So much neater then dealing with those slippery shells. The deep wells are perfect for some nice garlicy herb butter and the snails themselves. The cast iron holds heat and keeps the butter nice and melted. They make a nice statement on the table.
I love making escargot and I am really happy I found these escargot dishes because they are typically made out of ceramic and I love that these are made out of cast iron so that the when I am serving the escargot, it stays hot and browns the butter (the best part of escargot in my opinion!). These are also really easy to clean.
This dish screams celebration! What a festive event, such as NYE, could look like with this versatile dish; imagine escargot and champagne sips for everyone! I use this for so many other creations as well, individual servings of stuffing during the hoidays, eggs and spinch for brunch, or hash brown cups with eggs in the middle! This really has so many uses and is only limited by one's imagination.
