]]> Simple and surprisingly delicious cocktail wieners for your next party. I remember decades ago needing an appetizer for a youth group party. One of the organizers said these were good and simple to make in a slow cooker, and he gave me the recipe. He was right. They were a hit. I have adjusted the recipe to be made in a HOTLOGIC®.

I tried this recipe with Vienna sausages and with Hillshire Farm Beef Lit’L Smokies®. I liked the Lit’l Smokies best, but the Vienna sausages are available in different flavors, such as smoked flavored. The different flavors may work well with the recipe.

]]> Bagel Chips made in a HOTLOGIC® are a delicious, crunchy and addictive snack. After successfully making crunchy dog treats in my HOTLOGIC®, I wanted to see if I could make a favorite snack of mine, bagel chips.

I found a recipe online and saw that it was possible. It took me a few tries to get the butter and spices just right. My No. 1 Taste Tester did not mind testing all the batches. Her face lights up with anticipation whenever I make a batch. She enjoys them just as much as I do. Because her family like hot and spicy food, I tried using the jalapeno cheese bagels our local store carries. They turned out delicious.

The recipe makes the best-looking chips by using uncut bagels. I found them by the bakery at my local grocery store. Also for looks, I include parsley in the butter mixture. I think the final product looks better with it.

The parmesan works well with the plain bagel. The shredded parmesan looks especially nice. You may wish to experiment topping the plain bagel with other hard cheeses. It isn’t needed for asiago cheese bagels or jalapeno cheese bagels.

Bagel Chips

Course Appetizer, Snack
Cuisine American
Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 10 hours
Servings 3

Ingredients

  • 1 ea bagel, uncut
  • 2 T butter, unsalted, softened
  • ½ t garlic powder
  • ½ t onion powder
  • ¼ t salt
  • 1 t parsley, dried
  • 1 T parmesan cheese, grated or shredded (optional)

Instructions

  • In small bowl mix softened butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, parsley and cheese. Set aside.
  • Place bagel flat on cutting board. With a bread knife or serrated knife slice down to cut in half. like you are changing an "O" into parentheses "(" and ")".
  • Perpendicular to your first cut, make slices ¼"-⅓" apart to make the chips. Repeat with the other half.
  • Spread the butter mixture thinly on one side of the chip.
  • In your HOTLOGIC® place a paper towel directly on top of the heating plate. This will soak up the melting butter. On top of the paper towel place a piece of parchment paper or a grilling mat.
  • Lay the chips flat, butter-side up. After the bottom is full, lay the next layer on top, butter-side up.
  • Plug in the HOTLOGIC® and zip it up.
  • Leave overnight. If some chips aren't crisp in the morning, rotate them to the bottom layer and wait about an hour more.

Notes

If you are using a HOTLOGIC® Family size, you can bake 2 bagels worth of chips. They will still dry to chips if they are layered 3 deep. You may need to rotate the top to the bottom in the morning. Also, if you are concerned about the HOTLOGIC® lid touching the butter, you can place a sheet of parchment paper and a paper towel sheet on top.

]]> You CAN bake delicious, crunchy, pumpkin & quinoa dog treats in your HOTLOGIC®. These treats have my dogs’ approval. I prepare them in the evening and bake them overnight. When I check them in the morning, they sometimes need another hour to finish.

I have used the silicon, mini bone molds, but the treats are very tiny. For me it was not worth the effort to fill the molds to get such tiny treats.

If you decide to use a silicon mold, it will bake well and dry some. After the bones are set, I like to dump them onto a grilling mat on the HOTLOGIC® plate to finish baking them to a crisp.

I find it much easier to use half the mixture to form a rectangular patty 1/3″ thick on a grilling mat. I use a butter knife to pat it into shape and then cut it into 12 or 16 squares before baking. The other half goes in the refrigerator in an airtight container to be baked later.

Optional bakeware: silicone dog bone mold

Want a crunchy treat for a human? Try the bagel chips. The success with the dog treats inspired me to see it I could make bagel chips. I am glad I did. They turned out to be quite delicious and addictive.

  • Melt coconut oil in heat safe container in HOTLOGIC®.
  • In medium size bowl combine oil, maple syrup, chia seed and cinnamon.
  • Add quinoa and puree to mixture and mix well. Let set for 5 minutes for chia seeds to absorb moisture and form gel.
  • Method I: On heat safe cooking surface such as aluminum, parchment paper or grill mat place mixture. Use a butter knife to smooth and form a rectangle that is 1/3" high and leaves a 1/2" around the edge of the cooking surface. Cut 12-16 squares into the mixture.
  • Method 2: Pack mixture into silicon mold.
  • For Method I place a paper towel down first on the HOTLOGIC® hot plate. Then place the prepared mixture on cooking surface. Plug in the HOTLOGIC® and zip shut.
  • For Method II the mold can be place directly on the HOTLOGIC® hot plate. The silicon will heat up and distribute the heat. Plug in the HOTLOGIC® and zip shut.
  • Place the remaining mixture in an airtight container and store in refrigerator until ready to bake.
  • Bake for 9 hours if the mixture is 1/3" thick, 12 hours if 1/2" thick or until crunchy. The biscuits in the silicon mold may need to be dumped on a paper towel on the plate to finish crisping. The treats may crisp more after cooling.

]]> Clotted cream is a delicious condiment to spread on scones (biscuits in the US). It tastes like buttery, whipped cream. I enjoyed this condiment when I visited Europe and wanted to be able to enjoy it again in the United States. It is super simple to make, especially in a HOTLOGIC®.

First, you need to locate heavy cream that is NOT ultra-pasteurized.

Then pour about an inch of cream in a heat safe dish placed in your HOTLOGIC®.

Zip the HOTLOGIC® shut and leave for 12 hours. It will look similar to the picture.

Place in the refrigerator for 8 hours.

Scrap out the solids on top.

You can mix the yellow solids with the white cream for smoother, clotted cream.

The remaining liquid, whey, can be put back in the HOTLOGIC® to get a bit more clotted cream.

The whey can be used as a substitute for water in smoothies or baking.

Half a gallon of heavy cream made about 2 cups of clotted cream. If you don’t use it too fast, it will last for a while in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will, also, freeze well.

Scones are something that cannot be made in a HOTLOGIC®, but they can be warmed up. If you would like to make homemade scones in a conventional oven, try Gemma’s Best Ever Irish Scones – Gemma’s Bigger Bolder Baking.

  • After 12 hours, place the dish in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
  • Remove from refrigerator and scrap off the solids on top to place in an airtight container. Stir, if desired.
  • The remaining liquid is whey. It can be cooked again for 12 hours and cooled for 8 hours to get the last bit of cream.

Notes

The whey (left over liquid) can be used as a substitute for water in smoothies or baking or can be discarded.
