Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) Fast-Prep Kitchen Slicer
This kitchen slicer tool helps make quicker work of cutting awkwardly-shaped foods like cherry tomatoes, grapes, and olives. It’s Made in the USA and gives you a better grip while slicing through foods by holding them in place. It even works on chicken breasts and shrimp.
2) Cast Iron Handle Guards
American Bench Craft: Cast Iron Handle Guards - Black Leather
3) DIY Chocolate Truffle Kit
This DIY Baking Kit for Chocolate Truffles provides all the pre-measured ingredients and a detailed recipe card so you can make gourmet truffles at home. The kit is hand-packed from start to finish by the Red Velvet team in Brooklyn, NY. The ingredients—including cocoa and sugar—are gluten free. This is the easiest way to bake at home, and a memorable activity for the whole family.
4) Spice Gallery Gift Set
Take dishes up a flavorful notch with an artisanal spice gift set. Essentials like sea salt and chilli flakes sit alongside out-of-the-ordinary spice blends (ever try lemon peel, sage, and bee pollen?). It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure purity and freshness, and the blends are unique to Curio Spice Co. A tea towel and handy recipe cards round out this perfectly giftable set.
5) Ceramic Rice Cooker
This ceramic rice cooker makes a delicious pot of rice every time. Cordless and compact, it boils on the stove for a few minutes and retains heat as it simmers and sits. Its lid ensures water won’t boil over, while condensation drips down to prevent freshly cooked rice from drying out.
