Enjoy the best kitchen gift of the year.
This is the best time of the year! The autumn leaves have fallen, and the chill in the air will continue. Oprah just announced this year’s list of Oprah’s favorite things-her annual holiday essential gift guide. If you haven’t started your holiday shopping, consider this as a sign. If you are already looking for a kitchen or family gift, please consider this moment.
Lady O of Oprah Daily and her elf team worked hard throughout the year to plan this list, rigorously researching, reviewing, testing and tasting products that made their lives better this year. Trust us-they found some of the most enjoyable kitchen gadgets and tools we have seen in a long time. From the machine that makes big work a breeze (bread maker! Smart oven! Pasta maker!), to a comfortable home favorite (candle oversized cup = bliss), to interesting new devices (filling waffle maker?!) , You will surely find anyone in your life who likes cooking and eating as much as you.
If you are a big fan of Lady O, you know that Oprah’s favorite items list are some of the most coveted holiday gifts, so be sure to act quickly. Many of the items on this list are sure to sell out quickly, just like they do every year. Best of all, this year’s list supports small businesses (many of which are owned by people of color) and female-led brands.
Therefore, without further ado, enjoy the home gifts in our favorite kitchen and Oprah’s favorite things.
There were jelly molds in the 60s, hot pots in the 80s, and cooked food plates in the 2020s. We do not make rules! Give this stunning 8"-x-36" plank to the most important hostess or your friend, whose Instagram feed is just a view of the deli. Don't indulge in this beauty-it is part of a limited edition collaboration series between Etúhome and design blogger Colette'Coco' Shelton (@cococozy).
These luxurious candles are the kitchen’s *Chef’s Kiss* fragrance. Oprah is a big fan of the heirloom tomato scent, a sour scent that reminds her of the plump and juicy summer tomatoes she grows in the famous Montecito garden. The candle set exudes herbal aromas of rosemary and sage.
Oprah has officially joined other parts of the Internet to universally praise Material Knives. The brand uses Japanese steel to make incredibly durable knives, and the price is as high as most professional-grade tableware. This set includes their iconic 8" chef's knife, a 6" serrated slicing knife and a 4" paring knife. With these three knives, you can do any work in the kitchen. Bonus: that smooth magnetism Wooden frame.
This miraculous little invention makes disinfection completely hands-free. Just wave your hand on the motion sensor and it will be sprayed with a moisturizing protective layer that actually smells good. It is very suitable for preparing holiday celebrations or as gifts for your own home.
Breadmakers are nothing new, but my goodness, have they seen a resurgence in the past 18 months (who is counting?!). Keep up with your bread making self in 2020 by adding this Yedi bread maker to your collection of small appliances. Please hurry up when giving gifts-the bread maker will definitely become a dream item this year!
The number of sideways observations I received for drinking my morning Joe from the soup cup is now irrelevant-Oprah is on my team. Join our big cup club by scooping up a set of these 24 oz stoneware bbs. Or better yet, give a set to the person with the highest caffeine content in your life. They are very suitable for gifts because they come in four neutral colors and can match almost any kitchen.
There are some things you just can't do without. For me, soda water is one of them. This premium carbonator from Aarke III is an ever-present gift-you never have to go without soda. Compared with constantly replenishing the inventory of disposable bottles or jars, it is also more environmentally friendly.
Treat this as a gift from your new owner. This stoneware bakeware is equipped with a heat-resistant cork tray that fits like a glove and can be moved directly from the oven to the table-without cooling time or serving. In addition, it can be washed in a dishwasher for easy cleaning.
That's it for the 2020 air fryer. This year, let's change the gift of the countertop smart oven. This from Tovala will surprise you: you can scan the barcodes on groceries (including almost everything from Trader Joe's!), and it will automatically adjust settings to cook. Superfan Gayle King vowed that the bad boy kept her full during the pandemic quarantine.
This kitchen gadget is perfect for chefs who have everything. It is not just any old waffle iron-it can produce Belgian style waffles. The handheld device can be used for electric or gas stoves, grills or open flames. The possibilities are endless: sweeten with chocolate or fruit filling, or sweeten with ham and cheese. In any case, this road is decadent.
Blessed pasta lovers! You can now make fresh pasta at home with the push of a button (yes, really). Simply add the wet and dry ingredients to the compartment on the top of the machine, and then choose the shape of your noodles-pasta, lasagna, macaroni, everything. After ten minutes, appetizer!
It's time to upgrade our non-stick pan from Teflon to ceramic. Why? Ceramic is a more effective conductor, so it heats more evenly and is oven safe. In addition, it does not contain PTFE and PFOA. In particular, this set of GreenPan is an excellent gift for health-conscious chefs, because their special coating requires minimal oil. Not to mention the cute colors! We like this sunny yellow, but there are five other options for the suit, including pink, blue and neutral colors.
