Microwave Popcorn ~ WITHOUT CHEMICALS

MICROWAVE POPCORN

Pour 1/3 cup popcorn kernels in Large Round Mold. Pour in 2 Tablespoons water and 2 Tablespoons butter and swish around. Place Octagonal Silpat on the Large Round Mold and place in Microwave. Every microwave cooks differently so you may have to experiment with this. My microwave takes 5 minutes. After two minutes of cooking it starts popping like crazy. Then when it starts to slow down I take it out. The result is fluffy air popped popcorn that does not have any chemicals in it. Add salt if you would like.

Steamed Vegetables in the Microwave

STEAMING VEGETABLES:

Wash any vegetable and cut into the size pieces you prefer. The Large Round Mold on a dinner plate. Fill with cut vegetables. DO NOT ADD WATER. Place Octagonal Silpat on top and place in microwave. Every vegetable cooks in a different amount of time. When I cook broccoli in my microwave it takes 5 minutes. After 5 minutes take out of microwave. Pull Octagonal Silpat off AWAY FROM YOU and test your veggies, add more time if needed. Sprinkle with a little sea salt and parmesan cheese if you would like.

Save Money and time with your Demarle Tray

Here are some ideas of how you can save time and money with your Demarle tray. The Texas Muffin Tray (FP001085) is my favorite for these items, but you can use any one of the trays that you wish.

To view the Texas Muffin Tray, simply click on http://shop.demarleathome.com/categories/1039622270-flexipan-trays/products/879818165-texas-muffin-tray-8

The Texas Muffin Tray has a capacity of 8 ounces, so it is a great portion control size for any dinner. Here are several things that you can make in it:

• Chicken, Beef, Veggie Pot Pies, Freeze any left over Soup, Spagetti sauce, Baby Food, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy etc. Once the food is frozen you can pop the food out, put it in a freezer safe bag or container and put back in the freezer.

• Make a batch of your favorite meatloaf mixture then press the meat into the bottom and up the sides of each shape (creating a bowl shape). Bake in the oven for Approx. 15 minutes at 350 degrees. Let the meatloaf bowls cool for a couple minutes then you can remove them from the tray and drain any grease from each bowl. Now to serve, put mashed potatoes in the middle of each bowl and you can drizzle your favorite gravy over the top. You could also serve this with your favorite veggies underneath the bowl to add some color.

Mashed Potatoes in 15 Minutes with NO MESS

This is one of my most favorite things to do with my Demarle Large Round mold and the Octagonal Silpat.

We like red potatoes with the skins on, so here is what we do:

Wash and cube red potatoes (enough to fill mold). WITHOUT ADDING ANY WATER TO THE MOLD, put the potatoes in the mold then place the Octagonal silpat on top of the mold and put in the microwave for approx. 15 minutes. Test the potatoes to see if they are soft enough for you, if not put in for a couple more minutes. Once they are soft enough for you, simply add butter, ranch dressing, sour cream, milk, salt, pepper or what ever you like in your potatoes. Using a potato masher, simply mash the potatoes in the mold then you can even use the mold as the serving dish.

I love how much time this saves, they tastes so much better and you only have one dish to clean.

Breathless Peach Cheesecake

For those of you counting the calories, here's a dessert you will love!

TOOLS NEEDED
Fluted Pie Mold (FM000480) or any mold with aprox. 2 quart capacity or less
Medium Perforated Baking Sheet (MA435310)
Mixing bowl
Petite Demarle Difference Sauce Pan (DD901014)
Blender

INGREDIENTS
1 ½ C crushed graham crackers
¼ C sugar
1/3 C butter, melted
1 Envelope unflavored gelatin
½ C Cold water
1 16oz Can Light Peaches, drained (save juice)
1 8oz Package Light Cream Cheese, softened
¼ Cup sugar
small splash of mint flavoring (optional)

Place the Mold of your choice on the Perforated Baking sheet set aside. Using mixing bowl combine the crumbs, sugar and butter and blend well. Press into the bottom of the mold and refrigerate for approx. 30 minutes. Next, in blender, sprinkle gelatin over water and let stand for 2 minutes. In sauce pan, bring the saved peach juice to a boil. Add the hot juice to the blender and process on low until the gelatin is completely dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and process on high until blended. Pour into the chilled pie crust and refrigerate until firm, about 3 hours. Garnish with peaches and or mint leaves, if desired.

Scrambled Egg Pinwheels

* Preheat oven 350 degrees and place your Rectangular Flexipat (FL002010) on the Baking Sheet (MA435310).

* In a bowl scramble 7 eggs, 2 Tbsp milk, 1 1/2 Cup shredded cheese and seasoning of your choice (I used Morton's nature seasoning - I love it and use it on everything). If desired add ¼ C finely chopped fresh spinach and ¼ C finely chopped mushrooms to the egg mixture.

* Pour mixture into your Flexipat and bake for 8-10 minutes (just until set). Remove from oven and let cool for about a minute. If you would like you can now spread a little salsa or sour cream on the eggs and from the wide side roll the eggs up. Then cut and serve.








Flexipat pictured above ~ it is much like the silpat, but it has a 3/8" edge all the way around so you can use this for anything that is juicy and no mess in your oven. Also great for baking bacon in oven (425 degree aprx. 15 minutes), jelly roll cakes, bar cookies, roasting vegetables.......

Microwave Kettle Corn

Are you ready for this?......

You can now use your Demarle products and make the Best Ever Kettle corn in your microwave. Here's what you will need and how to make it:

Spongecake mold (in 2009 catalog it is referred to as Large Round Mold)
Octagonal Silpat (SP002626)

Microwave Kettle Corn

Ingredients~
3 Tbsp water
1/3 cup raw sugar (you can use plain white sugar)
1/3 cup popcorn kernels
¼ tsp salt

Directions:
Pour water and sugar in Sponge cake mold and swirl around until mixed together well. Cook in microwave for 2 minutes on high. Add popcorn kernels to hot sugar syrup and swirl around again to coat all the popcorn. Place the Octagonal silpat on top of the Sponge cake mold and cook for approx. 4 minutes on high. Every microwave cooks much different, so be sure to listen to the popcorn and as soon as it stops popping remove from microwave (this will burn if left in too long). Quickly sprinkle salt while mixing with your heat resistant spatula to evenly coat and enjoy.

Twisted Apple Cinnamon Rolls

Roll Ingredients~

1 cup butter or margarine

1 1/2 cup cottage cheese

2 1/8 cups flour

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/8 cup brown sugar

Glaze Ingredients~
1 cup powdered sugar
1 Tablespoon margarine
1 Tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon


Directions: Cream margarine and cottage cheese together then add flour and Apple Cinnamon herbs and mix well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Divide dough into 3 sections then using the Roul’pat, roll each ball into a round circle about ¼ inch thick (you may have to use a little flour when doing this, but not much). In small bowl, mix cinnamon and brown sugar then lightly sprinkle on top of circle. Cut into wedges (like a pizza) then roll each wedge from the outside into the center (like a cresent roll). Repeat this step with each section of dough then place the rolls on silpat and bake for 30-40 minutes (they will be lightly golden brown) at 350. Once the rolls are cooled, make glaze by simply mixing the ingredients together, then pour over top of each roll.
