Preparation
Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop entertaining after the long weekend. Continue to soak up the last of the warm weather by enjoying a cookout with family and friends. Make your last BBQ of the season even better by stocking up on the cookware, wine, and entertaining essentials that take any party from good to great. Here, the must-have Martha products that help you do just.
Cast-iron cookware pulls double-duty, first helping you prepare your meal, then helping you serve it stylishly. Martha’s enameled cast-iron Dutch ovens go seamlessly from oven to table, which means you can serve your sides in the same dishes they were prepared in. And if your grill tools are looking that a little worse for wear, know that Martha has plenty of options for you on that front, too.
