When it comes to kitchen gadgets, there are some must-have essentials like a good set of knives and cookware that you really can't live without. And then there are the products that you're tempted to buy and have on hand just because they make life fun, particularly when entertaining.
Well, thanks to Ree Drummond, you're about to see (and want) one of those aforementiond fun products: The Pioneer Woman Glass 3-Ounce Shot Glass Flight Board. Take it from Ree herself who admitted it is a "surprise favorite" of hers. That's because, though it's original design is indeed meant for shots of alcohol, it's actually way more versatile than that.
If you know anything about Ree, it's that she'll always find a fun and creative way to repurpose what she's got on hand. If a pitcher can be a vase, then shot glasses can be so much more than their name suggests. And Ree is here to show you how in a recent video:
While she starts out showing you how elegant the flight board can make even simple tequila shots, thanks to the vintage-inspired details on etched glasses and classy wooden serving board, those three-ounce containers can also serve little juices. Picture serving a juice flight at your next brunch party! What a simple way to be the hostess with the mostess just by pouring a few sips.
And then if you really want to get impressive, Ree also shows you how to use the shot glass board for serving mini desserts. In the video, she is seen pouring in chocolate pots de crème and dolloping them with whipped cream once set. You could also do the same for pudding recipes and chocolate mousse!
It's worth mentioning that the whole set is less than $8. So even if you do only use it for serving alcohol, it's a worthy purchase. You can use them for all kinds of spirits or liqueurs at parties and before or even after a meal like limoncello or port. The glasses are dishwasher safe, so you can easily mix and match your serving ideas.
Oh, and did you think that was all? While Ree's video gives you three easy ideas, several commenters on the video gave even more ideas. Think: a butter flight, small charcuterie cups, and dipping bowls for condiments and sauces. One follower even uses it for the little wildflowers her kids pick for her. 🥹 Who knew a nice-to-have could turn into a need-to-have so quickly?
