What Will You Demo at Your November Shows?

[kcjodih]

Power cooking is cooking once and eating more than once. There's a whole section on Consultant's Corner on it. Last season was beef, this season is chicken. If you go to the files section and type in power cooking you'll get a bunch of different documents. Also if you just search up top under 'search' and type in power cooking you'll find tons of threads about it. Here's one of my favorites - from Becky. http://www.chefsuccess.com/f18/yikes-my-power-cooking-clinic-37833/

Thanks Jodi.
I am loving this website!
We don't get all the same info on the UK consultants corner as you do, so this is a great resouce for extra ideas!
Your products are loads cheaper too! At the moment a your 12 cup muffin is $32.50... in the UK it's £40.50... this would be about $70!!! They are so heavy to ship from the US is bumps the price up! I need to fly over and stock up!!

I make Thanksgiving in a Bites through November. It's a Hide The Turkey show because it uses leftovers too. These are made in the mini-muffin pan, which I know isn't a special item, but I like giving the idea to my customers. They LOVE these, and these shows always end up very good. I will post the recipe as soon as I find it. At any rate, I will probably take cookies or brownies already done on the bar pan as well.

Found it...
Thanksgiving in a Bite. Make a basic cream cheese dough (pecan tassie dough) and roll into small balls (one ball per well), or use refrigerated pie crust cut into small circles and place into wells. Use lightly floured tart shaper to push into cups. Make filling by preparing Stove Top stuffing (we used turkey flavor) according to package directions (at my shows, I make it in the microwave in the classic batter bowl). Mix with a can of cream of mushroom soup and 1 egg. Chop up some cooked turkey (really, the amount is to taste, but I think I used between 6 and 8 oz. or so) and mix in stuffing. Use small scoop to add a scoop of the filling to each cup. Press down slightly using the back of the scoop. Use the can opener to open a can of WHOLE cranberry sauce (or make your own for better flavor) and pour into small batter bowl. Mash up so it's a "sauce" and not a "jello". Use a small spoon to top each cup with a few cranberries. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes or until the stuffing is browned slightly. Use the tart shaper to remove from pan. For added flavor, you could throw some chopped up dried cranberries in before you make the stuffing. Also, a guest suggested mixing in some orange zest (could show the microplane) with the cranberry sauce.

This recipe sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing Jane. NOW I just need to get on the ball and have these ideas/recipes ready the month before thanksgiving.

I was thinking after I posted this that you could probably use the DCB to cook up some turkey breast at the show. I've never used it for a small amount of food is my only concern. At any rate, it would be another way to showcase the stoneware, albeit a host only piece for the special.

I made 4 bone-in chicken breasts in the DCB tonight. I cooked them 14 minutes, which was too long, but they were great! Sooooo, for my Hide the Turkey, aka Thanksgiving in a Bite shows, I WILL be making a turkey breast in the DCB. So glad this turned out!
