Instead of buying another appliance to clutter their counter, you can just get this special lid that fits on top of their 6-quart Instant Pot cooker. It makes healthy versions of fried foods like chicken and fries and makes leftovers crispier and more appetizing.
A cookbook that revolves around the most important meal of the day
Make no mistake — these aren't your basic breakfast recipes. There are more than 100 recipes covering every category of breakfast you can think of: eggs, pastries, smoothie bowls, and more. One morning, they can make huevos rancheros, and the next, a Vietnamese breakfast sandwich.
Le Creuset stoneware that "Star Wars" fans may consider more beautiful
It turns out that droids are also helpful in the kitchen! This set of three cocottes works perfectly for small meals. Each is specially designed with a specific droid in mind, so if you're loyal to your favorite, you can individually purchase the R2-D2, C-3PO, and BB-8 cocottes.
Coravin's patented wine system preserves the quality and taste of wine, so your recipient can enjoy a taste or glass without ruining the entire bottle. It works by penetrating the cork with a thin needle to let them pour out the wine. Then, as they pour, it fills the interior of the bottle with argon gas to protect the wine from oxidizing.
They've already worked hard enough preparing the bulk of their meal. With these battery-operated mills, they can dispense the finishing touch of ground-up salt and pepper with just one hand. They come pre-filled with salt crystals and whole peppercorns.
The Santoku knife is the unsung hero of the kitchen. Like a chef's knife, it's excellent for slicing and dicing, but it's also great for chopping. This Japanese-crafted knife features 34 ultra-thin layers of stainless steel on each side of the blade, and there are indentations along the bottom to prevent sticking.
A mouth-watering cheese spread deserves equally sleek tools to serve it. There are four knives — curved, semi heart, wide, thin — to slice through a variety of cheese. The handles are carved from a handsome Mediterranean hardwood.
Flour Shop is the bakery known for its "Rainbow Explosion Cake," a colorful six-layer cake with a sprinkle-filled core. If they have a sweet tooth and a penchant for anything rainbow, they'll love this all-inclusive kit.
Kitchen tools don't have to be boring. Help them brighten their counter with this set of four spatulas and four spoonulas. The silicone heads are flexible yet durable and can withstand temperatures up to 600°F.
Flaky, buttery croissants, pain au chocolate, and kouign-amann are the focus of this gift. They come frozen from Le Marais Bakery in San Francisco and will make your recipient's kitchen smell like a Parisian cafe.
Burgundian clay is known for distributing and retaining heat evenly, giving them a warm, perfectly browned pie every time. And the ruffled edge makes it look as good it tastes.
The striking kettle is made from heavy-duty stainless steel that heats up quickly and looks beautiful on the stove. Somehow, the ergonomic handle doesn't get too hot while their water is boiling.
With this gift, they can incorporate black or white truffle into every part of their meal, whether they sprinkle it over popcorn to elevate movie night or spread it over crostini for an exciting appetizer.
The limited-edition mixer is a slightly smaller version of the commercial-size models, but doesn't sacrifice power and efficiency. It features 10 mixing speeds that allow them to make a variety of recipes, a beater that scrapes both the sides and middle of the bowl, and most obviously, a vintage-style, textured ceramic bowl.
The machine is expensive, but it also does the bulk of the work: mixing, kneading, and shaping. All your recipient needs to do is measure their ingredients and add them to the machine. As they become more comfortable with it, they can experiment with different flavors and recipes.
Cookie cutters for your family's resident "Harry Potter" fan
While a Hufflepuff will bake more than enough cookies to feed everyone at the party, a Slytherin might keep them all to themselves, or only relinquish the burned ones. Just be warned that the detailed designs might be challenging to decorate for beginning bakers.
The first step to a successful grilling session is having a clean grill. This brush steams up their grill so they can scrub away all the grease and residue quickly and thoroughly.
The handy scoop dispenses rows and rows of uniform cookie dough balls every single time. Get the small size for 2-inch diameter cookies and the medium size for 2.75-inch diameter cookies.
The screen protects not only skin but also the nearby walls from stubborn, oily grease. It's a clever design because it has perforations to allow steam to escape and prevent the food from becoming soggy.
While the nonstick pan is formally designed to make fluffy madeleines, the shape of the molds also works for any other similar type of batter, like corn cake or biscuit.
The compact tool's sharp blades and powerful motor grind everything from cinnamon sticks to nuts into a fine dust. Or, if you'd prefer a more chunky texture, press on the lid a fewer number of times.
A spiralizer that can turn a vegetable into four different shapes
Angel hair, spiral cut, shoestring, or ribbon — they can pick any of these cuts that will make eating vegetables more interesting. The spiralizer works will all firm fruits and vegetables, including apples, carrots, and zucchini.
Nito is a type of fern found abundantly in the Philippines. As it turns out, it also makes for an eye-catching and easy-to-maintain material for drink coasters.
A mini beer station that turns their kitchen counter into their favorite neighborhood bar
Everything in All-Clad's d5 Stainless Steel line features five layers of stainless steel and aluminum, a construction that's durable and highly heat conductive. A fry pan may not be the most exciting kitchen gift, but it'll certainly be one of the most useful.
A smoker box is a shortcut to infuse any meat with smoke. It's not as large as a full smoker (it can fit inside a grill), but it'll trap and circulate the smoke to give their chicken, fish, and beef an enhanced barbecue taste.
The oven gets its "smart" moniker from its internal sensor tech that automatically adjusts power and calculates cooking time. There are eight preset cooking functions to accompany the large nonstick interior and a heat setting that goes up to 450°F.
