Making a gift list for the bakers in your life? Check twice that this set is on it. They'll unwrap a French porcelain baking slab, Beechwood rolling pin and stainless measuring cups.
Looking for a way to up your holiday game this year? Consider serving a slab pie. Though they do require a bit more effort than a dump cake, these holiday desserts are big enough to feed (and impress) a crowd.
To get the perfect slab pie, you’ll need to get three things right: the measure, the roll and the bake. It may sound intimidating, but it’s easier than you think thanks to the Made In Bakers Gift Set. Here’s everything you need to know about this brilliant gift for bakers.
What is the Made In Bakers Gift Set?
The Made In Bakers Gift Set includes the brand’s best-selling baking slab. It was designed by Nancy Silverton, an acclaimed chef, James Beard Award winner and cookbook author.
The slab, which is part pie dish and part sheet pan, is crafted from French porcelain and measures 13 by 9 inches. At just over five pounds, the slab is a bit heavy. However, the easy-grip handles make it easy to lift out of the oven.
And if you want to prep ahead of time, you’re in luck. The slab is thermal-shock resistant and oven-safe up to 650 degrees Fahrenheit, allowing it to go from freezer to oven to table without a hitch.
The gift set also includes a 20-inch tapered French rolling pin made of solid Beechwood and a four-piece set of stainless steel measuring cups. All three pieces have a lifetime warranty and arrive neatly packaged in a beautiful red box. If you’re not keeping this set for yourself, just add a bow, and it’s ready to go under the tree.
Why We Love Made In Bakeware
Lisa Kaminski/Taste of Home
When the Made In baking slab came onto the bakeware scene, former Taste of Home editor Lisa Kaminski jumped at the chance to try it out. At the time, she wasn’t quite sure what a baking slab was. But after a particularly perfect focaccia, the Made In baking slab became her new favorite. “In the end, I’m so happy that I took a chance on this baking slab. The porcelain surface really has done wonders for my bread and pastry game. My focaccia is better than ever, and slab pies look so tempting sitting on the kitchen counter cooling,” she writes in her full baking slab review.
Lisa adds that the slab feels lovely to use and is surprisingly easy to clean. “If you’re serious about baking (pastry and bread specifically) and your kitchen is already full of the essentials, I’d say this is a worthy investment,” writes Lisa. “Avid home bakers will really enjoy this.”
