I have a host who is a "meat & potatoes gal" and one of her guests would like to see the gravy separator in action. One thought I had was to roast a couple of chickens here at home in the roasting pan, then take the pan with the chickens to her home and make the gravy there. Any other...

I'm taking a recipe to work tomorrow for a catalog show some ladies are doing for me. I want to use the DCB and can't decide what a quick and easy recipe would be. I was thinking the 15 min chicken fajitas. I don't want to have to take a lot of stuff with me and was hoping to put it together...

A host wants a healthy appetizer for her demo..... I've decided to do the wontons, but in looking at it, it doesn't need a lot of tools. Should I do another appetizer to go with it? If so- any suggestions?

Hello! I have a childrens/family expo coming up soon and I am looking for some ideas to add to my own. I am having 2 tables put together so I will have quite a bit of space. Half of the table I want to display my best selling products and/or the new consultant kit along with having a "free show"...

So, I was doing a show about a month ago and while using the microwave, something happened to the glass turnplate. Part of it melted (wierd, I know). The spot was about the size of a berry,didn't make a hole in it just a big dip in the glass...then it cracked around the dip. Still think it is...

Do these seem like they are working? I've tried a couple times in the past week and don't seem to be able to actually click on anything?

Just wondering if you think this makes a good Show Demo Recipe? This weekend's host gave me the power to decide the dish. :)

I am doing a fundraiser for a Montessori Early Learning Center (my first fundraiser). Rather than ask the parents to attend a kick-off show, the director suggested displaying PC items and serving finger foods as parents come to pick up their children at the end of the day. I would also...

I'm starting back up, with a relatively good looking calendar, after a year or so hiatus. Before I went on my hiatus, I had been doing the 3 cheese garden pizza, turtle fudge skillet cake, and...shoot, don't remember now. I was wondering what everyone's fave demo recipes are...besides the 30...

Hi all - I know this may have been addressed before, but I am new to chefsuccess so please bear with me! I have an upcoming fundraiser for a girls' dance team school (ages 4 - 14) and am looking for good ideas "demo wise" for a cooking show fundraiser. I figure it'll be an "open house" setup...

What are y'all doing? I have to tell my hostesses what we're doing and I am out of ideas! I am also trying to downsize my kit and not bring so much since I am 32 weeks pregnant. I like main dishes for the demo. Maybe chicken power cooking?? What are you doing?

At our last meeting we demoed it with the Chicken Caesar recipe. Wow!

While a microwave cake is cooling I am going to do a quick fruit demo tomorrow night at a show. Any additional ideas would be helpful. This is what I have come up with so far: Pineapple wedger (pineapple) Core & more (strawberries & melon) Egg slicer (strawberries & bananas) Peeler (kiwi...

Tomorrow I'm doing a "show" sorta. I have two friends who just moved into a house and are having a housewarming party tomorrow. It's an open house and they've given me their wishlist and want me to set up a table and have catalogs and the wishlist out for their friends to buy them a...

After asking what others were making in May, it seems like the DCB recipes are da bomb! So I now want to ask.....what's YOUR favorite to demo? Also, what are the micro measurement requirements? 17 x 17 x 8? or something like that?

Hey all! Anyone have any advice on good demo's to start with for newbies (those aside from the ideas in the kit b/c they do not even appeal to me)? I want to practice whatever I make before I bomb it on day 1 so I'm just trying to get ideas from all of those who have great experience and know...
