GlobeIn "Bakers Box" Review
1 of 4
Rectangular Baker Dish, Morocco - Retail Value $45.00
Measurements: 12" W x 8.5" L x 2.5" H.
Materials: Ceramic
I thought this dish was charming the moment I saw it. While I am not typically drawn to red, I can't help but think this dish is so festive for the holidays without going overboard. I wish the beautiful designs had been on the outside of it somehow too, as they are usually covered with whatever I am baking, but the whole thing still is adorable. It also feels sturdy and well made. As someone who usually has clear glass baking dishes, this is a welcome addition to my kitchen!

Felt Pom Pom Trivet, Nepal - Retail Value $28.00
Measurements: 8.8" D x 1" H.
Materials: Felted Wool
These looked like straight-up meatballs to me at first! But in a good way. This effect is from the woolen balls being dyed in a red to orange ombre style. We have been using the same trivets in my kitchen for years. Literally they are ones I knitted in college! So we are way overdue for an upgrade or three. Again, my kitchen is a lot more neutral in terms of colors than this or the baking dish, but I kind of like adding a little rustic brick red for the fall.
Cute!

Golden Corn Bread Mix, 3 oz (makes approximately 16 slices) - Retail Value $10.00
I am Southern, so cornbread is just a regular on my table, just as it was when I was growing up! I am always a little bit skeptical about any mix other than my mom's favorite blue and white box, but I decided to give this a try anyway. The mix felt more granular than my regular go-to, and the end effect was a little more rustic. It also wasn't as sweet, which was ok, because I usually top my cornbread off with a scattering of super raw sugar anyways. It bakes up into a crunchy and sweet top layer than is addictive. My mom likes to mix in chilis with her cornbread, but I like to keep it simple, and this mix with a little sugar baked up perfectly. Just add butter!
The Verdict: The GlobeIn 'Baker's Box' had a very fall feel to it. I think it was the red and orange colors and the fact that I always am baking heartier casseroles and dishes in the fall. True, this box felt a little pricy for what was inside, but I can't deny that everything was well made and also delicious! It might have benefitted from a fourth item to feel like a better value. Maybe a coordinating spoon rest?
