I was gifted these products by @debuyerusa and I c I was gifted these products by @debuyerusa and I can’t wait to show you what’s inside — and why I’m obsessed with carbon steel cookware.

For the first recipe I made in my new Mineral B Pro pan, I cooked this One-Pan Creamy Burrata Pesto Rosé Chicken — the golden sear, the even heat, the way the burrata melts into the sauce… unreal.

I love the simplicity of this marshmallow, sweet p I love the simplicity of this marshmallow, sweet potato casserole. Sweet, crunchy, creamy, gooey - the checks every box for the holiday side dish!

Sweet Potato Layer:
* 3 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled, cooked & quartered
* 2 tablespoon butter
* ¼ cup milk
* 1 teaspoon cinnamon
* 1 teaspoon vanilla
* 2 tablespoon brown sugar
* ½ teaspoon salt

Mash everything together until smooth, then spread into a greased square or rectangle baking dish.

Marshmallow Topping:
* 2 cups mini marshmallows
* ¼ cup brown sugar
* ⅓ cup pecans (optional, but SO good for crunch)

Mix topping ingredients and sprinkle all over the sweet potato layer.
Bake at 350°F for 20–30 minutes, keeping an eye on the marshmallows — pull it out when they’re perfectly golden and gooey.

Save this for Thanksgiving and Christmas… trust me. 🤤🔥
