Baked (& Grilled) Sweet Potatoes*, By: Gwen Sparrow, July 24, 2018
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes - scrubbed clean, cut in half
salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
cooking spray
oil
butter (optional)
chosen toppings
Directions:
Spray the RangeMate 5-in-1 Grill Pan with cooking spray. Place the sweet potatoes, cut side up, in RMP. Spray or brush with oil. Season. Cook uncovered for 5-7 minutes until softened. Remove and flip, cut side down. Continue cooking uncovered for 2-4 minutes, or until fork penetrates easily and grill marks are visible. Brush with butter, (optional.) Top with your choice of toppings. (I recommend swapping out sour cream for ranch dressing.) Cheese, French fried onions, bacon bits, and chives are all good to compliment the sweetness.
Notes: for maximum nutrition (yes, I'm bringing up nutrition in something I've slathered in ranch dressing and crunchy onions) you'll want to eat the skin, but I actually like it better than potato skin. I love when nutrition tastes yummy. I'd planned on this being two meals, but I appear to have eaten them all. Curses!

Bone-In Poultry Cooking Instructions from The RangeMate Pro Team
We have found that because of their thickness and the reduced conductivity provided by the bones, that we get best results, by not pre-heating. Cooking for 3 minutes on one side, turning and cooking for another 2 minutes, turning and cooking until it reaches 165°F. How long it takes will depend on the size of the legs and thighs. For boneless thighs, we cook them the same was as breasts, unless they are really thick, in which case I will use the method described above.

Brownies – Pillsbury Family Size Dark Chocolate*, By: Aurelia Dougan McCollom, April 12, 2017
I followed the box directions for ingredients and mixing.
I added 1 cup chopped walnuts at the end and mixed.

Sprayed silicone muffin baker with PAM

Buttery Toasted Lemon Orzo with Capers*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 18, 2018
Ingredients:
1 cup orzo (uncooked)
1½ cup water
3 Tbs. butter
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup capers
lemon pepper, to taste
Directions:
In uncovered grill, melt butter for one minute. Add orzo and stir to coat in butter. Leaving uncovered, toast orzo to a golden brown, stirring frequently. (Approximately 4 minutes.) Stir in water, lemon juice, and lemon pepper. Cover and cook 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until orzo is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir in capers and leave uncovered for five minutes.
Can be served hot or cold.
If this seems like a glorified "roni" meal, it really is. Limitless variations are possible like mushrooms and cheese or chicken and garlic. I'm a bit pretentious and like capers, but chicken would work too. Maybe even shrimp if you wanted to get super fancy. I made it with zucchini and cheese last night by sautéing the zucchini in the butter and setting it aside before toasting the orzo without rinsing the grill. The cheese was stirred in at the end like the capers. You could also sub in a broth instead of water for more flavor.
Added comment - because of splattering, it is suggested that you use the lid when heating butter. After melted, and adding ingredients, the lid can remain off, if necessary.

Chicken Grillers*, By, Aurelia Dougan McCollom, July 18, 2018
“Great on the Grill,
Easy in the Oven.”
…..BUT…..
“The Best in the RangeMate Pro.”
Our local HyVee grocery prepares a variety of stuffed chicken breasts in different flavors. I purchased the “Cowgirl.” It is a chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms, green peppers, & Monterey Jack cheese, BBQ seasoning, wrapped in bacon.
Ingredients:
2 (8 oz. each) chicken grillers
Directions:
Preheat the RMP for 4 minutes without the lid. While preheating, I removed the green pepper from the top of the chicken.
After preheating, spray the grill with olive oil. (I use my EVO sprayer and just spritzed a couple of times.)
Place both chicken grillers in the RMP and place the lid. Cook for 4 minutes. (Because the chicken produced more liquid than I wanted, I used tongs and paper towels to absorb the excess.)
Turn the grillers and cook for another 4 minutes. If needed keep absorbing more liquid if necessary.
Turn the grillers again for another 4 minutes. Finally, on the last turn, cook for 2 minutes. Remove the lid and place the green pepper on top. Return the lid and continue for the additional 2 minutes.
The internal temperature was 165°F.
Total cooking time was 16 minutes. (8 minutes for each side)
My microwave is 1250 watts.

Top with ¼ cup sir fry sauce before serving. Really easy and very good!
*This meal was fixed in the “OLD” Range Mate. My total cook time was 9 minutes. Adjust your time cooking if you have the RangeMate Pro, and make a notation of the time.

Curd Sandwich*, By: Gwen Sparrow, October 18, 2018
Ingredients:
2 Tbs. Greek Plain Yogurt (it needs to be thick)
2 Tbs. savory filling or diced meat
Sourdough bread
1 tsp. olive oil
Directions:
Preheat RMP one minute. Spread olive oil in pan. On each slice of the bread, spread yogurt and filling or meat. Set assembled sandwich in RMP. Cook uncovered 2 minutes. Flip. Cook uncovered another 2 minutes. Serve hot.
Notes: A more complex version of this is called Dahi Toast, and I'm sure that could be made in the RMP. I put sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic on this one, but I've had jarred artichokes, diced and dried. I'm guessing that it tastes delicious with various meats. The yogurt thickens and tastes awesome, basically this ends up similar to a grilled cheese sandwich. If you're not a fan of sourdough, sub out for a sturdy bread.

Eggs: Scrambled (also for Omelets)*, By: Aurelia Dougan McCollom, August 23, 2018
Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 Tbs. butter
seasonings of choice
Directions:
Add butter to the RangeMate Pro 5-in-1 Grill Pan. Place the lid and cook 1½ minutes. (I use a silicone spatula to swirl the butter to cover after melting.)
Whip the eggs. Add to the grill pan. Season with salt & pepper, or other seasonings if desired. Place the lid and cook 1½ minutes. (For an omelet, at this time add your ingredients. I used onion, bacon, cheese, red & green pepper.) Replace the lid and cook an additional 30 seconds to melt cheese. If needed cook in 30 second increments until you find your perfect time.
Tip: Let sit for 30 seconds.
My microwave is 1250 watts.

Eggs in a Nest*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 14, 2018
Ingredients:
2 slices of bread or 1 croissant, cut in half
2 eggs
Butter or cooking spray
Directions:
Cut or a punch a hole in the center of the bread or croissant, roughly the size of a dollar coin or an egg yolk. If using a croissant, lightly spray grill with cooking spray, and place croissant with the cut side down. If using bread, lightly butter both sides of bread before placing in grill. Place in your RangeMate Pro Grill. Cover and microwave for one minute. Flip bread or croissant over and crack egg over the top so the yolk is in the hole. Do not place the lid. Cook for one minute. Carefully flip the bread. Microwave, uncovered, in thirty second increments until yolk is to your liking.
These are also called “Eggs in a Frame, Jailed Eggs, Eggs in a Hole, and Bull's Eye Eggs.”

