Whether she's preparing a special spread for holiday celebrations or whipping up a dish for a gathering with friends, Ree Drummond knows a thing or two about cooking for a crowd. Heck, even making an easy weeknight meal for everyone on the ranch takes some work. With all the food it takes to feed that many people, there's a lot of multitasking involved—and dishes!
So, it's no surprise that The Pioneer Woman herself is "obsessed" with the double-duty design of her baking dish from her collection at Walmart. Yes, you read that right! The ingenious design doubles as bakeware and a platter for a several-in-one dish that can multitask just as well as you do.
And since Ree just launched a Pioneer Woman refresh in honor of her collection's ten-year anniversary, the two-in-one baking dish has a new look as well. The Pioneer Woman Rectangular Stoneware Baking Dish with Platter Lid in Agatha has the same super useful concept of the original dish, but with a darling new design that perfectly encapsulates the elegance and vintage-inspired beauty of her upgraded line.
The classic 9-by-13-inch baking dish comes complete with a rimmed lid that can also be put in the oven or simply used to serve something else alongside. For example, Ree uses the dish to cook a lasagna and its lid to bake rolls—at the same time. After the baking process, the platter can either go right back to being a lid or kept off to hold more food. As Ree once said in a Walmart livestream, "Isn’t that cute? I love that concept!"
Of course, there are so many other options, too. Use the baking dish for everything from casseroles to enchiladas, then pop off the platter lid to serve sides. "I saw somebody turn the lid into a charcuterie board," adds Ree. You can even use it to make her famous cinnamon rolls!
Both made of a durable stoneware ceramic, each piece can easily serve hot, fresh-out-of-the-oven meals, then go in the dishwasher when dinner is done. You might even return your leftovers to the dish, then use the lid platter to store it in the fridge. Oh, and the dish also features built-in handles for convenient carrying.
So, next time you have a group to host, a potluck to attend, or just have a Drummond-sized family to feed, you'll want this baking dish at the ready. It's not often you find a product that matches (and enhances) your multitasking skills—and for just over $30 at that.
