Burrata with asparagus, Parma ham and basil dressing
I love handling this type of dish, especially when I have good ingredients. It's an assembly of components. Dishes with burrata are a bit difficult. One globe per person seems too much, but once you split them the cream inside starts to come out. Go for split or whole, depending on your appetite. There's nothing wrong with using frozen peas, especially petits pois – they're little pops of sweetness. Ingredients For the dressing 125ml extra-virgin olive oil (not a bitter Tuscan one), plus extra for drizzling 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar, or as needed ½ tsp Dijon mustard 20g basil leaves (no stalks) ½ small shallot, diced For the salad 175g asparagus 30g fresh or frozen peas, defrosted if frozen 25g pea shoots 4 slices Parma ham, torn into pieces 2 burratas Method Step To make the dressing, add 125ml extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tbsp white balsamic vinegar, ½ tsp Dijon mustard and 20g basil leaves to a food processor with ½ tbsp water and some seasoning, and whizz. Step Add ½ small diced shallot – it will flavour the dressing as it sits – and pulse until you get a thickness similar to pesto. Taste to see whether you want to fiddle a bit with the seasoning, oil or white balsamic. This makes more dressing than you need but it keeps well in the fridge. Step Prepare 175g asparagus by snapping off the tough woody end of each spear. Steam the asparagus for about 7 minutes, or until just tender – the timing will depend on the thickness of the spears. Dry in a clean tea towel to absorb the moisture clinging to them. Step Divide the salad components – the asparagus, 30g fresh or frozen peas, 25g pea shoots, 4 slices torn Parma ham and 2 burratas – between your plates. Season everything and spoon some of the basil dressing over the top. Add a swirl of extra-virgin olive oil and serve.

This Pizza Steel Takes My Pizza to the Next Level, and It's 15% Off Now for Memorial Day
I've made a lot of pizza at home over the years. In fact, over the weekend I just made a yummy summer flatbread pizza with burrata, pesto, prosciutto and peaches. In the past, I've used everything from baking sheets to pizza stones, and while they all sort of got the job done, nothing really nailed that crispy, golden-bottom crust I get from my favorite local pizzeria. And making pizza with these tools was often too much of a time investment for me to even bother. That changed when I got my hands on the HexClad Hybrid Pizza Steel. I honestly didn't think a slab of steel could upgrade my pizza game this much, but here we are. And better yet, it's now 15% off with HexClad's Memorial Day Sale, bringing the price down to $127. Memorial Day Appliance Deals Our shopping experts have found all of the best appliance deals across every Memorial Day Sale, so you can spend less time shopping and enjoy tariff-proof savings. See now For more Memorial Day deals, explore our roundup of all the live sales now, and these top Memorial Day mattress deals. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Let's talk about specs At first glance, it looks like a fancy, large metal frisbee. It's a 14.5-inch round pizza steel that fits up to a 14-inch pie and it's surprisingly lightweight for the size -- just about 4.5 pounds -- which made a big difference when I was sliding it in and out of the oven. What sets this one apart is its build: it's a tri-ply combo with a super-conductive aluminum core between layers of stainless steel, topped with HexClad's trademark laser-etched nonstick surface. That means it heats up fast, cooks evenly and won't cling to melted cheese like your standard pizza stone. Bonus: It's oven- and grill-safe up to 900°F, dishwasher-safe (hallelujah!) and comes with built-in handles that actually make it easy to move without risking a tragic drop of your finished pizza. Why I love my pizza steel (and how I use it) Let's start with the crust, which is honestly my favorite part of any pizza. (You will never find leftover pizza crusts left on my plate). I made the same pizza dough I always make and popped it onto the HexClad steel. During the baking, the bottom crisped up as if I had used a wood-fired oven. It had that slight char and audible crunch when I sliced into it. I've never gotten that kind of result with a stone, no matter how long I preheated it. Macy Meyer/CNET And I love that I didn't have to wait 45 minutes to get started. The aluminum core heats fast, so I wasn't burning daylight waiting for the oven to catch up. The nonstick surface worked flawlessly too. Whenever rogue cheese and toppings slipped off, I was able to wipe it right off without any elbow grease. Cleanup was laughably easy. I usually dread scrubbing my cooking gear, but this one? A quick rinse, a swipe of the sponge and that was that. No baked-on mess, no soaking overnight required. I even tossed it in the dishwasher once to test the claim and it came out looking just the same as it did before the wash. Tricky storage I think this steel from HexClad is just about perfect, but it has one downside. Even though it's lighter than a lot of baking steels, it's still a solid hunk of metal. And while it's not heavy-heavy, it's not exactly dainty either. This might just be a me problem, but I've found that storage can be tricky. It's round and wide, which means it doesn't slide easily into my drawers or my kitchen island cabinets. I've had to store it on top of my fridge since that's the only place in my kitchen that can hold a kitchen tool this flat and wide. My final verdict If you're serious about homemade pizza, the HexClad Hybrid Pizza Steel is a total game-changer. I didn't expect it to make that big of a difference, but it did. The crust, the convenience and the easy cleanup all adds up to a tool I now reach for weekly for my pizza nights. Is it a bit of an investment? Yes. But if you make pizza even semi-regularly (or know someone who does and you're looking for a solid gift idea), then this thing pays for itself in better pies and quicker cleanup. And for $127 right now, it's a great value for the performance. Considering this steel has almost 300 5-star reviews, I'm not the only one who thinks so.
