Pioneer Woman Kitchenware Has Hit Canadian Shelves!

   

For those of you who are Canadian Ree Drummond/Pioneer Woman fans, you'll be thrilled to learn that some of her kitchenware is now available here in Canada, exclusively at Walmart.

While her Canadian selection is not nearly as plentiful in variety as in the U.S., there are quite a few items that most would find not only functional, but adorable.  

In Canada, you will find casserole dishes, measuring and serving bowls, dinnerware sets, glassware, the famous Charlie Cookie Jar, and a slew of other items to complement your kitchen. 

From the Canadian line, I sampled the Pioneer Woman Flea Market 2-Piece Ceramic Bakeware Casserole Set. And from the American line, the Pioneer Woman Charming Check Tablecloth, as well as, the Pioneer Woman Vintage Speckle 12-Quart Stock Pot. 

The Pioneer Woman Flea Market 2-Piece Ceramic Bakeware Set comes with a medium sized 2.3qt floral casserole dish, as well as, a turquoise 3.6qt baker. They both have ruffled edges, and nest nicely together, making them easier to store. Both these bakers are oven safe, dishwasher safe, as well as, microwave safe. The jury is still out on whether or not they are freezer safe. I am waiting to hear back from the manufacturer to confirm whether or not these are actually freezer safe, as the packaging does not indicate either way. As soon as I hear back from them, I will update this section of the review. This set retails for approximately $20USD/$28CAN, and as stated, is available in both Canada, as well as, the U.S. 

The Pioneer Woman Charming Check Tablecloth is aptly named - it's definitely charming! It comes in a variety of lengths and shapes to fit most dinner tables, and is the exact same turquoise/teal colour as the rest of her line. The tablecloth is comprised of a 75% cotton/25% polyester blend, and is machine washable. The Charming Check Tablecloth retails for approximately $14-$19, depending on the size chosen. You can also purchase matching napkins and placemats, if you wish to have complete place settings. We have a harvest table, and this color scheme looks great against the rustic design of our table. 

The Pioneer Woman 12 Quart Stock Pot, allows you to make large batches of soup, stew, chili and other items in one pot. It comes in both red and turquoise, and is oven safe up to 500F. It is hand wash only, which can seem like a disadvantage, But truth be told, it would be difficult to get this pot into the dishwasher anyway due to its size. This Stock Pot retails in the U.S. for approximately $35USD. 

Overall, I really like these items. The tablecloth was great, and complements my kitchen well. The bakeware set is as delightful as Ree Drummond herself. With that being said, I do hope that they are freezer safe. If they aren't, then that would be a bit of a disappointment. I like to make a bunch of extra casseroles at a time and freeze them. Not having freezer safe bakeware takes away some of the functionality of the item. When reading consumer reviews on the stock pot, there were some comments left regarding the enamel sometimes chipping off of this pot, as well as, food sticking to the bottom. I didn't find that food stuck to the bottom if you had it at the right heat for what you were cooking. I even made Ree Drummond's Refried Beans recipe in this pot and it worked just fine. I didn't find that I had to stir or check the beans any more often than I would using another pan or pot. I also made tomato sauce in it, and it did not stick, burn or stain the pot. I did notice upon receipt of the stock pot though, that there were a few very tiny specks of enamel missing off the exterior bottom of the pot. The enamel inside the pot has been just fine for me so far. I hope it stays that way, as this pot isn't only esthetically pleasing, it's very practical.

In the U.S., you can find so many more Pioneer Woman items. I hope that we eventually get the wide selection here in Canada too! In the meantime, there are plenty of great items available to get your collection started.
