Hi all :)
Does anyone have any recipes that they use to promote the DCB? I was thinking of making an *clears throat* "inexpensive" dish to take with me to my next party. Any ideas? Thoughts? All are welcomed. :D Thanks in advance!

Incredible 30 Minute chicken. Although I use boneless chicken breasts normally, so it's more like 12-15 minute chicken. You can use the chicken for various recipes... I like chicken caesar salad pizza - it's always a big hit at my shows.
 
Corn on the cob, shuck the corn, put them in the DCB, put about 1/4 cup water in the bottom and cook for about 8 minutes. Perfectly steamed corn every time!!!
 
whole menu costs less than 10.00 for ingredients

ONE POT PASTA IN THE DCB

Brush inside of baker with basil oil ( shows silicone brush, march guest special)
add 1 container grape tomatoes( I use 2 cup easy read to hold till I add)
Add 2 carrots that you peel then use julienne or forged cutlery to slice into diagonal slices( also shows cutting board, with collapsible strainer )
add garlic with peeler and slicer being shown
add salt & pepper mills

micro 5 min

, as a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I have a few recipes that I love to use to promote the DCB. One of my favorites is a simple but delicious baked chicken and vegetables dish. I use the DCB to cook the chicken and then add some chopped veggies like carrots, onions, and bell peppers to the dish. The DCB helps to lock in all the flavors and the chicken comes out perfectly tender and juicy. Another idea is to make a quinoa and vegetable salad in the DCB. It's a healthy and budget-friendly option that always impresses at parties. Let me know if you want the full recipes and I'll be happy to share them with you. Best of luck at your next party!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

The DCB, or Deep Covered Baker, is a versatile stoneware product from Pampered Chef that is perfect for cooking a variety of dishes in the oven or microwave. During the summer, it can be used to prepare quick and easy meals, such as grilled chicken, summer vegetable casseroles, or even desserts like peach cobbler, making it a great tool for entertaining or family dinners.

One quick summer recipe is a Mediterranean Chicken Bake. Simply layer sliced tomatoes, zucchini, and bell peppers in the DCB, add seasoned chicken breasts on top, drizzle with olive oil, and bake. This dish is not only colorful and healthy but also showcases the DCB's ability to cook evenly and retain moisture.

What are some refreshing desserts to make in the DCB during summer?

A great summer dessert to make in the DCB is a Berry Crisp. Combine fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries with a bit of sugar and lemon juice at the bottom of the DCB. Top with a mixture of oats, flour, butter, and brown sugar, then bake until bubbly. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a delightful treat!

How can I use the DCB for summer potlucks or gatherings?

The DCB is perfect for potlucks as it can go from the oven to the table. You can prepare dishes like a layered taco dip or a baked pasta dish that can be easily transported. Its attractive design also means you can serve directly from it, making cleanup a breeze and allowing you to showcase your culinary creations.

Are there any tips for promoting summer recipes using the DCB?

When promoting summer recipes using the DCB, consider hosting a cooking demonstration or a virtual party where you can showcase the versatility of the product. Share visually appealing photos of the finished dishes on social media, and encourage your audience to try the recipes themselves. Offering a special promotion or discount on the DCB during the summer months can also entice customers to make a purchase.
