I tried the Pineapple Upside Down Cake tonight. My husband, a chef, thought the ingredients wouln't fit in the 8" Saute Pan so we made it in the 12" Skillet. It was a really big hit with our guests, even the kids! Thanks for sharing this!lovetocook64 said:Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cake
1 Yello Jiffy Cake Mix
Juice from Pineapple (use can strainer)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 small can crushed pineapple (i used tidbits)
1 egg
3 Tbsp. Butter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter and brown sugar in 8" saute pan. Combine egg, cake mix and pineapple juice (add a little water if batter seems to dry.) Place pineapple on top of brown sugar mixture. Pour cake batter over pineappe. Bake 15 - 20 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes. Flip on to Medium SA Square or Celebrate plate. (Keep on eye on it --my last show it bubbled over in the girls oven and caused the smoke alarm to go off--oops!!)
This recipe is also good if you want to drop something off when you are trying to get into a realtor's office, Bridal shop, hair dressers etc. It's small but will get everyone's attention. As does the microwave cake's in the fluted pan's ( big or mini). Hope this helps!

A great recipe to demonstrate with the Small Saute Pan is a simple stir-fry. You can showcase how quickly it heats up and how evenly it cooks vegetables and proteins. Using colorful vegetables and a protein like chicken or tofu can make the demo visually appealing and delicious!
To highlight the non-stick feature, you can cook an egg or make an omelet without any oil or butter. This will allow you to demonstrate how easily food releases from the pan, making cleanup a breeze. Be sure to show the audience how the food slides right out!
You can share that the Small Saute Pan is easy to clean by simply using warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Emphasize that it is also dishwasher safe for those who prefer that method. Remind your audience to avoid using metal utensils to maintain the non-stick surface.
To demonstrate versatility, you can prepare multiple dishes in one demo. Start with a breakfast item like scrambled eggs, then transition to a lunch option like a grilled cheese sandwich, and finish with a quick dinner stir-fry. This shows how the pan can be used for various meals throughout the day.
Engage your audience by inviting them to share their favorite quick meals or asking them questions about their cooking habits. You can also offer samples of the food you prepare and encourage them to ask questions throughout the demo. Interactive cooking can keep the energy high and make the experience memorable!
