Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) Precision Slicing Knife

With this precision slicing knife, you can yield perfect portions of equal thickness, no guesswork needed. From fruits and veggies to meat and cheese, set the adjustable metal guide to your desired slice size and make identical cuts quickly and easily.
2) 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.
3) Silicone Food Savers - Set of 4

Set of four nesting silicone food savers. Food Huggers create a tight seal by wrapping around your leftover fruits and veggies. Fit your half-cut fruit or veggie into the closest size to save for later. Food Huggers also work over jars and small containers to keep contents fresh.
4) Smart Garden

The Smart Garden was made to grow fresh food for you automatically. It waters the plant, provides necessary lighting and makes sure your herbs, fruits, vegetables, salads and flowers have enough nutrients and oxygen at all times.
