Ingredients

 

4 cups Fresh Fruit slices such as Apples or Peaches or 2 cups berries

6 ounces Fruit Juice

1 tsp. Cinnamon

2 cups Standard Cake Mix, dry (1/2 box) or 1 small cake mix, dry

4 ounces Yogurt, fat-free (Plain) Optional

 

Directions

 

1) Wash and prepare fruit such as apples or peaches by coring; slice using the Kitchen Kutter cones #4 or #5 or cut into chunks. No need to peel the fruit. If using berries, wash and discard soft or dried berries.

2) Place fruit in the bottom of the 2 quart unit and pour the juice on top.

3) Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon to 1 box of Jiffy® Cake mix (or 1/2 of a standard cake mix). Sprinkle mix over fruit.

4) Cover and cook on medium heat on stove top until vapor escapes from the valve. Close the valve and turn to low. Cook for 20 minutes or until the fruit has bubbled up through the topping and a nice cobbler topping has formed. When removing the lid, be careful not to allow water from the lid to drip onto the cobbler. Allow to air dry a bit before serving if time allows.

Ingredients

 

Rice Water (2 cups for every one cup of rice)

Raisins or Cranberry Raisins

 

Directions

 

1) Set your stovetop to medium heat.

2) Using your 2-Quart Unit, begin boiling 2 cups of water for every one cup of rice you want to prepare.

3) Cover your unit leaving the vapor valve in the open position. When the vapor valve whistles or you see vapor escaping, uncover and add your rice.

4) Replace the cover. When the vapor valve whistles or vapor again begins to escape, close the valve and turn the heat to low.

5) Allow the rice to cook for 15 to 20 minutes on low heat and in 20 minutes your rice is ready to serve. At this point it is actually ok to remove the unit from the heat source as the rice will continue to cook.

6) You can now add your choice of raisins or cranberry raisins. You may even want to experiment with other dried fruits or leave the rice plain.

Ingredients

 

Sweet Potatoes

Apples Fresh or Canned

Sliced Pineapples

Pineapple Juice (Optional)

Ingredients

 

½ box White or Yellow Cake Mix (1 layer cake) without pudding if possible

2 Tbsp. Butter

¼ cup Brown Sugar

5 Maraschino Cherries cut in half or 1/4 cup dried cranberries

2 Egg Whites (or 2 whole eggs or 1/2c egg substitute)

5 Pineapples Rings in own juice or 1/2 can crushed pineapples

 

Directions

 

1) Drain pineapple reserving liquid. Add water to reserved pineapple juice to equal the water amount required in the cake mix directions.

2) Combine cake mix, juice/water, 1 ring pineapple diced and eggs. Beat for 2 minutes with wisk or beater.

3) Preheat 8" skillet, or 1 qt. pan, over MEDIUM heat. Add butter. When melted stir in brown sugar. Cook until it is well mixed and bubbling, Spread evenly over bottom of pan. Place pineapple in a single layer on top of butter/sugar, placing a cherry or Cranberries in center of each pineapple ring (or scattered about if using crushed pineapple).

4) Carefully pour cake batter over pineapple. Cover and cook on MEDIUM for 5 minutes; turn to LOW for another 10 minutes.5) Remove from heat and allow to sit for 10 minutes. Carefully remove lid. Moisture will have formed in the lid. Take care not to drip it on the cake. Test for doneness using the spring test or insert a toothpick and withdraw. Toothpick should come out clean. If cake is not done, replace the cover for additional 3 minutes and repeat the test. No additional cooking is needed as the pan is hot and will continue to cook the cake. Repeat as needed.6) Invert on to plate.7) Cake will finish cooking off the heat if the top is congealed. It is completely cooked when the top is a soft firm, with a few air holes formed.

Yield: 1 layer cake

Preparation time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 10 minutes

Ready in: 30 minutes

Ingredients

 

¾ cup Sugar

½ cup Biscuit Baking Mix

4 Tbsp. Butter, divided

12 oz. Evaporated Milk, Skim (1 can), reserve 1 Tablespoon for topping

2 Eggs

15 oz. Solid Packed Pumpkin Puree (1 small can)

2½ tsp. Vanilla Extract

1 Tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice

¼ cup Brown Sugar

½ cup Pecans, chopped

 

Directions

 

1) Pre-heat Familie Skillet for stovetop cooking, or the 4 qt. for Slow Cooking, on the range top on medium heat.

2) In a large bowl combine the white sugar, biscuit mix, 2 tablespoon melted butter, eggs and milk- reserving 1 tablespoon milk for the topping. Beat in pumpkin, spice and vanilla until smooth.

