Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) Personalized Woody Paddle

The Great Scrape is an all-natural BBQ cleaning tool with custom grooves that wear over time for a perfect fit with any grill.
2) Stainless Steel Sauteuse Pan

The ferritic stainless steel pans from SOLIDTEKNICS are built to last a lifetime. Made in the USA from U.S.-sourced steel, the sauteuse pan heats up evenly and faster than an aluminum pan. It has a seamless one piece construction that boosts durability—no screws, rivets, or gaps for build-up to collect. The pan works with a variety of heat sources and can go into the oven, onto an open flame, and cleans up in the dishwasher.
3) Food Stack Prep Kit

Making sushi and other beautifully presented meals at home is as easy as stacking. This kit’s stainless steel instruments help you create restaurant-grade plates. Your sushi will have a vertical flair and even ordinary meals like mac and cheese will look extra professional.
4) Cast Iron Handle Guards

American Bench Craft: Cast Iron Handle Guards - Black Leather
5) Classic & Spicy Salt Blend Duo

The salt blend duo set features Sel Magique's classic and spicy blends. All of their products are sustainably produced, hand-harvested, and batch-blended. The naturally high mineral content makes these salts incredibly flavorful in small amounts. Use on vegetables, meats, salads and more.
