All we want for Christmas is…
We know just how challenging it can be to buy the perfect present for your loved one. So this year, if you’re buying something for the culinary king or queen in your life, we’ve done some of the hard work for you. Take a browse through some of the best kitchen fadgets – ahem, kitchen gadgets – money can buy. We’ve collated our five favourites which we think make excellent present ideas for him, her, or, more importantly, yourself.
The Crimpit
We would like to start with this amazing little item. It’s key to creating the greatest toasties ever made. The Crimpet works with your favourite sandwich thins by securely fastening the edges. Place your favourite filling inside, Crimpit, then place it into a toaster to create a crispy parcel of delight. Not only is it so easy to do, but they are also incredibly moreish. We love them for their versatility as they are great for using any leftovers. So step aside Breville as Crimpit is now here!
Air Fryer
The notorious air fryer is hot right now and we know exactly why. With an astonishing 3000% boost in sales this year, it’s not only a money saver but a lifesaver too. This groundbreaking gadget on average costs £55.71 a year to run, whereas the pesky electric cooker costs a whopping average of £335.57. That’s just over 6 times cheaper to run and helpful for living in the current climate. Not only this, but the air fryer is marvellous at creating healthy, quick, and tasty dishes, with some, like a Ninja, even allowing you to cook a full roast chicken – in under an hour! So perhaps this Christmas, purchasing this appliance could be a great investment for a loved one and hopefully, you can use it too! But be quick to get your hands on one, as they are flying off the shelves already this winter.
14 – in – 1 vegetable chopper
If you haven’t seen one of these yet, you’re about to have your mind blown. This kitchen gadget may be little, but it is revolutionary in the kitchen and can save you buckets of time. Simply place your fruit or veg on the chopper edge and press down. Voila – all your goodies are chopped up to whatever size you choose. This is a fantastic time saver for dinner preparation and making snacks. We especially admire its usage for dicing up onions and keeping those tears at bay. But what we love even more about this gift idea is that it’s pretty inexpensive for all that it does. You can find them on amazon for around £30 – so waste no more time and buy now.
Hot chocolate velvetsier
This magic machine is about to level up your hot chocolate game, and it certainly makes the best hot chocolate we have ever tried. All you’ll need is your chocolate of choice and milk (dairy or plant-based). Then let this gadgetry transform them into a frothy mug of sheer joy. Where can you buy them? The chocolate gods Hotel Chocolat sell one of the most popular Velvetisers, however, it is slightly on the pricier side. If you’re on a slightly lower budget this Christmas, check out the La creme dupe on Amazon. This is an amazing alternative and also comes with free delivery as it’s over £20. Maybe this present needs opening before Christmas though – it is just that good!
Joy Recipe Journal
Call us old-fashioned, but we love a good recipe book. However, if, like us, you use different recipes from different books or ones you have in your head, then look no further. The Joy Recipe Journal allows you to collate all your favourites in one place. This culinary scrapbook can be personalised and has handy sections and areas where you can add other favourite culinary delights too, such as restaurants and stores. It’s an amazing multipurpose present. Use it as a keepsake and pass it down to the next generation to keep Grandma’s secret recipe in the family. Or use it to allow your kids to develop their independence and cooking skills. Take a look here to get your book today.
We have had great fun making this year’s Christmas wish list and hunting down the best buys of the year. There are so many excellent things for those that love cooking, and lots of gadgets that you wouldn’t always buy for yourself, but make a great gift. So whether you’re looking for something more luxurious or something a little more practical, we hope to have covered it all in our Christmas Gift Guide. But if it’s not a gadget you need this year, but a little help with your Christmas or New Years’ celebration, then get in touch with us, because we can help with that too!
