Click here Gifts for the Cook Who Has Everything Everyone knows someone who seems to have every cooking tool and gadget in existence, and you might think that your best bet for buying them a good gift is either to go big and shell out a bunch of cash on something cooking-related or just go with something else, like a tie or a book. But we here at Serious Eats believe that even the cook who has everything deserves a thoughtful gift for their kitchen. Here are our recommendations. A Supportive Floor Mat Obviously, your giftee spends a lot of time in the kitchen, and thus on their feet. To give their joints a break, treat them to a GelPro Floor Mat. With a 1/2-inch core of gel, it makes standing over a pot of risotto for an hour far more comfortable. Better Ingredients So maybe your giftee really does have all the equipment they could ever need. In that case, we recommend buying them some delicious specialty ingredients. How about Stella's favorite Dutch-process cocoa powder, which will make every brownie and cup of hot chocolate taste luxuriously rich? A Clean House Simply put, having a Dyson vacuum makes cleaning fun. Ask any Dyson owner and you'll see the glimmer in their eyes as they describe the sheer joy that comes with sucking away dust bunnies, cookie crumbs, excess flour—anything that could possibly get in the way of a clean home. Pizza Anywhere If the person you're buying a gift for has a kitchen that's already overflowing with tools and equipment, try getting them something they can use elsewhere. Like this amazing portable pizza oven. Stick it in the trunk and bring it to the park for a Neopolitan-style picnic. It can heat to 930°F in just 10 minutes, which means they'll be producing gorgeous, chewy, crusty dough with bubbling cheese and just-singed sauce in no time. SPONSORED The Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven This Cuisinart fryer has seven different functions, so not only will it crisp up your French fries, it’ll do a spectacular job of making your morning toast (up to six slices at a time), and it can even cook a 12-inch pizza. You can replace your old toaster oven, your old toaster, and even your stand-alone air fryer with this Cuisinart model, and home cooking will get a whole lot easier. |
