Equipment You’ll Need … or Want

To prepare many of these dishes, you’ll need a slow cooker. In fact, it might be a good idea to have more than one! I have two, and one of them comes with a pot that is divided into two parts. There are also slow cookers that have multiple pots, made especially for use at parties.

Getting eggs to hard boil so they create nice, clean halves can be tricky. Often to get a dozen good-looking eggs, you need to cook two dozen! There are two ways around this conundrum: Buy eggs already hard boiled (you can find them in the refrigerator section of your grocery store) or use a specialty egg cooker.

You can simply spoon the egg filling into the halves and it looks just fine. But for that extra touch, you might want to use a pastry cone, cookie press or specialty egg maker.

And finally, to create a nice display, you might want to have a deviled egg tray. This is a special tray with egg-shaped indents that hold the eggs so they don’t flop over.

If you decide to have a sweet potato bar or any other type of “select your own toppings” display, it is helpful to have plenty of small bowls on hand. I like to use ramekins.
