Chowhound Gift Guide 2019: The Best Kitchen Gadgets, Appliances, and Tools

KitchenAid misty blue hobnail bowl 100th anniversary edition (best kitchen appliance, tools, and gadget gifts for home cooks)

Gift-giving season has arrived again, and that means you’re probably searching for the perfect thing for several people on your list, some of whom are sure to be enthusiastic home cooks (or maybe in need of a little help in that department). These kitchen gadgets, tools, and appliances make great gifts for a whole range of people, from those who love to cook and are always looking for another toy, to those who have a rather bare-bones kitchen and need a way to rustle up some sustenance (cue air fryers and Instant Pots).

Food52 x Staub Turmeric Cookware Collection 4-Quart Cocotte, $149 on Food52 (normally $284)

Food52

A cocotte is essentially the same thing as a Dutch oven—perfect for braising, stewing, and roasting, but also useful for baking and deep frying things. This one is made by Staub for Food52 and is part of their beautifully colored Turmeric cookware collection, which will look great in anyone’s kitchen, not to mention on their dining table too. (Now through Nov. 28 you can also get free shipping on any Food52 purchase with no minimum order.)Buy Now

Mealthy CrispLid Air Fryer Attachment, $59.95 on Amazon

Mealthy CrispLid

Mealthy

Know someone who’s intrigued by air fryers but already has too much counter space given over to their Instant Pot (or other pressure cooker)? This nifty new Mealthy CrispLid will basically turn that Instant Pot or other 6- or 8-quart pressure cooker into an air fryer; see our Mealthy review for more. It comes with a basket, tongs, and a few other tools, but those will store much more easily than an entire bulky air fryer.Buy Now

Instant Pot DUO60 6-Quart 7-in-1 Multi-Use Programmable Pressure Cooker, $79 on Amazon

Instant Pot DUO 60

Instant Pot

Speaking of Instant Pots, if you know someone who doesn’t have one yet and wants one, it’s still a great gift to wrap up this year! There are more and more models available all the time, from the small-scale Instant Pot Mini to the brand new Instant Pot Duo Crisp + Air Fryer Combo, but this classic DUO 6-quart remains one of the most popular options. It includes the yogurt making function, but there’s a lot more you can do with it too.Buy Now

KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer, $279.99 on Amazon

KitchenAid stand mixer

KitchenAid

Another oldie-but-goodie, a stand mixer is on nearly everyone’s wish list at some point, and maybe this is the year you’ll make a die-hard home baker very happy. (But heads-up: stand mixer uses go way beyond pastry.) For the cook who already owns and treasures their stand mixer, there are always plenty of nifty attachments to gift them. Or Buy Now

Food52 x GreenPan Nonstick Oval Roasting Pan, $99 on Food52

Food52 GreenPan nonstick roasting pan

Food52

Roasting pans are a must-have in the kitchen, but when’s the last time you saw one that was so pretty? This pale sage-blue pan with gleaming brass handles is totally gorgeous, but also a workhorse—it’s nonstick so it washes up like a dream, it’s oven-safe up to 600°F, and it’s compatible with any cooktop, including induction surfaces.Buy Now

Five Two Essential Knives, $49-$139 on Food52

Food52 knives

Food52

Another essential kitchen tool: good knives. But you don’t necessarily need an entire 18-piece set because chances are you’ll rarely use most of them. This pared-down knife collection includes the three that always prove most useful: a sharp chef’s knife, a small paring knife, and a serrated knife for bread and cakes. They’re designed with looks and performance in mind; sharp Japanese steel, carefully calibrated weight for the proper heft in the hand, and vintage details (brass rivets and handles in lovely shades of blue, orange, pink, or gray) make them something special. You can buy them singly or save $38 by opting for the trio all together—but they won’t ship until December 16.Buy Now