Eggs in Purgatory*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 30, 2018
Ingredients:
2-4 eggs
1½ cups marinara sauce
½ cup water
1/8-½ tsp. red pepper flakes (cayenne or chili powder) to taste and desired heat level – (all optional in use)
½ cup diced vegetables - (optional) (onions, mushrooms, zucchini, eggplant, green peppers, etc.)
1-2 tsp. olive oil
½ cup shredded cheese or ¼ cup grated Parmesan (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
In your covered RMP, sauté in olive oil any desired vegetables until softened, stirring, and checking every 2 minutes. Add marinara, water and pepper flakes (or other heat source) and stir. Cover and cook 3-6 minutes in the RMP until sauce is bubbling, stirring frequently. Create wells in sauce and drop eggs to cook. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook 3-5 minutes, (checking after 3 minutes and each 30 seconds thereafter), until the whites of the eggs are completely opaque. Sprinkle with cheese or grated Parmesan and serve with toasted bread.
Notes: I used eggplant, zucchini, Brussel sprouts, mushrooms, and onions in this recipe. A garden vegetable marinara sauce was also used.

French Dip Sandwiches*, By: Gwen Sparrow, August 12, 2018
We have this once or twice a week, but I start with a grilled cheese made by just omitting the meat for those of us who don't eat meat. It's the closest we get to all eating the same meal generally. But in roughly 10 minutes, dinner is served.
Ingredients:
hoagie rolls
roast beef
cheese (usually provolone or Swiss)
mayonnaise (optional)
butter or cooking spray
aus jus or beef broth
Directions:
Preheat the RMP for one minute. Rub butter or use cooking spray on the grill. Split open a roll and put cut side down, making sure it absorbs some of the butter. Cook, uncovered, for one minute. Flip. Leaving open-faced, pile roast beef and cheese on both sides. Cook, uncovered, for one minute. Add mayo if desired. Close and serve with warm aus jus. If making multiple sandwiches, there's no need to preheat between sandwiches.
Notes: You can also add sautéed mushrooms, peppers, or onions before that final one minute in the microwave if you want to get fancy. And if you like flavored mayo, that's also an interesting twist.

French Toast, By: Sandy Troy, June 24, 2020
Ingredients:
thick slices sour dough bread – or bread of choice
egg with cream or half & half, cinnamon, & vanilla extract – or your favorite French toast egg mixture
Directions:
Heat the RangeMate Pro with lid off 4 minutes. While preheating, soak the bread in the egg mixture. When ready, lightly spray the pan with cooking spray. Place the bread in the pan. Cover and microwave on high 1½ minutes. Remove and turn the bread over to brown the opposite side. Place the lid. Continue cooking for 1½ minutes. Thickness of the bread and your microwave may require slightly different cooking time. Microwave wattage on this appliance is 1200.

French Toast Muffins*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 23,2018
Ingredients:
3 eggs, beaten
5 pieces of bread or a sweet bread (like cinnamon raisin), cut into ½-inch cubes
¼ cup maple syrup
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. cinnamon (if not using a sweet bread, you might prefer more)
½ tsp. salt
Directions:
In a gallon-size bag, combine all ingredients, allowing bread to absorb liquid. Put ½ cup water into RMP. Add the steamer insert. Divide all batter between the RMP silicone muffin tray. (Do not grease individual inserts.) Put the muffin tray on the steamer insert and cook uncovered for 7-9 minutes, or until muffins are cooked through. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes: this was my second attempt at adapting this recipe. It tastes entirely like bread pudding. Adding ice cream or whipped cream, you could call this a dessert. I think that's due to the limitations in browning baked goods in the RMP.
Using different sweet breads give you many options. An apple cinnamon bread was used in this recipe, but we frequently have blueberry bread on hand.

Frittata*, By: Gwen Sparrow, January 25, 2019
Ingredients:
6 eggs, whisked and seasoned as desired
½ cup shredded cheese
1 to 1½ cups cooked vegetables or meats (potatoes, mushrooms, bacon, etc.)
Directions:
If cooking vegetables, do that first in your RMP. (For example, I cheat and use frozen hash browns and onions that I cook in olive oil in the RMP, uncovered for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.)
If your add-ins are already cooked, preheat the RMP for 2 minutes, uncovered. Spray RMP with cooking spray. Spread "add-ins" in the RMP. Sprinkle with ½ of the cheese. Add in beaten eggs. Top with remaining cheese. If you didn't already season your eggs with salt, pepper, etc., this is your last chance.
Cook, uncovered, at 50% power for 12-14 minutes or until no liquid remains.
(My microwave is 1100 watt and I live at sea level.)
Notes: this is a good "whatever is in the fridge" meal. I had fresh mushrooms that I tossed in with the frozen hash browns and onions today when I was cooking them. I've made it with leftover Brussel sprouts and bacon. Sometimes spinach. Sometimes peppers. If you're allergic to dairy, you can cut out the cheese with my blessing; I do sometimes. You could add milk or cream to your eggs to make them fluffier and the dish creamier, but you'll want to adjust the cooking time accordingly. I'm too lazy, impatient, and lactose intolerant for that. Also, if you've gone wild with add-ins, you may need to add more eggs. Adjust cooking time accordingly. *Pictured are several frittatas with varying ingredients.

Full-Size Quiche*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 22,2018
Ingredients:
1 prepared, refrigerated pie crust
1½ cups filling, precooked, drained of liquid (for example: spinach and mushrooms were used here)
6 eggs
½ cup milk (cream or half & half can be substituted)
¾ cup shredded cheese
salt and pepper - to taste
Directions:
Using a fork, liberally stab the uncooked crust, including the sides. This is crucial for cooking the crust so don't be shy. Place in the RangeMate Pro 5-in-1 Grill Pan. Press lightly against the sides. Whisk together remaining ingredients. (Optional: reserve ¼ cup cheese to sprinkle on top at the end.) Pour ingredients, evenly, into uncooked pie crust. Cook, uncovered, at 30% power for 12 minutes. Cook, uncovered, at 50% power for 20 minutes. Fork should come away cleanly when inserted. Continue cooking, checking frequently, if necessary.
Even though this doesn't save a lot of baking time, it does let you use your microwave, saving you heating up the kitchen with the oven.
Other ingredient options: bacon, ham, or sausage. You could also add artichokes, onions, or asparagus. I used an Italian cheese blend, but a cheddar blend or Swiss cheese also would work.
****
Garlic Texas Toast*
Ingredients:

Turn the toast over and replace the lid. Cook for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute. Check for grill marks after the 30 seconds.
My microwave is 1250 watts. They were perfect!

