I know most people do not attend Pampered Chef shows thinking I’m going to buy cookware tonight! But, think about the last time your spouse/significant other bought a power tool & only used/uses it once/2 or 3 times a year. This investment will be used EVERYDAY! It has a lifetime guarantee. COOKWARE: All other tools we sell make it easier for you; our cookware makes you a BETTER cook. With most cookware on the market heat cannot transfer because the gauge isn't high enough. Our cookware has superior quality. Everyone is terrified of Teflon which is what is sprayed on most inexpensive cookware on the market (it is a brand, not a material). Our cookware is hard anodized aluminum/reinforced titanium for superior durability; baked on layers of DuPont Autograph 2 nonstick coating inside & out for effortless cleanup - which goes under intense superior testing, which makes for it’s lifetime guarantee! Why cookware goes in the oven: REHEAT food to taste like the FIRST time you cooked it. AND you can make the perfect cake in it! Our tempered glass lids seal the pan. That seal creates a steaming and stewing process. Every time you lift the lids to see what's going on you add 5-10 minutes on the cooking time. With our see through lids you won't do that. Quick tip - adding water to eggs makes them fluffier. Adding milk to eggs, makes them creamier. The FAMILY SKILLET is 1 of my absolute favorite pieces! This is my investment/economy shopping SKILLET! When ground beef or boneless chicken breasts are on sale, I purchase 10-20 lbs; cook it up & pkg in 1 to 1-1/2 lb pkg. When I need a quick meal, I can pop a pkg in microwave to thaw & by time I have a box of pasta cooked, open a jar of sauce (spaghetti for beef/Alfredo for chicken), I can heat a can of veggies or steam some fresh in Micro-cooker (broccoli etc., in less than 5 min) &/or open a bag of salad & have a homemade meal, because I made it at home!

But what if you want something a little fancier? You can make treats fancy enough to serve to guests. You can add chocolate or peanut butter or dried fruit or more. You can even make Rice Krispies Treats when you don’t have marshmallows. Let’s start with the basic Rice Krispies Treat. They are easy & quick and most people like them. Then let’s talk about how to fancy them up with other goodies. At that point, you can create and develop your own fancy Rice Krispies Treats. There are 2 ways to make Rice Krispies Treats. The 1st & easiest is with marshmallows. The 2nd is without marshmallows, made with corn syrup. The result is basically the same since marshmallows are made with corn syrup. We have included both kinds of recipes. How Not to Make Rice Krispies® Treats: How can your Krispies Treats go wrong? We’ve experimented enough to know some of the ways. Here is what we have found. 1. Don’t scorch the marshmallows and butter. Cook over low heat & stir constantly. 2. Get marshmallows hot enough. If the marshmallows are too cool, they will set before the cereal is well coated. Remember that the cereal will lower the temperature of the melted marshmal-lows & cause it to set. 3. Don’t add the chocolate chips or other extras to the marshmallows until the marshmallows are melted & very hot. If you add these too early, you will have trouble melting the marshmallows. Add nuts or fruits with the cereal. You can add chocolate chips at the same time; the hot marshmallows will melt the chips. Original Rice Krispies® Treats Recipe: The following recipe is based on Kellogg’s® original Rice Krispies Treats recipe. We prefer this with vanilla extract which wasn’t in the original recipe. 4 tblsps (1/2 stick) butter 4 cups miniature marshmallows 1 tsp vanilla extract (opt) 6 cups Kellogg’s Rice Krispies cereal or equal Butter a 9 x 13” baking pan. In a large pan on the stovetop, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows. Stir until the mixture is melted & smooth. Add the opt. vanilla. Add the rice cereal. Stir until the cereal is uniformly combined with the marshmallow mix- ture. Remove the mixture to the buttered pan. Evenly distribute the mixture & press it down into the pan with buttered fingers, a piece of waxed paper, or a spatula. Let cool & cut into squares. Baker's notes: If you use a large enough pan, you can mix the treats right in the pan, not in a bowl. The hot pan makes it a little easier to stir the mixture together and there is less clean-up. Rice Krispies Treats are best eaten the same day.<<< Grandma Maloney's Peanut Butter Rice Krispies® Treats Recipe: This is a recipe that uses corn syrup, not marshmallows.
