Thanks for all the recipesHi,

Thank you Kristin for so many yummy recipes. I am a new consultant and don't have any cookware yet, but I do have the deep dish baker. Can I do the melting over low heat using the baker and then transfer it to the oven? Or should I use something else on the stovetop?

Thanks

You're not supposed to use stoneware on the stovetop. But you could probably melt the butter in the DDB in the microwave.
