Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) Homemade Sauce & Mayonnaise Maker

Making homemade mayonnaise couldn’t be easier with the Kilner® Mayonnaise and Sauce Jar set. It only takes about three to four minutes to make fresh mayonnaise that's ready to serve. You can also make aioli, salad dressing, and other sauces using this handy kitchen gadget. The set also includes a two-piece sealing lid to store your homemade creations.
2) Herb Mill 2-in-1

Do two herb prep jobs with one tool. This herb mill has three differently sized holes that strip leaves from stems before you place them in the grinder. Inside, dual-action stainless steel blades work like scissors to chop and mince things like fresh cilantro, basil, parsley and more.
3) Stainless Steel Fish Spatula

Flipping made easier with a stainless steel fish spatula created with those delicate proteins in mind. Its thin, flexible tip makes maneuvering cooking fish more manageable and it feels well-balanced in hand. A built-in spoon rest helps keep surfaces clean when you set it down.
4) 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.
5) Ceramic Cooking & Serving Tagine Pot

This tagine pot is perfect for cooking and serving food at home. The dome-shaped lid allows for the ingredients within the pot to steam out, creating flavorful meals. Kamsah's proprietary handcrafting process ensures that your tagines are of the highest quality with absolutely no aesthetic defects. Each piece is made by local women for a fair wage in Nabeul, Tunisia, a city that’s been making renowned ceramics for centuries. And Kamsah supports the region even further, giving 10% of its profits to causes that benefit its artisans.
