What is demo: Definition and 200 Discussions

Hi all! I'm having a show next weekend and we are doing the BBQ pork sandwiches. The pork tenderloins always turn out so good in the DCB! But I need some other things to go along with this since it doesn't require many tools. Also, the show is 2 hours away on a Saturday afternoon so I...

I am doing a Power Cooking Chicken Show tomorrow and was just reviewing the recipes. According to the website they suggest having the host purchase for three meals and you prepare and serve one and then (and this is unclear) do the other two for the host at some other point? At any rate, she...

do you wear gloves when you are doing your demo or just wash your hands before hand?

I need some ideas ... host wants me to demo a 'quick' main dish and doesn't want to use the microwave. What are some of your favorite quick dishes?

:chef:I am doing a Professional Adminstraives day show. I was ask to do a demo which will be max. time of 20 minutes to do. I have to do 2 demos, 1 in the morning for the breakfast group and 1 for the lunch group. Any suggestions on what to demo? They are going to taste what I demo too. There...

I LOVE my deep covered baker!!! I'm doing a power cooking demo tomorrow, and want to do the boneless/skinless chicken in the dcb in the microwave instead of the stove (I've only done whole birds- never breasts or thighs)......I heard 7 min per pound......do you have the lid on or off? Thanks!!!

I have a question, and I feel silly asking it...If all you have is a table or an island to work on, what do you do with the items that you bring that you aren't using for the recipe?Sometimes I feel like my demo area is so cluttered it's not very attractive. Then what do I do with my other...

I am doing a Chocolate SHow at my neighbor's house today. She told me yesterday that her cousin who sells Party Lite will also be there. *sigh* I am going to bring Turtle Fudge Skillet Cake but am looking for QUICK chocolate demo suggestions...Don't think I'll be doing a full demo. THANKS...

Just saw this recipe on the Krafts foods website, and I think that it would great for a demo (Valentine's)... only instead of using a Chips Ahoy cookie, maybe use refridgerated cookie dough and bake on stone and then top with the other stuff (of course, not use the Cool Whip from a can but use...

I know that probably around 5+ years ago, there was some sort of fondue recipe that you could demo at shows using the old SA rect. stand and the petite squares. Well, I've got a Jan. host that wants to do a fondue show and I have absolutely NO clue what/how to do it. :confused:I've got the...

Thought I'd share again since this is quick and easy... When making something like the French Bread Pizzas, or with any appetizer, meal demo you can grab a small loaf of bread... Have the guests cube the bread showing off the bread knife. Pour some Basil Blend Canola Oil on a Holiday...

Hi guys! I really appreciate all of you and your posts, so I decided to go ahead and ask a favor. I am doing a Holiday Booth tomorrow and they have requested that I do a demo every hour. 10am - 3pm I am just going to put it out all there and unfortunately, everyone will know what I...

I'm doing a "simple, easy, and elegant" appetizer and dessert show and want to showcase the trifle bowl, b/c it is Dec. host special. I'm doing the brie...not sure whether it will be the tangy pepper pecan brie or the brown sugar-dijon brie (up to host). I was wondering what your favorite...

I just got back from pitching a fundraiser to the Women's Auxillary of our local Volunteer Fire Department- (Janet, you might be able to give me insight on this) It was their monthly meeting at the Fire House, and I discussed fundraiser options, and then made them the Peanut Butter Brownie...

I'm a new consultant...only 1 show under my belt. I'm having my Grand Opening this weekend- two-parter. First is a full-kitchen show (private invite only for friends, etc). The second is an Open-house for those that can't come Saturday, and for my neighborhood/casual acquantance, etc. I...

So, what are you planning on making at your November shows? Since the Dec. host special is the Trifle bowl, are you going to incorporate that into it? Or are you going to demo some piece of the unglazed stoneware to boost sales? Or maybe both? Main dish in the bar pan and a dessert trifle?

I am doing my 1st Morning show it is at 10am and have know what to do for a demo.. any suggestions would be great!

I know that this has been discussed a ton, but I can't seem to find the link... I've read about a demo that a lot of you do for the cookware, garlic bites or something... Can someone please share that with me. I need to kick up my shows and start selling more and I'd like to add a couple...

Hey everyone, I was asked by my son's nutrition and wellness teacher to come in and do a presentation on how to make a quick, and easy nutritious snack or meal. The class will be helping cook. The kids in the kitchen show ideas all seem like they are for little kids, so I am looking for...

Ok Ladies and Gentlemen, I've tried searching the threads to no avail. What exactly is the ice cube demo? I must be missing something somewhere. TIA

Hi All, I am doing an interactive demo on Friday and typed up the steps for it. I will have each guest pick a number and then they will do that step. (The host has a small area so I thought this would work better). Feel free to adapt to your needs. Cheers!

I have never setup a booth and I don't even know where to start. I am going to setup a table and have food to sample for about 30-50 people. I don't know what to bring or really even what I should do. I need help!!!

Hey yall! I'm a fairly new consultant and LOVE this site!! I am looking for a Strawberry Cheesecake-y recipe to demo! Does anyone have any recommendations? I thought of doing the Strawberry Cheesecake trifle but I didn't know if it would be good for a demo at a show. Any ideas?

I have decided it is time to change my WHOLE show.....it is very overwhelming to think of doing that, and now I just don't know where to start! My plan is to do every show as an interactive demo...it is really how I have been doing my shows for sometime now. The problem comes in the post-demo...
