This little gem is going away...order by August 31st!

Got to get you one of these crocks! You can bake in it, freeze in it, microwave in it and it goes in the dishwasher for easy clean-up! Sized just right at 4 ¼”d x 3 ½”h, it holds a perfect 16 oz! Heat it up to keep foods warm longer or chill in the freezer to keep foods cold. Honestly, I have burned several candles in mine and then baked or added a dip mix or salsa to it. The non-porous glaze makes this possible.
