Whether you’re looking to splurge on a loved one or get some small but thoughtful gifts for a friend or colleague who loves cooking, this guide is a great place to start looking. With 10 sought-after ideas to choose from, you’ll be on your bucket list in no time with all the home cooking on your list.
1. Appliances That Deserve to Be on Your Wishlist
Is your favorite chef missing key ingredients in their kitchen gear – such as a good stand mixer or food processor? If so, giving one of these staples would surely be a hit. If they already have these critical appliances, consider purchasing a newer one, such as a multi-cooker or a soda maker.
2. A Sparkling Copper Pot
“Bright copper pot and warm wool gloves” may be the lyrics of the song, but for serious home cooks, copper pots are more impressive. Copper is an excellent conductor of heat, and copper cookware is ideal when a consistent temperature distribution must be maintained.
3. Multifunctional Netherlands Grill
A high-quality Netherlands grill can easily go from the stovetop to the oven to the dining table. It also lasts a lifetime and looks beautiful. Even if the chef on your list already has a Netherlands griddle, another Netherlands griddle of a different size or color is always welcome.
4. Professional Baking Accessories
Help them take their baking to the next level with digital kitchen scales, nonstick baking mats, plumbing kits, and even kitchen torches that measure accurately. Pair with specialty sugar or flour for a personal touch.
5. Convenient Tablet Holder
If the chefs on your list use online recipes, it’s easier to refer to those recipes with a stylish tablet stand. Do they like paper recipes? Choose a traditional recipe stand with a new recipe.
6. Colorful Kitchen Towels
Clean kitchen towels are simple but always needed. Pile up a stack of colourful towels and tie them with ribbons, or pair a fun tea towel with a beautiful hand soap and dish soap for a set.
7. Wooden Bowls
The beautiful wooden bowl can be used for salads and side dishes, or for displaying fresh produce. If you want to add something extra, pair it with a nice set of cutlery.
8. Tool Upgrades
Good knives are at the heart of any chef’s kit. Upgrade their collectibles with new knives or accessories – such as a sharpener, cutting board, or magnetic knife holder.
9. Quality Cooking Tools
Whether it’s a beautifully carved wooden spoon, the perfect pepper grinder or a razorine sharp, having the right tools is all that matters.
10. Healthy Living Helper
For the health-conscious chefs on your list, consider investing in a juicer or blender for green juices and smoothies, a spiral shredder for veggie noodles, or a steamer for healthy veggie dishes.
