5 Crucial Gifts for the Kitchen

Looking for choosing crucial kitchen gifts for your near and dear ones? Then you are in the right place. I am going to give five crucial kitchen gift ideas, which will be loved by the person to whom you will gift. Let’s start: 

Non-stick cookware

Non-stick cookware comes with an exclusive appearance, which is perfectly suitable for modern kitchens. Usually, you can choose a Non-stick cookware set consisting of ten pieces or individually any pieces. The pans are made of different types of layers like aluminum and stainless steel layers. These layers consume the heat and spread it all over the surface so that anyone can cook faster. Besides, they consume a minimal amount of oil which helps to cook healthy foods. Furthermore, a Non-stick cookware set prevents food from getting stuck, and after cooking, these can be cleaned easily, plus they are oven and broiler safe (up to 500°F). Hence, A Non-Stick cookware set makes cooking more accessible, fun, and convenient. 

Food Mixer

Mixing plays one of the most vital roles in the kitchen. It not only saves your time but also makes sure the perfect combination. In the market, you may find three types of Food mixers with a set of unique features. These are: 

1. Horizontal Mixer
2. Spiral Mixer and
3. Planetary Mixer

Among the three types, ‘the planetary mixers’ are perfect for kitchen work. The mixing wand in the central rotates around the bowl, and the bowl can be easily attached plus quickly removed. But you have to focus on certain things before choosing a Food Mixer. Like: 

1. The machine should have a powerful motor.
2. The Bowl of this mixer should be made of stainless steel and has enough capacity, 
3. Food mixers must have manual speed settings, and I prefer a minimum of ten settings in the food mixer. 
4. This should have enough attachments as you can grind any dry ingredients and other items. 
5. The Food mixer should have a title head design; personally, I prefer this because it helps me to get easy access to the bowl. 
6. Brand and Warranty policy must be noticed as brand makes sure the quality and warranty provides free service. 

So, following the above mentioned features, you can choose the food mixer. I prefer the Perse KitchenAid artisan food mixer as this machine is very efficient and comes with a preferable shape. Otherwise, you can select any mixer according to your budget and preferences. 

Blender

As we are discussing crucial kitchen gift items, then Blender could be the most essential one! This machine can be used in various ways plus if your near and dear ones are very health conscious they will be benefited from the tool. 

Kinds of Blender:

Different types of blenders with unique capabilities and sizes are available in the market. Now, let’s checkout them: 

Hand Blenders: 

This type of blender is also known as Hand mixer. They are mainly designed for beating the ingredients together and they come with many attachments. They don’t have any blades, so you won’t need to hold the button on constantly, and lightweight provides more significant usage. But, you won’t be able to make super smooth mixers or grind any items due to lack of blades. But, an immersion blender comes with blades but you have to keep pressure on the switch button, which is hard for single hand use. 

Countertop Blender: 

Countertop blenders come with a larger capacity (almost 2-litre) , sharp blades and powerful motors. This machine can be used for making healthy drinks or smoothies and grinding any dry items. But be conscious about selecting the jar, as steel ones are hard to see inside and plastic ones contain a long. Personally I prefer VITAMIX blenders as their jars are made with quality instruments and powerful motors that make it easier for anyone. 

Commercial Blenders:

Commercial Blenders have power and these are designed for heavy use especially when you have to make a large number of drinks and smoothies. But, these types are very expensive and very difficult to clean. 

So, to gift someone, you can choose any one of them. But, I suggest the Countertop ones as they are very convenient and come within your budget. 

Grill set

A 10-piece grill set will be a unique kitchen gift item also. This set features all the tools any one needs to manage savory steaks, juicy burgers, succulent fish and fresh vegetables. But, make sure they are made with stainless steel and wooden handles fit perfectly on your hands. Basically, the set includes, Chef’s spatula, Grill Tongs, set of skewers (4 sets), grill brush and replacement Grill brush heads (2 pieces). This set comes in a very affordable price range. 

Digital Rice Cooker

This is another useful tool for kitchen gifts. In the market you will find different types of cookers with various features. Now, digital rice cookers have many cooking programs that, anyone can make pasta, soup, stew, rice, steamed veggies and DIY functions to create many possibilities. Again, it has a user-friendly digital panel and LED display plus this tool keeps rice warm for 12 or 24 hours. This unique digital machine is going to save a lot of time as you need to pour water and rice in it and turn the switch on. That’s it! Furthermore, it can be cleaned easily. So, you can choose this Digital rice maker also. 

Conclusion: 

You can consider any one from the above mentioned items when you are going to buy crucial kitchen gift items. These gift items come within the budget and trust me, I gave a Non-Stick cookware to my aunt, and she was so happy to have it. So now you have to choose which item you want to give.