3) Spray pan with food spray. Pour into pre-heated pan. Cover. Cook on medium heat for 5 minutes then either turn the range to just above low for stove top cooking, or if using the Gourmet Cooker, place the 4 qt. on the base and set to #4. Either method, cook for about 50 minutes or until a dinner knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

4) While the pie is cooking, make the streusel topping: Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, add the brown sugar and pecans. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Add the reserved tablespoon of milk. Gently sprinkle over the top of the pie as it cooks. This topping is optional and can be put on any time during the cooking process or after the pie is done.

This soup is made with store-bought broth and rotisserie chicken, which shortens the preparation time considerably. (If you usually make your soup from scratch, you may be surprised at how appealing this shortcut can be when you are rushed.)

1 (2-lb) rotisserie chicken
3 celery ribs
1 medium onion, quartered and left unpeeled
6 fresh parsley sprigs plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1 Turkish or 1/2 California bay leaf
10 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth (80 fl oz)
2 medium carrots, cut into1/4-inch-thick slices

1/2 cup long-grain rice, rinsed

 

Remove meat from chicken, reserving skin and bones.

• Coarsely chop 1 celery rib and put in a 6- to 8-quart pot along with chicken bones and skin, onion, parsley sprigs, thyme sprigs, bay leaf, and chicken broth. Simmer, partially covered, 1 hour.
• While broth is simmering, shred about half of chicken meat into 1-inch-long pieces (about 1/4 inch thick) to yield 1 1/2 cups meat, reserving remaining meat for another use.
• Cut remaining 2 celery ribs into 1/4-inch dice.
• Pour chicken broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl, pressing hard on solids with back of a ladle and then discarding them. Skim fat from surface of broth.
• Return strained broth to pot, then add carrots, diced celery, and rice and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender and rice is very soft, about 30 minutes.
• Stir in shredded chicken and chopped parsley.

 

 

Ingredients
1 Cup Brown rice

2 Cups Water

Directions

1) Combine water and rice in 2 qt. sauce pan. Bring to boil over MEDIUM heat. Cover.

2) Reduce heat to LOW and continue to cook for 10 minutes.

3) Without lifting the lid, remove pan from heat and allow sitting for 35 minutes or more.

4) Un-cover and stir. If rice is still too firm and liquid remains in bottom of the pan, cover and place back on MEDIUM heat until vapor escapes. Remove from the heat and allow sitting another 5 minutes.

5) If you wish to reheat for later use, add about 3 tablespoons water to the pan, cover and heat over MEDIUM heat until vapor escapes. Remove from the heat and allow sitting for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, season to taste.

 

 

Ingredients

2 lbs. Boneless Chuck Roast

¼ tsp. Black Pepper, fresh ground

3 cups Sliced Onions (1 large)

1 Green or Red Sweet Pepper (or a mixture for great color)

1 12oz can Beef Broth (low sodium if available)

1 12oz can Beer (Guinness Stout for richest flavor) Salsa

1 cup Fresh Mint

½ cup Fresh Dill

½ cup Fresh Flat-leaf parsley

¼ cup Shallots or green onions

1 Tbsp. Capers (green olives or dill pickles can be substituted)

½ tsp. Sea Salt

¼ tsp. Black Pepper, fresh ground

3 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1 loaf Italian Bread or multi wheat sandwich rolls

8 slices Cheese of choice (optional)

 

Directions

1) Pre-heat 4 qt. utensil on medium heat until a few droplet of water, sprinkled into the pan "dance" or roll around the surface. This will take 4-6 minutes.

2) While the unit pre-heats, trim large areas of fat off the roast and cut the meat into large, 3" chunks; dust with fresh pepper.

3) Brown meat chunks by placing the meat in the pre-heated 4 qt. pot. Allow the meat to sit undisturbed for 4 to 6 minutes. It will stick at first but will release from the pan when nicely browned; turn with tongs.

4) While the meat is browning, slice the onion into thick ¼" slices. After the beef browned on one side and turned, move the meat to one side of the 4 qt. and add the onions. Allow the onions to brown along with the meat, turn when a rich golden brown. Continue to turn the meat as it browns. The browning of both meat and onions will take about 20 minutes.

5) After both are nicely browned, add the pepper slices, broth and beer. Stir lightly, cover with the vapor valve open. Cook on medium heat until vapor escapes from the valve, about 3-5 minutes. Close the valve and turn to low. Cook on low until the meat is fork tender, about 2 hours.

6) While the meat is slow cooking, prepare the salsa. Chop all fresh ingredients, add oil and seasonings; mix and refrigerate in a small covered container until serving.

7) When the meat can be pulled apart by holding the cube with one fork and "raking" another fork across it, shred the beef into string like pieces. Return the beef to the beer/onion liquid and hold on lowest heat until ready to serve.

8) To serve, use tongs or a slotted spoon to lift the mixture from the liquid on to the bead or roll. Top with about a tablespoon of salsa and serve. Optional cheese: Place the cheese slice on the bread before adding the hot beef. It will be perfectly melted by the time it gets to your mouth.
