How Pampered Chef products can be beneficial when used by vegetarians and those concerned about caloric intake / fat consumption

1. The food chopper is the vegetarian’s best friend! Use it for nuts as well.
2. PC stoneware helps you cook with a lot less fat and oil, and some oil is even absorbed into the stoneware. Chicken can be cooked standing on end in the stoneware bundt pan and drain while it’s cooking. Use the stackable cooling racks to drain other fried foods.
3. Use parchment paper to wrap fish and let it cook it in its own juices with a little seasoning and lemon. Put wrapped fish on stoneware, it cooks evenly without burning.
4. Use the slice-n-grate to slice and julienne vegetables into even sized pieces to make a kicked up presentation and so food cooks evenly. Blades are very shop, can slice tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes with ease.
5. Get a copy of WW points for Pampered Chef recipes, (Ask your consultant for a copy) many of which are lowfat, and utilize them, or check the nutritional information at the bottom of PC recipes from the books or provided with tools. . Use reduced fat canned bread doughs instead of regular (crescent dough and french bread). Check for light variations of PC recipes.
