Great Gift Ideas for The Foodie Man
Carbon8 Water
We’ve all seen the home carbonation systems where you fill a bottle with water, attach it to the unit, and let it do its thing. You create a full bottle of carbonated water in just a few seconds. That’s great, if you use an entire bottle in a short amount of time; or if you’re making a flavored carbonated beverage and everyone wants the same flavor. Enter the Carbon8 Water System, which allows the user to make as little as one glass at a time of deliciously fizzy carbonated beverage. The Carbon8 Reactor also filters your water, eliminating chlorine and other off-flavors. Save your CO2 for actual drinks instead of making a big bottle that goes flat before you finish it. The Carbon8 Water System eliminates waste by enabling the user to make just what they need and is perfect for cocktails and mocktails.
OrGreenics Rose Gold Hammered 22 Piece Cookware Set
Know a guy that likes to cook? Maybe it’s your dad or your husband. OrGreenics Rose Gold Hammered 22 Piece Cookware Set is the perfect gift for him. It has pretty much all you need to cook anything. While it’s called Rose Gold, this set is anything but girly. They have that old-school vibe and almost looks like copper pots and pans that have been used for ages. But there is nothing old school about the OrGreenics set. They are non-stick, ceramic finish, and oven safe up to 500 degrees with scratch resistant surfaces and are dishwasher safe, too. The pans are flat-bottomed and designed to work on any stove surface. The set includes 3 sizes of skillets and fry pans (2 with lids), 3 sizes of saucepans (one with a stainless steamer insert), griddle, and a large assortment of bakeware for all of your baking needs. Oh, and did I mention they’re recommended by celebrity chef Marcel Vigneron.
OrGreenics Hammered High Carbon Steel Knife Set
Everyone needs a good set of knives. You really don’t understand how inadequate your current knives are until you get a new knife set. The OrGreenics Hammered High Carbon Steel Knife Set is just what you’re looking for. The knives are well weighted and feel really comfortable in your hand. They look good too, with their hammered finish carbon steel blades. The eleven-piece set contains all the knives your kitchen needs, from kitchen shears to steak knives and everything in between. And everything fits nicely in a compact knife block that will look great on your counter. It’s a perfect companion to the OrGreenics pan set.
Zwilling Knife Sharpener
The Zwilling Four Stage Knife Sharpener is designed with two things in mind: sharpening your knives and keeping you safe. Zwilling has designed their knife sharpener to be small enough to keep in a drawer, yet still handle all of your sharpening needs. Its ergonomic design keeps your fingers far away from knife blades while sharpening, while still holding the knife blade at the correct angle to give you that fine edge that makes cutting so easy. The knife sharpener handles both steel and ceramic knife blades. There’s even a special slot to sharpen your scissors. This is one of those tools that you don’t realize how dull your knives have become until you sharpen them, and then wonder how you lived without it for so long.
L’OR Barista Coffee & Espresso System
Do you have a coffee lover in your house? Up their coffee game with the L’OR Barista Coffee & Espresso System. There are two things you notice right away about the L’OR Brewing System; it is compact and has a small footprint, and it isn’t like the coffee-capsule machines you have previously used. L’OR has developed a machine that uses steam to brew your beverage, whether it be espresso or regular coffee, or a specialty beverage. It heats up in 25 seconds and has a large 40 oz. water tank. L’OR can brew from 1.5 oz to 12 ounces at a time. Best of all, you get that layer of crema on top of every brew. It makes coffeehouse quality drinks at home. It uses L’OR or Nescafe pods, and there’s a wide variety of flavors to suit anyone’s taste.
Fritaire Air Fryer
The Fritaire Air Fryer might make him want to cook more often. Besides its cute shape (it looks a little like a glass robot) and fun colors, it can handle the usual air fryer tasks and then some. The Fritaire has several cooking features that set it apart – the glass sides, so you can watch your food while it cooks to perfection, and the rotisserie spit and basket. You can cook a chicken on the rotisserie like your favorite big box store, or air fry a batch of wings or perfectly crispy fries in the basket where you don’t have to worry about turning them, as they rotate constantly. It also contains no teflon, if that’s a concern for you. Did I mention how easy it is to clean the Fritaire unit? It basically cleans itself! Just add a little water and soap and it will do the rest. Just rinse, dry, and it’s ready to use again.
HexClad Double Burner Griddle
Does Dad like to cook? Does he like to cook for his family or pals? This HexClad Double Burner Griddle is just what he needs to make pancakes for the family for, say, Father’s Day morning brunch. Or maybe he likes to cook burgers or fajitas for a crowd; this is his pan. The double griddle fits over two burners on the stovetop and he can easily cook for a large crowd, while not needing to watch what utensils he’s using or worry about scratching the finish. Nothing sticks to HexClad, and it has a lifetime warranty. Celebrity Chef Gordon Ramsey uses it at home, and you wouldn’t argue with him, would you?
Food and Beverage Gifts
LALO Tequila
LALO Is a relatively new brand of tequila on the market, but that doesn’t mean it’s not something gift worthy. Lalo is created from the descendants of an old tequila family. Lalo, the grandson of Don Julio Gonzales, has produced a clear and pure tequila free from additives. The LALO Tequila contains only agave, water and yeast to make a clean pure and smooth tequila. It’s a perfect choice whether you enjoy sipping your tequila or mixing in drinks. Distilled twice to keep it simple, clean, and smooth. LALO is perfect for any occasion or celebration, or something simpler, like a Wednesday.
Hubs Peanuts
Hubs Peanuts have been around since the 1950’s and produce only one product: extra-large, delicious Virgina Peanuts. Whether you’re watching the game or need a little pick-me-up during the day, Hubs Peanuts are a great option. Always fresh, Hubs uses the highest quality of nuts, and they arrive as fresh as when they were roasted. If you aren’t familiar with Virginia Peanuts, they are much larger than the smaller Spanish or Redskin varieties most people know. Whether you choose Salted, Honey Kissed or Sweet Heat, Hubs canisters make a great gift for any occasion, or even just because.
Chicken Cock Whiskey
Chicken Cock Whiskey is self-admittedly a silly name, but the company has been producing whiskey in Bardstown, Kentucky, the bourbon capital of the world, since 1856. With that kind of longevity, they have a pretty good product. Their three whiskeys are a Small Batch, a Rye, and Bourbon Whiskey. Their Bourbon has a rich caramel color and undertones of dried fruit; while the Rye is being made for sale for the first time in seventy years. Chicken Cock Small Batch takes barrels that are perfectly aged and are blended into a smooth sipping whiskey. If the man in your life is a whiskey aficionado, the Chicken Cock brand will delight his senses.
