We love this bread basket and use it often, especially when we make fresh sourdough bread with dinner. This bread basket comes with a warming stone to help keep your bread warm throughout the meal. You just warm it up in the oven and place it in the basket. The add a tea towel and place your bread inside. Cover with the towel and it'll hold on the heat and keep your bread fresh and warm, like it just came out of the oven. Such a great addition to your Thanksgiving table!
