Christmas Presents

I thought I would show you a few of my Christmas presents. I am thrilled with my new piece of Staub cookware.


It is a La Cocotte pan for making Coq au Vin (chicken stew in red wine).


These are self basting spikes on the lid. The moisture accumulates and then drips down off of the spikes. I will make a Coq au Vin soon and show you the pics.


I've always wanted one of the graduated pastry boards. Since I have been in my pies baking mode this is going to come in very handy.


I also got these two small Shun knives. I have them in larger sizes so I know I am going to love working with these.

* Whatever am I going to blog about now that the holidays are over?

Lucky, lucky jaz! I have an Emile Henry with the spikies like that. It makes amazing food. Although I like the chicken lid pull.

That pastry board is beautiful! I've only ever seen the plastic roll-ups from the 50s.

Your Staub pot is beautiful! Almost too pretty to use! And you are going to love using that pastry board!
As for your knives, I know you'll love them too! I never knew what a difference a good knife could make, until I got a good one, and then there was no turning back! lol
Things like these make our culinary creations not only easier to do, but make it more fun, too! Congratulations on getting such great gifts!!
