Made from 67 layers of damascus steel (basically layered and hammered steel) with a 60-62 Rockwell hardness rating, this knife has exceptional sharpness, strength, durability and stain resistance.
The handle is a composite material composed of glass fiber cloth and epoxy resin, which can withstand great forces without breaking deformation. It also has an ergonomic shape for superior control, agility and comfort.
Tortilla Press
I think most of us probably have waffle makers and panini presses at home, but what about a tortilla press? If you’re every into Tuesday taco night, this is the perfect gift for someone that likes to cook at home.
The cast iron used in this press is seasoned at high temperatures with organic kosher certified flaxseed oil. And the heavyweight construction means less effort and more consistency when pressing.
Vegan Reusable Food Wraps
Bee’s Wrap inspires positive planet habits with their reusable food wraps. They’re made in the USA using organic cotton infused with a proprietary blend of responsibly sourced beewax, jojoba oil, and tree resin. This combo creates a durable, yet pliable plastic wrap alternative that can be used again and again.
Dutch Oven
Dutch ovens are an essential in the kitchen. They are true workhorses being able to bake, simmer, fry, boil, steam, saute, braise, and even serve directly on the table.
Dutch ovens conduct heat and transfer it to the food inside from all directions. The ability of the cookware to hold this heat means that less energy is required for long, slow cooking methods. The ovenproof lid helps retain moisture and prevents drying during long cooking times.
One of the best brands you can buy is Le Creuset, but if you’re looking for a cheaper alternative, check out this option from Lodge on Amazon.

If you’re gifting to someone who loves to cook, chances are they’ve heard of sous vide cooking before (French for “in vacuum”). But have they tried it?
It involves vacuum sealing food in a bag and cooking it in boiling water. The trick is getting the temperature and time of the boiling just right to make sure the food comes out perfect.
