The 8 inch saute is the only piece of our cookware that I have to work with to show off the cookware line. What ideas do you to show off this cookware that I could do with the small saute pan? :confused:
 
I would do either the garlic bits or the apple pull apart bread they are very simple & good!

Do you need the recipes??

recipes would be great - Anyone know mini-cake recipes too??
 
Rice krispie treats! 1 tablespoon butter, 1/4 cup marshmallows, 1/4 cup rice krispies...

Show off how easily they SLIDE right out of the pan and clean up with a paper towel....
 
I made the garlic pull aparts not too long ago. Be warned... a stick of buter is too much, go with 3-4 Tbsps instead.

Don't get me wrong, I love butter!
 
Joy--love the rice crispies treats idea, but for those of us who are beginner cooks can you please explain HOW to make the treats? temp? in oven or stove? Do we mix ingredients right in the pan? PC recipes are so great and easy because of such detailed instructions....Otherwise I wouldn't be able to do my job....and I have never made rice crispie treats the normal way so I am really at a loss for this one. Thanks in advance
 
Pull Apart Bread

Apple Cinnamon

1/2 stick butter-- this will be split up between sauteing the apples & dipping
them
Pantry Cinnamon Plus
¼ cup sugar
1 apple, sliced and chopped
1 package Pillsbury Grands Biscuits


Caramel Pecan

1/2 stick butter- this will be split up between sauteing the apples & dipping
them

1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 cup pecans, chopped
1 package Pillsbury Grands Biscuits

Garlic

2 Tbs of butter
Pantry Italian Seasoning
1 clove garlic, pressed
1 package Pillsbury Grand Biscuits

Preheat oven to 350. Melt butter in Small Sauté Pan on stovetop, over medium heat—add ingredients, except biscuits, and sauté until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Using Utility Knife, cut biscuits into quarters. Add all the biscuits to the pan, toss with butter mixture, immediately put in oven and bake 18-20 minutes.

Just melt the butter on the stove, add marshmallows and stir to melt... then add the krispies!

The garlic pull aparts or cinnamon pull aparts are good for demonstrating that the pan is oven safe, but the rice krispies are a good "B" recipe or something to do while the "A" recipe is baking in the oven....
