[its_me_susan]

Has anyone used it yet??? I may have just gotten myself into using it as a B recipe for my Friday party... will tempt them to get us all together again soon! Ughhhh I'm nervous about using it.

Be sure you use non stick spray - not the PC spritzer. In the "Inside Scoop" class at conference they told us that.

That's right - but can you over spray that? With or without the flour? I need to search for my use and care card.... I packed them so I could read them out.

I just remember them suggesting non-stick spray (i.e. Pam). I would say lightly spray each cup. They did say to be sure you wipe off the surface from over spray. This will prevent it from getting sticky. I know it's the new thing, but the stoneware is alot less trouble - or at least that's my opinion.

I believe it says there's no need for the spray with flour, but I can't find my Use and Care Card in this mess of a kitchen right now and they're not on CC yet. I used it with the Caramel Sticky Bun recipe and it was awesome!! It also says it's dishwasher safe, but I can't get mine to fit in there. I'd like to try it just with a regular cake/cupcake mix and see how it turns out.

Is that what you're planning to do with your "B" recipe? Do you just follow cupcake bake times on the box? I have to find that Use and Care card!!!

So far I LOVE this new product!

I don't have a plan! lol. NOT even sure host will want them.... wree the caramel sticky Bun recipe easy? Could it be made in advance? Can you tell I'm nervous.

It was pretty easy, but it's all from scratch. You mix the dry ingredients, then melt butter and mix that with some stuff, then mix the two together. I suppose you can make the batter and have it all ready to go then scoop it into the muffin thing and bake. I didn't make the caramel sauce however because I already had some in the fridge from Tastefully Simple. You definitely could make these ahead of time though.

It's got more steps than just using a box mix, which is why I want to try that. Those Caramel things are great though and definitely would be better than a box mix.

Jackie, Did you use cake mix or the caramel things?

I have used my pan a couple of times so far and I have to say I really like it. I did lemon cake (for some reason I have a lot of that ) They look really nice plated with a slice of lemon and a couple of blue berries.

Did you just follow lemon cake mix instructions? Did you frost? Large scoop?

Forgive me if this suggestion has already been posted, but one of the Consultants in my downline suggested making ice molds with it. We decided they would look very pretty with a flower added to the water so it gets molded into the ice.

Thanks!

I melted chocolate and poured it in the molds. After chilling, they popped right out (no oiling of the mold needed). Also great for ice cream or butter molds or ice. I would completely fill the mold for ice cream or ice (use lemonade or other flavors too!) and 1/4 to 1/3 full for chocolate or butter (too thick a piece if you filled it more).

After releasing from the molds just put them in a zip lock bag and freeze or refrigerate (depending on the food type used).

I plan to make the chocolate molds as a hostess gift this fall and bring them to the shows. I also plan to do the butter molds for my Thanksgiving dinner and any other entertaining I do this fall.

 

[pchefjodie]

Don't use Pam with flour or any flour in them. Just use regular Pam only.

 

[chefmelody]

Are these pans difficult to clean? I've got a small apartment dishwasher, and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't fit. I may just be making the mini sticky cakes in the stoneware muffin pan...

 

[jmabner]

The pan cleans out really simple, I didn't even think about putting it into the dishwasher.

Beth did you completely fill with chocolate? What kind of chocolate did you use? Bet we can fill with fudge too!

Shana... If I were transporting the cupcakes to a party... does the frosting harden?

 

[lisacb77]

Beth, did you freeze or refrig the chocolate, and if so, how long? I've borrowed my directors for my open house and I like this idea better than cupcakes. How did you melt the chocolate?

This is a GREAT idea for a pretty punch bowl! Pop a few mint leaves in them too.

It should be easy to clean as it is made out of the same material as our srapers. The "cup" parts of it can be pushed out to clean the little creases, so I imagine it isn't difficult, but I haven't used mine yet.

 

[karenblount]

Love the pecan carmel recipe that we have with it. Yummy, but I over cooked mine. And I didn't fiddle with all the extra carmel sauces, just melted the caramels in the package with a little milk in the micro cooker. Great presentation! Cleaned up in a snap.

Yeah, the first time I cleaned it I didn't pop out the little cups so it was left with little crumb-y things. So, cleaning it the 2nd time, I popped those out and it worked great!!

 

[chefmelody]

Everyone mentions using these for ice in a punch bowl... but has anyone tried it? With the shape these are, won't they float wrong-side up, not showing the pretty florals?

 

[schel]

Hope I'm not to late, they said at Conference, only Pam. Not Pam with flour.

When I made the lemon cakes I did follow the directions on the box, they are actually really good. I just pour the glaze over the individual cakes. Yes the glaze hardens so you can just wrap them with plastic wrap. Oh, and I used bakers joy (because that's all I had) and it worked just fine. I found it to be pretty easy to clean, since you can turn each well inside out and clean the grooves.

Oh.....I didn't think about that! It will be a few weeks before I get mine, I'll give it a try then. If someone tries this out let us know.

 

[Shari'sKitchen]

they're really easy to clean, you just pop it inside out. Diswasher safe.

Has anyone tried doing jello in it yet? Do you think you'd need to spray it then too????

 

[Shari'sKitchen]

Beth did you completely fill with chocolate? What kind of chocolate did you use? Bet we can fill with fudge too!

Not all the way, too thick if you fill it. You dont want them to break their teeth when they bite it.

 

[ShanaSmith]

I seem to recall hearing that they did not work well with jello. I can't remember exactly why though, so keep us posted.
