Wow, isn't that the million dollar question!  I don't know if there is a recipe that will do it. 

 

A super simple recipe that sells lots of tools including cookware and shows versitility of the stoneware (yes I know you said cookware) is the Beef Enchilada Casserole.  It's super simple to make, but uses cookware and stoneware and you can cross sell like crazy!

 

You'll use:

29 Minutes to Dinner Cookbook.  10" Stainless Skillet for the ground beef AND as an added bonus you get to use the Mix 'N Chop which is a smaller priced item, but whenever I bring it I sell TONS of them!  AND because this is a microwave meal you can tell them that when they're in a hurry they can use the Micro Cooker to brown their hamburger in the microwave.  Then of course there's the Deep Dish Baker.  Not everyone knows these can go in the microwave too.  Just using any recipe that uses our seasonings is a big plus!  I always sell more seasonings when we use one in the recipe.  You'll need a Mix 'N Scraper to stir the hamburger mixture.  Use the Easy Adjustable Measuring Spoon to measure out the salt and cross sell the Easy Adj. Meas. Cup.  Use the Easy Read Measuring Cups to measure out the water.  Just bring the small one.  You don't need to bring all three to talk about them.  Use the Measure-All Cup (and bring along the Mini one if you have it because everyone thinks its so cute) for the salsa and use your Jar Opener even if you don't need to.  Although it makes our hubby's feel all manly to open jars for us, we women need to be INDEPENDENT and open our own jars!  Be sure to use the solids end cuz everyone loves to "pop" stuff out of it!  You'll use your Can Opener, Pizza Cutter, & Large Grooved Cutting Board.  Bring along a Prep Bowl and your Kitchen Shears to cut the cilantro.  I sell tons of Prep Bowls by talking about them.  Everyone has been really curious about the new Rotary Grater so bring that for the cheese.  It works GREAT!!  I hated the Cheese Grater...love the new style!!  Instead of lime wedges, use the Ultimate Mandoline to slice them and then use the Forged Santoku Knife to cut them in half.  Put the lime and the sour cream in the Small Bowl Caddy with the Small SA Bowls and Small Bamboo Spoons for serving.  Don't forget to bring along an Oven Mitt or Oven Pad to get it out of the microwave.  I can't tell you how many times I forget that just because it was in the microwave, it is still HOT!!  And set it on the RUFTH Trivet!  The one thing missing that I always try to bring is a Stainless Steel Bowl.  If I don't use it in my recipe, I use it to collect something.  Even if I have to make something up so I can collect something! 

 

Extras that I sometimes have done depending on the number of guests and if I need more steps*:

You can make up a quick Betty Crocker cornbread mix and sprinkle Southwest Seasoning on top if you wanna show the cookware in the oven.  1 package fits perfectly in the saute pan.  Flip it out and cut into bite size pieces using the Bread Knife.  Also lets you use a small batter bowl and whisk.  Dice up extra tomatoes and shred some lettuce using one of the forged knives.

 

*When I say "need more steps" it's because I do all my shows interactive.  Getting their hands on the products really helps bring up show averages.  I do my best to get everyone to try something.  I type out the recipe step by step onto business cards and laminate so that I can reuse the cards again.

 

So are you ready for the breakdown of the price of tools USED?  $645.50!!  That's including the SS bowls but not including those items that I mentioned to cross sell.  And I've just made up your packing list for you! lol!

Wow Michelle! You really ARE the bomb!

 

That was a great read, makes the recipe sound super simple too. I haven't done this at a show, it might be time to.

Thanks so much for the great ideas.  Can't wait for the first show.

Yep!  I actually had a host's microwave be too small for it and we just popped it in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes until the cheese was melted.  Gives you extra time to talk about stoneware and cookware but it's a little bit of a shocker if you're not prepared!  I almost had this happen to me with the Deep Covered Baker and we were doing ribs.  There's no way we could have done them in the oven in time for a party.  It was a very tight fit but it squeezed in there.  Now that was a scary one!
