Heart #128 goes to...The Pampered Chef's 13" Medium Round Stone with Handles

Heart #128 goes to...The Pampered Chef's 13" Medium Round Stone with Handles!  Had to blog about this today for two reasons.  First reason is that I just got mine in the mail today.  The second reason is the pressure from my cousin Marti to blog again.  It's been almost two months since my last post and she just pointed that out to me.  It's also because of her that I bought this really cool baking stone.  She invited me over for dinner last week for some delicious homemade Greek soup, maybe I'll post that recipe one day, and she made crescent rolls.  The rolls came out perfect, thanks to the Pampered Chef stone which "evenly distributes heat and draws moisture away from the surface".

Here are some more features:

Retains heat, so your just-out-of-the-oven foods stay hot longer

No presoaking needed before use

Virtually nonporous, so it doesn't retain oils, odors or flavors

Microwave-, freezer-, and conventional and convection

oven-safe

This stone goes from the oven, straight to your table, with the help of the contoured handles that are molded directly into the stone.  This 13" round sells for $24.00 here.  There is also a large round stone with handles and a rectangular baker.  Browse the Pampered Chef website, they have really cool products and great recipes.

Heart #91 goes to...Crate and Barrel's Egg-Perfect Egg Timer

Heart #91 goes to...Crate and Barrel's Egg-Perfect Egg Timer!  This is the best $4.95 you will ever spend.  We love hard boiled eggs and egg salad so I use this all the time.  You simply put your eggs and this color changing egg timer in a pot, add water and start to boil.  "The timer takes into account the number of eggs, water used, altitude and your desired level of cooked egg, from soft- to hard-boiled".  As your eggs cook, the red color turns black starting from the outer edges.  I think this is great!  This makes a great stocking stuffer or wishing well gift for a bridal shower!
