6 servings

5-min prep time | 25-min total time

Ingredients

¼ cup (60 mL) olive oil

1 tsp (5 mL) crushed red pepper flakes

1 tsp (5 mL) Italian Seasoning Mix

1 jar (24 oz./700 mL) marinara

½ cup (125 mL) water

6 eggs

Optional for Serving: Parsley, Parmesan cheese, and toasted bread

Eggs in Purgatory

Directions

1. Place the oil, pepper flakes, and seasoning in the 12" (30-cm) Stainless Steel Skillet and heat over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, or until the pepper flakes and herbs begin to sizzle.

2. Reduce the heat to medium. Slowly and carefully (it will sizzle and spit), stir in the marinara and water (see cook’s tip). Simmer, uncovered, for 5 minutes.

3. Crack the eggs, spaced out evenly, into the sauce. Cover the pan with the lid and turn the heat to low. Cook the eggs for 10–12 minutes for a runny yolk, or to your desired doneness.

4. Serve with a sprinkle of parsley or Parmesan cheese and crusty, toasted, bread for dipping, if you’d like.

Cook’s Tips

• To get every last bit of flavor, put your water in the marinara jar, close it, and shake it before adding the water to the pan.

• Crack your eggs into a small bowl first. It’s an easy way to catch any bits of shell and helps keep the yolks intact when you add them to the pan.

12 servings

15-min prep time | 30-min total time

Ingredients

6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled

¼ cup (60 mL) garden vegetable cream cheese spread

3 tbsp (45 mL) mayonnaise

Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Optional garnishes: Chopped chives, bacon, pickles, radish, favorite seasoning

Fancy Deviled Eggs

Directions

1. Cut the eggs in half using the Decorative Food Cutter. Carefully remove the yolks to a mixing bowl. Mash the yolks with a fork and stir in the cream cheese and mayonnaise until well blended. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

2. Transfer the yolk mixture into a piping bag or plastic bag with the corner snipped. Pipe into the egg whites. Add toppings, if you’d like and serve chilled.

Cook’s Tips

• Cut a very thin slice off of the bottom of the egg whites if you’d like them to sit flat.

• Serve on the Chilled Serving Tray

• Make your hardboiled eggs in the Deluxe Air Fryer & Oven. Set the bottom oven to and adjust the temperature to 250°F (120° C) and the time to 25 minutes. Place the eggs on the Air Fryer Rack. Place in the oven and press . Transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water to cool completely, about 8–10 minutes, before peeling.

Sushi Rice

1 tbsp (15 mL) rice vinegar

1 tbsp (15 mL) sugar

¼ tsp (1 mL) salt

1 cup (250 mL) cooked short grain white rice (sushi rice) or long grain white rice, warm (see cook’s tip)

Rolls

Oil for greasing

2 sticks imitation crab meat, thinly sliced (see cook’s tip)

½ avocado, thinly sliced

¼ seedless cucumber, cut into matchsticks

1 sheet nori seaweed

Optional Toppings: Everything

Bagel Seasoning (or toasted sesame seeds), soy sauce

Homemade California Roll

Directions

1. Combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small bowl until the salt and sugar are completely dissolved. Drizzle the vinegar mixture over the rice in a large bowl and stir gently to coat. Cool to room temperature.

2. Lightly grease the barrel and plunger of the Easy Roll Maker.

3. Fill both sides of the barrel with sushi rice, then press the plunger into both sides to make space for fillings.

4. Add your fillings evenly along the divots.

5. Reattach the plunger, close and latch the barrel, then lock on the end cap.

6. Turn the plunger until it’s past the threads, then gently press until you feel resistance.

7. Place a sheet of nori (shiny side down) on a cutting board and press the rice roll onto it, aligning the ends.

8. Roll up the nori, sealing the edge with a little water.

9. Let it rest a few minutes to soften the nori, then slice into 8–12 pieces.

10. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and serve with soy sauce, if you’d like.

Cook’s Tips

• Traditional sushi rice is made from Japanese short- grain rice. It’s stickier and holds its shape in a roll better than standard long-grain white rice. Both will work in this recipe, but sushi rice will give you the best results.

• You’ll sometimes see imitation crab meat sold as surimi or crab-flavored fish.

