To take the guesswork out of buying gifts this year, we at Chico Times asked our friends at The Grommet for their latest and greatest practical gift suggestions for 2021.
These guides are geared towards specific interests. You’ll be able to find something for even the toughest person on your Christmas shopping list.
Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) Cast Iron Handle Guards
American Bench Craft: Cast Iron Handle Guards - Black Leather
2) Kitchen Multi-Tool Bundle
Teablespoon: Kitchen Multi-Tool Bundle
3) Light Weight Fabric Salad Spinner
Ditch the bulky salad spinner for a slimmed-down and lighted-up way to dry greens. Gather rinsed lettuce, herbs and more greens in the super-absorbent microfiber towel and give it a (literal) whirl for a few seconds. The towel soaks up moisture while a waterproof barrier prevents splashy messes.
4) Meat Handler and Shredder
The original meat shredding claws are often imitated, but these are the real deal—durable and Made in the USA. Six super sharp prongs easily shred meat, like pulled pork. They offer great grip to lift large roasts or turkeys, and hold them stable when carving. The minimal, ergonomic design is easy to grip and easy to clean, with almost nowhere for bits of food or juices to hide.
5) Shaker Rolling Pin
The Shaker Rolling Pin is a classic—possibly the same design your grandmother used. With simple lines and a solid feel, it rolls quickly at a weight of almost two pounds.
