Christmas gifts for cooks
Below are some ideas to get you started shopping for your chef. Depending on your budget, you can buy one or a combination of these gift ideas.
1. Handheld graters
These graters aren't like your typical box grater. Designed after woodworking tools, these work very effectively. Used for grating cheese, zesting fruits, making chocolate curls and much more, a hand-held grater will be sure to please.
2. Mandoline slicers
This is a quick alternative to breaking out the food processor when you need just a few items sliced. These are quick, efficient and are conveniently dishwasher safe.
3. Chef knives
Any list of Christmas gift ideas for cooks has to include knives. One of the most important items a good cook needs is a great set of knives. Check around and get a complete set.
4. Silpat baking liner
Wonderful. I don't know how I ever did without this item. This is a non-stick backing mat you can use to bake cookies, work with caramel, taffy, or fondant, roll out dough or anything that is remotely sticky.
5. Silicone cooking items
Many cooks haven't ventured into investing money on silicone items, but they are worth the money. You can buy everything in silicone from muffin pans, cake pans, casserole dishes, to utensils, and mitts. These are absolutely great.
6. Cook's Illustrated
This is the ultimate magazine for cooks. You can buy sets of years past and give an entire cooking education.
