Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) Cross-Back Denim Apron
This denim apron takes a utilitarian approach to keeping you clean in the kitchen. Pure cotton denim is the aprons’ durable base, and there are perfectly-sized pockets for a notebook and pens. The cross-back construction opens up your range of motion and, because it doesn’t tie around the neck, it creates less stress there during long baking sessions.
2) Ergonomic Oyster Shucker
This oyster shucker makes a tough job easier and it gives back to the ocean, too. The stainless steel blade extends fully into the handle for boosted durability and has a bent tip that provides the perfect pivot point to crack open the shell. An ergonomic thumb print on the sturdy recycled plastic handle gives you a firmer grip. Pair with the optional cut-resistant shucking cloth, and you'll be ready for an oyster feast.
3) All-in-1 Measuring Cube
This all-in-1 measuring cup does the job of 19 measuring devices in one compact kitchen helper. Made with food-grade plastic, it’s small enough to fit in a drawer and packs in measurements ranging from teaspoons to cups—and in both imperial and metric—in one cube. Dishwasher and microwave safe.
