Top 5 Cooking Gifts
1) Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat
The Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat allows you to bake without the need for butter, oil, or disposable paper. The reusable design is made for pastries to be placed directly on the surface for baking or prepping. Use the anti-slip mat to bake cookies or to roll out dough for pizza.
2) Cast Iron Spice Grinder
This cast iron spice grinder easily mills and crushes spices, chiles, peppercorns and more. Toss ingredients in its cup, place the grinder on top, and turn until you get the just-right grind. The beech wood lid lets you store freshly ground goods inside the grinder, too.
3) Seasoned Herbal Salt Blend Jar Set
The seasoned herbal salt set features Sel Magique's signature blends in a wooden gift box. All of their products are sustainably produced, hand-harvested, and batch-blended. The naturally high mineral content makes these salts incredibly flavorful in small amounts. Use on vegetables, meats, salads and more.
4) Pickle Making Kit

5) Original Round Cutting Board
The wood from this self-healing, end grain cutting board is harvested and assembled in a small, Nova Scotia mill. They cut it to expose the intricate patterns and gradients of the growth rings. But besides the aesthetic benefits, the fibers are lined vertically to close and heal after you’ve cut them. That keeps knives sharper and your board cleaner. It even has rubber feet to prevent moisture from getting trapped. With proper care and seasoning, this heirloom Larch Wood board will last you a lifetime.