Grilled Artichoke*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 7, 2018
Ingredients:
1 artichoke
1 Tbs. butter or olive oil
Salt, pepper, garlic powder, to taste
cooking spray
Directions:
Trim the artichoke by cutting off the top 1-inch and trimming ½-inch from the stem. Either peel or cut off outside skin of stem. Cut in half. Using a spoon, remove fuzzy insides and purple-tipped leaves. Add the silicone steam insert. Add ¾ cup water to the RMP Grill Pan. Steam both halves until a fork penetrates heart easily. Test after 15 minutes of cooking. It is possible to cook as long as 20 minutes, depending on the size of the artichoke. Remove the artichoke and set aside. Remove the steam insert. Pour out excess water. Carefully wipe dry. Spray grill lightly with cooking spray.

Grilled Cheese Hot Dog*, By: Aurelia Dougan McCollom, May 1, 2017
So, I found this floating around on the news feed, so I adapted it to the RMP. Pretty Tasty!
Ingredients:
1 hot dog
1 hot dog bun
Butter, soften
garlic powder, to taste
onion powder, to taste
Shredded cheddar cheese
mustard - optional
Directions:
Mix the softened butter with the garlic and onion powder. Flatten the hot dog bun with your hand, but do not separate. Spread the mixture on the outside of the bun.
Split the hot dog, but do not cut all the way through.
Place the hot dog split side down in your RMP 5-in-1 Grill Pan. Place the lid. Grill for 3 minutes. You should have some nice grill marks at this time, if not add another 30 seconds. (I only grilled one side).
Move to the side. Place the split hot dog bun, buttered side down in the RMP. Add some shredded cheese to both sides of the bun. Place the hot dog on one side and top with more cheese.
Place the lid. Grill for 1 minute, (the pan is already hot). (I actually cooked it for 2 minutes. That was a little long. I forgot to take into account the pan was hot). Check after 1 minute for your desired doneness. Increase cooking time in 30 second increments if needed. Remove.
Top with mustard. Close the bun and enjoy!
It was nice and crispy. It had a great “crunch”!

Grilled German Pancake- (A Dutch Baby)*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 7, 2018
Ingredients:
2 Tbs. butter
3 eggs
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup milk
Dash salt
Directions:
Add the butter to the RangeMate Pro Grill Pan. Cover. Cook for 1½ minutes to brown the butter. Tip the pan to spread evenly over the grill and allow to cool while mixing the ingredients.
In a small blender or with a hand mixer, blend together the remaining ingredients until frothy. Add to the RangeMate Pro. Cover. Microwave for 2 minutes. Carefully flip pancake, allowing uncooked batter to settle underneath. Return to the microwave and cook covered, for 1½ minutes. At this point, it should flip easily. If needed, cook in 30 second increments until adequately browned. You can eat as is, or top with sugar, syrup, or jam.
Added Comment - A Dutch Baby! is another name for the pancake. If you do a search on Google for savory Dutch Babies, besides possibly getting some weird unintentional results, you should see alternative toppings. If you look at just images of Dutch Babies, once again ignoring weird results, you'll see the vast choices available.
BTW, this works very well for a gluten free or dairy free conversion. I was using soy milk up until this last batch. And I've done gluten free in the past with the original recipe.
I have used a locally made marionberry syrup. I have also had it with granulated sugar, various syrups, jams, and whipped cream.
There's a very similar dish that uses this as the base for savory dishes, for topping it with taco fixings or chili. And you could easily add seasonings to the batter to make it savory. You can also top with freshly cut strawberries and whipped cream, or orange marmalade.

Grilled Tilapia*, By: Jeff Skinner, January 3, 2020
Ingredients:
1-2 tilapia filets
seasonings of choice
½-1 tsp oil per filet* this was not mentioned in the original recipe, but this is my suggestion to prevent filet from sticking. – Aurelia Dougan McCollom, Admin.

To do that: I sliced a whole onion. I took 4 slices and separated them into rings. I placed in a bowl with a little oil, and tossed to coat. After the RMP was heated for the 4 minutes, I placed the burgers with the onions around the burgers. When I flipped the burgers, I also flipped the onions. They were perfect! Really nice grill marks!
I also melted Provolone cheese on 2 of the burgers; the last 1 minute of cooking.
No standing out in the RAIN for a "grilled cheeseburger!"

Lemon Chicken, By:Susie Wells, June 29, 2018
Here is a recipe I adapted for RangeMate Pro 5-in1 Grill Pan from an oven recipe. I’ve made it several times. It’s very good. I use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. If it’s not, then I flipped it over and cooked it a minute longer. Just had to make sure the breading on the chicken didn’t get over done. It came out great! For a trial and error, I’m impressed.

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
3 Tbs. butter, melted
2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs
Directions:
Combine butter, lemon juice, garlic, salt & pepper in a shallow dish. Place bread crumbs in another dish.

Lobster, By: Janet Tarrant, August 7, 2018
So, I wanted to treat myself to a 4 oz. lobster tail tonight. Wasn't sure how it would cook but oh boy it was good. Was going to take a picture but I scarfed it down.
Ingredients:
4 oz. lobster tail
olive oil
butter spray
Pepper and garlic, to taste
Directions:
While preheating your RangeMate Pro for 4 minutes, split the lobster down the middle to open it. After preheating add a small amount of olive oil to the heated pan. Placed the lobster meat side down. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Use a butter spray, pepper and garlic to season the top.
The meat was very easy to remove meat from shell.
The flavor is very good. So much better than when it is boiled on the stove top.

Steak Marinade, August 6, 2017
Ingredients:
½ cup Soy Sauce
2 Tbs. olive oil
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp Season All {or any type of all-purpose seasoning salt}
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
Directions:
Put a gallon-sized Ziploc bag in a bowl and add all the ingredients of the marinade to the bag. (The bowl helps keep the bag upright and in place.)
Seal the bag and shake the bag around a bit, as well as squish it around with your hands to mix all the ingredients.
*Optional – I place the marinade in my Lock & Lock, or my Food Saver. Both will infuse the seasonings into the meat. I do turn once and hour*.
Add the steak and squish it all around again, until the marinade covers the steak.
Allow to marinate for 3-6 hours, depending on the thickness of your steak.
Grill steak 2-6 minutes per side, depending on the type of steak used and overall thickness. Enjoy!

