Flameware Fun!

Thank you, Jean Douthitt...

Simple Wow Demos Cooked in Flameware!

Compiled by Fran Thompson Senior Director

 

So EASY! I do the pineapple cake below and mac and cheese! 6 people watched my demo's 4 bought nearly $1,000! Other two would like to purchase later! Fran

 

Take ingredients to shows pre-measured in baggies!

Set up and then mix the Cake and put in about a 15 minutes to a half hour before guests arrive.

When done take out and flip onto the 8 in 1 lid/cake round.

 

Fran's Homemade Mac and Cheese

 

Put Braiser in the hostesses freezer when you arrive to demo!

Take Braiser from Freezer and put on the stove to heat water for the pasta below! This shows how it can go right from freezer to hot burner or flame.

 

In your Braiser on top of the stove

• Fill with water to about a half inch from top of Braiser
• Bring to boil
• Put in approx 16 oz of pasta (I prefer a 3 color tortellini filled with cheese or pine nuts)
• Cook per directions about 16 minutes
• Put in colander to drain water
• Put pasta back in braiser
• Put approx 3 dabs of butter here and there on top of hot pasta
• Use what ever cheese you have in fridge, some Cheddar or Longhorn cut in cubes and stick through out. No set amount.
• Cut into cubes a half a block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese and stick through out (this makes it!)
• 8 0z of a blend of Italian shredded cheese on top
• Fill half way up with milk or half and half, yum!  
• Sprinkle panko crumbs or italian seasoning crumbs on top of shredded cheese
• Sprinkle with a little of Longaberger Seasoning. Rosemary and garlic, or parmesan garlic to show guests that a little blend of seasoning is easy and put's the dot on the i!
• Put in 350 oven for 30 minutes till bubbly hot and serve

Other WOW moments with food in Flameware!

Longaberger beer bread in the braiser but you could do it in a skillet in the oven. I added cheddar cheese and Italian seasonings to the top after I drizzled on the butter. It looks like artisan bread and tastes wonderful too! I then served it with thinly sliced sharp cheddar along side. Sue Neidlinger

Frozen pizza on her grill or in the oven! Done both!

Pineapple upside down cake in the skillet---we do the show while the pineapple upside down cake is baking after we have prepared it.  I use 1/2 of a yellow cake mix and then 1/2 of the ingredients (2 eggs-----whole cake  calls for 3 but I use 2 per recipe.)  I divide the cake mix up ahead of time and just store in zip lock bags till my next show....AND I go to Aldi's and buy my pineapple, cherries AND cake mix which is 99 cents, so less than 50 cents /dessert for the cake mix!  That recipe isout there, but my trick is dividing the cake mix and having half the batter,works better in our skillet!  Am selling lots of skillets and pizza stones!  Heather Gosma

Do a Gluten Free Pizza Crust. Bisquick makes a great one!  Have the ingredients for the pizza toppings all ready to place on the crust.  It was a HUGE HIT at my last Branch Gathering, as I have 2 HC’s that need gluten free food.  It’s delicious!   Chris Heldstab

Pizza w/Longaberger's Pizza crust - keep it simple - sauce & cheese - Some suggest putting cornmeal under the dough to bake.. Have one or two of the guests to make the crust/sauce/cheese --- Two products & then if you do have the pizza cutter & wood paddle to use - that's 4 products they can purchase or Need 1-2  items? Then book a party! Teresa Flood

TIPS shared by those excited and using their Flame ware

With our new Flameware Line it is going to take trial and error and sharing! Thank you to all who shared!

 

Potatoes and eggs: Joy Burdette Hash browns and scrambled egg with avocado. And they did not stick!  

 

I have a glass range top. I sprayed with Pam, heated the skillet, melted some butter and added the grated potatoes.

 

My one burner actually has 2 different sizes and I can turn a knob and select either the large (which I always use for the pizza stone) or the smaller inner circle, which is almost exactly the same diameter as the bottom of our skillet. I used the smaller of the two.

 

I set the burner between 6 and 7 to heat up & fry the hash browns, then turned back to about number 5 when I added the egg 

 

My hash browns were not from raw potatoes. I had a couple of boiled ones left over from supper and used them.

 

I added about 2 tablespoons of butter before I grated the potatoes in the skillet and then dotted the tops with pats of butter. I did not add any more for the egg. The skillet was still good to go! I did not use a lid at all!

 

How Joy seasoned her flameware! Different than Longaberger suggested!

I've not had any trouble with things sticking. I did season my FLAMEWARE differently than what the company suggested. I did it more like how you season cast iron:  Spray with Pam, wipe lightly with a paper towel, put over medium heat just until it starts to smoke. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Joy recommends even if you have seasoned with milk or rice to try seasoning your flameware this way if you are having issues!

 

FYI Company says seasoning is optional! They told us on the training conference call you can season if you wish and as many times as you feel comfortable.  (verified by Brian Tinger) that the surface has a wave to it and that seasoning it, fills in the place between the waves and to cut down on sticking the first time. Using your flameware will do the same thing over time.

 

 

Potatoes: Donna Lee Rogers Heat the pan first, add oil, get it hot, and then add cooked potatoes, with chopped onion..I usually use leftover baked potatoes. I love the Flame ware.

Eggs Fran Thompson finds a way not to stick:  I have a circle on my burner that does not heat up, so I really had a challenge of getting things cooked in a circle about the size of a half dollar. This is how I have managed to make my eggs. Skillet on a smaller burner, as they say flameware heats from inside out.. When you put it on a bigger burner size the hottest part is on the outside and isn't going to heat up the inside as quickly! Sooner or later it all heats up! I It the skillet heat up for several minutes then I put a tad of bacon grease and then I placed my eggs to the outside of the skillet rather than the center and they came out the best yet! They tasted delicious! Did not stick! Yippy skippy I am cooking with electric now!
