Has anyone ever made it in this instead of the small oval? I seem to remember the small oval being a bit too full, but was wondering if the minibaker is too big?

Thanks,
Sandy
 
I've done it in the Mini Baker but doubled it (used refried beans instead of the bean dip).
 
I make it in the deep dish baker by doubling the recipe. I have also made it in the rectangle baker by doubling it and then doubling it again.

This is exactly how I make it every time too! It is an awesome demo! I also make the tortilla chips and line the Woven Selections Square Server with a towel or napkin (ours of course ;) ) place the mini-baker in the center and surround it with the chips. Shows lots of products.
 
Hi Sandy,I have personally used the minibaker for some of my recipes and have found it to be the perfect size for a single serving or for smaller portions. It's also great for individual desserts. The small oval can sometimes be a bit too small for certain dishes, so the minibaker is a great alternative. I would recommend giving it a try and seeing how it works for you. Let me know if you have any other questions!Best,