Meatloaf*, By: Gwen Sparrow, July 24, 2018
Ingredients:
2 lbs. lean ground beef (or turkey)
3 slices bread, torn into small pieces
2 eggs
½ cup French fried crunchy onions
3 Tbs. ketchup
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper - to taste
garlic powder – to taste, optional
Directions:
Combine your ingredients in a bowl, reserving 2 Tbs. of the ketchup. Press into a cake shape (round) in the RMP. (I left a small gap around the edge.) Top with the remaining ketchup. Cook, covered, at 50% power for 12 minutes. Remove from the microwave and remove the lid. Return and continue cooking, uncovered, at 50% power for 14 minutes or until internal temperature is at least 160 degrees.
Notes: It surprised me how quickly this cooked. When I checked the temperature, I thought I'd accidentally touched the bottom. French fried onions are what is normally added to green bean casseroles. I use them on baked potatoes, salads, chili, and so on so we always have them on hand.
Usually my meatloaf shrinks in the oven but didn't. It was super moist and delicious. I might like this better than in the. You might be able to leave the cover on the entire time, but I wanted to ensure it was cooked through. Everyone went back for seconds and it's all gone.

Mesquite Grilled Frozen Chicken Fillets*, By: Connie Eastman Lewis, June 7, 2017
Another yummy meal in my RMP. Mesquite Grilled Frozen Chicken Fillets (these come frozen in a bag and I think I got them at Sam's Club). Asparagus with a little EVO drizzled over them in a bag with a little salt and some garlic powder. Preheat the pan without the lid for 3 minutes. I drizzled just a little coconut oil in the pan, added the chicken and asparagus and cooked for 4 minutes. Flipped the chicken over and used tongs to turn the asparagus over then cooked for 4 more minutes. Took the chicken out and sprinkled some fresh grated parmesan on the asparagus and cooked another minute. The chicken was so tender and moist and the asparagus was also very tender the way I like it. My microwave is only 900 watts so you may want to adjust the time. I always use a temperature probe for chicken.

Mission Tortilla Pizza*, By: Jason Eugene Badman, December 26, 2019
Ingredients:
Mission tortilla or tortilla of choice
2-3 Tbs. pizza sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese –(roughly a handful)
pepperoni stick, thick slices
Directions:
Do not preheat.
Place the tortilla in the RMP. Spread the sauce evenly. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Add the pepperoni.
Do not place the lid.

Mixed Berry Pie*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 30, 2018
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
½ cup sugar
1/3 cup flour – (or cornstarch, if you prefer)
¼ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. salt
1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
1 prepared, refrigerated pie crust
Directions:
If you'd like to top the pie with pie crust cookies, use portions of another crust or roll out the prepared crust thinner and use extra. Roll out "cookie" dough. Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut desired shapes. Put cookies in RMP. Cook uncovered 1½ minutes. Set aside. Let RMP cool.
In a bowl, combine all other ingredients and stir until well mixed. Press the pie crust into the cooled RMP. Using a fork, poke holes throughout the pie crust, including the sides. Fill with the berry mixture. Top with pie crust cookies, spread across. Cook, uncovered, at 30% power for 10 minutes. Increase power to 50% power Cook, uncovered for 13 minutes. Let cool completely and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes: To limit the berry filling splatter, I topped with pie crust cookies, which is my go-to for easy fancy pies, I just normally don't cook them first. It didn't splatter, but it also didn't seem inclined to, possibly because of the low heat. I think you could go longer on the second cooking time if you didn't think the berry mixture had been cooked long enough. Even letting it cool in the RMP didn't lead to a dark crust.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cheesecake Toaster Melt*, By: Melt Lorri Horton-Stephens, March 13, 2018
Just tried a new recipe I came up with and it ended up being insanely good (probably not good for me calorie wise, but oh well! lol)
Ingredients:
2 tsp unsalted butter softened
2 pieces Texas Toast
Peanut butter (good layer on both pieces of bread)
Jif Chocolate Cheesecake Flavored Hazelnut Spread
Directions:
Spread the butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Turnover and spread generous but even amount of peanut butter; (whatever is your favorite), on each piece. Place both pieces of bread next to each other, into the RangeMate Pro. Place the lid on top. Place the RangeMate Pro in the microwave. Cook for 2 minutes in 30 second increments until you get the desired grill marks. (I cooked it for a total of 3 minutes.) Place each toasted bread still separate on a plate. Let it cool for about 2 minutes, then spread a good-size dollop of the Chocolate Cheesecake Spread on each piece. Spread evenly on each piece. It will melt into the peanut butter. You can either keep it separate at this point or place together for a mouth-watering melted sandwich. The grilling gives a nice crunchy texture. Beware, it’s a little messy but so very good and can become very addictive. Hope you enjoy.

Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls*, By: Aurelia Dougan McCollom, May 12, 2017
Ingredients:
8 count Pillsbury cinnamon rolls with icing
Directions:
Using a non-stick coating spray, spray the silicone muffin cups. Place a cinnamon roll into each cup, cinnamon top up. Place into your Range Mate Pro. Place in the microwave, without the lid.
Adjust your microwave to 30% power, cook for 5 ½ minutes, for 4.
The easiest way to remove, is to remove the insert, and place a dinner size plate on top of the rolls, and invert. They will fall right out. You can then just turn them over and frost with the icing provided. (I moved mine to a cooling rack).
*Added comment*
This was my first time trying to bake these. I originally did 2 at a time, for a test, using the directions as above, with the exception for 2, I only baked for 5 minutes. Both sets came our perfect each time. If you have a see through window in your microwave, you will notice them beginning to rise at 4 minutes, whereas on 2 they began to rise sooner. They just needed that extra 30 seconds to be perfect.
So, 2 cinnamon rolls; 5 minutes.
4 cinnamon rolls; 5 ½ minutes.
My microwave is 1250 watts. Adjust the time for the wattage of your microwave.

Poverty Cakes with Protein*, By: Patrick Priest, April 26, 2017

Protein Powder - I used 1 scoop of French Cinnamon Toast by Nubreed Moblast
½ teaspoon baking powder
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
12 blue berries – or small fruit of choice
Directions:
Mix the dry ingredients really well to incorporate the baking powder. Stir in the milk.
Coat the RMP silicone muffin insert with a non-stick cooking spray. Add 4 blue berries to each cup. Add equal amounts of mix to 3 of the cups. Place directly into the RMP pan. Cook uncovered for 3 minutes. After 3 minutes, cook in 30 second increments until you find your perfect time. These pancakes took 3 minutes and 30 seconds.
3 Cakes = a TOTAL calorie of 199 calories (that is less than 70 calories per cake). This may not be your cup of tea but it is good for a kid not having carbs

Vegetables & Noodles in Black Bean Sauce*, By: Gwen Sparrow, October 18, 2018
Ingredients:
Your choice of vegetables
olive oil
lo mein noodles - premade
1 Tbs. Kum Lee Black Bean Sauce
Directions:
Preheat the RMP for 2 minutes. Sauté the vegetables in olive oil, uncovered (fresh veggies sometimes get soupy with it covered in my experience) for two or three minutes. Stir and add lo mein noodles. Cook for few more minutes or until desired tenderness. Stir in a tablespoon of Lee Kum Kee black bean sauce. Cook another couple of minutes. So, essentially, for me, it was four ingredients that I stirred together and added minutes on the microwave.
With precut veggies and a prepared sauce, this was super low stress. With so many allergies and being an obligate vegetarian, prepared meals can be a nightmare, and I hate asking family to make a separate meal for me.

