Look at the recipe section.... The Anthenian cheese spread is sooooo impressive and yummy!
When I do my open house, I plan to be pressing cookies while I wait for guests, and greet them. Just do busy recipes that don't require alot of attention. Maybe make a pizza to serve as an appetizer.

Hi there! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I would suggest doing a demo on one of our popular and easy-to-use kitchen gadgets, such as the Quick Slice or the Mix N' Chop. These are great tools that can save time and make cooking easier for your guests. Another idea could be to showcase a simple recipe using our Stoneware or Rockcrok, as they are versatile and can be used for both cooking and serving. Hope this helps and good luck with your Open House!
Frequently Asked Questions
What are some easy recipes to demonstrate at a Pampered Chef open house?
Some easy recipes to demonstrate include a simple salsa using the Food Chopper, a quick guacamole using the Avocado Slicer, or a no-bake cheesecake using the Mix 'N Chop. These recipes are not only quick but also showcase the versatility of Pampered Chef products.
How can I incorporate product education into my demos?
While demonstrating a recipe, take the time to explain the features and benefits of the products you are using. For example, discuss how the Nonstick Cookware helps with even cooking and easy cleanup, or how the Stoneware retains heat for perfect baking. Engaging your guests with product knowledge enhances their understanding and interest.
What tools should I have on hand for my demo?
Make sure to have essential tools such as measuring cups, mixing bowls, and the products you plan to demonstrate. Additionally, having a cutting board, knives, and serving utensils will help streamline the process. It's also helpful to have napkins and small plates for guests to sample the food.
How can I encourage guest participation during the demo?
Encourage guest participation by inviting them to help with simple tasks, such as chopping vegetables or mixing ingredients. You can also ask questions and invite them to share their own cooking tips or experiences. This interaction keeps the atmosphere lively and engaging.
What should I do if I run out of time during my demo?
If you find yourself running out of time, have a backup plan ready. You can prepare some components of the recipe in advance and finish the demo with a quick assembly. Alternatively, you can provide a handout with the full recipe and cooking instructions for guests to take home, ensuring they still have the information they need.
