Oil Mister
For anyone that’s trying to be a bit more healthy, this Oil Mister will be a godsend. It dispenses just enough oil to coat your food without going overboard. It’s also a convenient replacement for cooking sprays and allows you to control which oil you’re using. Whether you use it to coat your air fryer or just when putting in a tray bake for roasting, we guarantee it will simplify every budding chef's life.
Cooking Thermometer
Whether your friend is a baking fiend or a grill master, a kitchen thermometer is a handy tool to have around. When it comes to making candy, a controlled temperature is everything and this digital tool will help you get an accurate read down to within a few degrees. Also since it reads to a high level, it can also be used to check oil temperatures and be used as a meat probe to ensure that your meat dishes are cooked to perfection.
Bread Maker
Is there anything as alluring as the smell of freshly baked bread? With this electronic bread maker, you can start every day with a fresh loaf. Although it’s a little on the pricy side, it also has functions for kneading dough and cakes so it's not just a one-trick pony. For those who have large families or are confessed carb-lovers, we’re sure this invention will be a welcome addition to the kitchen.
Cast Iron Pan
One of the most iconic moments in every amateur chef's journey is the introduction of their first cast-iron pan. These creations need a lot of love and care but also have an incredibly long life and make a huge impact on the quality of your cooking. This skillet comes pre-seasoned (although we recommend doing another round, just to be safe) and is perfect for dishes that need to transfer from the stovetop to the oven with minimal fuss.
Garlic Press
Ask any chef what their least favourite part of cooking is and they’ll probably say the preparation stage. This hand-held garlic press takes a lot of the stress out of one of the most fiddly parts of any recipe. Just push down on the clove and scrape out your garlic, no more chopping required!
Mortar and Pestle
In the age of electronics, most people rely on mixers and grinders to do most of the heavy blending work, but sometimes old-school really is the best way to go. Having a mortar and pestle on hand is useful when a recipe calls for a rough paste or when you want to really extract the full potential from a blend of herbs or spices.
Multipurpose Chopping Board
Save your chef friends multiple trips to and from the sink with this ingenious little innovation. With the ability to pop out into a tub, you can rinse, drain and chop with one device. It saves on kitchen space and will speed up your kitchen work no end
