Meat thermometers are that must have item for every kitchen. Without a thermometer we are just guessing about internal temperatures, which can lead to under-cooking food. Not only is this Kizen thermometer great for testing meat, it also can tell us the temperature of frying oil, hot or cold beverages, and baby formula. It is waterproof and gives a nearly instant read in two to three seconds. The screen is large and easy to read with a backlit design. No longer are we subject to over or undercooked food. This great gift comes beautifully packaged in a foam lined box. A great and welcome choice for a grilling enthusiast.

Sometimes it is the most mundane gift that is the most appreciated. Those who have wire shelf units love them for the sturdiness and ease of design. Yet the same wire shelves that allow great storage also come with one irritating flaw. Not everything we want to store on a wire shelf does well resting on wire. These Thirteen Chefs shelf liners are just what we need to create flat and stable storage. This will keep those small items from falling through and the flat surface will prevent bottles from falling over. These liners are translucent so they will not block the light, one of the important aspects of wire shelving. There are several sizes which allows a snug fit but we need to know the size first. Maybe these are a gift we give ourselves.
Gift giving does not have to be a headache as these simple but practical kitchen gift ideas show. Each of these is a great idea for friends or family or perhaps just for ourselves.
