Sending a big thank you to Pampered Chef for providing this amazing product for review as well as sponsoring the giveaway. All opinions are my own.

The weather outside is frightful and it’s definitely more delightful indoors. While I’m not a huge fan of the freezing Minnesota winters, I do enjoy some of the yummy foods that come with this time of year. I have a great chili recipe as well as some delicious soups, and other comfort foods that definitely make the days a bit more bearable. Since I love turning to Pampered Chef to help provide me with the best tools and cookware to make these meals happen, I’m thrilled to partner with them on today’s 2016 Emily Reviews Holiday Gift Guide stop. They offer such an amazing selection of products that truly help turn meal times into memories with style and ease.

Pampered Chef is known for their innovative and amazing kitchen products and their brand new Rockcrok Dutch Oven XL is definitely going to become a quick favorite for many. The extra large 8 quart size features 11” diameter pot that includes a sleek glass lid. I love the fact that I can take this from the oven to the stove top to the table seamlessly and it looks gorgeous too! The Rockcrok has been created from a clay and is heat-resistant to 752°F (allowing me to boil, braise, simmer, slow cook, grill, microwave, bake, and fry!) while the glass lid is rated oven safe for up to 400 degrees. The see through glass lid is a huge bonus for me as I love being able to see what’s happening when I cook.
