Our Baking Essential List:

• For baking casseroles, we use Glass Baking Dishes. I especially like the dishes with lids so leftovers can be transferred straight to the fridge.
• Silicone Kitchenware is my favorite because they don't scratch my cookware and is easy to clean!
• A Glass Cutting Board is a must to prepare all of those ingredients. We even keep ours on our counter at all times.
• This Knife Set will also become your favorite! They cut beautifully, and with the hollow design of the knife, food doesn't stick to the blade.
