Product of the Day: Fiesta Homer Laughlin Baking Bowl Set

Behind the Burner: Product of the Day: Fiesta Homer Laughlin Baking Bowl Set

As a baker, I am well aware that finding a quality bowl for mixing can sometimes be a real challenge. Not the case with Fiesta Homer Laughlin Baking Bowl Set. Bright and sunny, these are great for not only mixing ingredients for cookies, but also for serving salads or sliced fruit. They come in many shades (my favorite being sunflower yellow) and are also stackable for easy storage. I like to use the bowls for various baking processes since so many recipes require various wet and dry steps.

Tip: Never use an electric mixer in these bowls! It will most likely lead to chipping, which is never a good thing, especially as chips harbor extra bacteria. As always, treat your baking equipment with care and it will last you a long while.

The best part about these bowls? They're oven, freezer and microwave proof. Perfect for making your favorite dips or casseroles that transfer from oven to the table without any prep!

Product of the Day: Edge Brownie Pan

Behind the Burner: Product of the Day: Edge Brownie Pan

As a brownie lover, I've come across the acute pain of having uneven brownie pieces: some mushy and gooey, other's chewy and delicious. If you're an end person, check out the Baker's Edge Brownie Pan. Instead of undercooked middles, this pan makes sure that every piece has two chewy edges to compliment the softness of the perfectly cooked inards. The pan uses a zig-zag pattern wide enough for solitary brownie slices (though who can ever have just one?). If you're a gooey middle fan, forget it, this is not the pan for you, but if you're a perfectionist brownie lover, then jump on board.

The best part? No struggle to get those treats out of the pan and into your mouth. Each pan is non-stick, easy to clean and even comes with a miniature spatula. Trick: When making your brownies in this awesome pan, substitute the oil in the brownies with a half cup of almond butter. It leaves the treats moist, gooey and rich.

Why keep yourself on edge? Enjoy a delicious brownie without the struggle, courtesy of Baker's Edge Brownie Pan.
