I am LOVING our new Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand! You can cook in the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven on the stove, then transfer it directly to the slow-cooker base.  One pot to clean, I always love that. 

Beef Stew was the first recipe I tried with it, be sure to check out that recipe, it was delicious! This recipe comes from The Kitchn.

Here’s some info about our new Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, which pairs with the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven:

Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand

Slow Cook & Keep Warm

Take your Rockcrok® Dutch Oven or Everyday Pan and turn it into a slow cooker with the Rockcrok® Digital Slow Cooker Stand. The slow cooker lets you cook food on your own time, or easily transfer it from the oven or stovetop directly into the stand to keep it warm. Control the temperature and timing of your food with the stand’s digital display and keep your cabinets tidy with compact cord storage for when you aren’t using the stand. Two inset handles make lifting easy, and the stand even wipes clean for simple cleanup.

Rockcrok® Dutch Oven

COOK ANY MEAL FOR A CROWD

The Rockcrok® Dutch Oven is the perfect size for cooking for a crowd, and unlike other types of ceramic cookware, you can use Rockcroks® right away without needing to preseason. The large Rockcrok® Dutch Oven perfect for anything—appetizers, bread, casseroles, braised meats, soups, and more! You’ll never run out of possibilities with this durable, versatile piece.

Rockcrok® Collection

Calling our Rockcrok® Collection versatile is an understatement. It’s made from durable, high-quality clay that’s heat-safe to 752°F (400°C), so you can sear, braise, simmer, slow cook, fry, boil, bake, broil, microwave, and grill in one pan. Rockcrok® pieces transfer effortlessly from freezer to stovetop to oven and back again, all while creating savory roasts, crisp crusts, moist cakes, and one-pot wonders. Since they’re dishwasher-safe, you’ll find reasons to use these lightweight alternatives to cast-iron cookware every day.

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper, or to taste
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 8 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • Flat Italian parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Heat oil in Rockcrok® Dutch Oven until shimmering over medium heat.  Quickly sear chicken until lightly browned on both sides; remove from stove, and place in Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand.

Peel garlic and smash with the back of a knife.  Add to pot, along with lemon juice and broth.  Cover, and set slow cooker to LOW for 3 hours, or until internal temperature of chicken reaches 165°F/75⁰C.

Remove chicken, set aside. Combine butter and flour to make a paste.  Remove Rockcrok® Dutch Oven from the Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, and place back on stove.  Bring broth to a boil over medium-high heat.  Add in the flour mixture, stirring constantly to combine.  Cook an additional 3-4 minutes, until the sauce is thickened, stirring frequently. 

Pour sauce over chicken, garnish with freshly chopped parsley.  Serve immediately.

Creamy mashed potatoes with sautéed cabbage, kale and green onions make this traditional Irish Colcannon recipe from Krissy over at Self Proclaimed Foodie a perfect dish for St. Patrick’s Day! You can learn more about Krissy here. This was our first try at this dish, but it won’t be our last!  They were perfect, and made everyday mashed potatoes even more flavorful.

I used my Deluxe Multi Cooker and my 5-qt. (4.7-L) Brilliance Nonstick Sauté Pan:

Deluxe Multi Cooker

Pressure Cooker, Sous Vide Cooker, Slow Cooker, Yogurt Maker, and Sterilizer

Our pressure cooker offers so many ways to get a delicious meal on the table with minimal effort and perfect results, every time. In addition to quick cooking—fast, flavorful meals cooked up to 70% faster than other methods even from frozen—and no-fuss slow cooking so it does it thing while you’re doing yours, you can sous vide, the secret to restaurant-quality steaks, fish, and more. With sous vide, you pick the temperature, and it cooks to the exact doneness you love, every time! No more undercooked centers and overcooked outsides. After your food reaches your perfect doneness, it can stay put for up to two hours without overcooking, giving you lots of wiggle room for serving. Plus, there is a yogurt function so you can make homemade yogurt with just two ingredients and less than 5 minutes of hands-on time, and you can even sterilize bottles and utensils. All of this without ever turning on the oven!

Confident Cooking

With 16 preprogrammed settings at your fingertips, you can cook everything from meat, rice, and beans to desserts minus the guesswork. Some added features include an indicator that shows at-a-glance progress of preheating, cooking, and warming so you always know the status of what you’re making and two lid rest slots on the back so you can securely rest the lid on the Deluxe Multi Cooker instead of your counter. The steam release button is safely positioned to keep your hands away from any steam and the outside of the unit stays cool even while in use.

5-qt. (4.7-L) Brilliance Nonstick Sauté Pan

One-Pot Meal Maker

Weeknights have met their match! This 5-qt. (4.7-L) saute pan has high walls, so it’s perfect for one-pot meals and skillet dinners for the whole family. It’s large enough to cook up to four chicken breasts at a time! The stainless steel handle and glass lid let you easily transfer this pan from the stove-top to the oven, and the helper handle gives you the support you need to avoid spills. It’s coated on the inside and outside with high-quality nonstick coatings, which helps food slide right out and makes cleanup a breeze.

About Brilliance Nonstick Cookware

Brilliance cookware is where design and performance meet: It’s top-notch cookware with the performance you expect from Pampered Chef, plus the gorgeous design you want in your kitchen. Like your favorite pair of blue jeans, this cookware will never go out of style.

Click here to get your Deluxe Multi Cooker and here to get your 5-qt. (4.7-L) Brilliance Nonstick Sauté Pan. You’ll be glad you did.

