Le Creuset makes the best braiser... I use them for this Queso Fundido, stews, to make Vodka sauce... the heat distribution is fantastic and this can go from oven to table keeping your dish hot longer while eating. I love them! Click hee to se emy favorite... there are so may options.
A Tortilla Warmer is a must if you enjoy Taco Tuesday! They can keep your tortillas nice and warm longer... which means a better dining experience! This white ceramic one is my favorite, click below to see..
