I know, I know, I’m not the type of cooking expert you think of when you think of buying gifts for cooks.. BUT these are my tried and true favorites and I would recommend them again and again to anyone!! They’d also be great for newlyweds getting their first apartment, someone getting a new house, even for people who hate cooking and just need things simplified 🙂
- Caraway Pans – I love this set of pans, and I also super love their bakeware sets they just came out with. They come in the cutest colors.
- Butter Crock – Last time I shared this you guys sold Amazon out. I’ve used this one for years with no issues. Soft butter is the best butter.
- Geometry Towels – These are probably my favorite things in my kitchen + bathroom.. They work the best PLUS they’re way cute. They just launched fall and holiday lines. My code: TARA15 will work on their whole site!
- Spice Canisters with Labels – Every single time I show my spices I get asked.. this is all I use! It’s a little more work but I LOVE the look.
- Always Pan – Do I even have to tell you how amazing these are, or do you know what I think by now?? I think I own close to every color. They are the best pans.
- Perfect Pot – A dutch oven + pot + roaster + 5 other things in one.. I just barely got mine but I’m loving it.
- Knives – This is truly the sharpest knife set I own.. I love that it matches my pots and pans. They only make 3 of them but really I’ve figured out you only need 3 good knives.
- Cutting Board – this is the cutest cutting board! It also self heals and doubles as a cute charcuterie board.
- Kitchenaid – This really is my favorite kitchen appliance.. I don’t use it a ton, but when I do it saves me soooo much time. Shredding chicken is my favorite way to use it I think..
- Meat Shredders – these are perfect for pulled port or chicken.. they won’t scratch your pans either!
- Mini Waffle Maker – I use this all of the time to make my morning eggs!! Takes like 15 seconds. Plus I suppose it’s cute for waffles too.. haha
- 4 Place Waffle Maker – this is the waffle maker I have in St. George for entertaining crowds.
- Oil/Vinegar Bottle – I love to leave my oil and vinegar out on a cute tray, but the bottles they come in are too ugly for me! Love these ones.
- Measuring Spoons – These are magnetic.. Makes it easy to keep them all in one place AND together.
- GIR Ladle – This is the best silicone ladle! It has measurement lines on it for scooping portions.
- Can Opener – I promise, you won’t need a man with this one! haha.
- Mix n’ Chop – This pampered chef Mix n’ Chop has been gifted to every one of my family members.. It’s the best, especially when cooking ground meat of any type!
- Silicone Oven Mitts – Not bulky, and the heat definitely won’t sneak through like it does on cloth ones.. I have these and love them because they’re super easy to wash off.
- Ninja Foodi – The holy grail, can-do-anything in a kitchen.. It’s got like 11 settings from saute to dehydrate to pressure cooking and making yogurt.. It’s the best little gadget!
- Alligator Chopper – This chopper is fantastic and super easy to clean. You can do a lot in a very little amount of time with this!
- GIR Spatulas: Spoon/Spatula Combo, Spatula/Turner Combo
- GIR Scraper – All-in-one spatula, dough cutter, bowl cleaner and scraper; conforms to the curvature of any mixing bowl!! It’s also heat resistant to 550 degrees.
- GIR Set – If someone you know needs a whole utensil overhaul, I totally recommend this one.
