hey guys today i thought i'm making a
0:02
quick holiday gift guide
0:04
for all my foodies and home cooks out
0:07
there
0:07
or anybody in your family that fits that
0:10
criteria
0:11
hopefully if there are any of you out
0:13
there who are scrambling
0:14
to look for gifts for yourself or your
0:17
loved ones
0:18
this will give you some bit of
0:20
inspiration so let's get started
0:22
so it'll mostly target people who are
0:25
new to cooking and people who are
0:27
pretty used to cooking at home and are
0:30
looking to expand
0:31
on their tool set so the biggest and the
0:34
best
0:35
tool or workhorse in your kitchen would
0:38
be a stainless steel pan
0:40
such as this one the best thing about
0:43
this pan
0:44
is that it can go directly from the
0:46
stove
0:47
right into the oven without
0:50
any issues with damaging the pan
0:54
affecting the cook quality nothing like
0:56
that it's great
0:58
super versatile and all kitchens need a
1:01
stainless steel pan
1:02
you can literally make so many things on
1:05
this one pan
1:06
and this has been my oldest pan in my
1:09
entire collection
1:10
i used to use this 24 7 in every single
1:14
dish
1:15
that i made because you can really do so
1:17
much with it it's great for saute
1:18
great for searing great for making sauce
1:22
great for one pot recipes that go
1:24
directly in the oven
1:25
some examples of dishes that i love
1:27
cooking on this pan
1:28
is an orzo shrimp curry or
1:31
my one part chicken and rice and it's
1:34
just great it's so convenient
1:36
and you can even use a nifty lid to
1:38
really
1:39
make so much out of this one pan
1:43
now if you have a stainless steel pan
1:45
you definitely
1:46
also need a non-stick pan
1:49
now there are so many kinds of non-stick
1:51
pans out there
1:53
from ten dollar ones all the way to
1:56
hundreds of dollars now the one i'm
1:58
recommending
1:59
is right there in the middle it's not
2:02
too expensive but it's not the cheapest
2:04
either
2:04
but with the price comes quality so the
2:08
ones that i'm recommending
2:09
is the madura set now this came with
2:13
two pans actually one is an eight inch
2:15
pan which is great
2:17
for omelettes and the other one is for
2:20
saute
2:20
now out of these two i use this the most
2:25
if you guys have been seeing my stories
2:27
on instagram
2:28
most of my breakfasts are made on this
2:31
one pan which is
2:33
awesome because i can really make
2:36
a lot of different kinds of dishes this
2:39
has kind of replaced
2:40
my stainless steel pan actually for my
2:43
go-to saute pan because you don't need
2:46
that much oil
2:47
i never have to worry about anything
2:49
sticking onto here
2:50
like i literally make egg white
2:52
omelettes just pure egg whites
2:54
which are notorious for being
2:58
extra sticky compared to if you make
3:00
eggs with a yolk because the yolk has
3:02
a bit of fat and you can make a ton of
3:04
egg whites into an
3:05
omelette without the use of oil
3:09
in this pan and the company also claims
3:11
that you can use stainless steel
3:12
utensils
3:13
on that pan i try to avoid doing that
3:16
because you really don't want to scratch
3:18
that up
3:18
because once that gets scratched up the
3:20
dominoes just
3:22
don't stop falling so usually you get
3:25
these two pants the set
3:26
and the best deal you can get is
3:28
directly from swilling.ca
3:30
don't go to amazon don't go to any
3:33
retailer
3:33
the best price is always as willing at
3:36
least
3:37
in canada i got these for just under
3:40
200 which is a great value for a quality
3:44
product such as this one
3:45
okay so these two pans will set you up
3:48
for so many dishes along the way
3:52
now if you or your loved ones already
3:54
are set with their favorite pants they
3:56
don't want to
3:57
part ways with their favorite pants then
4:00
you can really give them some other
4:02
little knick-knacks in the kitchen which
4:04
can really make the cooking experience
4:06
more pleasurable
4:07
so all i mean by something that's nice
4:09
to have is something like
4:12
this peppermill here now this is from
4:14
lake rosette
4:15
and it comes in these beautiful colors
4:18
because it's ceramic
4:19
on the outside and with ceramic you can
4:21
really dye it
4:22
different types of colors and it just
4:25
looks beautiful
4:26
and what i really love about it is it
4:28
really adds that pop of color
4:30
into your kitchen so it really gets you
4:33
excited to use it
4:34
every time you hold something that's as
4:36
beautiful
4:37
as this and this makes for a great gift
4:40
for anybody
4:41
who loves to cook or who's getting into
4:44
cooking to really inspire them
4:45
i got this as a gift and i really love
4:48
it and cherish it and it's awesome
4:50
now when it comes to ceramic you can
4:52
have so many different kinds of
4:53
beautiful little gifts
4:55
like this one here like this is a salt
4:58
holder
4:58
by i want to drop that this is a salt
5:01
holder by stobe
5:03
and it's great to have i used to have my
5:05
salt tucked away in my cupboard
5:08
and i never thought of something like
5:10
this and you can always put in a bowl
5:13
but what it comes with is a nice cute
5:16
little lid this is a coco style because
5:18
it's from stove and i find it really
5:20
convenient to just have right next to
5:22
you while you're cooking
5:23
so you can really easily just reach in
5:26
season your food and you're good to go
5:28
you never have to look around to find
5:30
salt because
5:31
seasoning and salt is the most important
5:34
part
5:35
when it comes to cooking now another
5:36
nice to have thing and this is again
