Try the Loaded Baked Potato Chowder, the 15 minute fajitas (might be called "fast fajitas" in the file), the Incredible 30 minute chicken, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter "lava" cake. Those are my favorites that I'd start with. There's a lot more, though. Have fun checking out the recipes!

It cleans up easy and cooks very nicely.
For a year, I have used it a couple times a week, and take it to shows where I do not need the 12" skillet (that is easier to talk about without having it).
Hope this helps.
