No Images? Click here Pan-Roasted Rack of Lamb Rack of lamb is arguably at its best when the fat is given enough heat to sizzle, melt, and baste the rosy meat. This method delivers just that, cooking the rack from start to finish in a pan while basting it with melted browned butter that's infused with garlic and herbs. If you want, you can alter this recipe by starting with the reverse sear: put the seasoned lamb on a wire-rack set in a rimmed baking sheet in a low 250°F oven and cook until the eye of the loin registers your target temperature on an instant-read thermometer, then transfer to the hot skillet with butter, garlic, and herbs just long enough to give it a good final sear. The Kitchen Essential Carbon Steel Pan Daniel uses a 12-inch carbon steel pan to pan-roast this rack of lamb and today it's 25% off. More Lamb Recipes |

These Cake Stands Won't Let You Down
Some of Our Faves No Images? Click here These Cake Stands Won't Let You DownThese cake stands are so much more than just a pretty base—they're also sturdy and balanced enough to ensure your precious creation won't tip over. Get the full story here. Stella raves about this simple revolving cake stand in her roundup of essential baking tools. Not only does it make a nice presentation piece, it spins like a lazy Susan to help you evenly crumb-coat and frost your cake. This super-affordable cake stand from Target checks all the boxes: It’s heavy and evenly balanced, and it looks great. The marble top provides a flat surface for your cake, and the wooden bottom makes a nice, rustic-looking base. When you're looking for a piece of cooking or baking equipment that's both beautiful and functional, Le Creuset should always be at the top of your list. We originally ordered this cake stand last year to test for Mother's Day gifts, and since then, we've used it constantly in photo shoots because it's just that good. For more of a modern look, try this "serving pedestal" from Crate and Barrel, which has a smooth wooden surface that'll complement any color of frosting, plus a shiny, geometric brass bottom. It's the kind of handsome piece we might consider leaving out all the time, topped with a vase of flowers when it's not being used for its intended purpose. This marble-and-brass cake stand is super heavy and well balanced, and it looks like it'd fit right into a Vogue spread. In contrast with the Beck pedestal, the brass bottom here is brushed, for a subtler finish, and shaped like a thick cone. It's just as sturdy, but a little less flashy. This vintage number is a bit shy of our preferred 10-inch diameter, but it sure is pretty. If you're serving something smaller than an eight-inch cake, like cupcakes or cookies, it'll definitely make a lovely conversation piece. If you're going to photograph your baked goods—as we do—even better. Get the whole story (and read more equipment reviews) right here! |
