Tupperware *Oval Microwave Cooker*

[ravish30]

Does anyone else love this product?

I am finding that I am really using it alot these days and I have enjoyed playing with it and making some tasty things. I love demo'ing this item at my parties and found that once I got experience using it and started really showing it at my parties, my customers then purchase it.

I made up a booklet of recipes that I also give to my party guests and all of the recipes pertain to this product.

I ask all of my party guests if they work outside their home? Are they pressed for time in the evenings to make homecooked meals? blah blah blah...you get the point.

I think its nice to get orders for them since they are a higher end priced item plus its not a one time use thing! Once they learn how to use it, see what they can make in it and that MOST meals can be done in less then 30 minutes using their microwave, I find I get several orders for them.

Anyone else focusing on this Tupperware product?

At my last home party, this is the recipe we made in it:

Portabello Mushroom Pizzas