Baked (& Grilled) Sweet Potatoes*, By: Gwen Sparrow, July 24, 2018
Ingredients:
2 medium sweet potatoes - scrubbed clean, cut in half
salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste
cooking spray
oil
butter (optional)
chosen toppings
Directions:
Spray the RangeMate 5-in-1 Grill Pan with cooking spray. Place the sweet potatoes, cut side up, in RMP. Spray or brush with oil. Season. Cook uncovered for 5-7 minutes until softened. Remove and flip, cut side down. Continue cooking uncovered for 2-4 minutes, or until fork penetrates easily and grill marks are visible. Brush with butter, (optional.) Top with your choice of toppings. (I recommend swapping out sour cream for ranch dressing.) Cheese, French fried onions, bacon bits, and chives are all good to compliment the sweetness.
Notes: for maximum nutrition (yes, I'm bringing up nutrition in something I've slathered in ranch dressing and crunchy onions) you'll want to eat the skin, but I actually like it better than potato skin. I love when nutrition tastes yummy. I'd planned on this being two meals, but I appear to have eaten them all. Curses!

Bone-In Poultry Cooking Instructions from The RangeMate Pro Team
We have found that because of their thickness and the reduced conductivity provided by the bones, that we get best results, by not pre-heating. Cooking for 3 minutes on one side, turning and cooking for another 2 minutes, turning and cooking until it reaches 165°F. How long it takes will depend on the size of the legs and thighs. For boneless thighs, we cook them the same was as breasts, unless they are really thick, in which case I will use the method described above.

Buttery Toasted Lemon Orzo with Capers*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 18, 2018
Ingredients:
1 cup orzo (uncooked)
1½ cup water
3 Tbs. butter
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup capers
lemon pepper, to taste
Directions:
In uncovered grill, melt butter for one minute. Add orzo and stir to coat in butter. Leaving uncovered, toast orzo to a golden brown, stirring frequently. (Approximately 4 minutes.) Stir in water, lemon juice, and lemon pepper. Cover and cook 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until orzo is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir in capers and leave uncovered for five minutes.
Can be served hot or cold.
If this seems like a glorified "roni" meal, it really is. Limitless variations are possible like mushrooms and cheese or chicken and garlic. I'm a bit pretentious and like capers, but chicken would work too. Maybe even shrimp if you wanted to get super fancy. I made it with zucchini and cheese last night by sautéing the zucchini in the butter and setting it aside before toasting the orzo without rinsing the grill. The cheese was stirred in at the end like the capers. You could also sub in a broth instead of water for more flavor.
Added comment - because of splattering, it is suggested that you use the lid when heating butter. After melted, and adding ingredients, the lid can remain off, if necessary.

Chicken Grillers*, By, Aurelia Dougan McCollom, July 18, 2018
“Great on the Grill,
Easy in the Oven.”
…..BUT…..
“The Best in the RangeMate Pro.”
Our local HyVee grocery prepares a variety of stuffed chicken breasts in different flavors. I purchased the “Cowgirl.” It is a chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms, green peppers, & Monterey Jack cheese, BBQ seasoning, wrapped in bacon.
Ingredients:
2 (8 oz. each) chicken grillers
Directions:
Preheat the RMP for 4 minutes without the lid. While preheating, I removed the green pepper from the top of the chicken.
After preheating, spray the grill with olive oil. (I use my EVO sprayer and just spritzed a couple of times.)
Place both chicken grillers in the RMP and place the lid. Cook for 4 minutes. (Because the chicken produced more liquid than I wanted, I used tongs and paper towels to absorb the excess.)
Turn the grillers and cook for another 4 minutes. If needed keep absorbing more liquid if necessary.
Turn the grillers again for another 4 minutes. Finally, on the last turn, cook for 2 minutes. Remove the lid and place the green pepper on top. Return the lid and continue for the additional 2 minutes.
The internal temperature was 165°F.
Total cooking time was 16 minutes. (8 minutes for each side)
My microwave is 1250 watts.

Chicken Kabobs*, By: Cherrie Koeppler Christel, July 7, 2017
I purchased pre-made chicken kabobs from our local grocery. (Chicken, yellow pepper, mushrooms, onion, green pepper). You can also make your own, with your favorite ingredients. (I am going to try steak, next time)! If purchasing from the store, remove the stick from the kabobs.
Ingredients:
chicken kabobs – or your choice, stick removed
salt to taste
paprika – to sprinkle
¼ cup stir fry sauce - optional
Directions:
Place the kabobs in your RangeMate Pro. Place the lid and cook for 3 minutes. Stir. Place the lid and cook for another 3 minutes. Stir. Repeat, for a final 3 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes with lid still in place.
Top with ¼ cup sir fry sauce before serving. Really easy and very good!
*This meal was fixed in the “OLD” Range Mate. My total cook time was 9 minutes. Adjust your time cooking if you have the RangeMate Pro, and make a notation of the time.

1-2 tablespoons sunflower oil – or oil of your choice
garlic powder – to taste
ground black pepper – to taste

Chocolate Biscuits*, By: Gwen Sparrow, July 16, 2018
Ingredients:
5 pack roll of small refrigerated biscuits
1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
5 chocolate wafers or your favorite chocolate bar squares
powdered or granulated sugar for sprinkling
Directions:
After opening the package of biscuits, press each biscuit into the chocolate chips and knead to incorporate them. Place the wafer or square in the center of dough and wrap dough around it before flattening it slightly. (You should end up with five oval blobs.) Place in RMP ungreased grill. Cook uncovered 8-10 minutes at 30% power. Cover the RMP. Cook 2-3 minutes to brown the bottoms. (Total cooking time ranges 10-13 minutes). Sprinkle with powdered or granulated sugar or a mixture of both.
My microwave is 1100 watts.
Notes: Some mornings you really, really need chocolate. Also, I've been using this method for cooking packaged cinnamon rolls and I highly recommend it. I will increase the percentage of power to get more browning during the covered time.

