Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) 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.
2) Superstone Covered Baker
Create superior, crackly crusted breads with this oblong ceramic baker. The unglazed interior has the same effect as a brick oven—drawing moisture from the dough. Also great for roasting vegetables, meats, and stews.
3) Original Round Cutting Board
The wood from this self-healing, end grain cutting board is harvested and assembled in a small, Nova Scotia mill. They cut it to expose the intricate patterns and gradients of the growth rings. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the fibers are lined vertically to close and heal after you’ve cut them. That keeps knives sharper and your board cleaner. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom Larch Wood board will last you a lifetime.
4) Large Embossing Rolling Pin
Valek: Large Embossing Rolling Pin - Circles/Diamonds
5) Beer Making Kit
Brooklyn Brew Shop: Beer Making Kit - New England IPA
