juice.
Pour over top of pineapple and brown sugar/butter mixture.

Microwave on high 10-12 minutes............
flip out onto serving platter and enjoy the ooooohhhhss and aaaaaaahhhhhss!!!! AND, served warm, just melts in your mouth!!!!!

Now, keep in mind, I work a full time job and have 3 kids at home, so I do Pampered Chef only part time - February, 3 shows - 10 bookings - $2593.00 in sales!!!! YAY!!!!

I love to show this pan at a show, because EVERYONE loves an easy dessert. And, it is a $27.00 order right away, that is before they add anything else too it.

AND I usually just throw this on as an add-on recipe for my host and bring the ingredients with me. It is a nice surprise for everyone.

I'm sorry- but what kind of cake do you use? Just a box yellow cake?

Also, w/ that pineapple upside down cake...do you let it sit for a certain amount of time when it comes out of the microwave, or do you turn it over right away?

If you go back to the previous page or two I asked all of these questions and there are some really good details and a picture. You just have to read through a few posts and you should have the answer to any question that you can think of... I need lots of details so I asked a ton of questions.... HTH!
