Gift Guide for the Chef in the kitchen
Are you the chef in the kitchen? Is your brother, dad, boyfriend, girlfriend, husband or wife a chef in the kitchen? Well, whomever it is the following gifts will be sure to make the wanna be chef help more or become the actual chef in the kitchen. Check out these items we were testing out. They all made me want to start cooking especially when I didn’t have to sit there can cut vegetables.
This is our Gift Guide for the Chef in the kitchen! Even if you are gifting yourself all of the below will come in handy.
Before you start cooking you should always prepare a glass of wine for yourself or a cocktail. It is said that a drink of water or anything liquid 20 minutes before you eat prevents you from eating a ton. So, pour yourself a glass of whisky through this Vinturi Spirit Aerator. It can be used on all spirits like whisky, bourbon, cognac and more. Similar to a wine aerator the Vinturi Spirit Aerator releases the full potential of any undiluted spirit, allowing it to be appreciated like never before. The Vinturi Spirit Aerator is an essential tool for the modern at-home bartender, who is looking to expand their repertoire and elevate their skills. Unlike the classic wine aerators, the Vinturi Spirit aerator features a convenient, built-in jigger to effortlessly measure out servings and a sleek, compact design. Pick one up for $39.99 at vinturi.com.
It’s time to start chopping up the vegetables and that is something I really hate doing, however now with this Kenmore food processor it makes life a whole lot easier. Any person cooking a large meal would appreciate this. Now on sale and for only $64.99 on the kenmore site anyone can create masterful sauces, salsas, salads and other culinary treats when you use this food processor. It easily and safely add foods through the food pusher chute located on the top. Whether pulsing or chopping, this processor can hold up to 11 cups of your favorite concoction. Go ahead and start prepping for that huge feast you will be having this holiday.
Who doesn’t like guacamole and chips? A perfect gift this holiday for the chef in the kitchen is this Granite Molcajete set from IMUSA. Crush it, stir it and mash it up! Made from ultra-durable natural granite, this mortar & pestle extracts essential oils from herbs and spices – dried & fresh. Granite’s nonporous qualities prevent it from absorbing those oils, keeping the flavor in your food and not in the tool. The weight of the stone provides stability and makes pounding a cinch. This molcajete is large enough to grind up a party-size batch of guacamole, then mix and serve it in the same bowl. So break out the tortilla chips and get ready for the fiesta! Pick up a set at any Macy’s, Target or Bed, Bath and Beyond.
Your chef is now ready to start cooking some stuff so something else from our gift guide for the chef in the kitchen is this Lagostina Martellata Tri-Ply Hammered Copper 10-Piece Set ($799.99 at bloomingdale’s). The set includes: 8″ skillet, 10″ skillet, 2-quart saucepan with lid, 3-quart saucepan with lid, 3-quart deep sauté with lid, 6-quart stockpot with lid. The pans are hammered copper with stainless steel handles and lids, which are oven safe up to 500ºF. These hammered copper pans look great hanging up in the kitchen as decoration. Therefore, make sure they are hand washed and not put in the dishwasher so they keep their look.
So, now it is time for coffee and dessert after all of the cooking and eating. We recommend you get your hands on this new invention, which coffee lovers will appreciate, Ninja Coffee Bar. This bad boy has Thermal Flavor Extraction™ technology, which delivers a variety of sizes and styles while achieving the perfect brew richness level every time.
- Auto-iQ™ One Touch Intelligence Technology delivers customizable options for smooth, rich coffee in a cup, travel mug or carafe.
- Makes refreshing iced coffee by allowing users to dial up the richness of their coffee to offset the dilution caused by melting ice.
- Offers a variety of brewing options including Classic Brew, Rich Brew, Over Ice Brew and Specialty Brew.
- Available at major retailers nationwide, starting at $149.99 MSRP
I love this machine since not only do I get to enjoy my coffee but I also can make my favorite cold brew drinks. However, I love it even more because Sofia Vergara is the face of the brand. Pick up one with either the glass carafe or with double-walled thermal carafe. Either one will satisfy your coffee buds.
