Ok, so which one would you recommend for dips? :chef:

THANK YOU ALL!
 
Mini baker!!! WHOO HOOO!!!:D Small oval baker is too small!
 
I choose Mini Baker too. I started laughing when I first read the thread title Stoneware for Dips. I thought you were going to talk about how people who are "dips" or not very smart can use stoneware. :p :p
 
The mini baker is the perfect size for dips.

I thought about the title after I posted it!! :D
 
I don't have the mini baker, so I've always used the small oval baker.
 
Depends on how good the dip is! ;)

I usually use the mini-baker. For large parties I use the square baker and make a big batch.
 
Mini-Baker!!!
 
Usually the mini baker, but sometimes, for just a little, I use the small oval baker! I'm sad they're getting rid of it!:(
 
Me too! I have had the vanilla one since I got it in my kit and I went ahead and ordered a Cranberry one when I found out they were being discontinued!! :D
 
The mini baker is what I generally use, but I double a lot of the dips (especially the pizza dip and taco dip) and use them in the deep dish baker for parties. It works very well. Just put it on my large woven selections round tray, scatter chips, voila! Perfect!
 
Actually I just made the touchdown taco dip and needed it for a crowd. So I used the pie plate, which I normally would have used a pyrex pie plate, I figured why not use my stoneware pie plate. It will keep warm en route to my party and I am sure to stir up conversation about my business.

HTH!

Mini baker...

I didn't have one of these until last month, and now can't imagined how I got along without it.

Last night I made a sort of apple/pear/cherry pie in it, top crust only. So, I guess it was more like a buckle, but it was perfect for 2. Ok, there was more than enough for two, but at least we didn't HAVE to eat a whole pie!!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some popular dip recipes for a party?

Some popular dip recipes for a party include classic spinach artichoke dip, buffalo chicken dip, seven-layer dip, guacamole, and a creamy ranch dip. Each of these dips offers a unique flavor and can be paired with various dippers like chips, veggies, or bread.

How can I make a healthier dip for my guests?

To make a healthier dip, consider using Greek yogurt as a base instead of sour cream or mayonnaise. You can also add fresh herbs and spices for flavor without extra calories. Dips like hummus, tzatziki, or a black bean dip are great options that are both nutritious and delicious.

Can I prepare dips in advance for my event?

Yes, many dips can be prepared in advance. You can make them a day or two before your event and store them in the refrigerator. Just be sure to cover them tightly to maintain freshness. Some dips, like guacamole, may brown, so consider adding lime juice to help preserve their color.

Great dippers include tortilla chips, pita chips, fresh vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers, breadsticks, and crackers. You can also use pretzels or even sliced baguette for a more gourmet touch. Offering a variety of dippers will cater to different tastes and preferences.

How can I make my dip stand out at a gathering?

To make your dip stand out, consider adding unique ingredients or flavors that aren't commonly used. You can also serve your dip in a creative way, such as in a hollowed-out bread bowl or alongside themed garnishes. Presentation is key, so use colorful serving dishes and arrange your dippers attractively.
