Are you the head chef in your house? If you are then you know how exactly how hectic keeping everyone fed over the festive period can be and if you’re not, one of these handy gadgets will make a great gift.

Christmas is a busy time, especially for the person in the kitchen. No matter how much you love cooking, baking and making, living up to your guests’ expectations can be stressful. But no need to panic, whether this is your first Christmas dinner or your 100th these handy kitchen essentials will take off the pressure of getting everything perfect this year and leave your guests wowed!

Thermometer

Getting the turkey right is a must and having a dual probe thermometer is the best way to guarantee perfection. It is not just about ensuring the meat is cooked but also that it is not overcooked. When any meat is not cooked at the right temperature it often ruins the texture and flavour. Having a thermometer like this one allows you to keep an eye on the cooking and make sure that your bird is cooking evenly at the right temperate. The multiple settings also make this gadget useful all year round as you can also use it for other meats helping you get perfection every time.

Cookie-cutter 

Wow, your friends and family with some embossed Christmas cookies this year. You can use this patterned rolling pin for anything thing from shortbread cookies to gingerbread. The pattern really adds a wow factor to your bakes and it could not be easier and quicker to use. If you’re struggling with a gift idea for a baker in your family, it would also make a great gift.

Wine Keeper

This stylish wine saver will keep an open bottle of wine for up to a week. The wine preserver removes air from your wine bottle to keep the flavour of the wine and stop it from going bad. The air pump is made of stainless steel which is durable and long-lasting meaning again it is great for use all year round and also a great gift for a wine lover!

This oval cheese board is made from sustainable Hevea wood and is the perfect addition to your Christmas table.
