Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) 3 Color Thermometer
This patented steak thermometer uses three LED lights to tell you when the steak is medium rare, medium, and medium well. No more guessing and no more raw or overdone meat. Get your steak exactly right, every time with SteakChamp. (Works on grill, oven, or stovetop and with duck, fish, and game, too.)
2) Spice Gallery Gift Set
Take dishes up a flavorful notch with an artisanal spice gift set. Essentials like sea salt and chilli flakes sit alongside out-of-the-ordinary spice blends (ever try lemon peel, sage, and bee pollen?). It’s all directly sourced from growers and farms to ensure purity and freshness, and the blends are unique to Curio Spice Co. A tea towel and handy recipe cards round out this perfectly giftable set.

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.
