Cup cakes in Saladmaster!

Equipment: 11" skillet and egg cups. If you do not have egg cups, use the rims of mason jars or something that can fit cupcake liners like salsa cups.

Ingredients:

Paper towel

1/2 box of cake mix (I used white cake)

1 egg

6-oz yogurt (I used pineapple flavored; 1-2 tsp. vanilla extract is also good if you use plain yogurt)

Water as needed

Cup cake liners, optional

**For a whole box of cake, use 3 eggs and 2, 6-oz yogurts

Directions:

1. Preheat 11" skillet on medium-low (when the flame is just below the skillet (More on the medium side unless you have a hot stove). Add a very wet paper towel to the bottom. I would add even a little bit of water the skillet (~3 tablespoons). Place lid on top.

2. Mix cake, egg and yogurt. Add a little bit of water to the mixture until it is smooth and just slightly thinner than yogurt put not as thin as pancake batter. Fill cups 2/3 to 3/4 full. Any more and your cupcake will rise funny and look like a puff cake. (See the picture of cupcakes on a plate.) If not using the cupcake liners, spray with non-stick spray.



3. Slightly tap the lid of the skillet to see if it is hot. Lift lid and place 8 cupcakes inside. Wait 12-14 minutes and voilà! The most moist cupcakes ever!

Pot Roast- Electric skillet or MP5

Equipment: Electric skillet or MP5

Ingredients:
2 1/2 pounds of beef sirloin or chuck roast (about 2" thick)
Pepper, to taste
1 onion*
1-4 pieces of celery*
3-6 red potatoes*
6 medium carrots*
1 tablespoon of balsamic vinegar, optional

*Cut pieces into your own preferred sizes. Potatoes can be left whole. I used the #5 cone for the carrots and potatoes and chopped celery and onions into 1" pieces and various sizes.


Directions:
Preheat Electric skillet or MP5/slow cooker to 350 degrees. Place meat on hot skillet. Cover and seat for 6 minutes then turn over and brown other side for 3 minutes.

Sprinkle pepper on top. Arrange onion and celery on top of meat and place carrots and potato on the sides. Place lid on top and  wait for the click. Let it keep clicking until it sticks straight up. Wait 5-10 minutes before turning it down to 185 degrees.

Leave on for 1.5 hours or longer if desired.

Cut beef across the grain and stir vinegar into juices and drizzle over beef.

(Goes great with flavored rice or orzo.)
