Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) 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.
2) DIY Chocolate Truffle Kit
This DIY Baking Kit for Chocolate Truffles provides all the pre-measured ingredients and a detailed recipe card so you can make gourmet truffles at home. The kit is hand-packed from start to finish by the Red Velvet team in Brooklyn, NY. The ingredients—including cocoa and sugar—are gluten free. This is the easiest way to bake at home, and a memorable activity for the whole family.
3) Bread Scooper
An innovative product that scoops out the inside of your favorite bagel or bread. After removing the inside breading, there's more room for the good stuff. The stainless steel blade pairs with an ergonomically designed handle for comfortable, effective use.
4) Bread Wrap
Use the warmth of your hands to mold the Bee's Wrap around bread or around the top of a large bowl or dish. The antibacterial properties of the beeswax and jojoba oil help to keep food fresh.
5) Sauce Press Jar
This sleek, stainless steel tool purees fruits and vegetables and conveniently catches the mixture in a sturdy jar—so you can process now or later. Perfect for making sauces for pasta or processing apples for applesauce.
