Marinating meat can take several hours, even overnight, in some cases. When you want to get dinner on the table, you don’t have time for that! This marinator can do the job in just five minutes! The secret is the vacuum pump. The marinate is dishwasher-safe.
I had never seen one of these until I visited a friend who has enough kitchen gadgets to stock a Williams-Sonoma, and she used one. This is a grater plate!

This pie pan is as beautiful as their pies, and they are delicious! Made of ceramic, it measures nine inches. The smooth glaze makes the surface nonstick, and the pan can also be used for frittatas and quiches.

Knowing a lot about food doesn’t necessarily mean knowing wine and what foods and wines pair best. Consider these towels your cheat sheet! The towels show which red and white wines go best with main dishes and appetizers. These make a cute hostess gift.
It’s not just pepper that’s better when it’s freshly ground; the same goes for salt! And pink Himalayan sea salt is prized among cooks.

Take taco night up a notch with handmade tortillas! The cast-iron press is already seasoned, measures 8 inches, and includes 100 pieces of parchment paper. The press can also be used for hand-pie shells, tostones, dumplings, rotis, and more.

Hard butter is terrible- it tears up your toast! This butter keeper allows your butter to stay on the counter at room temperature while staying fresh. The bamboo lid has a rubber seal to keep air out and includes a butter-spreading knife. This cute crock is available in several colors.
This bowl is handmade by a master potter. It is used to wash and store fresh berries. The holes allow water and liquid to drain away, so the berries stay fresh for longer. The bowl is dishwasher- and microwave-safe.
Honey deserves better than a plastic bear squeezy bottle! Store honey in this pretty and functional dispenser instead. The glass container prevents sticky leaks and drips. Squeeze the lever, and the honey comes out the bottom. Release and the valve will close instantly. The dispenser can also hold syrup, sugar, and chocolate syrup.
A spoon rest is another great way to keep the kitchen clean while cooking. The hummingbird spoon rest is ceramic and will be a hit with cooks and hummingbird lovers! The rest measures 5.25 inches in diameter.

This set is just what they need to make their cast iron last a lifetime and beyond. The products restore and remove rust spots, clean with an oil-based soap free of ingredients that damage cast iron and a plant-based oil for seasoning and conditioning.
An air fryer is an excellent gift for those trying to make their cooking healthier. It gives foods that crispy, deep-fried texture with a small amount of oil. An air fryer can also grill, roast, and bake foods. This four-quart fryer is available in several colors.
An Instant Pot can replace many other kitchen gadgets and is a great gift idea for the home cook without much countertop space. An Instant Pot is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, steamer, saute pot, yogurt maker, sterilizer, and warmer all in one! This pot is six quarts.
This Cuisinart waffle maker is stainless steel with a nonstick griddle plate with four quarters. There is an indicator light, so you don’t have to set a timer and five settings to get your preferred browning level on every batch.
A sous vide cooker gives you tender, juicy food each time and locks in all the nutrients. This machine can be controlled anywhere via Wi-Fi. It will shut off automatically and notify you when the water level sinks lower than it should be.
Making ice cream used to be very labor-intensive and required lots of ice. This Cuisinart ice cream machine eliminates both! The machine makes DIY ice cream in about 20 minutes and can make up to 1.5 quarts.
This is more than just a toaster. It can also reheat and defrost things. And it’s a “smart” toaster. When on the bagel setting, it will heat both sides and toast just the cut side! The toaster has extra-wide slots to accommodate thicker items like bagels and waffles and has seven browning settings.
This ceramic holder is a beautiful way to store wooden spoons, spatulas, zesters, and other cooking utensils. The bottom is lined with cork, so it won’t scratch the countertops. The holder is available in two sizes, 6.2 and 7.2 inches.
Kitchen tools can be beautiful and valuable! This marble rolling pin is so pretty they won’t want to stick it on the cabinet. Marble rolling pins are heavier than wooden ones, making rolling out dough easier and smoother. The wooden holder is perfect for displaying the rolling pin on the countertop.
I love this Oxo mandoline. My knife skills aren’t good enough to get the thin slices you need to make things like pommes, Anna, and French onion soup, but this mandoline gives me skinny veggie slices with no cut fingers. The slicer has settings for three slice sizes.
Dedicated cooks know that fresh is best, so this grinder is one of the best gifts you could give them. The machine can grind spices, coffee and espresso beans, nuts, and more. It is easy to use: add the item to the container, put it on the lid, and press!
You’ll know why this is an excellent gift if you’ve picked thyme leaves off the stalk for a recipe. Just put herbs or greens like kale through the hole and pull; the part you want is free of the stems! The flat edge can also be used to mince herbs and includes a cover to protect the blade.

This bamboo cutting board features Vermont’s places and attractions. It is laser engraved on one side and smooth on the other. The map side makes it an attractive piece of home decor, and the other makes it an excellent cutting or serving board. Several states are available.
A slate cheese board is always an elegant addition to a table. This board includes four cheese tools and two pieces of soapstone chalk to label the items. The rope handles make it easy to carry from the kitchen to the table. The board measures 10 x 15 inches.

Is it a snow globe or a sugar bowl? It’s both! This globe can be turned upside down to get a spoonful of sugar or salt. This makes a fun Christmas gift for your favorite cook.
Check out this idea if you have a little cook on your gift-shopping list! This set includes an apron, a chef’s hat, an oven mitt, a potholder, cooking utensils, and a cookbook. Getting kids in the kitchen is a great way to teach them healthy food and financial habits.
These grocery totes have it all! They’re flat-bottomed, which keeps items from getting squished or falling over. They’re also washable, so cleaning up is easy if something leaks. The bags are water-resistant and collapsible, so they don’t take up much room when stored.
Certain foods taste great, but their cooking smells can linger. If you’ve ever cooked fish, you understand! The soy wax candle neutralizes smells from cooking, smoke, trash, and more. The candle is scented with natural plant oils that are non-toxic and safe for children and pets.
The smell of foods like garlic and onion is hard to get off your hands no matter how many times you wash it. But oddly, rubbing your hands with stainless steel immediately removes those smells.
