I’ve been making a lot of new recipes lately; cakes, tarts, casseroles and flans and I want to share my satisfaction with my ceramic 9×13 pan.  It’s not only got an interesting design – I think mine is hand painted – but the real beauty of it is I can make everything in it.  There’s something really nice about the look and feel of it.  It makes a lovely serving dish as well.  I can put something I’ve made straight out on the table and it feels more like home cooking than when it’s in a basic metal pan.

If you’re in the market, here’s a ceramic pan (pictured above) I found online that looks really sweet.  It’s on sale for twenty bucks which is about average for any pan that size.  You can find all kinds of other options online so look around.  I think this pan would also make a nice present for a wedding gift.  Anyway, next time you want to buy a baking pan, consider ceramic.
