Each mom is unique. That is why Mother\u2019s Day gift guides can be a challenge. This year, I\u2019m only sharing three Mother\u2019s Day gift-themed posts. This one is for home cooks since many of us have prepared more home-cooked meals than ever before during this past year.

The second post will be for sleep lovers and the third will simply be what I\u2019m asking for during the month of May. After this last year, I think that all moms need more than one day of celebration this year<\/em><\/strong>. My birthday also falls in May so I get double gifts. \ud83d\ude0a\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, my overall picks for home cooks haven\u2019t changed since my holiday 5 Best Kitchen Gift Ideas for Home Cooks 2020<\/a> post. I started thinking about helpful \u201cbeyond the essentials\u201d kitchen items that I have or want though. I think that one (or a combination) of these affordable kitchen utensils would be a thoughtful gift idea for moms who love to cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kitchen Gifts for Home Cooks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Basting Brush:<\/strong> These are great for cooking both indoors or outdoors on the grill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Basting Syringe:<\/strong> This lets you inject marinades into the meat that you are preparing. It is great for chicken, turkey, ham and the like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Can Opener:<\/strong> You don\u2019t realize how important a quality manual can opener is until you\u2019re struggling to open a can. Home cooks will be so glad that you \u201cupgraded\u201d their can openers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Food Thermometer:<\/strong> There are various types of food thermometers. They all take the \u201cit looks done\u201d guesswork out of cooking meals. You can see if the required internal temperature has been reached by using a food thermometer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Fish Spatula:<\/strong> Also called slotted turners or chef\u2019s turners, this kitchen utensil makes it easier to flip and remove fish fillets from its cooking pan without tearing the flesh. They are multipurpose and can be used for other foods besides fish too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Oil Mister Spray Bottle:<\/strong> Home cooks can use this to mist olive (or any other type of) oil. It\u2019s a healthier, \u201cgreener\u201d alternative to an aerosol spray can oil. Sprays are great for cooking in general. If the gift recipient owns an air fryer, they will especially love this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Spatula<\/strong>: I think of\u00a0Jennie<\/a>\u00a0when I use the KitchenAid spoon spatula from\u00a0her event<\/a> many years ago. Small gifts can be special!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Vegetable Peeler:<\/strong> Home cooking requires peeling various fruits and vegetables. I especially appreciate using my peeler for potatoes and apples. Random trivia: The pointed end of your peeler is designed to remove potato eyes. (I didn\u2019t know that initially.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Whisk:<\/strong> They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. A balloon whisk is an especially great gift option. It can be used to smoothly blend food ingredients by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bonus Pick (for Home Cooks Who Own an Air Fryer)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Magnetic Air Fryer Cheat Sheet:<\/a><\/strong> This is the only air fryer accessory that I have bought so far. It\u2019s so helpful to have the general air fryer cooking times visible. I just have it on the side of my refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
