But as most of the chefs (indeed most people), we love a nice gift. Recently, I asked my colleagues about the best equipment ever received. It requires a lot to impress this staff when it comes to cooking tools. However, we can safely say that although there may be no bought The 11 items presented below, we do not want to live them.

For cookies, cakes, cakes and other baking that does not require a worktop engine power rack mixerThis little machine brings the perfect energy. It does excellent work for butter and sugar cream and results in fluffy whipped cream. This can also help the egg whites in rigid peaks without any problems. – – A drinkwriter

A few years ago, I really wanted to make ice cream. I dreamed all kinds of fashionable taste and combo, but the ideas didn't work as it wasn't ice cream– But a Christmas, my husband surprised me with the winning compressor ice cream that came true (and his) dreams. I even used to make the pint wilderness grapes, mascarpone and peanut fragile ice cream as wedding discounts. (You can read everything here.)

During the epidemic, I struggled to get stuck at home, so my dad did what every good father would do: he went to Costco to buy a gift for me.

Needless to say, I started baking bread and didn't look back. Thank you, Dad! – – Solomonleading social media editor

The three cups of rice maker from Toiro, which my wife bought me many years ago, is still one of the favorite gifts of all time. I love all levels: far the best rice is better than any of my estates and even better than the electric rice (which is still very good and indisputably more comfortable); Makes an incredible one-pot donabe food (see The wonderful cookbook Written by: Toiro owner for ideas); And this is a work of art that I like to see. If I had my shelf, I could easily slip into a Donabe collector hole and buy different types that have other culinary goals, but I would also be happy to be decorative pieces. – – Daniel GritzerTo editor -in -chief
