If you've ever had fajitas in a Mexican restaurant, you know one of the best parts is the sizzling plate on which the meal is brought.At home, it's not practical in most cases to bring your entire skillet out to the table, and even if you can do that it's more fun to have individual sizzling plates to serve yourself from.That's exactly what this is.Buy one per person or per two people, stick them in the oven while you make your fajitas on a larger skillet and transfer the food to this heated mini-skillet.Ba da bing! Instant sizzle that'll last right to the table and bring smiles to your family and guests.
Obviously, this is only a practical gift if fajitas are a staple item in your home.If they're not, you might consider it, particularly if you've got a family.Fajitas are incredibly healthy (just sliced proteins like chicken breast, flank steak, shrimp, whatever, with onions and peppers and whatever other veggies you want), quite cheap, fast to make and of course tons of fun when you bring those sizzling platters out to your family.Persons concerned about glutens or grains can wrap the fajitas in any strong large-leafed green. And of course you can adjust how healthy or not by adding or subtracting sour cream, cheese, guac, etc. as accompaniments.
The fajita "set" is only one skillet, along with a cute mini oven mitt customized for the skillet and a wooden undercarriage so you don't ruin your table.The skillet is a Lodge, well made and easy to keep seasoned.The little mitt is kind of cute and a nice touch.
I will say that the finish on the wood underpinnings is pretty cheap -it's starting to fade after just a few uses.That and the relatively high price (You can buy a 10" or 12" Lodge skillet for less.Which you should.) hold back the rating here to four stars.Five stars, IMO, are for a must-have item and these are by any definition a fun extravagance.
