| No Images? Click here  Our Favorite Splurge-Worthy Gifts for Cooks and Food Lovers Last week, we scoured the world of cookware to find and share our favorite gifts under $50 and under $100. These affordable presents are a good reminder that buying essential kitchen goods doesn't have to leave you without money for groceries. But we know that sometimes you want to give someone a real showstopper, a splurge gift to blow all other gifts out of the water. Here are some of our favorites. If you need more inspiration, you'll find a lot more cookware and useful kitchen tools right here in our gift guide.   Breville Ice Cream Machine Our favorite compressor ice cream maker, made by Breville, comes fully loaded with 12 hardness settings and precool and keep-cool options, as well as classic ice cream truck tunes that alert you when your ice cream is done churning. A song to celebrate ice cream made well? Yes, please. 
The Finest Belgian-Waffle Maker We tested over a dozen waffle makers, and this super-swanky number from All-Clad was a clear winner. If your giftee swears by crisp-on-the-outside, fluffy-on-the-inside Belgian-style waffles with deep divots for luscious toppings, this is the machine to make them smile. (PS: It's on sale today!)  Deluxe Digital Electric Smoker Treat the griller and smoker in your life to this WiFi-enabled electric smoker. It's about as "set it and forget it" as it gets, delivering all the notifications you need to your smartphone, while delivering impressively professional results. 
A Crumb-Free Kitchen Use this miracle handheld vacuum to gather up pesky crumbs between your stove and dishwasher or dropped nibbles after a dinner party. It's so powerful that it makes cleaning—gasp!—actually fun.  The Best Dutch Oven A good enameled cast iron Dutch oven is made to last. And when it's made by a time-honored brand like Le Creuset, you can bet it'll be as beautifully made as it is useful and durable. Tuck one of these under the tree (or the Hanukkah bush) this year to guarantee the recipient a lifetime of braises and stews, crusty breads, and so much more.