2 servings

10-min prep time | 30-min total time

Ingredients

1 tbsp (15 mL) cream of coconut

4. Fill both sides of the barrel with sushi rice, then press the plunger into both sides to make space for fillings.

5. Add your fillings evenly along the divots.

6. Reattach the plunger, close and latch the barrel, then lock on the end cap.

7. Turn the plunger until it’s past the threads, then gently press until you feel resistance.

8. Fill a pie pan with 1" (2.5 cm) of water. Stir in ½–1 tsp (2–5 mL) of food coloring, if you’d like. Dip the rice papers into the water and overlap them to create an 8" x 8" (20-cm x 20 - cm) surface.

9. Place the rice paper on a cutting board and press the rice roll onto it, aligning the ends.

10. Roll up the rice paper around the rice roll.

11. Let the roll rest in the fridge for 10–15 minutes to firm up, then slice into 10–12 pieces.

Cook’s Tip

• Traditional sushi rice is made from Japanese short- grain rice. It’s stickier and holds its shape in a roll better than standard long-grain white rice. Both will work in this recipe, but sushi rice will give you the best results.

4–6 servings

15-min prep time | 1-hr, 45-min total time

Ingredients

1 pkg Carne Asada Meal Mix

3 tbsp (45 mL) vegetable oil

2 lbs. (1 kg) skirt or flank steak

2 cups (500 mL) water

1 pkg Cilantro-Lime Rice Meal Mix

Optional: Salt, 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter or oil

1 pkg (10–12 oz./350 g) frozen corn, cooked per package directions

2 tbsp (30 mL) mayonnaise

4 tsp (20 mL) Street Corn

Seasoning Mix

Optional toppings: Cilantro, tomato or salsa, sour cream, fajita veggies, grated cheese, guacamole

Carne Asada Burrito Bowls

Directions

1. Combine the meal mix and oil in a small bowl.

2. Rub the mixture onto the steak and place in a resealable plastic bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or overnight.

3. Grill the steak over medium-high heat or broil on low until it reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Remove the steak from the grill and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing thinly across the grain.

4. Meanwhile, prepare the rice. Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in the rice mix and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and let it simmer for 6–8 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. Remove the rice from the heat and let it stand for 8–10 minutes, covered, before fluffing with a fork. Stir in the salt and butter or oil, if you’d like.

5. Meanwhile, prepare the street corn. Combine the corn, mayonnaise, and seasoning mix in a bowl. Top with cheese and cilantro, if you’d like.

6. To assemble the bowls, scoop some rice into a serving bowl, top with sliced steak, and some street corn. Add any optional toppings, if you’d like.

Cook’s Tips

• Use leftover steak for meal prep! Place the cooked and sliced steak in an airtight container. Freeze for up to 4 months, defrost in the fridge, heat, and eat!

• Instead of steak, try marinating boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts.

• To make in a stainless steel skillet, heat 1 tbsp (15 mL) of oil in the 12" (30-cm) Stainless Steel Skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated steak and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until well-seared and the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. Remove the meat from the skillet and rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Loaded Cottage Cheese Toast

This no-recipe recipe invites you to improvise in the kitchen.

Directions

Place your favorite bread in the 4-Slice Toaster With Warming Rack . Choose the toast level and press the lever down. Spoon a generous layer of cottage cheese over the warm toast.

Berry & Honey Version

Top with fresh sliced berries, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, granola, or chopped nuts for a crunch.

Veggie Version

Top with sliced cherry tomatoes, chopped cucumber, and sliced avocado. Finish with a sprinkle of Everything Bagel Seasoning Mix , a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Cook’s Tip

• Make these toasts your own by swapping in seasonal toppings. Try roasted veggies, smoked salmon, or chili crisp for savory, or sliced stone fruit, nut butter, or cocoa nibs for sweet. If you prefer a smoother, cream-cheese–like texture, blend the cottage cheese first in the Electric Twist & Chop until it's creamy before spreading.

How to Make Amazing Toast

1. Start With the Base

Pick a base that sets the tone: sourdough for hearty, whole grain for filling, brioche or challah for indulgent. Lightly toasting is usually best—you want crunch with a soft center to hold toppings.

3. Build With Toppings

Mix and match toppings to make toast fun any time of day. Add fresh fruits, cheeses, veggies, spreads, or proteins to create quick, satisfying bites.

2. Pick a Spread

Spreads add flavor and help toppings stick. Try cream cheese, whipped ricotta, or cottage cheese, or go savory with avocado, hummus, nut butter, or pesto.

4. Finish Strong

Drizzle with honey or hot sauce, sprinkle fresh herbs or microgreens, or season with everything bagel seasoning, flaky salt, or cracked pepper.
