Ingredients

Recipe Description: 

Bottled marinades and sauces are a quick way to add flavor to a meal when you are stretched for time. Avoid seasonings and sauces that have artificial ingredients, MSG, chemical flavorings and those that are high in added sugars and fat.

Use the 12 in. Electric Oil Core Skillet cover with your 12 in. Chef's Gourmet Skillet.
