Is this something that could be made the night before and served the next day? Just wondering how it holds up...I would love to bring this to a party at work next week.
Having never seen the 11" ceramic skillet...is it the same style as our 12" (or 10") covered skillets where the sides are definitely straight up and down? Or are the sides more sloped like the saute pans?
Thanks!
