Great gifts for good cooks
Everyone knows someone who just can’t seem to get enough of the kitchen. Louise Sauvé-Nicholls of Hamilton Beach, a leading appliance maker, says if you’ve got a foodie on your list this holiday season, here are some gifts that will please:
• The Busy Cook – “Today’s home chef is becoming more health conscious,” says Sauvé-Nicholls. “So an indoor grill is the ideal gift for someone who loves to cook but doesn’t always have the time to make the healthiest food choices.” Sauvé-Nicholls also says men will appreciate an indoor grill. “They’re the ideal bachelor pad gift.”
• The Multi-tasker – “The product that is just flying off the shelves for us this year is surprisingly, a can opener,” says Sauvé-Nicholls. The OpenStation is no regular can opener though she says. It includes three tools and opens six types of packaging in a flash. From hard-plastic “clamshell” style packaging to glass bottle caps, plastic bottle lids and pop-top cans, the product is ideal for busy kitchens.
• The Entertainer – Sauvé-Nicholls says today’s high-tech slow cookers are an excellent choice for that someone who always shows up with food for the party and loves to entertain at home. Look for units that provide added features a real foodie will fall for like gasket sealed lids, lid latch, travel case, recipe tags and stoneware that can be removed for serving. “Choose the quart size that is most appropriate for their lifestyle,” says Sauvé-Nicholls. “A seven quart is perfect for entertaining big groups.”
