Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) Ceramic Rice Cooker
This ceramic rice cooker makes a delicious pot of rice every time. Cordless and compact, it boils on the stove for a few minutes and retains heat as it simmers and sits. Its lid ensures water won’t boil over, while condensation drips down to prevent freshly cooked rice from drying out.
2) Madagascar Vanilla Extract
Spice things up with pure vanilla flavor—deep, rich, and full—made from sustainably grown vanilla beans. Madagascar extract boasts its own distinct flavors from its growing region. Madagascar Bourbon is the scent and taste most commonly recognized as traditional vanilla.
3) Grow Your Own Green Onion Kit
Hamama®: Grow Your Own Green Onion Kit - Green Onion Kit
4) Seven Piece Bamboo Nesting Bowls
Bamboozle Home: Seven Piece Bamboo Nesting Bowls - Pastel
5) English Muffin Splitter
Preserve the delectable textural quality of an English muffin by gently splitting it instead of cutting with a knife and ruining all those nooks and crannies that cradle butter and jam so nicely.
