Ingredients

• 1 box (17oz) of Krusteaz almond poppy-seed muffin mix
• 1 cup of water
• 1/4 cup of vegetable oil
• 1 egg

Method

1. Prepare batter per the instructions on the box.
2. Coat the bottom of two 6'' x 3.75” x 2” aluminum foil loaf pans with spray cooking oil or butter. Transfer batter to the loaf pans.
3. Pour two cups of water in the Speedi pot. Put tins onto tray in lower position.
4. Steam/bake for 28 minutes.  At this stage the top will be done, but the bottom won't so...
5. Open the lid, and switch to the Sear/Saute setting on Hi5 for 12 minutes.  Leave the lid open/up for this step.
6. Remove, cool, and give the loaves to your neighborS.

Ingredients

Loaves

• 6 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1/4 cup milk, room temperature
• Zest of 1 large orange (minus 1 tsp reserved for glaze)
• 1/4 cup orange juice, freshly squeezed
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries, rinsed and patted dry
• 1/2 Tbsp all-purpose flour

Cut sausage into coins.  Place tray in upper position.  Put coins on tray in a single layer.  Cook at 400°F on the Broil setting.

Ingredients

• 4 Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1” chunks
• Frozen broccoli florets, enough to cover the bottom of the pot
• 1 tbsp Mae Ploy green curry paste, which should be available in the Asian section of huge gringo grocery stores or the Thai section of Asian grocery stores
• 4 Russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1” chunks
• Frozen broccoli florets, enough to cover the bottom of the pot
• 1 tbsp Mae Ploy green curry paste, which should be available in the Asian section of huge gringo grocery stores or the Thai section of Asian grocery stores
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• Spices:
  Garlic powder
  Onion powder
  Pepper
  Chives
  Parsley
  Salt
• 4-6 cups of water

Method

1. Remove tray. Pour 2 cups of water in the pot. Add green curry paste. Whisk until the paste is dissolved in the water.
2. Pour broccoli into pot. Add enough water so that it comes half-way up the broccoli.
3. In a separate bowl toss the potatoes with the olive oil.
4. Sprinkle the spices all over the potatoes and toss the potatoes so that they are all coated.
5. Put tray in upper position. Place potatoes on tray in a single layer.
6. Set the Speedi to Speedi meals at 400°F for 11 minutes.

Ingredients

• 1 cup dry green lentils
• 1 yellow onion, chopped 8.5 oz
• 1 can of coconut milk, about 13-14 oz.
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 small banana, 4 oz, sliced into coins
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2.5 cups of water
• 1 tbsp hot curry powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 fresh apple, chopped roughly

Method

1. Remove the crispr tray.  For this recipe we will cook directly in the pot.
2. Set the Speedi to sear/saute Hi5.  This portion of the recipe we will be working with the lid up, not down.
3. Olive oil and onions into the pot.  Cook until translucent.
4. Add the curry powder and minced garlic and mix a bit.  Cook for a minute or two.  If the garlic becomes fragrant, that's enough time, but with the curry smell you might not be able to notice that.
5. Add coconut milk, water, banana, and salt.  Stir occasionally until the liquid starts to simmer.
6. Add lentils.  Stir occasionally until the mix starts to simmer again.
7. Turn off the Speedi.  Close the lid.  Set to steam for 25 minutes.  Check for doneness.  If the lentils are still too hard (unlikely), then give them another 5 minutes on steam.
8. Once cooking is done, mix chopped apple in with lentils and serve.

This approach comes from Sirkristof's suggestion in a Reddit discussion of making rice in the Speedi/Foodi ( source and discussion of variations ), although, truth to tell, it's exactly the same way my mother always used to cook rice on the stovetop.

• Remove tray from Speedi
• Pour 1 cup of long-grain enriched rice in pot
• Pour 2 cups of water in pot
• Put Speedi on steam setting for ten minutes

Obvious variations:

• Add a quarter teaspoon of salt at cooking time; or
• use broth or bouillion instead of water.

And the other obvious stuff:

• If you use a different type of rice, the time and water content may need to be adjusted.
• You may also have to adjust time or water content according to elevation.  I'm cooking at about 1200 feet above sea level.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup of butter or shortening. Melted butter speeds the process.
• 1 cup of sugar
• 1 egg
• 1 cup of applesauce
• 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup cocoa powder (sugarless, not instant cocoa)
• 1 tbsp instant coffee crystals/powder (okay, I usually skip this)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp allspice
• 1 tsp baking soda

Method

1. Cream butter/shortening with sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add egg. Beat well. Stir in applesauce.
3. Mix flour, cocoa, spices and baking soda. Sift three times. (I don't have a big sifter, so I just used my regular wire sieve; that worked great.)
4. Stir the dry mixture into the wet ingredients.
5. Coat the bottom of two 6'' x 3.75” x 2” aluminum foil loaf pans with spray cooking oil or butter. Transfer batter to the loaf pans.
6. Pour two cups of water in Speedi pot. Put tins onto tray in lower position. Set steam/bake for 18 minutes at 315°F. With the steaming this may take as long as 45 minutes. Don't panic.
7. Check for doneness with a toothpick. Remove promptly from Speedi.

This recipe I took straight from a YouTube crockpot recipe. Didn't need any changes whatsoever.  Worked perfect the first time. (source)

Ingredients

• 2 chicken breasts
• 2 cans of condensed cream of chicken soup
• 1 can of chicken broth
• 2 six-ounce boxes of dry stuffing mix or one 10.5-ounce bag.

Method

1. Remove tray from pot. You won't need it for this recipe.
2. Place chicken breasts in bottom of pot and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Pour the stuffing mix over the chicken. Even it out so all the chicken is covered.
4. In a separate bowl combine the cream of chicken soup and chicken broth and whisk to a smooth consistency.
5. Pour the soup/broth mix over the stuffing so that all the stuffing is covered.
6. Set the Speedi to slow cook on low.
7. After 4, 5, and 5.5 hours, check to see if the dressing is too dry. If so, put some chicken broth in a glass measuring cup, heat it in the microwave just shy of boiling, and pour the broth in the pot. (If you use room temperature broth it will extend the cooking time.)
8. After six hours confirm that the chicken shreds roughly and easily with two forks. If the chicken is not tender, give it another hour or two on low.

Comments

This worked fine the first time. Only needed six hours. It's not a particularly interesting dish, but it's flavorful enough and awfully easy to prepare. Next time around I'll try four chicken breasts.

This afternoon I bought some bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers at Fry's Groceries.  (That's a Kroger-branded store; it might be named differently in your area.)

I put the tray in the low position, poppers on the tray, and set the Speedi to Air Fry at 350°F for 14 minutes.  Came out pretty well perfect.

One caveat:  make sure place them cream-cheese side up.  These were so thoroughly wrapped with bacon that I got one of them wrong.  The cheese melted through the tray.  It wasn't pretty.

2023-11-07:  I basically tried to use the Chicken Broccoli Alfredo recipe from the Speedi recipe book that came with the Speedi.  The sausages turned black outside although, praise Heaven, they didn't have a burnt taste.  Next time instead of using the whole fifteen minutes on the sausage, I think I should put it on Speedi meals for 5 minutes, then add the sausage in and set it for 10 more minutes.
