Oh, love these. Thanks for the cool ideas!
I was gifted a heart-shaped egg poacher last year. Silly, but fun to make eggs benedict with heart-shaped eggs!

A note for anyone who doesn't want to add another specialty pan to their cupboard: you can make a big one-layered heart-shaped cake by baking a two-layer cake in a square cake pan and a round cake of the same width. When they're baked and cooled, turn the square so it's diamond-shaped from your perspective, then cut the circle into semi-circles and position one on each side of the diamond top. (Demonstrated here, just so you can see it.)
Ta-DA! I remember how enchanted I was as a little kid to learn that trick.
Love it! Pun intended. How about measuring cups or this bamboo spoon?
I was admiring my boyfriend's mom's le creuset heart-shaped 2-qt casserole, and then she went ahead and bought me one as a gift. I adore it. It's just right for two people, though if you're thinking of leftovers, you might find it a tad small.
These are so cute! I could never bring myself to buy a couple of these because they seem impractical. But if someone gave me one, I wouldn't be sad!
Got the le crueset heart-shaped dealie as a (very nice) wedding present 11 years ago. It is WONDERFUL and still like new. Ever useful and lovely, for stove top or oven. A thing of beauty and nostalgia. Of course, my husband probably doesn't remember where we got it!
Great item, they sould make a set with these.