5:38
from stobe
5:39
is a spoon rest now spoon rest may seem
5:43
fancy overblown overhyped and something
5:46
that's
5:47
completely unnecessary but once you've
5:50
owned it
5:51
i thought the same way earlier on by the
5:53
way but once you've owned it
5:55
you never stop using it and you always
5:58
think that
5:58
wow this is kind of genius like it may
6:02
seem like a first world problem
6:04
but with the spoon rest you never have
6:06
to put your wooden spoon
6:08
covered with turmeric or sauce directly
6:11
on your countertop so no more staining
6:13
no more excessive cleaning and even
6:16
though i use paper towels sometimes
6:18
before i had this on the counter it
6:20
would always
6:21
seep through and there was always some
6:23
sort of cleanup
6:24
i would have to do now because this
6:27
ceramic
6:28
you can get lots of colors but also it
6:30
makes it very easy to clean
6:32
so anything that gets dried on it or
6:35
anything that's
6:35
gets stained on it can easily just wash
6:39
now we talked about some beautiful
6:41
non-stick pans earlier on
6:42
and to help protect those pans you need
6:45
some great
6:45
tools and you can never go wrong by
6:48
getting something like a spatula
6:50
a silicone spatula now spatulas are
6:53
great if you're a baker
6:55
if you like to cook if you have lots of
6:56
nonstick pans spatulas are always great
6:59
and i think you can never have too many
7:01
spatulas
7:02
there's so many different sizes you can
7:03
get different colors
7:05
and again it just adds to that pop of
7:07
color in your kitchen
7:08
and it's always nice to have that
7:10
because there are so many uses to it
7:12
when you're baking to really mop that
7:15
batter up really clean those sides
7:18
and for cakes for cookies when it's
7:21
cooking you can really
7:22
tackle those delicate dishes with a
7:24
dainty little spatula like this one
7:26
and it can really help protect those
7:28
beautiful pants so you can really use it
7:31
for a long time ahead now this
7:33
particular one is from zwilling and it
7:35
has this beautiful
7:37
metal band that goes all throughout the
7:39
handles so i really
7:41
know that this is a strong sturdy
7:43
product and
7:44
it's great to have it's not too
7:46
expensive i always
7:48
shop on sale and zwilling always has
7:51
some sort of great sale going on and i
7:54
always
7:55
jump on them whenever i can now my
7:57
second most favorite
7:58
utensil in the kitchen is a fish spatula
8:01
now this thing is used
8:03
for almost everything except fish
8:06
because most of the times i
8:08
bake my fish now what's great about this
8:10
is it's thin
8:11
it's sleek and it's metal so you can
8:14
easily
8:15
slide under anything and scrape anything
8:19
and lift up like feathers so if you are
8:22
flipping burgers or if you are searing a
8:24
chicken or even making pancakes
8:27
these things are great to really get
8:30
that flip
8:31
right protect those pancakes from
8:34
breaking when you flip
8:35
protect that beautiful sear that you've
8:37
worked so hard towards and really
8:39
this tool is going to save your life
8:42
so many times for you in a sticky
8:44
situation because it has done that for
8:46
me
8:47
quite a number of times now finally i
8:49
want to talk to you
8:50
about microplanes microplanes are
8:53
awesome
8:54
i have i have these two at the moment
8:57
and they have completely different uses
9:01
now before this i used to use a box
9:03
grater well the box filler is great for
9:05
something like
9:06
guided cheese like cheddar or mozzarella
9:08
or
9:09
anything that's soft but for hard
9:11
cheeses
9:13
even the box cutter is not the best
9:15
thing
9:16
because you can never really get that
9:17
fine grated texture
9:20
now what's great about microplane is you
9:21
can really super finely grate
9:24
hard cheeses like grana padano or
9:27
parmesan
9:27
very easily and the texture would be
9:30
such
9:31
it's going to melt in your mouth and
9:32
it's going to be beautiful in any pasta
9:34
dish
9:35
and it's again a nice to have which
9:37
makes it great
9:38
for a gift these are things that are
9:42
awesome you look at the store shelves
9:44
and you see it
9:45
but because you don't need it you don't
9:47
get it
9:48
it's the holidays so anybody
9:51
who you think would love and appreciate
9:53
these gifts
9:54
it's the time to gift something that
9:57
they would
9:58
want to have rather than what they need
10:00
to have
10:01
to finish this off this quick little
10:03
guide
10:04
you want to get some cookbooks and i'm
10:07
gonna just share
10:08
two of my favorite cookbooks which
10:10
really is modeled after two of my
10:12
favorite food types
10:13
pizzas and burgers now these are the two
10:16
books that i would recommend
10:17
which is beginner friendly and it's
10:20
full literally full of delicious recipes
10:24
this is all about pizzas this is all
10:26
about burgers and
10:27
i'm sad and the great thing about it is
10:29
you learn lots of little basic skills
10:32
which is great for anybody who's getting
10:34
started into the world of cooking
10:36
and anybody who wants to equally expand
10:39
their skill set
10:40
so if you're getting all these tools you
10:42
want to get yourself or anybody that
10:44
you're gifting these to
10:45
excited about cooking and there's
10:47
nothing more special and personal
10:50
than a cookbook go and pick a book with
10:52
cuisines
10:54
that your loved ones would love the most
10:56
and it'll make for a great gift
10:58
and it'll be a bang for your buck
11:00
because you'll be treated
11:02
with some great food in the new year
