I have often said that a Microplane Grater and a really good Chef's Knife are the only two tools a home chef will ever need, and I'm not wrong. That said, these other tools would make life so much easier, and are always appreciated gifts. If you are shopping for a foodie, or budding foodie, this holiday season, here are the kitchen tools that I find most valuable and highly recommend, from stocking stuffers to items of a more serious nature. Click on the name of the tool under the photo to take you to the place to purchase.
This invaluable set of 9 measuring cups features not only the standard offerings, but also a 1/8 and 1/16 cup allowing the cutting down of recipes to be a breeze. This set is not only appropriate for those just setting up households, but also for established cooks who now find themselves cooking for only one or two.
Etched measurement markings for easy reading, this measuring set comes with 1/16 tsp, 1/8 tsp, ¼ tsp, 1/3 tsp, ½ tsp, ¾ tsp, 1 tsp, ½ tbsp and 1 tbsp. Each one gives the ml measurement also.
This is one tool I will not be without. Yes, I don’t use it all that often, but when I do, it makes quick work of slicing. This is genius for potatoes au gratin, wafer slicing onions, and making homemade potato chips.
This is on appliance that I use every week. From whipping up smoothies, to chopping nuts, grating chocolate, making salad dressings, hummus and pesto, I find this tool invaluable.

I am reminded that our daughter has the mandolin since we don’t use it. Some great ideas there though.
good idea....
Thank you for sharing
I always gift myself with a new kitchen tool for Christmas and this year it is the Kitchen Aid cordless, rechargeable mixer. I don't know what I ever did without it! I can mix anywhere in my kitchen now and no pesky cord in the way ever.
Thanks for that, Lana. I think I’m going to need to have one of those. I never consider myself much of a baker, but these days I find I am doing it more and more often. I am totally on board with cordless tools, so why not a cordless beater? That is genius!