Curd Sandwich*, By: Gwen Sparrow, October 18, 2018
Ingredients:
2 Tbs. Greek Plain Yogurt (it needs to be thick)
2 Tbs. savory filling or diced meat
Sourdough bread
1 tsp. olive oil
Directions:
Preheat RMP one minute. Spread olive oil in pan. On each slice of the bread, spread yogurt and filling or meat. Set assembled sandwich in RMP. Cook uncovered 2 minutes. Flip. Cook uncovered another 2 minutes. Serve hot.
Notes: A more complex version of this is called Dahi Toast, and I'm sure that could be made in the RMP. I put sautéed mushrooms, onions, and garlic on this one, but I've had jarred artichokes, diced and dried. I'm guessing that it tastes delicious with various meats. The yogurt thickens and tastes awesome, basically this ends up similar to a grilled cheese sandwich. If you're not a fan of sourdough, sub out for a sturdy bread.

2 slices of bread or 1 croissant, cut in half
2 eggs
Butter or cooking spray
Directions:
Cut or a punch a hole in the center of the bread or croissant, roughly the size of a dollar coin or an egg yolk.

Place in your RangeMate Pro Grill. Cover and microwave for one minute. Flip bread or croissant over and crack egg over the top so the yolk is in the hole. Do not place the lid. Cook for one minute. Carefully flip the bread. Microwave, uncovered, in thirty second increments until yolk is to your liking.

French Dip Sandwiches*, By: Gwen Sparrow, August 12, 2018
We have this once or twice a week, but I start with a grilled cheese made by just omitting the meat for those of us who don't eat meat. It's the closest we get to all eating the same meal generally. But in roughly 10 minutes, dinner is served.
Ingredients:
hoagie rolls
roast beef
cheese (usually provolone or Swiss)
mayonnaise (optional)
butter or cooking spray
aus jus or beef broth
Directions:
Preheat the RMP for one minute. Rub butter or use cooking spray on the grill. Split open a roll and put cut side down, making sure it absorbs some of the butter. Cook, uncovered, for one minute. Flip. Leaving open-faced, pile roast beef and cheese on both sides. Cook, uncovered, for one minute. Add mayo if desired. Close and serve with warm aus jus. If making multiple sandwiches, there's no need to preheat between sandwiches.
Notes: You can also add sautéed mushrooms, peppers, or onions before that final one minute in the microwave if you want to get fancy. And if you like flavored mayo, that's also an interesting twist.

French Toast, By: Sandy Troy, June 24, 2020
Ingredients:
thick slices sour dough bread – or bread of choice
egg with cream or half & half, cinnamon, & vanilla extract – or your favorite French toast egg mixture
Directions:
Heat the RangeMate Pro with lid off 4 minutes. While preheating, soak the bread in the egg mixture. When ready, lightly spray the pan with cooking spray. Place the bread in the pan. Cover and microwave on high 1½ minutes. Remove and turn the bread over to brown the opposite side. Place the lid. Continue cooking for 1½ minutes. Thickness of the bread and your microwave may require slightly different cooking time. Microwave wattage on this appliance is 1200.

French Toast Muffins*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 23,2018
Ingredients:
3 eggs, beaten
5 pieces of bread or a sweet bread (like cinnamon raisin), cut into ½-inch cubes
¼ cup maple syrup
1/3 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. cinnamon (if not using a sweet bread, you might prefer more)
½ tsp. salt
Directions:
In a gallon-size bag, combine all ingredients, allowing bread to absorb liquid. Put ½ cup water into RMP. Add the steamer insert. Divide all batter between the RMP silicone muffin tray. (Do not grease individual inserts.) Put the muffin tray on the steamer insert and cook uncovered for 7-9 minutes, or until muffins are cooked through. Sprinkle with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes: this was my second attempt at adapting this recipe. It tastes entirely like bread pudding. Adding ice cream or whipped cream, you could call this a dessert. I think that's due to the limitations in browning baked goods in the RMP.
Using different sweet breads give you many options. An apple cinnamon bread was used in this recipe, but we frequently have blueberry bread on hand.

Frittata*, By: Gwen Sparrow, January 25, 2019
Ingredients:
6 eggs, whisked and seasoned as desired
½ cup shredded cheese
1 to 1½ cups cooked vegetables or meats (potatoes, mushrooms, bacon, etc.)
Directions:
If cooking vegetables, do that first in your RMP. (For example, I cheat and use frozen hash browns and onions that I cook in olive oil in the RMP, uncovered for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally.)
If your add-ins are already cooked, preheat the RMP for 2 minutes, uncovered. Spray RMP with cooking spray. Spread "add-ins" in the RMP. Sprinkle with ½ of the cheese. Add in beaten eggs. Top with remaining cheese. If you didn't already season your eggs with salt, pepper, etc., this is your last chance.
Cook, uncovered, at 50% power for 12-14 minutes or until no liquid remains.
(My microwave is 1100 watt and I live at sea level.)
Notes: this is a good "whatever is in the fridge" meal. I had fresh mushrooms that I tossed in with the frozen hash browns and onions today when I was cooking them. I've made it with leftover Brussel sprouts and bacon. Sometimes spinach. Sometimes peppers. If you're allergic to dairy, you can cut out the cheese with my blessing; I do sometimes. You could add milk or cream to your eggs to make them fluffier and the dish creamier, but you'll want to adjust the cooking time accordingly. I'm too lazy, impatient, and lactose intolerant for that. Also, if you've gone wild with add-ins, you may need to add more eggs. Adjust cooking time accordingly. *Pictured are several frittatas with varying ingredients.

Full-Size Quiche*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 22,2018
Ingredients:
1 prepared, refrigerated pie crust
1½ cups filling, precooked, drained of liquid (for example: spinach and mushrooms were used here)
6 eggs
½ cup milk (cream or half & half can be substituted)
¾ cup shredded cheese
salt and pepper - to taste
Directions:
Using a fork, liberally stab the uncooked crust, including the sides. This is crucial for cooking the crust so don't be shy. Place in the RangeMate Pro 5-in-1 Grill Pan. Press lightly against the sides. Whisk together remaining ingredients. (Optional: reserve ¼ cup cheese to sprinkle on top at the end.) Pour ingredients, evenly, into uncooked pie crust. Cook, uncovered, at 30% power for 12 minutes. Cook, uncovered, at 50% power for 20 minutes. Fork should come away cleanly when inserted. Continue cooking, checking frequently, if necessary.
Even though this doesn't save a lot of baking time, it does let you use your microwave, saving you heating up the kitchen with the oven.
Other ingredient options: bacon, ham, or sausage. You could also add artichokes, onions, or asparagus. I used an Italian cheese blend, but a cheddar blend or Swiss cheese also would work.
****
Garlic Texas Toast*

2 slices frozen garlic Texas toast
Directions:

