                      | Haven't tried any of the bakeovers yet....I am wondering about the pan to use. I have a small "personal" sized wok pan from Calphalon, do you think that would work well? How important is the shape of the pan to the way these cook?

                      | Catherine, I use a cast iron skillet, probably 10 inches (I'm not a home so can't measure it).  Spray it with cooking spray and just clean it good when it's empty.  Cast iron has to be seasoned and I don't want to mess that up . . kinda like the treatment you give Pampered Chef stones.
 I think a wok would work fine  . . . my hubby cooks in woks all the time but they are big ones.  Too big for my BakeOvers.
 Have fun!!
 CJ

                      | Well, I have a cast iron skillet that I inherited from mom, it is very well seasoned! I was very fortunate to snag that LOL. But it's 12" so way too big unless I am having a handful of folk over. I am usually only cooking for myself. My personal wok looks a lot like the pan MJF sells but perhaps shaped a little more curved, so I think I will try that. It sounds like it'll work. I saw the pic of the cherry chocolate one and was practically drooling! But I want to try a savory one first I think.

                      | Would just a glass 9x9 or 9x13 ovenware work or not? Does it need to get hotter than this would? Some week ends we are feeding 5 & sometimes it just the 2 of us.

                      | I actually made up my first bakeover the other day after I tried CJ's.  It was a chili bakeover.  I sauteed up some onions and greens from the garden and then added some browned ground beef that I had frozen in the freezer (I guess you could brown up fresh with the onions), a can of mexican stewed tomatoes, a can of kidney beans (rinsed) and a bunch of chili spices like lots of chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, red pepper flake, salt and pepper.  I left that to simmer on the stove on medium-high heat to cook out and concentrate some of the tomato liquid and turned to prepare the cornbread recipe on the back of the cornmeal package.  Once the liquid in the "chili" was cooked down a bit I spread the cornbread batter across the top and stuck it in a 400 degree over for 25-30 minutes.  The cornbread sucked up any of the extra juice from the tomatoes and it flipped out so nicely on the plate.  I then topped it with cheddar cheese.  YUM!

                      | I tried the Shepherds Pie bakeover-only I didn't turn it over-I have to make a large quantity & I don't have a platter big enough! It was great! My husband said it was a keeper!! More please! I love these recipes!
