** 2013 Holiday Gift Guide Feature **
I admit…I am a foodie and proud of it! I love to cook and bake which means that I have an addiction for great kitchen tools, cookware, dinnerware, bakeware, etc. I seriously can not get enough of great kitchenware in my own home!
In addition to being a foodie, a lot of my family and friends are foodies too! Every year we like to exchange holiday gifts and our gift exchange is always centered around gourmet food, beverages and/or kitchen items.
When it comes to shopping for great foodie gifts for people on your holiday shopping list, Kohl’s is your go-to store for high-quality products at affordable prices.
For my review Kohl’s sent me a complimentary Food Network Set of 3 Covered Mini Bakers to review for all of you. When you think of mini bakers, think of ramekins. These mini bakers are perfect for single-size portion control and they go from oven to table.
This particular set is in a beautiful medium red color which is perfect for the holiday season. They are microwave safe, dishwasher safe and they can safely go into the refrigerator. The mini bakers are perfect for making homemade baked fruit cobblers, mini pies, baked custards, baked puddings, mac ‘n cheese or try making your favorite mini meat pies in them.
Baked Pumpkin Pudding – Custard
The set comes with 3 stoneware mini bakers with matching lids. I love that each baker has built-in side handles so that I have something to grip on when removing them from the oven. They are oven safe up to 450 degrees and come in a great gift box!
I decided to use my new mini bakers to make a baked homemade pumpkin pudding which is really like a baked custard. I love baking in stoneware because I get even heating with no cold spots and they are naturally nonstick.
After spending a few minutes whipping up my ingredients I placed them into the oven. When I make homemade puddings & custards, I place my mini bakers inside a glass baking dish that is 1/2 filled with hot water. I then baked my pumpkin pudding/custard for 30 minutes and removed them from the oven.
I left them cool for about 40 minutes and then I decided to serve it right inside each of the mini bakers. They are so attractive that you can serve your guests from oven to table with no issues at all. I had even baking with no burnt spots and no cold spots. The centers were just as done as the edges. We topped ours with some frozen whipped topping.
Delicious Baked Pumpkin Pudding with Whipped Topping
Afterwards I tossed them into the dishwasher on the top rack and ran them through. They came out sparkling clean with no crusty debris left behind. They look just as fabulous as when I took them out of the box!
This set of Food Network Mini Bakers is sold at Kohl’s with a suggestive retail price of $29.99. I think they are fabulous and I am going to head to Kohl’s to look for them in some additional colors. Personally, I think they make the perfect foodie gift because you can never have enough stoneware mini bakers on-hand for holiday baking.

Cute set of mini-bakers. I’m a sucker for things like that. Sometimes I actually avoid going into Kohl’s because I know I’m going to spend too much time in their kitchen department, drooling all over the bakeware and cookware and tools and appliances and dishes and… well, you understand, I’m sure. 😉
I have a French Onion soup recipe that these would be perfect for (another addition to MY wish list!)
I did not know that Kohl’s had Food Network items like these ramekins. They would be ideal for individual portions and I love the handles which make it easier to pick them up
Is the recipe for that on the blog somewhere? I would love to make it! Those crocks are adorable and what a difference that they would make in presentation. I had no idea that Kohl’s even sold them. We don’t have a Kohl’s nearby so I don’t get there often, but I need to schedule a special trip!
I will be publishing the recipe next week 🙂
Beautiful – and a dead ringer for another high-end brand that costs an arm and a leg. On my list for me! I also really want that pumpkin pudding custard recipe…yum!
I will be publishing the recipe for that here on the blog within a week or two. It was simple to make and delish!
I was there today and saw these! They have super cute Food Network items.

Boy I sure could use these and they are so pretty and what a great price thanks for sharing this one and have a great Holiday.
How convenient that they are refrigerator, microwave, and dishwasher safe. It let’s you easily go from one to the next. Love the handles, too. I hate it when you have to stick your fingers into the side of a dish to pick it up. The red color is very “in” now, and my mom would love it. Have fun cooking and eating!
I keep seeing these advertised and want them more every time! The mini set at only $14.99 is very well priced and on my wishlist for the holidays.
this is nice i would love to have this.