Grilled Cheese Hot Dog*, By: Aurelia Dougan McCollom, May 1, 2017
So, I found this floating around on the news feed, so I adapted it to the RMP. Pretty Tasty!
Ingredients:
1 hot dog
1 hot dog bun
Butter, soften
garlic powder, to taste
onion powder, to taste
Shredded cheddar cheese
mustard - optional
Directions:
Mix the softened butter with the garlic and onion powder. Flatten the hot dog bun with your hand, but do not separate. Spread the mixture on the outside of the bun.
Split the hot dog, but do not cut all the way through.
Place the hot dog split side down in your RMP 5-in-1 Grill Pan. Place the lid. Grill for 3 minutes. You should have some nice grill marks at this time, if not add another 30 seconds. (I only grilled one side).
Move to the side. Place the split hot dog bun, buttered side down in the RMP. Add some shredded cheese to both sides of the bun. Place the hot dog on one side and top with more cheese.
Place the lid. Grill for 1 minute, (the pan is already hot). (I actually cooked it for 2 minutes. That was a little long. I forgot to take into account the pan was hot). Check after 1 minute for your desired doneness. Increase cooking time in 30 second increments if needed. Remove.
Top with mustard. Close the bun and enjoy!
It was nice and crispy. It had a great “crunch”!

Grilled German Pancake- (A Dutch Baby)*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 7, 2018
Ingredients:
2 Tbs. butter
3 eggs
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup milk
Dash salt
Directions:
Add the butter to the RangeMate Pro Grill Pan. Cover. Cook for 1½ minutes to brown the butter. Tip the pan to spread evenly over the grill and allow to cool while mixing the ingredients.
In a small blender or with a hand mixer, blend together the remaining ingredients until frothy. Add to the RangeMate Pro. Cover. Microwave for 2 minutes. Carefully flip pancake, allowing uncooked batter to settle underneath. Return to the microwave and cook covered, for 1½ minutes. At this point, it should flip easily. If needed, cook in 30 second increments until adequately browned. You can eat as is, or top with sugar, syrup, or jam.
Added Comment - A Dutch Baby! is another name for the pancake. If you do a search on Google for savory Dutch Babies, besides possibly getting some weird unintentional results, you should see alternative toppings. If you look at just images of Dutch Babies, once again ignoring weird results, you'll see the vast choices available.
BTW, this works very well for a gluten free or dairy free conversion. I was using soy milk up until this last batch. And I've done gluten free in the past with the original recipe.
I have used a locally made marionberry syrup. I have also had it with granulated sugar, various syrups, jams, and whipped cream.
There's a very similar dish that uses this as the base for savory dishes, for topping it with taco fixings or chili. And you could easily add seasonings to the batter to make it savory. You can also top with freshly cut strawberries and whipped cream, or orange marmalade.

Hamburgers*, By: Aurelia Dougan McCollom, April 29, 2017
Make your favorite burger. (These are ¼ lb. burgers).
Preheat your RMP Grill Pan for 4 minutes without the lid.
Place your burgers, (I did 2 at a time) in the pan. Place the lid and cook for 3 minutes.
Turn after the 3 minutes and cook for 1½ - 2 additional minutes. (Mine were cooked for the 2 additional minutes). Depending on the wattage of your microwave cook in 30 second increments until you find your perfect temperature. Use a digital meat thermometer to test.
THOSE ARE THE BASIC COOKING INSTRUCTIONS...
I also decided at the last minute to grill onions.
To do that: I sliced a whole onion. I took 4 slices and separated them into rings. I placed in a bowl with a little oil, and tossed to coat. After the RMP was heated for the 4 minutes, I placed the burgers with the onions around the burgers. When I flipped the burgers, I also flipped the onions. They were perfect! Really nice grill marks!
I also melted Provolone cheese on 2 of the burgers; the last 1 minute of cooking.
No standing out in the RAIN for a "grilled cheeseburger!"

Lemon Chicken, By:Susie Wells, June 29, 2018
Here is a recipe I adapted for RangeMate Pro 5-in1 Grill Pan from an oven recipe. I’ve made it several times. It’s very good. I use a meat thermometer to check for doneness.

2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. pepper
½ cup seasoned bread crumbs

Lobster, By: Janet Tarrant, August 7, 2018
So, I wanted to treat myself to a 4 oz. lobster tail tonight. Wasn't sure how it would cook but oh boy it was good. Was going to take a picture but I scarfed it down.
Ingredients:
4 oz. lobster tail
olive oil
butter spray
Pepper and garlic, to taste
Directions:
While preheating your RangeMate Pro for 4 minutes, split the lobster down the middle to open it. After preheating add a small amount of olive oil to the heated pan. Placed the lobster meat side down. Cover and cook 3 minutes. Use a butter spray, pepper and garlic to season the top.
The meat was very easy to remove meat from shell.
The flavor is very good. So much better than when it is boiled on the stove top.

Steak Marinade, August 6, 2017
Ingredients:
½ cup Soy Sauce
2 Tbs. olive oil
½ cup brown sugar
½ tsp Season All {or any type of all-purpose seasoning salt}
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp garlic powder
Directions:
Put a gallon-sized Ziploc bag in a bowl and add all the ingredients of the marinade to the bag. (The bowl helps keep the bag upright and in place.)
Seal the bag and shake the bag around a bit, as well as squish it around with your hands to mix all the ingredients.
*Optional – I place the marinade in my Lock & Lock, or my Food Saver. Both will infuse the seasonings into the meat. I do turn once and hour*.
Add the steak and squish it all around again, until the marinade covers the steak.
Allow to marinate for 3-6 hours, depending on the thickness of your steak.
Grill steak 2-6 minutes per side, depending on the type of steak used and overall thickness. Enjoy!

Meatloaf*, By: Gwen Sparrow, July 24, 2018
Ingredients:
2 lbs. lean ground beef (or turkey)
3 slices bread, torn into small pieces
2 eggs
½ cup French fried crunchy onions
3 Tbs. ketchup
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper - to taste
garlic powder – to taste, optional
Directions:
Combine your ingredients in a bowl, reserving 2 Tbs. of the ketchup. Press into a cake shape (round) in the RMP. (I left a small gap around the edge.) Top with the remaining ketchup. Cook, covered, at 50% power for 12 minutes. Remove from the microwave and remove the lid. Return and continue cooking, uncovered, at 50% power for 14 minutes or until internal temperature is at least 160 degrees.
Notes: It surprised me how quickly this cooked. When I checked the temperature, I thought I'd accidentally touched the bottom. French fried onions are what is normally added to green bean casseroles. I use them on baked potatoes, salads, chili, and so on so we always have them on hand.
Usually my meatloaf shrinks in the oven but didn't. It was super moist and delicious. I might like this better than in the. You might be able to leave the cover on the entire time, but I wanted to ensure it was cooked through. Everyone went back for seconds and it's all gone.