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds russet potatoes peeled and cut in half
  • 1 cup water for pressure cooker
  • 8 tablespoons salted butter
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups kale chopped, packed thick stems discarded

Chop kale, green onions and cabbage. Melt butter in sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add in cabbage and kale, stir to coat in butter.  Let cook undisturbed for 5-10 minutes. Add in green onions, cook for 2-3 minutes more. 

When the potatoes are done, release pressure manually. Remove the water from the inner pot, and then place the warm potatoes into the inner pot.

Tender and seasoned corned beef pairs with potatoes, carrots, and cabbage to make an outstanding dinner for St. Patrick’s Day!! 

I found this recipe from Sarah over at The Magical Slow Cooker. You can learn more about Sarah here.  This was my first time making corned beef in a slow cooker.  Last year, I shared how to make Sous Vide Corned Beef and Cabbage, and since we’ve just come out with our Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, I thought I would try it this way.  It was fabulous, and oh-so easy!

Here’s some info about our Rockcrok®Digital Slow Cooker Stand, which pairs with the Rockcrok® Dutch Oven:

Creamy and delicious, this ricotta cheese takes only three ingredients to make and is ready in no time!  This wonderful recipe comes from Maria over at She Loves Biscotti.  You can learn more about Maria here.  I will be checking out more of her delicious recipes, as this one was perfect!!

To make it even easier, I used my Deluxe Cooking Blender:

Best Blender for Smoothies—and Soup!

Blenders aren’t just for smoothies anymore. Our innovative blender has settings that heat up to 220˚F (104˚C), which means it doesn’t just blend—it cooks.

With a cooking blender, you can make everything from smoothies and milkshakes to soups, jams, alternative milks, and nut butters. With eight preprogrammed settings and two custom settings, there’s no guesswork. The pitcher has a 6-cup capacity for hot food and 7-cup capacity for cold food, and comes with a tamper, dual-sided cleaning brush, strainer bag, boil-over guard, and a cooking guide with more than 60 recipes.

Click here to get yours today.  You’ll be glad you did. 

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole milk do NOT used ultra-pasteurized/ultra-filtered milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice OR white vinegar

Instructions

Add first TWO ingredients, in the order listed to the Deluxe Cooking Blender. Replace and lock the lid. Push the wheel to get to the CUSTOM HEAT setting.  Turn wheel to select 185°F/85⁰C.  Push the wheel again to set the timer to 00:00 minutes. Press the wheel to start.

Once the blender beeps and is done, carefully remove the lid, and add in the lemon juice or white vinegar.  Stir to incorporate, and you will notice that the curds will separate from the whey. Replace the lid and let rest for 15-20 minutes.

Remove the lid, and strain into the strainer bag.  Drain 5-7 minutes for creamier ricotta cheese, and up to 20 minutes for drier cheese. 

Use immediately, or store when cooled up to three days in the refrigerator.

Notes:  To make this on the stove, add the first two ingredients to a large pot (can double recipe), but you will have to stir often and watch the temperature to make sure the milk does not scorch or go beyond 185°F/85⁰C. 

Follow the remaining directions, stir in the vinegar, cover the pot, and use a ladle to scoop cheese into a cheesecloth to drain.

Please be SURE to use whole milk that is NOT ultra-pasteurized, otherwise you will not be able to make this recipe.

To freeze, store in a freezer-safe container for up to one month. 

That’s a wrap! I’d love to hear your thoughts, so please leave a comment below. Your feedback means a lot to me! Together, we’re making kitchen life easier, one Pampered Chef tool at a time.

Happy cooking!

Tender lasagna with a filling of creamy cheeses, mashed potatoes, onions and spices, this pierogi casserole from Taste of Home is so full of flavor, perfect for a family gathering or anytime!! 

For this recipe, I used my Stone Rectangular Baker With Tray, along with our Three Onion Rub:

The Stone Rectangular Baker With Tray offers the best of both worlds. The Stone Rectangular Baker and Stone Serving Tray combine the amazing cooking surface and heat retention of our unglazed stoneware with the beauty of our fully glazed stoneware. You can take both the baker and serving tray straight from the microwave, oven, or freezer to your table. When you’re not using it as a lid, the Stone Serving Tray can be used to bake cookies, cook veggies, serve food, or store leftovers in the fridge!

Shake on the flavor of yellow, red and green onions. Use in place of fresh onions. 1.3 oz. Gluten-free.

Let’s jump right in!

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cup onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup butter, cubed
  • 2 cups 4% cottage cheese, drained
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ teaspoon Three Onion Rub
  • 3 cups mashed potatoes with added milk and butter
  • 1 1/3 cup grated cheddar cheese, divided
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper
  • 12 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
  • Sour cream for topping
  • Chives for topping

Instructions

Chop onion, grate cheddar cheese; set both aside. 

Prepare mashed potatoes (if you need a recipe, see mine here).

Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain, then place in cold water until ready to use. 

Preheat oven to 350°F/175⁰C.

Melt butter in skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions, sauté until tender, about 5 minutes.  Remove from heat.

Mix together cottage cheese, egg and Three Onion Rub.

In another bowl, combine mashed potatoes and 1 cup cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. 

Place 4 lasagna noodles in bottom of Stone Rectangular Baker (3 lengthwise, one horizontal). Top with cottage cheese mixture, and four more noodles.  Top with potato-cheese mixture, remaining noodles and sauteed onions.  Cover noodles with remaining cheese. 

Cover and bake for 25-30 minutes, until heated through and cheese is melted.

Let stand for ten minutes prior to slicing and serving.  Top with sour cream and chives, if desired.
