Valentine's day special

I make a heart shaped cake for my daughter for Valentine's day and her birthday and I love using this pan because unlike a cake pan, the sides are taped to get the cake out easier. It is also a beautiful presentation if it is kept in the pan.
This cast iron heart is not just a novelty...it has the same characteristics as it's larger brothers. Nearly indestructible with tight-fitting lid. Enameled for ease of cleaning.
Your first thought is Valentines Day or a gift for a loved one but not only is it perfect for gift giving it's so fun to serve side dishes or dips in this on any occasion. With Staub quality, even heating and easy clean up this dish performs as well as it looks.
These are fun to always have out & ready to use! Great for serving dessert, veggies, a special something or leave on the counter or stove for candies or treats, when not in the oven! Certainly not only for V-day!
My best friend has a family tradition. For any special occasion, a birthday, a promotion, an accomplishment, her mother would serve that child's favorite food in a special dish. My friend loves hearts - so this pot was a no brainer gift a few years ago. Now she has evolved the tradition to include using this pot to celebrate someone. It's usually mac & cheese (one of her specialties) that ends up in this pot, but she tells me, she has made many things in it - chicken soup when someone is under the weather, apple crisps for one child. It's an easy way to say your special and loved.
It has the same amazing Staub quality and features as my cast iron ductch ovens. It heats evenly, has a beautiful, pottery-like finish all packaged in this perfect little heart. I loved using it for a molten chocolate cake for me and my husband, but it would also be perfect for side dishes or a casserole for 1-2. It's too cute to put away after Valentine's Day; I will probably leave it on my counter with candy.