Mesquite Grilled Frozen Chicken Fillets*, By: Connie Eastman Lewis, June 7, 2017
Another yummy meal in my RMP. Mesquite Grilled Frozen Chicken Fillets (these come frozen in a bag and I think I got them at Sam's Club). Asparagus with a little EVO drizzled over them in a bag with a little salt and some garlic powder. Preheat the pan without the lid for 3 minutes. I drizzled just a little coconut oil in the pan, added the chicken and asparagus and cooked for 4 minutes. Flipped the chicken over and used tongs to turn the asparagus over then cooked for 4 more minutes. Took the chicken out and sprinkled some fresh grated parmesan on the asparagus and cooked another minute. The chicken was so tender and moist and the asparagus was also very tender the way I like it. My microwave is only 900 watts so you may want to adjust the time. I always use a temperature probe for chicken.

Mission Tortilla Pizza*, By: Jason Eugene Badman, December 26, 2019
Ingredients:
Mission tortilla or tortilla of choice
2-3 Tbs. pizza sauce
shredded mozzarella cheese –(roughly a handful)
pepperoni stick, thick slices
Directions:
Do not preheat.
Place the tortilla in the RMP. Spread the sauce evenly. Sprinkle the cheese on top. Add the pepperoni.
Do not place the lid.

Mixed Berry Pie*, By: Gwen Sparrow, June 30, 2018
Ingredients:
4 cups fresh berries (blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
½ cup sugar
1/3 cup flour – (or cornstarch, if you prefer)
¼ tsp. cinnamon
¼ tsp. salt
1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar
1 prepared, refrigerated pie crust
Directions:
If you'd like to top the pie with pie crust cookies, use portions of another crust or roll out the prepared crust thinner and use extra. Roll out "cookie" dough. Using a cookie cutter or knife, cut desired shapes. Put cookies in RMP. Cook uncovered 1½ minutes. Set aside. Let RMP cool.
In a bowl, combine all other ingredients and stir until well mixed. Press the pie crust into the cooled RMP. Using a fork, poke holes throughout the pie crust, including the sides. Fill with the berry mixture. Top with pie crust cookies, spread across. Cook, uncovered, at 30% power for 10 minutes. Increase power to 50% power Cook, uncovered for 13 minutes. Let cool completely and serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes: To limit the berry filling splatter, I topped with pie crust cookies, which is my go-to for easy fancy pies, I just normally don't cook them first. It didn't splatter, but it also didn't seem inclined to, possibly because of the low heat. I think you could go longer on the second cooking time if you didn't think the berry mixture had been cooked long enough. Even letting it cool in the RMP didn't lead to a dark crust.

1 chicken broth
1½ Tbs. butter
1/8 cup lemon juice
1/8 cup capers

cooked shrimp – (cilantro lime shrimp from Costco was used in this recipe)
fresh grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
In uncovered grill, melt butter for one minute. Add orzo and stir to coat in butter. Leaving uncovered, toast orzo to a golden brown, stirring frequently. Add the chopped onion during the last 30 seconds of toasting the orzo. Total time for toasting was 2 minutes, 30 seconds. Check for color and stir every 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice and lemon pepper. Cover and cook 10-12 minutes, stirring every 3 to 5 minutes, or until orzo is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed. Remove the RMP from the microwave and add chopped fresh parsley, dill and cooked shrimp. Replace the lid. Let sit for 5 minutes. The shrimp is cilantro lime shrimp from Costco.

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Cheesecake Toaster Melt*, By: Melt Lorri Horton-Stephens, March 13, 2018
Just tried a new recipe I came up with and it ended up being insanely good (probably not good for me calorie wise, but oh well! lol)
Ingredients:
2 tsp unsalted butter softened
2 pieces Texas Toast
Peanut butter (good layer on both pieces of bread)
Jif Chocolate Cheesecake Flavored Hazelnut Spread
Directions:
Spread the butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. Turnover and spread generous but even amount of peanut butter; (whatever is your favorite), on each piece. Place both pieces of bread next to each other, into the RangeMate Pro. Place the lid on top. Place the RangeMate Pro in the microwave. Cook for 2 minutes in 30 second increments until you get the desired grill marks. (I cooked it for a total of 3 minutes.) Place each toasted bread still separate on a plate. Let it cool for about 2 minutes, then spread a good-size dollop of the Chocolate Cheesecake Spread on each piece. Spread evenly on each piece. It will melt into the peanut butter. You can either keep it separate at this point or place together for a mouth-watering melted sandwich. The grilling gives a nice crunchy texture. Beware, it’s a little messy but so very good and can become very addictive. Hope you enjoy.

Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls*, By: Aurelia Dougan McCollom, May 12, 2017
Ingredients:
8 count Pillsbury cinnamon rolls with icing
Directions:
Using a non-stick coating spray, spray the silicone muffin cups. Place a cinnamon roll into each cup, cinnamon top up. Place into your Range Mate Pro. Place in the microwave, without the lid.
Adjust your microwave to 30% power, cook for 5 ½ minutes, for 4.
The easiest way to remove, is to remove the insert, and place a dinner size plate on top of the rolls, and invert. They will fall right out. You can then just turn them over and frost with the icing provided. (I moved mine to a cooling rack).
*Added comment*
This was my first time trying to bake these. I originally did 2 at a time, for a test, using the directions as above, with the exception for 2, I only baked for 5 minutes. Both sets came our perfect each time. If you have a see through window in your microwave, you will notice them beginning to rise at 4 minutes, whereas on 2 they began to rise sooner. They just needed that extra 30 seconds to be perfect.
So, 2 cinnamon rolls; 5 minutes.
4 cinnamon rolls; 5 ½ minutes.
My microwave is 1250 watts. Adjust the time for the wattage of your microwave.

Vegetables & Noodles in Black Bean Sauce*, By: Gwen Sparrow, October 18, 2018
Ingredients:
Your choice of vegetables
olive oil
lo mein noodles - premade
1 Tbs. Kum Lee Black Bean Sauce
Directions:
Preheat the RMP for 2 minutes. Sauté the vegetables in olive oil, uncovered (fresh veggies sometimes get soupy with it covered in my experience) for two or three minutes. Stir and add lo mein noodles. Cook for few more minutes or until desired tenderness. Stir in a tablespoon of Lee Kum Kee black bean sauce. Cook another couple of minutes. So, essentially, for me, it was four ingredients that I stirred together and added minutes on the microwave.
With precut veggies and a prepared sauce, this was super low stress. With so many allergies and being an obligate vegetarian, prepared meals can be a nightmare, and I hate asking family to make a separate meal for me.
